I think the math on the first hand after the turn is you're about a 20 to 1 favorite to win this pot, that's the kind of spot you want to be in!
drmcboy.....

1) I think my first post may have been a little misleading. I've been playing online for about 6 months, but only the past couple of months more active. I had my BR up to $1200 (initial $200 deposit and a small bonus). Dropped close to $300 over past 10 days. Definitely still trying to learn more every day.

2) Yep....I had it about 20 to 1 as well. He had 2 outs and caught it on the river. I commted to him that I was surprised he called and he said he figured...."what the hell, he had a pair of sixes and may get lucky."

Wanted to stress that this has happened a lot and was wondering if others have seen this same trend on 25NL lately.
