Bad luck, don't worry about it.
The thing with limit is that hands like these will cost you muuuch less money c.q. lower variance.

I don't play PL/NL 5CD (yet) because I'm not rolled for it yet but also because I think it's much harder to put villains on hand(range)s because of the variety in betsizing.

How do you deal with that?

Yea I agree it becomes much harder to bluff catch because odds aren't really that as good as in FL.

Not sure how to deal with it tbh. not too good at PL myself.

ugh... what an awful cooler.

seeing as you drew 3 this is (imo) a slam dunk raise and fist pump call.

pl/nl 5cd fucking scares me. god help you. you brave soul.

I wasn't too happy about getting 3bet because there's a chance i was beat (by quads or higher fh). But of course he can play worse FHs like this so no way I can fold at all.
