Completing the SB a little too much there..post some hands

Re: So I decide to take a shot at NL25
 

This game is a 2/5 blind structure, correct? Def should be folding SB more often.

I'm pretty sure I have enough implied odds to call with any hand pre-flop.

Don't slowplay so much

And, why are you raising pre-flop with 96s?

I don't like the all-in with the nine-high flush. Bet, to be sure, but I think that hands like [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q and [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 are going to give you trouble. When you shove all that money in, the only ones that are going to call are folks with bigger flushes, big flush draws, and trips.

And, why are you raising pre-flop with 96s?

why is it a problem that people will call off all their money with bigger flush draws and trips in this situation?

I'll take the flush, you can have trips and we'll do the flop push situation a few hundred times ok? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: So I decide to take a shot at NL25
 

Actually, you're right, scratch that. Pushing is right on the flop. I still don't like the pre-flop play, though.

Dang it, you had to quote me, too. Now my dopeyness is going to be up there forever [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Seriously, you are a favorite against the big draw and the set. If you can go all in and get called, then you ought to do it.

The board isn't exactly the same in these as the one in your post, but the numbers come out pretty much the same.

The ironic thing is, I'm up 80 BB tonight in the NL 25 game.

Good god I'd kill myself if I ever lost $200 @ $25nl let alone in 121 hands.
