Yes, it contained this:"(i don't know if converter works with FT yet, so i'm not going to try)"Glad to see you put the effort in before you asked us to help you make money.

I don't like the 3bet with AJo, other than that everything looks pretty standard.

my only justification for the 3bet was that the table was currently shorthanded, but i can see where it's bad...do you coldcall or fold?

Usually fold depending on reads.

Definately lead the river. Just try not to get frustrated when he turns over J9o.

yeah yeah a guy made a mistake, sue me

[No_Neck 0]

without reads, I would call this down the hand with the kings, if he is tight though you might want to fold.

[dms26 3]

I don't like the 3bet with AJo, other than that everything looks pretty standard.

I didn't look at all the hands, but I definately agree with this one. Best case scenario the guy has 99 or TT raising UTG, unless he's a very LAG player.

I know it's overused, but fold preflop. QJo out of position is not a very good hand to me.

[dms26 3]

It looks like you might be limping with hands in early position that will get you in trouble with kicker problems like QT and QJ. That might also be why your VP$IP is a little high.

Looks fine except I most likely check the river unless he has been calling down with middle pairs or unimproved pocket pairs. He probably has a J w/ a weak kicker and isn't going to fold it on the river if he called the flop and turn.

well, i made up a couple of the bb...finally, 2ndpair stopped hitting out on my toppair...after being 120bb in the hole, i'm ending the day at a total of -68bb, -4bb/100, since starting last night. still getting used to multitabling limit, still getting used to pokertracker...still need a helluva lot of help i've read through sshe, but i don't own it, so i'm probably going to buy it and reread it...out of curiosity, what's everyone's biggest winning hand/losing hand, both net and bb/hand?
