Why would someone laugh over you thinking you have an edge on the pool when you posted a 500k graph winning at 4.5evbb/100?

Just basing it on calling ranges crushing you, and not getting enough folds, as demonstrated by your rubbish flush getting owned. This is not isolated to 500z, its nothing special, its 2018 regs play the same ranges everywhere these days, your play is bad at 50nl and 500nl. I shouldn't be too harsh on you though because at least you post when your getting crushed unlike most of the PCG sissies.

Calling ranges can't crush him if he is not folding enough, also we're talking here about the hand with highest equity vs AA in hold'em. 67s best SC ever! Vaaaaamooo

Yeah, tbf, volume is usually key on getting out of ds and long b/e stretch.

Also, the more often you play regularly, the closer you get to your A game.

Was funny seeing you in my time zone today lol. Glgl, I enjoy the battling whenever it occurs.

haha, gimme that ev pls.

nah man, 2.87bb is embarrassing really. And if i'm being brutally honest, i don't rate the 'average' 500z regs, so it does really sting. But perhaps i'm being entitled. Likely a bit of both

Good to see you're crushing, keep at it!

I don't see how my posting losing results has any relevance to your comment about the 67s being a poor squeeze. I study/speak with a few of the very best 500z/high stakes regs, and their opinions seem contrary to your analysis. I don't know what games you play or now much contact you have with mid-high stakes regs on pokerstars, but is there a chance that you're misinterpreting something/someone?

I'm sure these 'friends' of yours have no problem encouraging you to keep slashing your money away. I'm not misinterpreting anything, I saw you get coolered for the very reason squeezing that hand sucks.
