    Hi Craig thought you might post this last one (44vAA).!!
    Sat on that table for a long while card dead or running 2 prs into straights etc. Thought I would try and take you off what I assumed was an overpair, but it didn't work. Hey Ho !
    You keep finding those AA's against me - stacked my QQ and folded another QQ when I knew I was beat.
    Well played  - it seems to be getting harder to avoid quite a few Regs on NL4. I think it's time TINTIN moved up a level !

    But what if he had K4, you just got him to fold the best hand, nice work.

    The purpose of betting draws is not just to build a pot to win if you hit, its to give you a second way of winning the pot, ie without showdown, in this case the latter worked.

    I play a lot of 4nl right now. On the whole the standard of play is abysmal, excluding perhaps 5 or 6 players. I just think sitting with anything other than max buy in is missed value.

    Nice work,

    How do you manage 6 tables? does the small size work ok with you? it confuses the **** out of me - far too cluttered. So really 4 is my limit right now

    Looking to get a VGA cable and hook up to my TV soon, 6 tables here we go!

    hooking up to your tv will make no difference if the screen resolution is the same. just because its a bigger screen doesnt always mean you will fit more tables on it. you need to go on screen resolution as to how many you can fit on your screen. the bigger the resolution the more you can fit.

    mini view does take a little getting used to, i admit, but i dont find it cluttered. i was always a little wary of the difference at first but the more i played the better it looked. if i didnt play in mini view i wouldnt be playing 12 tables at a time like now

    i think your being a little harsh with your description of the villian in hand 2. i'd be more concerned that you left him with money after the hand had played out when he should have had zero. i think you played it badly. im not a lover of how you played the hand post flop but on the river the villain had less than the size of the pot behind, it looks around 3/4, so why only bet half pot. missed value there me thinks

    i've got to admit the reason for my check on the flop was i saw that A and thought to myself if i jumped straight in with a bet then i would be very likely to scare him away so i will give him a free card. when he bet i thought maybe he has an A which i would have put most villians on.

    the simple fact is you flopped set over set here and still never stacked opponent and it mainly boils down to your bet sizing.

    forgetting the check on the flop, why bet less than half pot on the turn. bet more here the villain has less left to call river bets, so your river bet doesnt then look big in relation to pot size.

    as played the villain has 3/4 of the pot size behind, why wasnt your bet to put him all in instead of half potting it?

    the way you played it with checking the flop and leading the turn stinks of a large set imo and the villain could have been wary of this and thats why they just called down saving themselves money. it might not be a large amount but its still 14 big blinds you lost out on

    i had a bad start today but things managed to turn round after i got knocked out the 4K BH that i went in through a sat.
    over all my balance is £156
    the way it became was with losses of 12.75 in three tourneys and £1.21, £7.36 £5 0.97, £10.78, £3.87, £0.14 and £0.57 in cash games

    the profits were £8.31, £5.13, £3.74, £2.24, £2.79, £5.85
    so overall my cash tables got me a loss of £1.84
