We've talked about this....Huge... huge leak, here. We've talked about this. After reading this section, I think you are trying to narrow down your opponents holdings way too much. These are loose games with BAD players. You MUST exploit there mistakes. What mistakes do they all make?<BR/><BR/>1) They are loose PF.<BR/>2) They go too far w/marginal hands.<BR/>3) They are curious.<BR/><BR/>So, w/your big PP... just because an overcard comes on the flop, you are NOT beat, necessarily and you are missing bets if you check. It is true that some will have the top pair. And in "our" normal games, it's ok to be suspicious of it. But when there is a big chance that players will make mistake number (2), you have to bet and even call down to the river if you get raised.<BR/><BR/>I also find it odd that you got aggressive w/2nd pair on your KQo hand, but not w/your 2nd pair when you had the big PP. Please ask yourself if this passiveness is indicative of the other players at the table? If so, shouldn't you be more aggressive?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
