I meant to post this earlier. I have to c/f this right? Villain was a solid player.

Can anyone tell me if this is fine? I highly doubt villain bets here without an A but I could be wrong.

I think by your 4bet preflop and your check on flop, you turn your hand face up. He could probably bet there with QQ, but I guess you have to lay it down.

Oh and happy bday Matrix!

Normally I'd bet here but the pot was $40 and a bet would cost me like $20-$30 and I wasn't sure if it was worth it as I'd only get called by a hand that beats me.

folding is fine - if you bet this flop you are basically going all-in (you're not folding to a $20 turn bet (rest of your stack) when the pot is $120 are you?)

much much better to 4bet all-in preflop and hope he calls you then with AK rather than stick it all in on an A high flop and wind up drawing to possibly 1 solitary out.

Generally speaking you ought to open push these flops rather than check them cos checking is like saying "I have a big pair thats not Aces" He'll snap call with any ace usually - sometimes he might lay down Alittlesooted that he had no business calling preflop with, he'll almost def fold KK/QQ/JJ/TT (which is a fair % of his calling range) but usually he has an Ace here so check folding an A flop isn't terrible- at worst it's a mior mistake - and it's not as tho it's one you can make all that often as this situation only comes up once every 2000 hands dealt or so (getting dealt KK OOP on an A high flop) at most.

It's far and away better to just make all your 4bets with good hands pushes (Assuming 100BBish stacks - obv deeper it's not so clever) cos villain is liking his hand enough to 3bet so is less likely to fold and you're usually WA of his calling range with KK.

We are almost 150 bbs deep here so I didn't think of 4bet pushing.

how many people play more than 4 tables? After last nights tilt fest I decided to just play 10 nl and practice more tables. I usually play 4 but was 9 tabling. I played 1.2 hours and my arm is exhausted! I have a 19" LCD so there is some overlap between each table and obv they are all pretty small.
Averaging $37 bucks an hour I'm just gonna have to move down and get a second monitor :P

My advice is: play on 2-3-4 table at the same time. if u feel comfortable and have enough BR then move up in stakes. dont play more table. thats sick, not improve your play, thats an office job etc.

Haha, I'm finally back to owning the NL25 when all of you guys are playing silly HUaments.

As I missed the heads up tournament, I decided to play some heads up and 3 handed NL$2 instead.

Sustainable?

Nothing short of a fantastic day today. Ever since the beginning of January I've been running poorly, playing poorly, and breaking even at NL100. I decide today I've finally had enough and move back down to NL50, and decide to play with the AHK scripts on Full Tilt. A few hundred hands and 4 buyins later, I am feeling pretty damn good about myself. The KK &gt; 66 on the J62 was sweet vindication for me too.

I thought that it would be hard to move back down after taking a shot, but it was anything but. Coming back down to a level that I know I can beat badly did wonders for my confidence, and I'm no longer in any rush to get back up to SSNL. Also being properly rolled feels sooooooooo good.
