*EDIT* I compiled this in notepad and screwed up the line breaks. Apologies. I'll try to fix it.

I'm going to post a few hands from last night. I didn't play very well in general by my standards.

#1 - No read yet. I find myself calling more lately. I've gone from the ultra-aggressor bomb back to the eagle in PT. It seems like there are a lot of players at Absolute that bet every flop and they seem to be doing quite well. Comments everywhere appreciated.

to get more in on the river, but river card was bad.

#8 - This guy is loose, even for this game. I have him at 85/15 but only 15 hands. Should I bet the

turn here? Less on the river? My thoght process in these situations is usually that I'm more likely to

get him to put it in on the river than to call my turn but I'm probably missing value checking too many

turns.

I'll see some of you kids at NL100 starting in January, although I hope none of you come to Absolute . Thanks for all the help through the year. I don't post enough but I read them all.
