Tell me I'm a pansy

[awval999]

I need to work on my aggression after moving up to 2/4. At 1/2 I feel like I have more aggression but since the stakes are doubled at 2/4 I feel like I'm cold calling and just calling instead of raising.

I also curl up when someone raises any of my bets.

Tell me that both these hands could have easily been improved if I just raised the damn flop.

I think I found my big 2/4 leak, tell me what you think.

YOU R A PANSY!!!

....and now i'll go look at the hands [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

ya man, maybe those weren't bad folds if you had a good read on the other person. With no reads, I would stay in those hands, but limit hold 'em is very read and tendency dependent.

Hand one just hurts.

How the %$/&amp; can you fold TP there?

[awval999]

Because im a ^#&amp;$*@$ pansy. I know if I just raised that damn flop Q/Q would fold, but noooo-- I kept thinking of A/K. Then that river K hit and the PF 3-Better checked and I'm like that *!@#$@ has QQ.

So a flop raise in both of those hands would be +EV correct?

[@bsolute_luck]

puke, barf, and hurl!

hand #1: reraise that junk on the flop, then the turn you can make a better decision.

hand #2: ummm...not sure exactly without reads. i think i'd have called down.

[i wanna be me]

hand 1 is terrible
hand 2 isn't as bad - i'd probably raise the flop and see what MP3 does (he's probably got AK or JJ)

Why you guys aren't crushing these Microlimit games...
