I did good paw, I did good.

I've been posting some shitty hands of mine recently. Tonight I played 2 tables at once, which really made me quite a bit more tight. I think it ended up paying off though, as I've done the best I've done over the past week and a half. I just thought I would post these hands I won, because I read somewhere on here that we should post some hands we did GOOD on to increase our confidence.

Don't let that stop you from critiquing them though.

And yes, neither of these hands were amazing plays or anything, but I'm not an amazing player so that's ok.

mcpeepants: I like the avatar, however, it was used ages ago.

I like alizee, so I say find another alizee avatar and use it.

Otherwise, I have no problem with it, just that I wont give you credit for finding it (although she is reallly hot).

...If you watch her music video online, you can see that some girls in the bars didnt shave......

I hate: French Women. (except Alizee)

Damnit man, I just got it like 30 minutes before your post. I have no problems with you not crediting me for finding it. Because, although I did find it, I wasn't the first to. But, I'm sure the guy that used it here wasn't the first to find it either. The only person that should really get props is the one who made it. I'll keep my eyes open for another avatar though, if it really bothers you.

Both of those hands are fine examples of the earlier mentioned Microlimit Rule:

Your opponent has an Ace.

Whenever I doubt whether or not he has an ace, I just glance up at my post it note and nod.
