I used to be an excellent live player in Florida then we moved to NC where there are no casinos for 4 years. Now Im in the San Francisco Bay area and started playing live again. Was playing tons of online used to logical or semi-logic lines by players. But at the casino I run into the most rediculous logic. My body language reads are still spot on (from the hands I do see) but I find my math skills overridding them. So I got a few hands I want comments on.

All 1/2 NL with a $4 limp
--- #1 Hand
Me - BUT with (TT)
EP ~80% VPIP

5 limpers I raise button $24, EP flat calls, rest fold.
F: Jd7s5s - EP bets 2/5pot. I call.
T: Ah - EP checks, your play? I felt like betting because he could have FD, str8 draw, gut draw, 7, 88, 99 with his VPIP.

Had no reads on him and that 2/5 pot bet looked like a draw to me.

#2 Hand
Me - BUT with (JJ)
EP ~35% VPIP, MP ~35% VPIP
EP raises, MP cold calls, I cold call.
F: 9h7s3d EP starts yapping and kinda slams down a 3/4 PSB, MP Calls, I Call.
T: 4c EP slams all his chips in the middle again. Im getting ~2:1. My reads are screaming weak means strong. He gives me a staredown too. I think going with the math is right. I dont beat QQ+ and only beat TT/AK. I know he doesnt have a set. Dont know if he bluffs.

#3 Hand
Me MP3 with (JJ)
4 limpers I raise $20, CO snap cold calls, BB flamboyantly overshoves $100 (his stack), rest fold. Im getting exact odds to call here ~2:1 vs QQ+ AK. My read says strong means weak he is overjamming AK or QQ and he wouldnt play KK or AA this way. But I still have this CO who flatted $20.

My online skills keep running into my read skills and contradicting each other. Its annoying. I usually use my reads as my 50/50 shifter unless there is something obvious. But the problem I run into is that these players make no sense on any of their plays and my reads turn out right more often then my math. I feel my years online have dulled live play.

EXAMPLE: EP raises and gets 5 callers. Flop comes Qs7h6h and he 1/2 pot bets it with the QTo that he raised with. He has zero fold equity and I end up folding the best hand (99). ARG.
