wow...thats pretty funny....not sure why you folded to 1 bet on the turn though...i think i read that right...
You read that right.
It was the bet size, and the fact that there were 5 people in the pot.
I did not think anyone would lead there without a flush (which beats me), based on the flop action.
Saw you shortstacking NL100 the other night. You are too talented to not be playing full stacked at that level imo.

You would run better if you said hi to your blog reader when you are playing.

Hi, I probably didn't see your comment as I was playing with a stack yesterday instead of tiled.
In fact it was a pretty bad run last session, only 2,000 hands, but I had KKvAA and lost AIPF 3 times, KKvAK lost AIPF, and 2 losses with AA and another with KK to an OESD.
Only lost $60 so not bad.
Pretty confused as to why you would play 42s, and then min-raise? If part of the value of being suited is making a flush, then it is assumable that making a 4 high flush would be good against said competition. And of course, putting money into the pot with a weak hand and then making a bad laydown compounds the problem.
I don't know if this is typical of your play, but cutting out these marginal hands (I now prefer to call them "noise") will automatically boost your WR a TON. Hands like these is where all of the money is lost in poker.
"Then it is assumable that making a 4 high flush would be good against said competition."
Heads-up the stack is going in every time.
However, against 4 opponents on a paired board it, with that size bet lead into 4 people, where I am committing my whole stack, because any additional pair or club kills my hand, I do not think it was good.
In general the NL50 games are very nitty which was why I was playing 26/20 preflop, but on that particular table it was a mistake after you can see how those people are playing.
