the .25/.50 tables were teaming with fish last night. i actually sat down on one table where over %60 percent of the table was seeing the flop. unfortunately that table broke up shortly after i got there, but never fear, there were still a couple of tables where %50 of the table was seeing the flop.
hand one: and this is why you don't raise with medium pairs in early position

» thank you mr. 6s for staying in with the bottom pair.
i think i'll just keep grinding away at .25/.50. playing with these guys helps to re-inforce what i'm reading in the books. whenever i'm tempted to raise in early position with a mid-pair i'll just think of mr. 0s.
just six days until vegas.
