How I Won A Big Pot With Top Pair you pot? interesting. I call. So there I was, grinding for dimes and quarters ($0.10/$0.25) on the internet. I had opened for my standard 3.5x raise from the CO with Ah9hKd6s and faced a preflop three bet and followed by a full pot continuation. Vs a tight player, I would be worried about aces. But my opponent was not a tight player. So I decided to call, and probably to call down. I mean if you think about it, when you factor in my hand, and the board, a lot of hands that are going to be three bet pre aren't doing very well on this flop.

I need strict session discipline. Plan in advance what I am going to do. Don't deviate from the plan. Business Plan  My bankroll is $3,900.  That is 80 buyins for PLO $50. At $5,000 I can start adding in some modest $100 volume. Right now I can play up to 8 tables of PLO $50. At $2,000 I will start adding in PLO $25 tables, dropping to PLO $25 entirely at $1,000.sA
