(Look: I've been whining a lot lately, but I'll stop complaining about bad beats when they stop happening every 100 hands. Promise!)

However, I can crack the pocket rockets of the biggest nit at 25NL, so for now I'll call it even.

  1. I feel your pain, chief. I can't go 30 minutes without the RNG finding some new way of punching me right in the junk. My favorite, as of late, is when people float me out of position with any underpair in a 3bet pot and then turn a set. Awesome.

  2. Oh yeah, I had that problem for a while. If you have a crazy table image and cbet too much, observant players will float you just thinking they are good. Unobservant players will sometimes just call down with any pair. WTSD% is usually a good way to tell these types apart although that stat takes a while to converge. Hopefully, either of these passive types will suddenly get pretty excited when they improve on the turn, and then you can apply Baluga's Theorem and get away from just an overpair.
