So I was playing a like 15 minutes of NL10 cause I was trying out a new table size + new pahud layout and what can I say, that was pure poker fun... Maybe I should just stay there and not fight to get 4.5ptbb at NL100.

Is anyone else here "poker manic-depressive" (like me)?

For people with huge databases and # of hands on people...

How many hands do you display in you HUD?

I want a solid number displayed for accuracy but I also want to know if people are gradually changing their game.

I'm thinking 3-5k would work?

[vizer02]

I do the most recent 3,000.

Ugh.

I'm so sick of being mini check-raised on the flop over and over.

I started reraising with trash because I was a bit tilty.

How do you guys deal with it? Just constantly let hands go?

[TheProdigy]

Find out who is doing it.

Stop cbetting them as much.

Cbet them with nuts more often. Play it from there.

At 100nl, I doubt they will realize you are cbetting less. Also overall there I just kept doing it because I realized it was just coincidence that I was getting raised a lot more than people noticing that I was cbetting a lot. But regardless to combat it you should identify who is doing it and either cbet them with draws/decent hands more often and be able to reraise them more often.

Or just bluff reraise them constantly.
