I really hate slow-playing, but think I played this too aggressively and cost myself some bets.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 6

, 6

EDIT: here's another... this is your typical "no fold'em hold'em" hand

The turn card scared me a bit here with AK being a good possibility from one of these villains so I just called hoping for the board to pair on the river. You wouldn't believe what these the two callers had (I'll keep it to myself for now).

one....nah, you're just bitter you didnt get paid off....lol. i play the same way, and wonder the same thing.

two... RAISE THE TURN! you have a giant pot and a very strong hand that demands valuebetting. besides, raising makes it 11:1 for anyone to call so its not like they are folding. get it in now. worry about the river if it doesnt pair, but likely you are raising/3betting/crying capping it, too. stop playing a Chopper-like hand.

LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

KoRnholio will become famous soon enough

Hand 2 keep your foot on the gas until you get 3bet. UTG+2 only shows up with broadway if he has exactly AhKh (as he capped the flop). He probably has AA or JJ.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
