Pushing too many marginal edges.

[CaptainCrunch]

This is me playing like an ass, because I've seen too many players showdown with crap. This is me reacting in the wrong direction as my downswing begins its 3rd month.


UTG is 81/1.75/.3 over 80 hands or so.
Button is 57/9/.74 over the same amount.
