while thats obviously a rough beat, i hate the preflop UTG+1 limp and flat call of a raise OOP with 22. you got lucky here that he was willing to stack off like a big donkey with nothing but i dont think thats the most profitable way to play a pp (especially one where any flop without a deuce you're pretty much c/folding to a very likely standard cbet).

i'm not sure how everyone else plays pp's like this preflop but i'd say the majority raise any pp first in 100% of the time. from reading your posts over the last month i know you're on a big downswing but maybe it isnt being helped by fundamental sub optimal play like this.

sorry if that sounds preachy, i'm just trying to help you. i'm sure the majority of your bad run is simple bad variance but if thats your standard way to play 22 preflop i think you need to reexamine your basic strategy...??

EDIT: ok, just noticed you're not OOP postflop but a lot of the time you will be if CO or button raise and not one of the blinds. don't think it changes my basic point tho.

[CallYNotRaise06]

How can you be way ahead or way behind on a T632 hhdd board when you have one pair?
