Do I think so, yes. Do I do it normally? No. Very easy for someone to show up with a scared ace. It's a big pot for NL25. Weak ace is scared to bet, but the way NL25 plays is super passive. They're not going to bet their hand, only call bets.

Yeah, but I don't think I would do it though... As said, weak A being scared won't bet but would call...

But I WOULD raise it pre. Calling invites the others to call as well and they didn't really show any strength so a raise would prolly get them out and leave you headsup with shorty. I don't like playing QQ 3+way :P

Yes.

I thought about raising or shoving pf but I figured that only folds out the crap and leaves AA/KK. To be honest I wasn't expecting any calls once the shorty shoved. I didn't want to play QQ 3-ways either, but I figured that was better than giving all the weaker hands a super-easy fold.

As for the river, I'm sure Jx, TT, and 99 call, but a weak ace (or scared KK) is also very likely. That's why I didn't want to bet.

so after watching a few poker vid's i decide to run through the hands i've marked the past week for review and note taking... now i taste vomit. when will i learn not to overplay OP's??? especially against other nits??? then there is the nasty-assed hand where i run AA into a moaran who 3b's me w/97o and then proceeds to call my 4b - only to hit his 2 pair on a K79 board for 100BB's??? wtf???

need to go brush my teeth and gargle *three* times with listerine now... i suck.

just starting to play NL50 and idk how you guys deal with all these SS's, just handcuff's the **** out of what you can do, **** ftp please do something about this asap.

Hmm, let me make a note not to respect your 4-bets ever again.

It was soooooooooted!

hey! AK spices up a table, 'kay?

But it was for value!

stick to the deeps with us.

Yeah don't berate the fish IMO

BTW if all the 50NL regs want to PM me their SNs that'd be cool. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours!

gladly. I often sit first at the deep tables just to get them started.

I'm kinda wondering if the deep tables are worth it. I play some PL tables to partly get away from the shorties, but my WR lately at 25NL/PL is worse at PL (unfortunately I use Poker Copilot and it doesn't break down deep vs. regular tables). Most of the shorties are so horrible it doesn't really matter. Yes, you have to change your game a little bit, especially if you love to set-mine, but there's a narrow VPIP/PFR range a short-stacker has to fall into to be profitable, while a good full-stack player can be very loose or very tight and still profit. And while you can't win as much money at once from the shorties, it beats being at a table full of deep-stacked nits and 2+2ers. I still try to play a lot of deep and PL tables, but the number of good shorties is pretty small, at least at 25NL. I play a little bit of 50NL too and maybe they're a little better there, but shorties can be fish too.

I play at 10NL and I don't find the play much better at the deep tables than the short tables. Although I played about ten seconds of short before I decided that I just wasn't interested in playing with a bunch of people with ten BB.

i have a 56/31 400 hands opening T7o UTG1 and firing flops @ fiddy!

YAY for every ****ing session starting like this

got him!
