Hooray back at 25NL FR. No more 6 max no more high variance style of play. I'm back to my true comfort zone.


Interesting hands


This might be a really bad play seeing as how his min raises screams "I HAVE THE FLUSH!!!!!" Unfortunately I don't like laying down top set so ship it. This might become a problem later on.

This hand is pretty sick. I think I have to shove here because "assuming hes not a complete fish" I would check raise an OESD or a strong FD and definitely a combo draw as well as a set. Of course me being an idiot is still willing to stack off TPTK on a drawy board and unfortunately again I did not think he would defend his BB with what he did.
