you can accomplish the same thing by making a real 3bet instead of overbet shoving and risking more

So why not try and slow play AA prolly the first time I pick to do it and then this mess happens.

This week has been HORRID with overpairs to sets. I will be ok just is starting to make me sick. How is it that I am suppose to be MISS CLEO and put this donkey on 1010??? I have to make a move here since high card is a 10 and most times he has over pair to the 10 like KK or QQ. does that make sense?

Then this hand just as I was bout to leave for the day.

Screw hold em...I think I'm gonna play $50 HU PL Omaha Hi/Lo SNGs from now on. I just played 2 in about 20 minutes, easiest $100 I ever made. Watch out "tatta", I'm moving in on yo turf!

Edit: If you want a good laugh sharkscope "tatta"...I think that is primarily $50 and $100 HU PL Omaha Hi/Lo SNGs. I played him twice the other night...1st match I pwned, 2nd match his AAxx caught a 2 outer on me. He was meh.

For those who play Full Tilt over Poker STars (or whatever other site).

If you play NL100, would you mind giving me about what your RB per hand works out to be?

thanks

[diebitter]

Month so far, playing 100/200/400, mostly 200. Not doing as well as usual, but what the hey. Not picking the best times to play, and finding 200 is playing more like 400 at the moment.

Obv I play nowhere near the number of hands some of you do [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[Jurrr]

I'm running worse than I ever thought was possible. Everybody is hitting against me [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

I was down -$1,850; now "only" -$860; we'll see what the evening brings.

4k hands, 17% went to SD; 33% won at SD; and I run worse in NL400 than NL200.

KK &lt; AA twice, set &lt; higher set, AQ TPGK &lt; turned trips (the guy was a donk and there was a FD out so I felt pot committed, but maybe I should have bailed out), KK &lt; AK on QJT board, set &lt; donk catching a straight on the river after money already in, A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] &lt; JJ all in on Jx x[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] x[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] flop against a guy who played 75% hands and flatcalled a 3bet for 1/4 his stack, AQ TPGK &lt; supermoron turning a set with an underpair, A9o &lt; ATo all in preflop vs. a supermoron headsup who had openpushed last 3 hands in a row, more shortstacks hitting sets off me, morons owning me headsup and in threehanded games, etc., etc...

On top of that I made a couple of bad folds as well; one I'm even ashamed to mention and the other featured TT as overpair against a LAG who pushed turn with an OESD - and showed to make a point.

P.S. So this is all not so sad; biggest pot of my life to date and a rare gleam of sunshine today:

I took a break from FR and played 6max for a few weeks (only 2500 hands, playing one or maybe two tables at once) and I think it helped my FR game.

Some of the posters had mentioned giving it a try and I just wanted to say thanks. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
