No hand history...I still havent figured out how you guys post them. I'll ask that in another thread......

So I sit down at a .10/.20 on Royal Vegas. I only have time for a few hands.

2nd hand in.............On SB with 9 10 off.

5 limpers to me and I complete.

Sitting there thinking wouldn't it be nice to flop 6 7 8 rainbow.

Flop comes...6 7 8 rainbow.

I check hoping to get some action. Pot is only about 1.20. Person to my left overbets the pot for $5. Person next to him goes all in for his remaining $4. I could not belive me eyes.

As I hit the call button, I am praying the board does not pair.

Next card is a K still rainbow.

Down to BB, All in guy and me.

BB bets another $5. I call.

River is a blank.....the board did not pair.

I look at his stack and all thats left is $1.85. I bet that and he calls.

I know I have the nuts...................$20 some odd dollar pot on 2nd hand when I sat down with $20.

So what did they play?

Any guesses?

I'll post it in white.

Pocket 8's and Pocket 6's gotta love it!

I immediately got up and left the table as my wife came walking in right at that moment.

way too go you rox at poker...just remembert that 9/45 times that they will hit bullshit and beat you so what I am saying to you is that just be prepared for the most odd shit you have ever seen cause if it is possible, it will happend especially at bars, parties and low limit holdem

Pud,

I hear ya.......I just kept praying the board didn't pair cause I knew I was up against set over set.nothing else explained the action I was getting. I have been enjoying a good run, where when the chips go in I have the best hand and I have been avoiding the nightmare card hitting the board.....I know there are some bad beats on the horizon.

On Royal, my $10 free opener is now up to $78. Now that's a pretty darn good run. I have only really been tooling around with it for the last month or so.

I was going to move up to .25/.50, but I think I am going to hang around the .10/.20 for a little while longer.....maybe $100 or so.

I got to $101 on Royal Vegas and then playing the 10c/20c tables I lost 5 hands worth about $15 each to AA every time... I guess Royal Vegas didnt like me...

it almost makes you wonder of those "online is rigged" folks are on to something.

I think its more likely that as our Br's grow so does our aggressiveness which leads to more volatility. I am trying to play the same way now as I did @ $10. Slow and steady.

If my Stack gets up in the $30's I leave the table cause when I have a big stack I tend to get reckless. Something about hovering around the $20 buy in which helps me to stay within myself and play good values only.

I am definately finding that some of my tournament techniques work well in a ring game, but in general you need to be tight as a mosquitoes ass and play your hands fast unless you have the nuts.
