I noticed a trend in a few of these hands that may indicate a leak in your game. When you put your money in with the best hand, your opponents draw/suck out. Yet when you have the worst hand, you fail to improve.

Rectify this problem and you will be playing true Power Poker.

Why are you playing this high variance game, when you can rake in the easy dough with party blackjack?

TWP,

That was him calling 176 more after bluff-re-raising to 3900. He did think about it a little bit.

Very strange. I thought it was 4K more. Very confusing notation, if it is really only the 190 more.

Man, I guess I picked a bad time to randomly IM you after a month with:

"Happy New Year, hope you get to play some more poker this year!" [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img][img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Peace brother, I'm confident it'll turn around for you.
