you guys have to explain to me why you were playing these limits.

i'm sure i missed something, but i figure you would play higher...even if it was just for fun.

Yea, we all play much higher than this but I came into Vent last night and Pel said he and Hyper were playing 2nl so I decided to jump in. I also haven't played much lately and wanted to LAGG it up (which I did running like 35/25) and see how that would go against 2 solid players. There were both playing normally (Pel a bit looser) so it was a good experiment to see. It obv paid off twice against Hyper b/c my image was shat. It was also a very good time.

I didn't run HUD or save my HH's but there were a couple hilarious spots. PS's game is a 250bb buyin and one fish (not Hyper this time) stacked off to me about 300bb deep with just TT as an overpair on the flop in a 3bet pot. I had 4s5s on a 5h6s8s board and that was the best possible spot he couldve been in and he called a huge 3bet shove and he was still a 3:2 dog. I figure I could run 25ptbb/100 at that game over a large sample in that game.

when you're playing for bragging rights vs good players, stakes don't matter. sitting with 2 other good TAGs in a shorthanded table is already bad table selection, even with the 3 other crappy players. especially when both of them sit on your left (DAMN YOU!!!)
