First of all, Hi.

Second of all, I need a place to vent after losing this pot. I'm new, learning and this pot set me back about 230bb. This seems to be the right section of the forum for it.



Villain was like 70/30, certified maniac.

Any sarcastic comment I can use as advice is much appreciated.

You played it gr8.

You go broke everytime when played right.

Villain was 70/30? So you actually bought PT3/HEM to play 5NL?

gl to you then, sir.

It was a beat, but it's probably best not to post super standard hands thcat cost you a pack of smokes.

I thought people were joking, do these stakes really exist??

Sick level

Standard?

and outplayed lol

it's really for people who dont have a clue and are new to the game

he had a straight flush draw preflop

ofc PT3 doesn't have to be obtained legally.....

(not saying its right just saying he may not have 'wasted his money at these limits)
