Hey everyone,

Yesterday Johnsears suggested I move from the .02/.04 limit tables to the .01/.02 NL tables. Well, I did. It was soo nightmarish.

Essentially this is what happened: I got a load of lame hands and when I finally got a hand to play, i softplayed it.

I got pocket As! I called (out of position), hoping someone would bet so I could raise . sadly only a few punks called... Flop included an ace and I said to myself "####, if I raise a lot here they'll know I have an ace." So I did min bet.

Flop was AK4 (suits all diff)

I raise 2 cents 2 people called.

Turn 3 I bet 20 cents 2 people called.

River 2 --- I bet 1 dollar someone goes all in I call

So, what do you guys think he had?

Yup, you guessed it...

5h6h! I fall off my chair and go to sleep .

How badly did I misplay this hand? I've changed my style today and gone for more betting, less soft play...

Today was a better day though. Not only did I make up my losses from yesterday, but I went ahead! Just played ABC poker and stole the blinds on occasion (with real junk).... Then when I steal em I show my hand for fun ...

Cheers,

Mike

That happens at the pennies because they'll follow with anything. In the long run, you'll take their money.
