not sure im doing this right.

if i have low pairs, i'll keep them and toss any other cards to try to get the set or another pair with it. seems to be working more often than not.

This is what I do unless I have 3 to a RF, 4 to a flush or 4 to a straight, then I'll toss one of the cards from the pair.

Oh yeah, and BTW, the game room has been very good to me this morning. Caught 4 of a kind in LIR and made probably another 40-50k in VP. :D

I just wait til tuesday and hope the CCF doesn't sit by me. If I get lucky I get to take some men's BBs without begging or whoring myself out :rofl::lol::rofl:

was having a hard time in LIR so decided to try poker...havent done it very often.

also finding i wont keep 10's with face cards unless it is suited, and if i have a pair of faces i'll toss out other faces. not sure if thats best

Had a fair run yesterday but gave it back.

As the worst LIR and VP player I have no meaningful advice but over the past three days I did very well.This only proves that everyone can get lucky once in a while.I'm predicting I'll be broke again in a week.

One thing I tried that seemed to slow the rate of my losses in LIR was when making the max bet of 500 I use a combination of chip value to get there.I hope someone else tries this and reports any positive results......:)
