    Yeah, possible to find bad players there, and tempting to sit down now and then, it's just the variance is crazy, loosing 5k in a hand sucks!

    He's still there and lost this hand. The only hand that makes sense here for him to have is AJ.

    trying to live
    if you see the game is good, take a shot. you dont need 20 buyins just to take a shot. just set yourself a limit on how much you feel like losing because if it works out you can be in for a big payday.

    Someone explain this strat to me? I'm assuming you mean 7v$ip/5pfr which would be like 22/AK+ or something? Would playing that nitty work at lower stakes in an agressive game?
    She looked at me and said youz a baby right?
    I told her, I'm 18 and live a crazy life
    Plus I'll tell you what the 80's like
    And I know what ladies like
