Feels nice, I finally have much over the profit mark on partypoker. Was about time... Dont worry I dont do that often, I will only call 1B if there are several callers before me AND I am on the button with connectors, or suited ace-rags or medium/low pocket pairs...
I was sick of winning only small pots with the SSS, so I decided I would continue to stick to it, but I would call for 1BB when the SSS tells me to fold and plays some more hands on the button...
I guess your going to tell me is that the danger with this is that if I call with 99, and the flop come 257 then Im going to think I have the best hand because I have an overpair for example. But I know better, I improved since I signed here and I know I won't do that, for me 99 on that flop would be the 6th best hand, so I would check/fold it unless Im first to talk (then I would make a c-bet and then check/fold). Because I know thats what dangerous with those kind of hands...
Same with suited ace-rags if the flop comes A84, I know for example that my A-7 is the 7th Ace-kicker hand, so its a trash hand...
