24 tabled for the first time.
Cascaded obviously at 5nl 😀 for a little over an hour.
Jeuzs they were so bad every set got paid off and I was flopping them at 15% ldo.
The shoves they make when I'm completely dominating them are hilarous.
Easiest $25 I ever made.
 
the title needs to have a long cool word which instantly makes the thread cooler. I.E. narcotics and juxtaposed were easily the 2 coolest threads.

May as well post before February expires. I haven't been playing a lot of NL cash this month but here's a hand that went down nicely. Villian had just 3-bet preflop twice in a row and I thought he could be doing so light. Thought about shoving preflop but decided to just call and see a flop instead. Non-threatening flop = money went in.

$25 NLHE 6 max:

Stacks:
SB with $19.75
BB with $17.55
UTG with $49.38
MP (hero) with $28.32
BTN with $21.15

Dealt to MP:Q♦ Q♣

Preflop:
UTG raises [$0.85 USD] Hero raises [$3.20 USD]
3 players fold.
UTG raises [$9.10 USD] Hero calls [$6.75 USD]
Potsize: $19.4
Flop: 9♠ 2♥ 9♣
UTG bets [$20.25 USD] Hero calls [$18.37 USD]
Potsize: $58.02
Turn: 3♥
River: J♦
UTG shows : 6♥ 6♦
Hero shows : Q♦ Q♣ Hero wins $54.17 USD from main pot

I've been playing a good bit of badugi and was on a tear during January, but February has leveled out. Also experimenting with being more aggressive in limit hold 'em games. I've been playing the steps SNGs at UB and am currently on Step 5, hoping not to get knocked back down.

Some suggested adjectives for the March thread:

Monstrous
Mushrooming
Maniacal
Mellifluous

 
I run pretty bad, I didnt put the villian in the 2nd hand on a flopped flush, kind of a cooler imo.

Wow, yeah, I'll second that! Sucks to be 5-bet by QT preflop (joy) then lose to a rivered set (ouch).

yeah lol, it was painful, i had him trapped perfectly... 🙁
 
And for accuracy's sake I suppose it would be rivered trips (not a set) since only one on the queens was in his hand.

Sucks either way....
 
i like megalomaniac/megalomania. not sure about madness though since it evokes the college basketball tournament that will be going on at the same time

omfg i lol'd

Shotgun not making the thread, I came up with narcotics for november (thats right i invented the word specifically for that purpose) so don't have to make 1 ever again
 
Flopped 11 sets today over 2200 hands. Lost $300 overall with them. 😱

Highlights were set over set twice and getting it in on turn versus two pairs who suck out on river. Still managed to finish the day break evenish and i'm actually really happy about the way i played. The rest is just payback for running really hot this month, i guess. 🙂

ok definitely decided I'm gonna play 100k+ hands without a prop bet in March (if I didn't 6-table some at UB I'd probably stick closer to 120k-150k). Gonna try to play about 4 hours/day and also make sure I get over to the gym a few times a week. At the end of the month I'm not only gonna be rich but I'm gonna be benching inscore while he's benching his 250 or w/e he benches.
 
according to tableratings' new bot rating, i'm very unlikely to be a poker bot! yay!
