Re: Recent Vegas trip highlights my poor play-kind of a rant
I was playing 4/8 at the MGM. On the flop I pretty much did it to get the free card. On the flop we have only two players who have yet to act after me. If I raise and get called by both BB and EP then I make as much as if I call and the other two call along which won't happen that much. I was also thinking that I'd have a much better chance to win if I paired my Q or J with a smaller field. However, I can understand why True said to call. I wouldn't just forgoe the flop bets but also the turn ones as well on a very good draw.
As to why I posted, it was kind of a whine (that's why I wrote that it was a rant). I've ran terribly these past three days at pokeroom (losing about 60 BB) 5 max and I think I have to move back to 2/4 from 3/6. I'm just way too aggressive postflop, I think even for 6 max. I'm always thinking "If a hand is good enough to call it's good enough to raise" or "You should rarely call when a player has bet on you'r immediate right, either raise or fold".
