That's what I was thinking...he doesn't seem like the type that would cold call JJ-KK OTB, right?

Also I've been 'stacking' lately and really like it, much easier to 8 table on my little laptop screen. Thanks for the tips!

Only problem is that I'm having a hard time taking notes on people. I'll see something to write down and the table will disappear and not come back for awhile. Any tips for that?

Don't play on a doodoo laptop!!!!

[Mr_Donktastic]

I think I would stack anyway even if I had a nice monitor, maybe just have 3 stacks instead of 2. It seems much easier to play 8+ tables that way.

Plus I like not seeing the hand results right away...seems like a good tilt-deterrent.

overpairs are still never good and the nuts always get counterfeited on the river so many [censored] 4 outers tonight jbhdakjbef;iowhgfvhojdkljbzdvhbsek

Just had a negative 5 buy-in day at 100nl. How out of the ordinary is this? Should I shoot myself [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I seriously ran as bad as you can and didn't play much better.

[chicken10der]

getting [censored] out of 5 buyins, or as i call it, a "weeknight", is normal only for those cursed by the cosmic injustice of the universe. make the nut straight and hi card pairs on the river? well, your opponent limpcalled you with [censored] Q8o and made the most unlikely boat ever. oh, you make a full house with 22 on a 2535 flop? WELL YOUR OPPONENT CALLED A RAISE PF WITH 53 [censored] OFF. AND DON'T FORGET THEY ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS HIT THEIR [censored] FLUSH DRAW WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG OVERPAIR UTG BECAUSE THEY CAN'T RESIST CALLING IN EP WITH ACE SEVEN SUITED

Didn't want to start a new thread with this. Something weird happened with PS and I insta-disconnected on the turn...like I was thinking about whether to push or fold and with no warning I was disconnected.

Question is this...for those of you that know him, villain is Rock Ness. Do you think the disconnect saved me money or cost me money????

Yeah, saved. And you should have bet more on the turn a) so you could fold easier to the raise and b) so you could protect yo hand betta

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I do feel cursed at the moment

[D.L.M.]

I think id rather get raised and know i could be getting played with rather than bet more and knowing when to fold.
