Blech. The last drop was to a 77/20, i played the hand bad.

[chicken10der]

i think i was playing badly because i was bored, had some severe FPS that kept blowing up. the loss of money combined with setting up a new set of card mods got me back on track. it's like it's a new game, and the money has already been won back. tremendous.

This hand was just played poorly even though the guy was 77/20, still no excuse. Early he had stacked off with a/10 preflop and beat my j/j, then flopped top 2 with a/k and beat my a/j after he just calls my late pos. opening raise then he just pwns me here.

This is mostly 100 NL FR, with some 50 NL at FTP and some 100 NL heads-up mixed it.

BRAG: winrate
BRAG: NO variance this month, literally
BEAT: I need to stop being lazy and play more hands

I don't understand the hate for Avjen. He's played nothing short of solid poker since I've seen him at 2/4.

I sometimes post odd raise sizes against decent players just to mess with their thinking. It works well against all types.

How does it mess with them and how do you know? I think raising different hands to the same size is a much better approach as it restricts their odds, but still mixes up your PF range enough to confuse them. I raise to diff. amounts, but never anything to give them great odds to call. It's awesome when I make it 4xBB UTG with 22 or 33 or something, get reraised small enough to call, and stack Aces on a 357 board. The perks of raising small pairs UTG.
