I think poker is telling me to stick to 2/4

[Boobie Lover]

Standard one outer for the win.

I donate to TP. I thought he might have JQ. Meh, should have just called river.

I'm up 7k playing 2/4, yet only up $500 this month at cash games. HYCHAHCHCAACHCAHAH

[Talking Poker]

Bet the flop on Hand #2.

Be glad I didn't have my chip-reloader set up for Stars yet. That problem has since been fixed.

Then again, you may not have pushed if I had a full stack in front of me.

BTW - I seem to be the exact opposite of you. For 2007, I'm down playing 2/4 (6 max AND HU). I'm up in every other limit I've played. MY February numbers look like this:

Up $1600 total.
Down $800 in 2/4.

WTF?

[GTDawg]

What if he reraised the turn in hand #2?

Is there any way he could get away from the hand...or at least call down instead of stacking himself on the river?

[Talking Poker]

IMO, if he raises the turn, he's still going broke... cause I'm reraising and he's certainly not going to fold. But I don't hate the raise on the river either. There are a few hands I could have had (like QJ) that would pay him off, and only a couple that beat him (55, 77).

That said, a call on the end is probably better.

[Talking Poker]

Ah. I get it now.

Note that sweet W$SD number. Booyah.

Yeah, 3/6 can kiss my ass.
