    Default This is just too thin right?

    $0.25/$0.5 No Limit Holdem

    Converted at weaktight.com

    CO Iamo ($72.85)

    Final Pot: $100.15



    His vpip and pfr werent bad, something like 30/10 from memory, but he had like 16 aggression factor, and had donk PSB every single hand I've seen a flop with him. I finally decided to just pick a hand and go with it.

    In review I'm not such a fan. I dunno, I hate waiting for the nuts v's guys like these, but this is pretty friggen marginal...

    I would just pop him on the flop. I'd rather have a hand that beats more of his range for this line. You also don't know what his turn + river bets mean.

    I think he caught up on the turn and ginned the river.

    I think I agree. With a stronger hand maybe letting him hang himself is better, but with one this vulnerable just take it on the flop.

    Nah, I won the hand, but on review I think it was bad anyway.

    I think once you called that turn, you should call the river. The river is a reasonably good card for you there. But i probably fold turn.

    Full Tilt or some other site with a bet pot button?

    I think those things should be fucking banned.

    Everest, and yeah bet pot button. I hated it when I moved to FT, made reading players SO much harder when you're not sure if they just prefer pressing buttons.

    On Tony Romo's nuts
    Waiting for the nuts is one thing, I think we can wait for tpgk though. Don't get to competitive. You see a guy with an obvious leak then just wait for spots to exploit it. I don't think this is a good spot at all.

    Thank you. Bad players don't need a leg up that they didn't earn in any sense. If they want to auto-bet the pot, they need to move to pot limit and just click that slider bar all the way to the right. These same donks would be horribly over- and under-betting the pot all the time if that "bet pot" button wasn't so easy to click on.
