Message: [QUOTE="light65536, post: 829998, member: 23958"] I'm back to $35. I've been playing pretty good. I have noticed that a lot of people are min-raising with pocket aces and they are getting them cracked because they are getting 2 or 3 people in the hand with them. It seems I'm fluctuating between $40 and $20. I feel a lot better being in the 30's even though its more psychological then probably significant. Some of the hands I've lost recently I'm thinking about are heads up I had KJ and I flopped my jack. The other player had pocket queens. I'm not sure that was a bad play heads up to push all in on that one. It was on the flop and he'd have to hit 2 pair or be playing AJ or a bigger pocket pair to be ahead of me. I feel pretty good about that play. In another play, I flopped trips heads up. I put this player as being a 'big bluffer' based on my read (which turned out to be right). So, he raised and then I re-raised. We kept raising and then I realized in this case there was a good chance he had hit the 9 too and my kicker was looking pretty sick like a 5. So, at this point I just called and tried to keep the pot from getting any bigger but on the river he went all in. I felt I had to call and he outkicked me with the King. In this case, I should have just called I'm thinking. I'm also going to have to study up and figure out if there is a way I can protect myself from sets. If I'm in a mutli-way pot then I'm pretty cognizant sets being a danger but heads up/ short handed I've not seen that as much until today. It can be difficult because there is a tendency to think when there is a lot of raising that someone has hit something huge but then you see both players had junk. I don't want to change up my winning plays because I got bit a few times by something off the wall. Like the KJ vs QQ queens play head up, I don't think there was anyway I could avoid that. I love playing flushes and draws. [/QUOTE]
