In the last 5 mins i've been dealt KK twice and AA and all got cracked.
I raised them up both times, and to top it off before that my QQ ran into AA.

i'd just fold those types of hands - now t4 or 72, there's a hand.

Moral to the story... Raise more money. I'd rather take winning the blinds for 1.50 then have them cracked by a psychopath like myself for minus $50...

over 50% of them were capped PF I bet them heavy until the re-raises kicked in on the turn. The last one i suspected i was beat on the river but had to call just in case i was up against junk (I've seen it, more than once) I can take loseing my aces to a better hand but i'm not sure how folding winning aces would effect me . . .
mostly river beats, making a pair trips 4 / 5 to the straight and I think one was 2 measly trash pair 84os or something dumb.
I've just had my share of bad beats for aces in a big chunk I think, I'm just hoping that I'm due a good run of aces winning.

That's what happened with me. Although having my Aces busted so many times gave me a better feel for when they're probably good.
Probably the biggest skill I tuned after my first 500 hand was knowing when to slow down and not be an easy check/raise bitch.

Amended moral to the story... Don't play 2/4 if you don't like No Fold'em Hold'em. 2/4 is built for AA to KK to be destroyed by chasers...

haha, this was mainly .5 / 1 I'm cheap  but I'm winning cheap...
I actually had a pot at .5 / that hit around the $50 mark was capped every round and 3 players made it to the end, with my KT Flopped FH standing up
The games I play are bankrolled orientated, I stick to the 250 - 300 BBs for Limit, 20 buy ins for PL / NL. and 15 - 20 Buy ins for SnGs.
I cashed out some $$ at the W/E to get the sign up bonus at Paradise, but cashed it to my debit card instead of neteller. So my BR is smaller than usual at the PP skin I play at.

Those tables are juicy. Sometimes you can get a table where 7 to a flop is not uncommon.

2/4 is a very mixed bag. It can go from a rock garden to a fish fry and back all in the same session at the same table.
The only close to true "No Fold'em" game I've seen on PP is the .5/1. At higher limits you'll get some loose players that call too much, but no more than 3-4 or so at a table.
