    awesome stuff by me if I do say so myself, hopefully posting this garbage will help keep me from just mindlessly stacking off in the future. I was laying these down at 25NL, go figure.

    turn raises are the nuts

    Im opedipus bitch, the original balla.
    Hand 1 and 2 - just check it down.. They obviously flopped sets.

    Hand 3 - bet flop, but once queen comes off he has two pair 100% of the time.

    Edit - I confirmed my suspicions by looking at the results.

    keep it coming.

    and no, I wasn't doing crap like this until now. i really don't have any excuses for why I gave my money away.
