lol! wanna do it again? BE MY GUEST!

In related news, I've heard many times how we shouldn't get so excited about TP hands -- even pretty ones -- but I'm just not finding folds, and I keep seeing villains trying to put plays on me, and I keep seeing people show down A6o in MP ($25 and $50NL).

Am I cruisin' for a bruisin'?

Ne questions, the foot?

"The Foot" would be LeFoutre
...oh wait ..
O Seigneur Dieu! ..je ne voudrais
prononcer ces mots devant les seigneurs de France
pour tout le monde

The question (rather, topic) is:

In related news, I've heard many times how we shouldn't get so excited about TP hands -- even pretty ones -- but I'm just not finding folds, and I keep seeing villains trying to put plays on me, and I keep seeing people show down A6o in MP ($25 and $50NL).

In general, more people will stack off to you with Ax to AK on A high flop at lower lmits.

One thing that helped me was I'd always write down how my opponent played a flop set in the little not things at the site, I rarely write anything else down in the notes, but I always did that...

aye... what's surprising me is that they're stacking off by pushing rather than calling. Has the skill/experience level increased a lot in here? Looks like they're aware that there are a lot of "laydown specialists" around these days.

[Miffed22001]

these guys think calling with a big ace in or out of position or with a big pp for that matter is the way to make money.

If you can adapt they oh so pwnable, ofc outkicking them helps too.
