    Default Nuts n Bolts

    This is the kind of spot that imo separates the marginal winners from the breakeven players from the big winners. Most posts are about huge pots with huge hands. Those situations have a way of taking care of themselves over time. This is the kind of hand that makes or breaks most sessions without you even noticing it.

    I am playing slaggy as usual and have been tangling with villain. I have been mixing it up quite a lot (not always c betting top pair, not always raising monsters on flop etc…). Villain is as well. I just folded AQ after punishing from SB when villain limp-reraised from CO.
    He seems reasonably aware (but def not "standard" anything...). Not sure if he’s capable of 3rd-levelling me or anything… Not sure what calling here will accomplish, besides the info. Of course my hand might be good...

    Your place or my place
    $15 pot, $20 bet, first glance says he's got you beat. The classic "I'm overbetting because youll think im bluffing" Now if he's 3rd leveling you, uh, suck it.
    <Staxalax> Honestly, #flopturnriver is the one thing that has improved my game the most.

    this is the theme in alot of hands from today. someone under reps their hand and then has a chance to pick off a bluff. its a call.
