its not even huge raises that scare em away. i got AA on one hand and there was no pre flop raise, i wasnt about to go raising in the hopes someone would catch high pair and stick around. the flop comes rag rag king with 2 spades so i decided i have to throw in a little. with 50c blinds i raise $1 and everyone's a lawn chair.

i think my playing to tight might come from online. you have to play tight online cause it seems like half the hands are rigged. 4 sets of pockets on one hand, 3 flushes at once, i only like to play the nuts.

als with the game last night i cant do anything but play tight. i get to the game late with a few people sitting around with 150+. i only had 30 bucks, i cant play aggressive with $30 v 150. first hand i got was pocket 8's, there was a $20 raise after the flop with a king on the board so obviously i assume my 8's are junk and toss em. they ended up winning with 6's


p.s. could someone tell me what "gutshot" means?
