some 3/6 hands

Even a NL donk like Fnord could make money at these tables. This is a typical slow Monday night at PS.

Comments welcome. I probably missed half a dozen bets by not believing my opponents could be so stupid.

1) MP is something like 70/14/0.5, rarely aggressive, but without fail aggressive in the wrong places. SB never folds a pair. Ever.

4) BB is actually one of the 'better' players. For some reason my river donk doesn't make him stop and think with his top two.

Since when are these LHE games at PS so donktacular? I played some 2/4 and 3/6 there ~2 years ago and they were fairly tight/aggressive.

Limit's back baby!

Actually it's funny because 3/6 always seemed really Taggy up until about six months ago. But now there always seem to be three or four good 3/6 games going on and one or two 5/10. Once in a while there's a good 10/20 game too.

My mind has been blown. If I had any decent way of getting more cash on stars (I think I only have like $300 at the moment) I would probably try it out again..

i am surprised YOU took the turn off in hand 3.

and, isnt hand 4 a bit loose, even as bad as they seemed?

1 and 2 have to be standard.

and, i agree that limit is back. i think the fish are getting sick of losing money so fast at NL, but dont want to quit. so, they load up a limit table and lose it all slower where they can fill their "fix" with bursts of variance heaters.

kind of like smashing a 300 yd drive down the middle on the 18th hole. that has a funny way of making you want to play 36. (live golf is so rigged)

Gave him too much credit on 3. A sensible player might realise he's behind when he's 3bet on an AJT board and he has KK. When he caps me I put him on AA, AJ, AT, or KQ. I'm behind more than half of those, so I don't relish getting 3bet on the turn. Once the 6 pairs on the river I'm only behind AA. I could lead out but villian is aggressive enough to bet/call pretty much anything here so I go for the c/r.

On 4, any 7 or J gives me a straight so I'm willing to put in as many bets on the flop as needed.

my bad. i missed the double gutter. who's the donkey now?
