Grouchie, I think the last hand is bad. People usually donk there draws on the turn small at the $50 but there were no draws on the turn. I think you can just call the turn. After raising I think you're beat when he raises again, enough to fold getting good odds.

Yeah, I see that now.
That was after about 200 hands at the table and People had been pretty much letting me get away with anything thus far.
For some reason I just got it into my head that he was playing back at me because I was a big stack....

That was my mental fart!

The fish love their inside straight draws up there don't they.

Last 2 days have been frustrating. Sit with huge fish at every table but can't do anything but breakeven over the last 4k hands. Every continuation bet gets reraised or floated.

Then just a few minutes ago this happens.

Anyone else not shove this river?

[Mike Kelley]

Raise Preflop so A4 either folds or is all in before the river.

Yeah, I was kicking myself for not raising PF, especially on the button. After two days on not hitting a flop hardly, was playing passively. Villain was 60/10, so figured he would call and I wouldn't hit, so just limped.

[Mike Kelley]

I got boom switched at the end of my session tonight and won back 4 bi's from last nights down swing.. Hilarious. I was hitting every set I had a chance to and they were holding up/ meeting agression.
