Haven't posted a hand in a while.

Villian is reasonably solid running 25/11/2.1 over 150 hands. Ship or git? I gotta stop playing these things so "tricky" on the flop, though I just wanted to try and define his hand.

Converter is broken for stars?

It's not broken (per say), take out the "USD" in the game title.

What about open folding?

Bam.

But yeah this is pretty bad. Think about how what you're doing affects his range.

ohhh right. Our country is oblivious to such abbreviations.

But seriously, in PT3 I now have '25nl' and '25nl USD' as different stakes

Thanks guys. This just shows me how rusty I am. Looking at it now, the C/R is a horrible play. My thoughts at the moment were very backwards, I wanted him to fold worse and call better. Knowing myself though, I might've had a tougher time letting go of this had I lead out and got raised.

When you only play 1-2 times a month, you really get out of the groove.

The problem with rockets is that jet fuel is so heavy that lifting the fuel off the ground is actually what we use most of the fuel for. That's why they detach the fuel tanks mid-flight, to decrease the rocket's weight.
