I decided to delve back into the 100 NL game at Stars today and with pretty good success. It is amazing how much shit people talk sometimes at you when you are sitting with 4 buy ins on two tables. Well I guess my shitty play was just a tad bit better and luckier than their shitty play. Here are a few hands from the sessions for looking over and tweaking. All criticism opernly welcome.

The first hand was one in which I was involved with a player from a previous pot where they had way overbet an underpair to the board on the flop and turn and spiked a set on me at the river for a good sized pot. So that plays alot into my taking a card off on the turn to a small bet hoping to pick up a draw and perhaps push them out of the hand or get lucky and hit my hand. In retrospect I believe I way underbet on the river given my previous encounter with her.
