Message: [QUOTE="Chris_TC, post: 1118285, member: 19538"] After Jagsti mentioned how relaxing it is to play the micros, I played some 1c/2c yesterday. I played 92/80 and lost $21 in like 100 hands. And I didn't find it relaxing at all. The fact that people called my triple barrels with bottom pair right after I had sat down (i.e. with no way of knowing how much of a maniac I am) just tilted me out of my mind. :mad: And I'm not even kidding. The money involved really shouldn't matter to me, but it made so angry how you cannot make them fold anything. So I started making my opening raise sizes anywhere between 20c and 40c. I got action pretty much every time. I was so longing to flop second pair so I could valuetown them to death, but I never flopped anything. Then, when I finally had AA, of course I got called for 30c preflop by one player. But then he folded to my c-bet! Like wtf. C-bet success up until that point had been 18%. I mean wtf. Then I shoved Q5s for $5 (250 big blinds) over someone's preflop raise. He called me with A7o and I sucked out. Yay! This gave me new confidence. Then this happened: I open-raised QTo to $0.40 (20 big blinds) and got called by both blinds. The flop came: 2[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/club.gif[/IMG] 5[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/diamond.gif[/IMG] T[IMG]http://www.stoxpoker.com/hand_history_converter/images/emoticons/club.gif[/IMG] SB checks, BB bets $0.20 into $1.20. I had top pair good kicker, i.e. the nuts, so I raised to $1. Now the SB called and the BB shoved for $3.32. I had not been very aggro postflop (obviously, cause they called everything and I never had anything), so I figured my hand can't be good. I folded, and the SB insta-called it off.

Second pair and third pair, but excellent kickers. After this I concluded that beating these stakes for 90ptBB must be a piece of cake if you play 15/10 and open-raise to 20 big blinds every time. Of course, I wanted to play loose as hell, so I gave up.[/COLOR][/COLOR][B][COLOR=#ffffff][COLOR=black] [/COLOR][/COLOR][/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
