DOnt think I play too many hands but I do think Ineed to be taking stabs at less than previous hands,   I usually end waiting and waiting for just the  right cards to bet a F' load of chips only to miss the flop and I could do that with other cards that might have a chance.   You know live poker you can really play lower pair cards and many times they hold up,  Online  DAMN its like geared for all high action  One dude holds Ak some one else hold AA and someone else holds QQ.

Im gonna check out htis article cause I miss out on too many nice size pots being folded out  like yesterday I was in a forum game by folding so many not good pockets  I missed a  QUADS - 3 FULL HOUSES - STRAIGHT and enough TRIPS to irratate me and what do I put my tourny life on a FN  AKs   only for someone else to hold of course what else AA
