Default Re: Interesting AQT4ds hand

Joe, don't stop posting hands. But you need to take some of this criticism to heart and it will improve your game. There is a difference between being a mediocre winner and a big winner and the old adage the enemy of the best is the good is very applicable in this. You can't always have an opponent pinned to the wall with a set and the nut flush draw, and if you are not playing excellent hands for 10-20% of your stack and aggressively pushing big equity draw situations then it will be hard to ever be a big winner. And posting hands here is how you will learn to think differently about some of these things.

If part of the problem is that you are trying to hard to reduce your variance in this high variance form of poker because your bankroll can't stand too much, then it would be better to drop down a notch and play more aggressively and be able to enter more profitable situations.

And the rest of us aren't always right either, so your input is very welcome too. Many situations in plo, especially player dependent ones, appear "standard", but are really anything but. That is why it is critical to have an excellent grasp of hand vs. hand equities. So keep posting hands.
