Man the deck is being absolutely brutal to me the past 2 weeks.

Lol he called a big check-raise on the flop with runner-runner clubs as HIS ONLY outs. Of course he got there.


EDIT: running J Q was good too.

I'm shortstacking a few 100NL tables on FT and actually enjoying it quite a bit. Shortstacking presents its own set of nuances and challenges but I think it's a good tool to help anyone become a better player overall. Of course I'm running like crap but I kinda expected that.

i was confused until i saw that those hands were hu bottomset. They are all played well, but also pretty standard imo.

To be honest I used to think you werent a very good player. But after watching you closely at the tables and seeing your graphs I have to say that you just maybe one of the best 200nl regs.

O and yes I have made several changes to my game over the last couple months and have had great success thanks for noticing.

I got an overbet called on the turn by Ahigh, and called on the turn with KQhigh, the 44 vs QT was just a cooler that I was on the good side of

I guess I get put on KJ a lot

yea...i misread the KQ one. I thought he turned a Q and called your shove with A10. Peeling 2 overs like that on the flop seemed pretty standard for villian at these stakes. 444 vs. Q10 hand is def. standard and I think you see AK get it in UI a lot HU.

btw HOLY [censored] bottom set, you go girl!

[1p0kerboy]

I'm really liking this shortstacking thing.

Plus I feel like I could play a billion tables doing this.

Can someone tell me how much your standard deviation changes?
