how do we play this one? i'm really unsure in this kind of spot, i believe their range is strongly weighted towards 2pair+, with some top pairs and very few draws. so, depending on the weightings we give, do we just fucking fold?
if he doesn't have any complete airballs (in other words, if his worse hand is a gutshot), calling is just worse than jamming or folding, as it allows him to slow down on overcards and take a free card with any draw hands.

sometimes, i think that the fucking dumbass at the table is me. the evidence might show that it's the case...

monthly:

played some NL50 for fun and got owned by the fish. that can only mean that i am the fish

not sure if i like this. i decided that i was going to use my "trips or better" sizing from the flop, and when the river came then i had to rep full houses... but it's actually not so easy to have full houses here, i'm not getting credit for 82s/83s. i suppose it can't be that bad anyway.

it's annoying, because i use the same lines with value hands and they aren't paying this light lol.
that said, i'm actually feeling NL50 pretty soon. might give it a real shot by the end of the year...

UTG is the reg, SB is the fish. keep that in mind...

i'm not sure how tilted the reg was, but the fish was fucking furious about his flush getting owned. i got some chat action worthy of reg tables:

poker isn't dead yet, apparently. who could have thought?

In the last hand i never shove the turn. AXs (with backdoor on the flop) are SO MUCH in his range that i let him bet. If he checks back we can always shove the river.

Who says anything else?

i'll cut the month early, since it's unlikely i'll be playing tomorrow.

graph:

i had time to play more, but it's hard to get back in the groove after i had to quit for a bit.
it's fine, life is good. not playing too well, of course...

BTN big nit (14/9), CO feels like some weaker reg but not sure.
i am actually still not sure which sizings are best. i tend to bet a lot and size small on mono boards in general...
once we get raised, i think CO is mostly folding anyway and BTN nit literally always has a hand, so i just get it in. (to be honest, the thought process was probably more along the lines of "fuck you all")

these moments are why i still love poker.
