That was a fun session. Thanks Fnord for posting some of the more interesting hands. That first hand I had T6 I believe, paired the 6 on the turn.

Yeah I was definitely confused. Limit is just a lot different game.. I'm going to try and start mixing it in though, and any time I can sit down at a table with some of the all-time greats (fnord, mike, and golfer), I'm going to take that opportunity.

When did .50/1 become a microlimit? A $1 BB can be quite substantial to some of us bankroll guppies. :P

I know some sites have $5 max .05/.10 NL. Now that's a micro limit game to exploit. I double up every time I play that game. Until people get hip to the scheme.

Poker Stars has super micro limits. .01/.02 nl .02/.04 limit

But on party thats just the lowest limit they have.

Looks like I missed all the fun. I played ~200 hands on party 50¢/$1 last night, two tables. I watched some idiot catch hand after hand, and make $45 in 25 hands (according to poker tracker), I only made 23 on my 200 hands though.

Those pokerstars 5¢/10¢ NL tables are a blast, I like to play one or two while playing an SnG. If you cant make money on there, you need to read this forum more often.
Is that guy still part of the forum??

Well, I was all set to use the 2+2 converter for the first time.. Copy/Pasted all the hands I wanted into a text file, pasted those into the converter, pressed the button... and the dumb thing tells me I have to use the e-mailed hand histories instead of the ones stored locally.

Well, I'm not about to do that, so we'll just have to settle for the crummy PP hand history format.

Comments welcome:

Not the best flop for TT:

Almost embarrased to post this. I think I was going to bluff on the turn but chickened out. Just ignore this hand:
