I obviously knew exactly what he had, and was wrong that I could get him off of it.

zomg, so im playing against this massive fish at 2-4nl, like 76/22. i raise to $16 with 66. he minreraises from the blinds to $28. i call. flop 478. he checks, i check. while i check i say to myself, please a 5 or 6. turn: 5. yyeessssss. he leads out $40. i know i will get his stack. i know he has an overpair and wont fold. however, my internet connection has been a bit slow. i type in $111, i click on bet, but it's not betting, im like wtf wtf, why god, why, then i regain connection once ive been folded. ARGAHRGAHRAGHARRA. bye bye $400 profit.

ive been struggling a bit, breakeven last 10 hours or so of play but still up about $7K since thursday. i dropped down to 22/14 from advice in the other thread i posted from 29/20 becuase i was playing like crap postflop for a while.

fingers crossed for this afternoon.

I saw there was one new post in this thread and that it was made by john kane and imediately thought to myself there is no way that this isnt a summary of his last couple hours/days

wow villain sucks there. i dont like your 5th street c/r as well, id stay in the lead. your board is better then his, he's been passive, a ton of guys peel light for 1 and if they dont catch perfect, they fold. the 7 isnt a blank, it sometmes gives them 4 to a low, but if they pair them they're generally AT BEST 3to a low w/ 7s and a kicker facing you w/ 4to a low+pair or 2pair/no shot at low/calling down to split.

also it's generally futile but based on action you have half the pot, i norm throw a big bet in the case they fold their high since they have open 3s on board and you obv cant win half of it.

id c/r 5th if you have a made low and can get them to pay 2 to draw vs them for half when they're often drawing near dead in one. (ie yu caught a 4)

Hey, NLH players can play stud, too!

[/ QUOTE ]

Disagree and think he played it well. This is how I'd play split aces too. The play is great when villain makes a mistake and bets a 4 low and then bricks off the next street. He is going to have a hard time calling the 6th street bet and if he does, fine, you have scoop potential with your entire hand range that makes this play.

I'd bet 7th though just in case.

no and yes, respectively. holla. btw you could probably be a better poster/player if you didn't insist on trying to "outplay" everyone. i guess the huge calling station fish is gonna fold KK though, nh.

Anyone who plays with Gogol's Nose and uses PAHUD...

Do you lose your stats of him after every time you play? I've played with him a decent amount, and every time he sits, his stats start over again. Weird.
