I know this section of the forum is created for brags and beats, but I don't know why you would continue to post in here. The hands are rough....we've all experienced it. Sometimes it's nice to vent, but to actively go through your hh's to find them and post them and relive them can't be good for you.

I wasn't actively going through them. I was saving them off as they were happening.

That's much healthier.

It's time to turn to booze TP.

Not that it would make any difference the way you are running, but …

In hand #3, are you checking the turn with the belief that he will shove with an inferior hand (in which case, you were right )? I’d have pot-sized bet that, since he seems willing to call with just about anything, but I don’t want to give him the chance to see a free river card.

Stop playing headsup sngs. i think they are too shallow and reward monkey aggressive play, which i'm not really a fan of.

A guy hitting a 4 outer after calling 3 bets preflop with complete trash is the most retarded hand you've seen in a while? Must be nice.

As for the HU SNGs, I'm still torn. I know that most people prefer cash, but I'm still not quite convinced. There are pros and cons to both. For me, I think the HU SNGs (not turbos - I'm with you on that) fit my style better.

[sjay2k]

huh? preflop was limped. that's why it's such a retarded hand -- he's putting in 100bbs in a limped pot on a horrible board (and bets 4.5x pot on the flop).

standard 2 outters are too boring

cash ftw

[Talking Poker]

Yes. He (this particular tard) is going to shove that turn probably 90% of the time if I check it (regardless of his cards).
