This stuff is why my winrate is 4.24PTBB/100 over 14k hands. The problem is, I don't want to have to play 100k hands of 50NL before I get a decent winrate.

Honestly, how often does this happen? There's no way this is costing you like 2-3 buyins a week, it's gotta be pretty rare.

[/ QUOTE ]
Rare stuff happens all the time given the amount of posters we have here. I have 5k hands so far this year and have had 4 set under set situations and haven't won AA even once when real money went in the pot. (They either folded pre-flop or sucked out.)

UTG calls $0.10, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $0.2</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB calls $0.15, Hero calls $0.10, UTG calls $0.10.

Flop: ($0.80) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets $8.85 (All-In)</font>, SB folds, Hero calls $8.85, UTG folds.

Turn: ($18.50)

[/ QUOTE ]

Where is the rake in this hand? Seems like the total money in the pot adds up to $18.50, which it says is the final pot. Is the 10NL rake on Stars lower than FTP?

That's what they say about AA, you win a small pot with it a bunch of times, and lose a big pot occassionally. I find this especially true in cash games. A little less so in tourneys where there's a lot more raising and re-raising preflop.

Have any of you guys seen the south park episode "make love not warcraft"? If you haven't and you even remotely like that show I suggest wasting 20 min. of your time and checking it out on youtube bc its hilarious. I have no idea when this episode was original aired so if everyone has already seen it just respond by calling me a douche.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah it was a great episode, I did like the whole last season though.

I love having a Dual Core Processor. I'm running "Auto-Rate Players" for the first time in PT and it's not making my computer slow at all.

Can you tell me the names of your favorite episodes from that season off the top of your head? I don't even play warcraft, but that was [censored] funny.

This is just January, AA accounts for more than my winnings total over my other 30k hands (I know I'm a bad player).

[Imrahil]

Yes, I'm rated as Semi-Loose/Agressive (although I should be rated as a Tight-Agressive/Agressive at 50NL).

The pro's of almost positively identifying villain as 2p2..(rebought after each hand, raised to $1 and always raised the button)

He ran his timer waaaaay down...I'm like "FOLD THAT [censored] QQ YO...."
