Crushing $2/$4

[Roland]

So, I’m on a huge downswing right now and decided to move down to $2/$4 for a while. It’s not bad, actually - you get to do ballsy stuff like this. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
In hindsight, I think I should have bet 5th. Since I didn’t, I probably should have raised 6th right away. But what the hell - this worked too.

I don't think i've ever raised the river with just one pair for value... maybe thats my leak [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I would check on fifth about 0% of the time. I can see raising on sixth rather than seventh. I don't really like the river raise. You might well have gotten out a better hand, but I just don't think it's that likely that your hand is good.
