I'll 3bet occasionally there, but I think J10s plays well enough post flop that I really don't want to have to fold everytime I get 4bet.

[KingJames 11]

btn vs bb just 5b jam ldo

[droberts 3]

ive been 4betting alot from the button to the Sb's of BB's 3bet here lately with goooot results..also ive found that people who pot as a 3bet fold less to 4bets than people who just 3bet from like .35 to 1.10 or something similar.

we need to start a poker club that is designed to bust 2nl grinders. I know James is in.

[BaseJester 1]

I have 33k in FTP. Is there a logical path towards turning that into money or is it better to ignore them for sake of the rakeback?

[babylondonks 5]

I'd be ignoring them, the general value is something like $3/1000 points iirc so they're not worth much. That said I really want to purchase that velour bathrobe

I think betting the turn probably would have been a better play but I'm not sure about bet size as I have a pot size bet left. Should I shove the turn or should I bet something small? SB was a monkey (47/32) and we tangled in a few pots which I think I won every single one and I think he was starting to tilt/hate me Milked from the teat of a feral cowHEM/Poker Stars NL Hold'em $0.25/$0.50 ante $0.10 - 8 playersMP: $138.25 HJ: $134.90 CO: $119.20 Button: $142.70 (Hero)SB: $176.20 BB: $123.45 UTG: $90.25 UTG+1: $56.05 Preflop: ($1.55) Hero is Button with (8 players)5 folds, Hero raises to $2.00, SB raises to $6.80, BB folds, Hero raises to $22.65, SB calls $15.85Flop: ($46.60) (2 players)SB checks, Hero bets $27.00, SB calls $27.00Turn: ($100.60) (2 players)SB checks, Hero checksRiver: ($100.60) (2 players)SB bets $100.00, Hero calls $92.95

2nl grinders

They exist?

WOW!

That can't be a real person. How the hell can someone play 1 million hands of 2nl then break even over the next million.
