Ty, well, it just very -EV to call the bet here and hope you'll hit and then decide what to do.

If you push turn you can win at the turn (which I am glad to take), or you can win by hitting the rivercard if you do get a call

Ya I need to stop making decisions quick, shoving the turn is much better than calling.

Making quick decicions is an multi-tabling leak, imo
I played 16 tables for some time and I noticed myself going on auto-pilot, now I stick to 8 and I make much better decisions because I have more time to think about the hand I am playing

finding out the max tables you can play without giving up too much EV is prolly one of the most important things with online poker. For me it is 12 tables...for someone else its 20...

I seriously don't know how you guys do it. I can play up to 8 comfortably, I can't really go much past that and still be fine. However, I'm also playing on a laptop with one 22" monitor plugged in.

I'm thinking about getting a good 24" monitor with 1920/1200 resolution. The resolution on my 22" is 1680x1080 I think, maybe worse actually, its like a year old.

Yea I am going to wait until I am actually good at poker to spend any more money on my hardware for grinding tho. My next investment will prolly be a 30

Probably my biggest pot to date. MP1 is lagtard, playing nearly every hand, limp calling with seemingly ATC. He's managing to scare the weak tights well, though (most of the table, imo). CO is semi decent reg.

I got you, you son of a bitch! Villain in this hand has been raising and check/raising constantly, stealing pots left and right. The only hands he has shown down have been losers, usually as a result of him calling a bet on the river with a hand like A6 trying to catch a bluff. Those are the only times he called. Literally every other hand was a raise or a checkraise.

I was determined to double up through him, and I got him.
