I had 97 there btw, came so close to calling but after the last few pots where you slowplayed huge hands (like that KK one) I didn't think you were going to bluff raise there and obviously I beat nothing that does it for value.

Well, i might have lost more value on the KK hand than i gained on this one, tbh.

But i do think you can't profitably steal 100% from SB when i'm in BB.

I tried playing some omaha STT, for a chillaxing session, never ever ever play the turbo format of that, swongaments galore i imagine. Sick to think that someone on SS can maintain a 22% roi in them, that is ridiculous

Because 1c/2c Omaha Hi is the devil I imagine.
5c/10c can't be much better though..

because im involved in a prop where i have to make 2K playing plo from now till the end of the year. I cant play at a stake if i dont have 40 buy-ins and for the sack of the bet i was left with 75$ in my ftp account. I believe i can make more money faster if i shortstack at a higher stake, the only downside to this is the swings but im getting accustom to them.

So yea, thats why im shortstacking

brag: i'm 71st in my affiliate's monthly rake-race on full tilt, poised to win a cool $100 :cool:

I don't think I like the PF cold call on his limp 3-bet..even if he is bad. What are you doing on Axx, J10x, Qxx boards?

sick, just dropped out of uni for the year and starting fresh on a new course in september, that = a LOT of free time to rake in teh dough

WOW, this makes me sad :(. Takes me back to when my lad told me in August that he had packed in his course!

Hope you get yourself sorted m8. Stop playing poker and concentrate.... or even better.... play poker, win, and concentrate on studies :p

Or, play more poker and win so much you don't have to go back to Uni. Optimal line, imo.

Shortstackers should all get a chronic disease and die very very slowly, of blinds !
