All in with a 73!?! I could understand it if he was playing the hammer but not a garbage hand like a 73.

I go both ways. PokerTracker shows I have the second most winnings (out of all the postions) from the BB but I have lost the most from the SB position.
Shows that I am calling w/ the SB too much but playing well after the flop from the BB. Man I love PT. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
