Default Live No Limit Nightmare

Trying to learn to play this boring no limit game.

$200 restricted buy-in no limit, I lose the following four hands at the same table within two hours:

AA all-in preflop vs Q4o who called off $170 after raising to $35 UTG.

QQ vs TT on a 982 flop.

AK vs As5s on a KdTs5c flop in which $220 from my stack went in on the flop.

66 vs Ah9h on a 9d6h2s flop in which my opponent bet $20 and then pushed when I raised to $60 on the flop. This was the same opponent who had beaten me in the Q4 hand, so he had my $300 covered.

I was a 95, 87, 85, and 84 percent favorite in these hands. It's a good thing you only need a 10 buyin bankroll for this game...

I guess maybe that's true, since I still made $50 today. I still think your game sucks.

-Michael

Play more heads up 80/160 and less NL, clearly.

No limit = more exciting than limit, less exciting than directing kiddie porn

I think you meant starring in kiddie porn. Directing is the worst case of blue balls in the world.

Obviously. Because TWP always intends for his comments to be taken as written and is never, ever, sarcastic. Obviously.
