Its 356AM I'm in a dapper mood listening to a little Lloyd Banks playing two 100-200 4-handed games on pokerstars brings me back to about a year ago, when the 100-200 on pokerstars game was populated with more fishy play then you see these days.
Here is a hand from the game:
Seat 9: -db- ($3490 in chips)
Seat 10: youngluck ($2166 in chips)
AmazingGrace: posts small blind $50
ns6991: posts big blind $100
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to chickenlittl [Qs Ah]
-db-: folds
youngluck: folds
chickenlittl: raises $100 to $200
gollfbum: folds
-db- leaves the table
AmazingGrace: folds
ns6991: calls $100
*** FLOP *** [9c Qd 6d]
ns6991: checks
chickenlittl: bets $100
ns6991: calls $100
*** TURN *** [9c Qd 6d] [8s]
ns6991: checks
chickenlittl: bets $200
ns6991: raises $200 to $400
chickenlittl: calls $200
*** RIVER *** [9c Qd 6d 8s] [8c]
ns6991: bets $200
chickenlittl: calls $200
*** SHOW DOWN ***
ns6991: shows [7d 4d] (a pair of Eights)
chickenlittl: shows [Qs Ah] (two pair, Queens and Eights)
chickenlittl collected $1847 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $1850 | Rake $3
Board [9c Qd 6d 8s 8c]
Seat 1: chickenlittl showed [Qs Ah] and won ($1847) with two pair,
Queens and Eights
Seat 5: gollfbum (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 6: AmazingGrace (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 8: ns6991 (big blind) showed [7d 4d] and lost with a pair of
Eights
Its tempting in this hand threebet the turn but I prefer just calling because if the opponent is bluffing he will likely continue to bluff through the river. Also if you were to threebet turn and then he fourbets now you have to consider laying the hand down and thats never a fun decision to lay down top pair top kicker headsup.
This next hand shows why I play the 100-200 game on PS:

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $2850 | Rake $2
Board [9d 8c 5h 7s 3h]
Seat 3: chickenlittl (button) folded on the Flop
Seat 4: youngluck (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 5: ns6991 (big blind) showed [2d 6d] and won ($2848) with a

Seat 6: gollfbum folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 10: The Grinder mucked [Ad 8h]
Guy cold caps it with 26dd in 100-200 i fold the flop and he makes a gut shot straight and wins a $2800 pot, yum yum!
