Lately, I seem to be getting a lot of mentions.  Rask and DamnRinger made a joint video on CardRunners (which was pretty good btw) and in their intro, they decided to poke fun at my "passive" playing style:

To be honest, there aren't many regulars who fold as many hands as I do who still win money.  Not a brag, obviously.

HANDS

So I thought I had a fairly tight image, but here's a hand I played in 6max that's had me a bit puzzled.  Villain played 31/23 (laggy) and seemed to be 4betting a lot.  So I thought the best pocket pair he could possibly have is TT-ish.  Note we are 173BBs deep.

Note to Rask and DamnRinger: had I FOLDED pre, I could have saved myself 173 BIG BLINDS!!!  You crazies need to stop making coaching videos!  :-P

Well, I guess I have to do this once in a while so that I can get paid off with my KK+.  But it's pretty shocking a laggy player pre in 6 max could flat a hand as good as QQ there.  Must mean I guess I should shove ATC over his frequent 4bets.  Sigh.  But again, poker is all about putting your opponent on a *correct* hand range and playing accordngly.

[Edit:  Just realized he flatted QQ because we were deep.  Double Doh!!!]
