Ugh, these games are so tight, I cursed myself for not folding this.

This is pretty much how my last 5k hands have gone.

Is this at Prima? Are the games pretty bad?

That's an action flop if I've ever seen one. Once in a live 4/8 limit game, it was a kill hand so we were playing 6/12 and I picked up 88. Flop was A-8-2, long story short, I was up against A2 and A8 and got PAID.

btw, I don't know how you can fold this.

standard i think. The way it played out I can't find a fold. Too many other hands that you beat that they will play the same way exist.
Although we are breaking the cardinal rule of NLHE, never go broke in an unraised pot, at 100NL i go broke here every time i think.

the dumbass who limped AA after another limped in a SH game will learn soon.

nh, reload, kick his ass.

sidenote: i really like UB, best software on the net. It has some insane maniacs. thanks to the bet pot button.

Did you consider a set of 9s? I agree though, it's hard to find a fold, considering the preflop action. If there was any kind of pf action, you could seriously consider folding.

If you fold this without read your weak.
I raise to $5 preflop.

Strongly considered a set of 9's. I put the guy that pushed all in for a set of 9's, but didn't have the disipline to lay down bottom set.

I've lost with a lower set so many times lately, I'm beginning to find some folds in there. Earlier the flop was T-x-8, in a raised pot, and I lost with a set of 8's to a set of T's. No way I'm getting away from 8-8 there, but something like 22-55, I might be able to see laying down bottom set depending on the action.

Yea, its on Prima. Prima is a small network, so what happens is you end up seeing 2-4 TAG multitablers on 4 out of the 6 tables that are running .5/1. Using PA Hud, its very easy to spot these nits. If you are playing at their tables, just don't give them any action, or just take advantage of their tightness.

I'm gonna grind out some more hands at Prima though, the 49% rakeback deal is too good to pass up that quickly.
