My first live hand...

[dsalt]

I'm a fairly successful online player, won a few mtt's and so on...but I played live for the first time last night...
3rd hand I get JJ, make it 8 to go playin 1/2nl
i'm bb, lady to my left 3 seats just calls...
flop: j92
i check, she bets 15
call
turn: 8
i check, she puts 30, i push for 110 more
river: K
she shows KK, nh maaaam
so that was my first ever live hand...a good memory I suppose.
Another thing I noticed is that
A: people don't fold open ended/flush draws...no matter the bet
B: I saw 6 players in 4 hours of play show AA or KK at showdown without raising preflop...
C: People will check anything but the nuts at the river because "he could have had...(fill in the absolute nuts hand)
D: 3/6 limit is a joke...might as well play blackjack
overall a pretty good experience...does anything I listed here seem standard to your live experiences? Obviously this is just one 4-5 hour session....

D: 3/6 limit is a joke...might as well play single deck blackjack with a 1-5 betting spread and 85% penetration.

my first live hand i had 84o in the BB, like five limpers, i checked of course and it flopped 884. i check, bet raise, all in before it gets to me, end up all in 4 ways.. 1/3NL with 100 max buy

AA slow played
KK slow played
8x didn't slow play
and i win!

In live poker you can't fold when you have live outs.

I saw your first hand. You still wanna be jamming the pot with top set? You've got a long education in front of you.

Welcome to 2+2. For many folks, this is their primary hobby: searching forums for places to drop one-liner insults.
