Thats where alot of lst months buyins went - 3bet AI with sets and combo draws on the flop...

I'd take more value + variance any day over less value and less variance.

I'm not sure I quite agree with you there.
I won't take every potentially EV play for more value with more variance. E.g. I won't coniflip 1/2 stack with say 99
vs an opponent thats pushing AI alot - high variance and yes prob. EV but I'll choose a more EV spot and stack him with TPNK.

When I meant marginal value spots I mean like TT when K lands on the turn or the river is a yucky card and I can't bet as much (or so I think) because I doubt villan will call.

I did c/r AI today with 88 vs a turn PSB (I had a read [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )
so I don't mind variance as long as it figures to be a good play.

Well with the right music on the background (seriously) I am very sturdy in regards to variance. I tend to tilt very quickly though if I feel I made a incorrect play. I can handle 5 suck outs in a row, but if I make a few incorrect plays I'll start to tilt in no time. Yeah my brain is wired strangely. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
