***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...

[Insane_Steve]

Hahaha, this month I'm +$1100 on FTP and -$450 on Stars.

The hand that tipifies my recent luck on Stars, I'm donking around at $50 NL 2-7 TD and there's a guy who open shoves after the second draw in most pots that get to be decently big. I have 9-6 low and decide to look this guy's twice pot shove up, he draws 2 (lol) and I'm thinking "AWW SHIIIIIIP" and stand pat.

he tables 8-7.

*head explode*

So ya, I've stuck with FTP from pretty much the whole month to ride out the HU forum Stars doomswitching.

[PartysOver]

hand 1 is gross
hand 2 is meh by you
hand 3 is gross
hand 4 is meh but i call too
hand 5 is ok

what is with your like micro raises?

[ChicagoRy]

Indy the only solution to getting through the variance faster is to play more, not less!

You can't play 5-10 games a day and expect to have a positive week everytime, you won't even have a positive month at times.

Not to be critical, I do the same exact thing, don't play enough.

[MasterLJ]

2pair is probably the hand that gets me stacked the most. Jesus help me!

[dippy111]

yeah, i should have raised more.
