Ok Bad beat story 1st. I get 55 on the button 3 call and i call. It's a routine 10/20 game with some weak spots and people who play any 2 in the blind or late position. Flop comes 10 5 2. No flush draw. Checked to me and i bet. The small blind check raies all fold excep a middle position cold caller. I 3 bet and all call. The turn is the 9 completing the rainbow. Checked to me and i bet, and get check raised by the blind again. Middle positon cold calls 2 and i 3 bet all call. the river is another 9. Small blind bets out I am pretty sure he has 109 and i just got runner runner rivered now middle position raises. I figure maybe flopped set of 2's or something. Anyway i give a crying call sb 3bets and all call. BOTH PLAYERS HAD 109. The only way they could win is if 2 of the 3 10's and 9's hit in the next 2 cards. 1 10 left in the deck and 2 9's and two of them needed to hit. LOL Anyway it's gotta be close to 1,000 to 1 or something.
Now for my preflop changes.
B4 early position
KJ offsuit limp, AJ offusit limp (sometimes raise) kq limp mostly. AQ raise almost always.
I'm considering tossing aj offsuit from early position and maybe kq offsuit and kj offsuit definately. I've been giving more thought to limping with aq because it will keep the weak aces in who will pay off better and isn't that much better than opponents hands. I think I'm also gonna start folding aq offsuit to an early position raise from a solid player as well as aj suited and kq suited which I frequently called b4. All suggestions welcome. I'll let u know how it goes after some time.
