Re: Justin - seriously...
 
Well, I realize my post got really verbose. The main idea I was trying to open up for discussion was how to look for signs in multiway pots that big pairs are no good on the flop vs. in heads up pots when someone is trying to represent the board. These two situations often feel the same but are completely different. Often one may wind up calling all the way with a beaten hand or folding a winning hand. I'm not saying I have all the answers, I most definitely dont. I dont think I advocated any "weak tight" advice- I may have written it slightly wrong. I dont advocate folding JJ or QQ preflop or playing weak tight. In fact, I was trying to push the idea that no matter how scary the board may be sometimes you just have to call and sometimes the board may look really not threatening but you might want to get away from your hand.

But often when playing big pairs, when I dont flop a set, I am constantly asking myself whether I still think my hand is best, and many players will try to convince me otherwise. Some are bluffing, some are semi-bluffing, some have me beaten. Releasing big pairs is tough, and from what I see can be very costly, both when you fold a good hand and when you call all the way with a beaten hand.

I hope this post may help qualify or clarify the first.

CMI realized that statistics is a hobby for nerds, so he went into seclusion after his megarich parents were murdered. He went into some chinese prison when he got caught stealing some VCRs or something, then this dude in a funny looking goatee told him he could be a legend, and CMI perked up at that, then he carried some fruity flower up a mountain, then he got stoned and dreamed of bats, then he beat up people with funny looking triangles on his arms, and he likes black. This other guy doesn't like him anymore, that goofy guy, and this other guy, he's like stoned ALL THE TIME, and he has a horse that maybe breathes fire or something, then like this dude has poker cards and CMI will go and fight him. Next chapter will come in a few hours.

Actually, I was playing soooo damn much poker over the summer that I was just kinda burnt out, and Id rather just muck around in OOT or the trainwreck when I wasnt playing.

When I go back to school (in like a week) I'll probably be back to where I was in June.
