Pwning another 200NL noob

I will not post any strategy, because obviously that is causing a lot of tilt.

But I wanted to post this hand just to show how bad people play at 200NL. This is 6-max.

Villain called a 40bb all-in shove hand prior to this with K3s. Had just played a few hands so not much to go on.

Villain is UTG with :as: :js:, and HERO is CO with :ac: :ah:

Villain RAISE to 7, call 15.
HERO RAISE to 22.

FLOP; :8c: :tc: :jh:, 45USD

Villain checks, raises all-in 374.18
HERO bets 35, calls 142.05

TURN, RIVER; Blank, blank

HERO WINS pot 398.1 with a pair of aces.
Villain loses his honour and a lot a chips.

1. I see a lot of these noobs calling 3-bets preflop with terrible hands like KQ and AJ all the time.

2. Even the good players seem to have lost their discipline and play loose like a noob who does not know better.

3. Average vpip at tables is commonly above 44%! If they are great players they can play more hands- but they certainly are not.

4. Played some 2 NL yesterday and competition was harder. More difficult playing against calling stations than people who is bluffing a lot AND is giving off timing tells.

All in all- all players are noobs until proven otherwise.

Wow.. You won with an overpair against TPTK in a 3bet pot.. PWNZORED!!!!

:D

As an aside, I'm lovin' your avatar.. That is the girl that played 'Winnie' in "The Wonder Years", amirite?

xxstacksxx: Sir P´s intention was to brag, and he failed-lolz!

Sir Pawnalot: Players at 100NL and 200 NL still suck. He thought it would be reassuring to aspiring players to see that the difference from the lowest micro stakes to the higher micro stakes is not that big.

Please be more friendly. I just tried to give people hope. Most poker players are bad and have terrible memory.

Damn! You're right, honestly I didn't even realise that's who it was! I had such a crush on Winnie back in the day (I was like 12 at the time.)

LOL.. Don't feel bad that you didn't know. I actually just downloaded all 6 seasons of the wonder years like last week because I remember loving that show. And I've actually watched the first 3 seasons already. Which probably sounds corny, but meh, it's still a cool show.

I'm down over $3k during this time frame, which isn't incredibly bad, yet has me in not such a great mood. It's just small winning sessions followed by soul-crushing losing ones."

I am glad I never listened to your advice. Thankfully we have people like Spenda, Massimo and ISF here. Go back to BC and assign some ranges please.

Your inputs is not appreciated, at least not by me.

I'm just gonna go ahead and lock this

Lol. Because I had a downswing, I must be a terrible player apparently. I'm sure every single person you mentioned has had downswings that have been just as bad (or worse).

Also, unlike you, I have never said I'm great at poker. I merely offer my advice where I think it might be beneficial. You on the other hand go around into every thread you can find talking about how much you pwn, and how you took a $20 roll to 200nl (which tons of people have done). And then you wonder why nearly everyone on this site despises you. So to save you the soul searching you must do to find why you are hated around here, it's because you are an egotistical little prick.

Go ahead and send me another pm telling me how my tone is not friendly, and that I should be more calm. I'll send you a pm telling you to calmly stfu.
