check/raise and put no more money in the pot, if you want a chance to win it. [/ QUOTE ] I don't dislike this idea.... but what happened to pot control? Unloading money OOP with a fairly weak hand does not feel right. In fact, none of my options feel right here... which is why I defaulted to pussy-ville.

Re: My last NL post for a while
I'm only gonna say this one more time: fold preflop. When this guy comes in before the flop you have to think that he may have a higher pair than u. Thus, you can (in good conscience) continue on with a set. 7/8 times u miss a set and lose around 250 or so. That one time that u do hit your set do you get a 250 profit from this guy? If he's good then he will prolly pay you at most 250 when u hit.

[/ QUOTE ] obviously your instincts were off so i think you did the right thing, get up grab a bite to eat, get a nap and refresh. sometimes its just not working for ya. come back later when you feel better about the situation. many top players have said that they can tell you when they are going to lose before they ever do b/c its a feel thing. get your mind right and go back and play your A game.

Re: My last NL post for a while
Of course, the problem with the c/r here is that it is basically a bluff, and there is no way to get to showdown with the best hand (vs. any thnking opponent anyway)
However, if PFR is very likely to fire out a continuation bet, this move works often enough that it is definately +EV. Of course this is an "any two card" kind of play. Also, when you check/fold for the rest of the hand, it gives you good Shania for future flop check/raises.

I like being the one driving the betting and forcing the decisions... and when people put me to a decision.... well, then I have a chance to screw something up and get outplayed one way or the other. I guess part of this comes from running bad and making the "wrong" decisions even though they may be good in the long run. And now I am all backwards. Maybe I will pound down a few gin and tonics before I play to get over this fear that has popped up. Nothing like treating one vice with another [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] -tpir
