Breaking the ice on this new forum, thanks for setting it up. I've lurked on this site for years but just registered.
I'm an ok but not great limit player. I travel for work and found a nearby card room but they only spread NL, so I'm "forced" to give it a go. Two sessions have both been rough, especially last night. Bad luck or bad play?
Two hands from last night, 1/2 NL
Fairly tight table, I'm probably viewed as decent but predictable, sorta played everything straight/conservative and am slightly ahead before these hands.
Hand 1: 7 handed, I raise to 8 UTG with AdJd. New guy at the table calls from CO, everyone else folds. Villian and hero both have 150 behind.
Flop: rags with two diamonds. I bet 15, v calls.
Turn: Ac. I check, v bets 55, I shove.
Hand 2: 7 handed, I have 60, both villains cover. I open for 8 from CO with KQo, button calls, bb (same guy from hand 1) calls. Bb seems solid, button knows how to play but is there for entertainment.
Flop: Qxx rainbow. Bb bets 15, I shove, button calls, Bb folds.
Am I a maniac?
