Joey, its a different game in some ways but the same in others. sure the average bet is way bigger but people tend to make bigger mistakes in the long run.

if you stick with it, and dont get down on yoruself, im sure you'll be a good nl player.

Given that I am probably getting outplayed every time I am in this spot I don't think this is out of the question.

[psuasskicker]

What the hell, am I actually supposed to be putting insightful and meaningful responses behind first day poker 101 questions in a mid-high forum? I would expect a question about folding PF in a low stakes forum, but why should I type out why folding a mid-pp for a 3x raise with 22.5x behind it is a mistake here?

I suppose you've NEVER given a short, contrite response to such types of questions before?

huh? wasn't he laughing at indiana?

In case it wasn't clear, yes I was laughing at indiana's question (not at indiana himself). Laughing at tpir would be stupid and hypocritical as if I and every other poker player hadn't been where he's at right now at some point in our playing "careers".

I'm not advocating a fold preflop for every player. Just, perhaps, for this guy. If hitting a set is the only way that you continue on here then you don't have the post flop balls to be getting into heads up pots with 99 for a $40 call before the flop right?
