Default 2 fun hands

People say you shouldn't raise speculative hands in micro-stakes. I'm just playing these stakes for fun, so why the hell not?

Hand 1
I raise 76xx to 5x pre and get 2 callers, 1 is a shortstack. Flop 668. I never check here, so I fire 2/3 pot. Shorty on my immediate left calls all others fold. Pot is about the size of shorty's stack now. Turn is a 7. I check/miniraise him all in. I'm an azz so I type "ty ty" into chat before the river falls and he leaves the table. He called all that down with AQxx.

Hand 2
I raise 99 OTB to 5x after a couple limpers. Flop J39xxx. Checks around to me, I bet my usual 2/3 pot. Only CO calls. Uhm... ok. Turn is a 3. CO check/calls an overbet. River completes the runner-runner flush. CO check/calls a buy-in with J6 (we both had > 500 BB). Yes, your TPNK is good, I'm certainly 3-barreling overbets wtih a missed AK. Again, I'm an azz and type "lol", but to his credit, CO just rebuys and pays me more later.

I LOVE TO PLAY DAH POKAH!

You must not have noticed his name. I think he knows... Or he's a fish that thinks he's a shark pretending to be a fish. Those are the best.

Never said I wasn't a fish. Check the forum handle. Besides, does saying that I'm playing these stakes for fun not also imply that I'm playing like a fish?

My point with that was clearly it won't take me years to realize it, and clearly I don't care.

As to being mean to the other fishies, well, it's not like I berate them as I've seen so many others do. I just tap on the glass once in a while... from inside the tank.
