I could show a bunch more from hands I folded pf, but for some reason PT isn't showing me hands from other players on their page...

that guy from the first hand stacked off with 99 on a board of KQT against a guy that threebet preflop by bet-calling flop and check-calling turn

ah, turning off filters helps

So I wanna take an aggressive shot at 2/4 with just under 20 buyins.. is there anything different between the 1/2 regs and the 2/4 regs, or is it like the jump from .5/1 to 1/2 (more aggression, but not necessarily smarter aggression)?

Okay, I played for about an hour 4-tabling and it doesn't seem too much different. Just had a question on some of these plays:

<font color="green">If this isn't appropriate to post here, or if this is too many hands to post, just flame me; I didn't wanna start a thread for these when they seem like pretty basic spots.

games were great today, lost $600 but played so good and didnt spew once.

[Black winter day]

1) 41/5 seems like a loose passive to me, so he could very well have 2 pairs here already.I'd call and reevaluate turn in several cases, but in SB vs BB shoving here is ok as well, you have at least 4 outs to the virtual nuts even if you are behind, 7 if he has AT, bunch of others if he has KT and in a lot of cases you are ahead.


2) I prefer to make it like 170 here, a shove often looks so suspicious that they call with TT-JJ, while they can't just call half their stack with med pair, cause they don't know what to do on the flop.

3) I am not folding here against anyone but the absolute nits.Have to stack off on that board.His small c/r does look a bit suspicious though.

thac i think they look fine
