Why do I still do stuff like this?

i've completely cut out this type of creative spewing in the past 20k hands or so. I wonder if this type of weird crap is good enough for my shania that I should do it every so often...but you can definitely pick better boards/hands to do it though, limit yourself to multiple backdoors + overs, or gutshot+1over at minimum and these have a little more weight behind them in terms of making $.

This whole thing looks like spewing, call flop, c/f turn. If you feel you need to give more action wait until you have bd draws or some paint on the board to work with.

Surf,

How sure are you that calling the flop is good here, considering it's really hard to know how clean our outs are?

At a live game I might ask the dealer something like "how many bets does it go up to here?" before 3 betting. Every time I check out some casino that line buys like 50% folding equity. If I'm Button in this hand I'm calling your 3 bet with, like, ace high [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

thanks for the responses guys. I didnt like the way I played this hand, and as soon as it was over went "that was dumb". I still find msyelf doing this to often, and on occasion they actually do fold (who knows what tho) and I think it feeds my inner maniac desire to do stupid things I know I shouldnt. So I like to get reasurance that, indeed, its dumb
