I am finding that the tighter I play on the deal, the better I do. I lost 3 times in one session with 3 3's a month back. Once rolled up, twice on 4th street. Huge pots. Twice to larger trips. I found that medium and low str8 draws so often become 2 pair or make the str8 only to lose a big pot. I am trying to simply not play a low pair without an A or K kicker or a matched strflush card. So (3A)3 is ok if the 3's and A's are live. (3d4d)4h is ok too if 4s and diamonds are live. I hate low str8 draws even if the cards are live, I never seem to make the str8. At least a hi str8 draw can make high pair or two.

And playing 4 hands is hard, I now only play 3 (I stopped playing 4 last week). The windows overlap nicely, I make a quick decision, easy easy. Being tight on 3rd str makes it much easier. And then getting out on 5th if it has gone south is easy too. My showdown stat is like 90%, so I think this is good.

I know SO Plainfield pretty well, close by.
