Yeah he gave me meds for strep throat I think. 3day supply is almost done and I'm still hurting.

I'll prob go see a different dude monday if I don't improve over the weekend. He didn't really speak english too well. (I live in korea)

i'm playing pretty different i guess. i played a lot of 6 max earlier this year and it sort of leaked over to my fr game. at first i was too loose but very quickly after a few k hands i tightened up to acceptable levels and started using some 6m concepts. i'm still struggling a little postflop when it comes to giving up a little too easily when i don't have the betting lead. i don't think it's a huge problem though just because i don't think too many people 2 barrel at fr. i usually call flop bets from lp raisers if i have a pp.

i don't know if raising is optimal because i always figure out if my pair is good on the turn when they check behind, however i know a lot of people check overpairs behind to get another street of value from just that type of hand. i'm sort of struggling with that right now but overall my preflop game is a lot different and i fixed a lot of leaks in my postflop game when i have the betting lead.

for u guys runnin 0-2bb/100...whats ur hourly?

just lookin for a comparable cuz im very happy with my hourly at 50FR, and wondering why i shud move out of my free money pit

[RiverMustelid]

Just a bad run Main, no?

I mean I've definitely had 30k stretches like yours. I find it hard to believe you are not a winner at 1/2. I used to play a bit of 1/2 at Stars and you were always one of the tougher players.

like $60-70/hr, but with the FPP bonuses and milestone bonuses taken into consideration, it gets closer to $100/hr.

(this is running at ~2ptbb)

It's definitely a tough transitiion either way. I remember you being very solid and tough to extract value from. I'm sure playing a lot of 6-max helped your game a lot.

The situation you decribed is really read dependant... I mean, I check raise sets and overpairs all in on the turn all the time. It;s an easy way to abuse floaters. Works especially well if you feel the opponent will bet his draw and you can get him pot committed with 1 card to come.

Anyways, playing 1pair hands has a huge affect on your hourly, imo.
