NLO8/b Game, Bottom Trips

[Phat Mack]

When posting NL hands, it's a good idea to post bet sizes and stack sizes. It's hard to know what's going on without them.

I don't like your starting hand much. You flop a set, but low makes and there are two hearts. What's more, any A2xx's currently have nut low. I don't like little sets in NLO8 unless I have something else working. My question is: if you're going to play this hand, and then hit the flop with it, why not just shove your stack in on the flop?

Okay, here we go...I call pre-flop, hoping that someone will raise so I can re-raise them in a show that I am strong.

Raise it to 150 on the flop, representing a strong flush draw or nut low, when in reality I had bottom trips and no low.

Turn, I bet another 150.

River, I moved in, hoping to bully these players out, seeing as they were just smooth-calling. Turns out that I had the winning high hand, and there was no low.

Play K533 utg *hoping* to get a lot of chips in the pot out-of-position against a player showing strength? Sounds good so far.

Yeah. I play poker like I screw - aggressively and some people think it's weird, but I end up doing good in the end.

This is funny, because I was thinking something similar... I play poker like I screw - jam all-in every hand w/out any consideration for the opponent, and end up quickly busting out and feeling ashamed.

This thread is hurting my eyes.
