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

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

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?

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?

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.

Ah. I get it now.

Note that sweet W$SD number. Booyah.

Yeah, 3/6 can kiss my ass.
