I posted last week about UB's ridiculously tight .25/.50 limit games. So I decided I had enough of that and I moved over to PS (PP doesn't have .25/.50 for my broke ass). And here I thought PS was fairly tight:

Probably dumb to call on the end instead of capping, but whatever.

I don't blame you for not capping the river. Nice hand.

[hachkc]

Nice hand.

As for the cap, no big deal as there were 2 hands that beat you.

I think there was only one hand that beat me, unless I'm mistaken. The Ad was on the board. I figured with the action and the pot being 8 handed on the flop, someone had to have the K-high draw. It was a UB after-effect, I forgot how stupid the typical small stakes players are.

I'm still surprised so many people stayed in. I mean, usually three to a flush on the board has everyone putting on the brakes, unless they have a set.

4d2d beats you too.

Ooops.
*rereads "idendifying the nuts"*

Haha, I donked off 14BB in an O8 hand yesterday thinking I had the nuts... I didn't.

Oh lord, that's why I stopped playing O8. I did that stuff constantly.

[hachkc]

O8 and O are great practice for reading the board and identifying the nuts. You either get good at it or go broke trying.

I have spent most of my online poker time lately in PLO8(micro limits) and have found it's helps my entire poker game. Reading the board and betting patterns improve.
