I'd normally fold after my second reraise on the flop (if not the first) but had notes on the guy that he was pretty loose..

In any case, my call of his re-raise all-in was very bad.. I felt I was pot commited though and still had a decent chance of having the best hand or splitting.

I actually should have folded on the flop after his first reraise though.. even if he was loose...

Thoughts?

Convert the hand?

No offence intended but it just annoys me and most of the time I just won't read the hand.

Ya, can you please fucking convert the hand.

I guess I'm the only one who actually prefers the original HH to the converted ones...

The converted HH is much easier to read which is why it is generally preferred. I'd comment on the hand, but I'm a micro-stakes player and I'm probably going broke here, too.

How can you possibly like the non-converted hands better? It takes about 10x as long to read them and you have to keep adding the pot size yourself instead of just reading it off.

And even if you prefer non-converted, apparently this is the rules of the HA forum:

READ THIS BEFORE YOU POST HANDS FOR ANALYSIS!!!

Sorry <3

I guess I'm just much more used to them and can actually read them much faster... it's probably from viewing so many past hands in the Instant Hand History window...

I'm neutral to non-converted hands but it is annoying having to add up the pot yourself.
