in a previous-previous life, i would have called the bet by BB. TERRIBLE. in a previous life, i would have raised and then called the 3bet. not as terrible as a flat call of BB. this month, i push to his 3bet. BINGO. prior to this month, i wouldnt have made much money on this hand and would proceed to lose a BI to KK vs AA AI PF. that my friends, is a big part of how i was breakeven for so long. lost big pots and didnt extract when i had the goods. i have tons of hands like this throughout this month and my graph shows it. the reason we could not find this leak is because i only posted big hands that i lost, not big hands that i made and didnt extract. supwithbates did some railing on my play and noticed this issue with my game.
life is better now, although i sighed at the turn and cursed stars at the river. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
