WE ARE MOVING SOON, We will be switcing forum software in the coming days. I am not sure of the exact time and date but sometime this week. I will do my best to make sure the disruption is as little as possible but the site could be down for a good hour for the move.

I'm shocked

As a disclaimer this is not an entirely bad beat story. Yes I got the worst of it this hand but I hit runner runner to make a straight the following hand to make up for it. I'm clearing a bonus at FullTilt and am surprised at how soft some of the play is. I would have more hands but it took along time to figure out how to get a HH. My review is the low limits of Hold'em are soft but Omaha is even better.

    Open to criticism but I see where I went wrong and how he was on a draw. But in my defense I was steaming as this seemed to be the standard flop when holding a pocket pair and then seeing stars when the king hit.

    Preflop fine

    Post flop fine though painful flop

    Turn fine

    River - not quite sure what hand you think you are beating that will call your raise. I know I cannot think of one so while a semi crying call on your part is fine, what you did on the river is sort of less fine.

    Wrong situation to play based on emotions since at best you can do is chop unless he is actually playing with his monitor off while randomly moving his mouse and clicking or he loses connection after your raise :). If you must steam, at least avoid this scenario when doing so.

    eek...UTG with 7-2. What else can you say? Tough one.

    Follow him around and get your money back.

    I have found that at the lower limits players will play 2-7 and 10-2 for the novelty of it no other reason.

    The only suggestion I have is when playing low limit and you have high pockets with a limper or two in front is to put a larger (4XBB/5XBB) raise in to punish the limpers and to discourage others behind you calling your bet because they have "odds".

    "Ditto"

    With his limp, the pot's at 60 cents, I would want to make him pay at least a pot-size since you're in MP with a "decent" pair, you want to ensure it's just you and him, so maybe a bet >$1, $1.25 seems nice to me, and if he calls even that bet, well...
