My favorite hand from the 2+2 table tonight

milesdyson · #1 04-18-2005, 03:26 AM

Yes preflop is meh, but IIRC, MP3 is being donkish with his raising. It's still loose I admit, but I love these hands at this table. Both villains are 2+2ers here.

That was my favorite too. I was almost 100% positive you were going for a river cr, so I don't know why I bet.

I realise this a 2p2 table and people are playing like donks, but does anyone else not like MP3's overcall on the end? Is there any way he is good there 1/15?

I think you pretty much have to bet, but calling the raise is usually wrong because you know I know you have the A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I don't really fault you for calling, though. One bet in large pot, yadda yadda.

His overcall was terrible, but to his credit, I don't think he was trying to play his best game.

Oh, I wasn't trying to disparage anyone, just I am trying to get back into limit and therefore am trying to ask questions where things don't make sense to me on here. I truly understand how these games go having participated in plenty of NL 2p2 affairs. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

2+2 tables are teaching me how much more I have to learn about poker. They are by far the toughest tables I play at. If it was any higher the .5/1 I probably couldn't afford it at this point.

Here's another good one... one of the most multiway of the night.

Entity is BB. Stuey is MP3 and is lagging.
