But it's a slightly different game at the bet-happy 25NL games online, at least in my experience.<BR/><BR/>While I shouldn't overbet, neither should I underbet and allow them to draw... And when they raise, I should call when I know I'm good. Next card also doesn't bring the goods on any of their likely draws, I am going to bet again... And I'm certainly not going to lay down if and when they raise when I still know I'm good.<BR/><BR/>I understand the concepts and the reasoning, but at the same time pot size isn't purely up to me... When it comes down to it and I have seen the cards, I feel I've done the right thing any time the money hits the table and I am significantly ahead.<BR/><BR/>----<BR/><BR/>As to Matt's post, understood on one level... But 10% ROI over what period of time? By the way you've stated it, one should be happy to turn a $100 initial investment into $110 over the course of 10 years playing...<BR/><BR/>10% in 2+ months doesn't seem worth the time or mental and emotional stress incurred in the process... At least not to me.PAPro_SandManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843500037071834709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547686577370644984.post-8031472490524300362008-10-27T15:04:00.000-06:002008-10-27T15:04:00.000-06:00What Matt said.Also, even if you have a dead solid...What Matt said.<BR/><BR/>Also, even if you have a dead solid read on your opponent, a big pair is just a big pair. I would exercise pot control with only an overpair to the board.<BR/><BR/>You know this.Cardgrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329562674934869003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547686577370644984.post-17556874188448249302008-10-27T14:57:00.000-06:002008-10-27T14:57:00.000-06:00variance, variance, variance.10% overall ROI is co...variance, variance, variance.<BR/><BR/>10% overall ROI is considered good.
