Just sat down an orbit ago. Just making sure im not being too much of a nit here, almost called to try and catch bluffs:

SB bets $0.29 all in, Hero requests TIME, Hero folds, CO folds

Any overpairs here ever? IDK. I probably shouldn't have flatted turn, maybe should have b/f

I don't love stabbing flop imo i would like to see a bit of a blank and hope underpocket pairs fire turn so that is why i checked flop

meh I think it's fine

It's very conceivable that SB backed into a FH/trips/straight or basically anything that beats AA

Flop I think a bet is fine since both players are short

I love the micros. The $.02 string bets are a thing of beauty. Not sure why you're wasting your time at that table, though. Only 3 villains all with less than 50BB. Not a whole lot of money-making potential there.

As for the hand, it's fine. Bluff-catching is a losing proposition in the micros because so few of them bluff. You can pretty much guarantee SB has at least trip 3's, and possibly rivered boat.

I think you can raise the pot on the flop and probably take it down most of the time. I know people are always afraid that this .02 bet is a big hand trying to induce a raise, but that's almost never the case in my experience.

hey haven't seen you in strat forum in a while! good point i noticed that, it was happening a lot in NLHE and i have stayed on the deep tables just so i don't have shorties moving in light on flops all the time. I hate having to try and deal with them. Good point i need to table select better!
