In Response to Re: just another reason why i get annoyed at people on the tables : i acknowledged what people said, i didnt acknowledge DON cus i didnt see his post till just now, two people said they hate the way i played the hand, and so i pointed out the reasoning behind why, Dohhhh has explained the reasoning of why we bet bigger, and to be quite honest i didnt even realise this was the reason, i always thought we bet big to get rid of smaller pairs and suited connectors, but now that DOHH and whoever else repeated it i can make these raises sizes and understand why i should be raising so high. The point of this post was the fact that on NL4, The person slow played it, something that i have been told never happens at NL4, but from speaking to other NL4 players it does happen, so now i will have to adjust my game, and yes i have aknowledged everything people have said in this post and taken it on board, i wasnt gonna reply but to say i didnt acknowledge what people said was harsh cus as already stated the only post i didnt acknowledge was Dons, and thats cus i didnt see it Posted by sillymunch
I doubt you've been told it never happens at 4NL, what's more likely is YOU were told to NEVER slowplay and that is correct. You get called off so light at 4NL so checking with a monster is just losing value. He slowplayed it but clearly he's not exactly a solid player when he's calling raises pre with 510s even though it was a tiny raise.
I've lost count of how many times I've said to you that your raise size with good hands need to be AT LEAST 20p and still you're not doing it. Yes in this case you would have lost more but 99% of the time, he doesn't flop a flush and you're winning the hand.

actually since this thread and was explained the reasoning of why we raise to 20p, i always raise to 20p so it may have taken a while but im understanding it a lot better now
