So much to talk about...

And no time to actually do it.  I've been putting in a ton of hands recently and have found myself in a lot of interesting situations.

Fortunately a bit of run good at my shot at 100NL has given me a lot of confidence.  Now to keep everything in perspective and keep working.

The Overbet for Value

Been putting some things together and feeling better about my game.  Villian here is pretty fishy so as soon as he called my re-raise on the turn I figured the overbet for value on the river had a very high probability of being successful.  I think the chat might have gotten him over the last hump to click the call button.  Nasty cooler for him.  I'd like to think I could have gotten away from the flopped two pair....could you?
