    i honestly don't know. it would be a tough decision.

    according to PT3 i'm 10bi below EV so far this month (~9k hands) and that doesn't even take into account the times when things like this happen, and my money actually goes "all-in" bad:

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) - PokerStars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
    Hero (UTG+1) ($125)
    MP1 ($98.20)
    MP2 ($133.45)
    CO ($50)
    Button ($126)
    SB ($125)
    BB ($179.80)
    UTG ($185.55)
    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J, J
    1 fold, Hero bets $2, MP1 raises to $5.50, 5 folds, Hero calls $3.50
    Flop: ($12.55) 5, J, 2 (2 players)
    Hero checks, MP1 bets $6.50, Hero raises to $19, MP1 calls $12.50
    Turn: ($50.55) 10 (2 players)
    Hero bets $23, MP1 calls $23
    River: ($96.55) Q (2 players)
    Hero bets $60, MP1 calls $50.60 (All-In)
    Total pot: $197.75 | Rake: $3
    Results:
    Hero had J, J (three of a kind, Jacks).
    MP1 had Q, Q (three of a kind, Queens).
    Outcome: MP1 won $194.75

    my respect for people who are able to play headsup (especially HU PLO) or any other extremely high variance game and stay remotely sane is currently going through the roof. in a weird way, this has motivated me to want to put more hours into developing my poker game and made me really determined to study my opponents' strategies and basically try to learn to beat the shit out of them. let's hope that happens. for now i'm going to go to a local pub, get drunk, and enjoy some live blues music. what better way to spend a sunday afternoon?

    gl on da grind
