You happen to flop as gin as it can get without having a set, so given we're UTG and cold called a 4b, I would just open jam and hope that it looks mega strong and something like JJ,QQ can maaybe find a fold.

Still I would assess your set hunting game. You need more than 10x, and 15x is a lot more reasonable given:
1. You won't always get paid off when you hit a set
2. Sometimes you will be tempted to peel flops, even when your pre-flop plan was to set hunt (ie: flop comes 226 and you c/c one anyhow)
3. Even when you hit a set, you don't always win (beit set over set on the flop, or they outdraw you to their higher set or flush/striaght etc)

If you're calling here you're probably calling in a lot of spots that aren't profitable imo. You should run a filter for pairs, and low pairs especially like 22-55 when you call pre and see how you're doing with them.
yeah, thanks grif for hitting me with that. There is no doubt I'm doing a lot wrong, but i'm actually not doing too bad with my lower pp's, def over- valuing mid pairs though as the hand above shows.

i'm rusty as hell, my head is spinning a bit. I got my roll up to $30 from freerolls, and a couple $3/$5 stt's i won entry in by spinning this slot machine wheel, it only cost a penny so , i give myself 5 spins here and there, but anyway i'm doing so/so @ 2nl, which is really aggravating ya know. There is no reason i should'nt be crushing 2nl. I think I really need to slow down, hit the pen and paper, and do some good studying. I have like 200+ dueces cracked vids, and posting too. I've barely posted shit.

So, if there is any other advice for getting back into grinding after a long time away I would appreciate it. I'm ready to really get back into it, I think I just need a little direction. I appreciate any advice from anyone as always, thanks Ong!! and everyone else FTR is hands down the best . you guys turned me into a winning cash game player . I'm ready to win again.
