Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2355178, member: 34747"] It certainly crossed my mind that he could be 3betting me light (thought I wrote that but guess I left it out, oops). Definitely could be getting out of line more vs. me than others, especially because of how tight he'd been playing (even compared to usual). However when he bets flop and checks back turn, I don't think he is expecting to get folds if he bets the river with his air. His line looks too "bluffy," I think, and I suspect he's firing a one-and-done cbet here with air. That being said, a check might strictly be better as played, since I allow that 5% chance he bets air or w/e, and also let him make a mistake by perhaps betting QQ, where I think it's pretty unlikely he ever calls the river. And the sizing considerations might not outweigh the times he bets more hands for me than he'd call with. Thanks for the thoughts, DK. :) As for live poker regressing, it's tough for me to comment on since I've only been playing for about a year and a half, but I think your hypothesis could certainly have some truth to it. It's tough to gauge the long-term changes though, since so much an affect a player pool. The economy is a big thing that springs to mind. But there are a definitely a LOT of bad players who think they are god's gift to poker, for no other reason than they won $600 in one session of 1/2 one time. Thanks vin. I mean with 2/5 it's tricky, because the softness varies so much day-to-day, and I've only logged 25 hours so far anyway. Plus, since I'm graduating and won't be staying in the Cleveland area, I won't even have access to these games anymore. I'm really hoping to grind out a lot at 2/5 before I leave (in like 2ish weeks) to get experience, get comfortable at those stakes, and hopefully run decent-ish and take some solid profit home with me. But from what I've seen, if I game select well (which will mostly involve leaving a bad 2/5 table if necessary), I will do fine in that game. Thanks for following, buddy :) [/QUOTE]
