how is my reraise size here? i normally do 4 times the original raise but with 2 callers, i need to charge more. 3x the pot is 1.95.

[/ QUOTE ]It looks fine, $2 is about what I go here but your size isn't really a leak. Sometimes I will just push with his shortstack.

played by far my biggest session ever...4 tables for i think a bit over 3 hours...my stamina sucks so this is big for me...

spent most the session stuck, but a late rush and i finished up 2 buyins...coupled with earlier, 7 buyins today...close to getting rolled for taking shots at 25NL...

august has owned so far...

Both opponents loose-passive, not like 0.4 AF but low. Don't have any solid post-flop reads at this point. I am calling a shove, yes? Given his stack size and passivity I would do the same with AK, TT+. I want flush draws, straight draws, underpairs to chase here with a big hand or even move in on me. Should I ONLY do this with made hands?

I rule micro microstakes. This week:



Last 23,000 hands:




I didn't know it would ever be possible to run good again. All I can think about now is when it will come crashing down again.

If I sell my truck and some musical gear I may actually be able to rebuild my roll this month.

Just a small PSA for all you fellas struggling here in uNL:

- Contain/Eliminate your tilt. I understand that it's "cool" to be one of the crowd (ie. oohh look at me I run bad etc), but man, if you guys could control your tilt, you'd be making some serious money up in SSNL. Yeah, it sucks to get drawn out on, but you know what, just get it back. Make it a challenge to yourself to not tilt. It's ok to get upset/angry/pissed etc. Just do so at the computer you're sitting at, NOT IN THE GAMES YOU'RE SITTING IN! Get yourself a little squish ball or the ilk and throw it at the monkey who just sucked out. Use that as your "tilt" outlet. Just do NOT let it affect your play!

I'd rather be invisible at SSNL than a superstar in uNL....

I do a ridiculous amount of trash talking and arguing while I play lately, but I've been killing while I'm at it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm getting action I wouldn't otherwise get because people are pissed at me.

I get physically angry all the time, much more over coolers than bad beats. I'm not sure how much it actually affects my play, except for that I frequently have to limit myself to 4 tables because I'm too distracted to deal with 6 or more. Plus it gives me more time to be a jerk in the chatbox.

I've had my chat revoked by my own request twice but ended up getting it reinstated. For tilters this is a pretty good idea. I just can't quite stand not being able to talk back when someone slams me.

I'm getting hit by the deck. TT+ every other hand, flopping straights, two pair, etc. The problem? Everyone is folding. D'oh. Ah well.

[Dilznoofus]

Start talking trash.

I was at your table vixticator, it was extremely passive
