You're better than me, so I'll think about it, but given what I had seen from these two I was sure the raiser would have bet the flop with a pair, the other guy would have bet the turn, and that neither of them was calling a bet with no pair on the turn. The raiser especially was very straightforward, would check-fold AK on the turn but never think of folding to any amount on the river. I figured trips on board was a good time to try the slowplay and then the A was a perfect card.

Posted it b/c I thought it was funny more than as a brag.

Ahnuld, teach me how to win at bigger stakes when down money!!! God bless poker is gay. -7200 for the month.

[ahnuld]

good result and funny fo sho cause he overplayed that hand really badly on the river in a nothin pot, but dont underestimate how stupid some people can be. But if you got a read trust it, im just commenting in a vaccum.

fuss fuss fuss, getting close to a 5 digit downswing, which would obviously suck hairy balls.

Might just start many-tabling 400nl during the day and make some easy low-variance moneys, then play the bigger games at night when theyre particularly good.
