In the past week or so I've been seeing UTG and HJ open raises getting 3! bet by medium suited aces and such. Wassup with that? I can understand 3 betting 98s from time to time, but A7s? Is 3 betting the new open-raise?

This is so standard it's not even funny.

Standard for whom? And if so, why haven't I noticed it before a week ago?

I agree the 3 betting and the c/ring flop with air stuff has gone through the roof.

I knew moneypenny was bad, but wtf? I thought he was just a grinder not a degenerate. There is this one, and he opened 24o UTG, all kinds of weird stuff.

I'm not sure how that is different from now. Most of the people who post here already do this as part of seat section. The ones that seat/table select, that is.

her flop play is awful.

Given that she ****ed up the flop, the turn is even worse.

River is probably bad since there is no real indication that hero has KK, and if she did think hero had KK then her play on the two previous streets is even more lolololol

to be fair, she played it only slightly worse than Slav though, and hero misplayed the turn

its a brain-dead easy 3 bet. People mindlessly cbet after capping, and slav can easily have a Q or lower PP

I may have misplayed the turn with slavistas in the hand but I pretty much put Maria on AKSS AA QQ TT or a ghetto AQ as thats pretty much 100% how she plays those hands every time after playing like 20K hands with her being up like 150BB. I was kind of clueless as to slavistas hand as I didn't really think he was ahead of me or Maria at all (He was at least PF) : P.

What is "Nordic Marketing Bonus"? How can you get it? And WHY do you get it? Does anyone have it?

Any ideas?

Wasn't a misclick, and I got a PM so I know who it is now. I am supposed to feel bad about saying a fellow 2+2er has a gambling problem?
