thx daven, all great suggestions that i have considered time and time again

the solution for me seems to be to just play extra taggy and let the money come my way.

played 2.5 hrs of cash and despite - as usual - a couple annoying hands, managed to make about 160 6-tabling PLO and NL 100.

Today's "annoyance" occured in 2 hands vs the same opponent.

No stats on villain but he appears to be very aggro preflop and has barrelled quite a bit.

Normally I wouldn't float then raise (I'd just raise the flop if i intended to continue) but vs this guy I wanted to let him bluff the turn and have some equity if he flatted a hand like JJ going to the river. Sure I can "never" have a big hand when i flat oop on this board...

Sooo I end up looking like a tard.

The fun part is adjusting. I can't have a hand after flatting on a board like that, right?

sigh. at least the plan worked until he binked the river...

Down about 160 in tourney buyins but still alive in two of them so kind of freerolling on the day. Gogo gadget donkarungood.
