Hey Marsh, see if this sounds familiar: based on the previous hand, a guy appears to be in maniac mode, so another player calls his pf overraise pretty light. Apparent maniac bets out on the flop with a set of jacks, gets called and is sucked out on…(crap, I lost the hand history, but the flop was KJT, the caller called with AT, and the board came running aces…ouch).
Interesting three card sequence that cost me some chips, but brings up short-term image; something I think is extremely important online.
1: (A9o) I’m in the CU and pot-raise it because the table has been passive besides the plays above. I’m thinking I’m going to bet most flops if it checks to me. The flop is pretty golden, but flush and straight draws prevent me from betting anything less than pot, and I take it down.
2: (AcKc) The next hand, I get suited slick and apply the same raise…expecting and getting lots more callers this time. It’s hard to raise pot PF in back-to-back hands without at least a couple callers the second time. That’s good given my premium hand, but I’m feeling like I need to hit to bet the flop now. I miss, and check. I decide to bet after picking up the flush draw, and I take it down, again without a showdown.
3: (77) Two hands later. I thought his likely holdings were two big cards based on my short-term aggression factor, and his stack size wasn’t big enough to do any great damage, so I pushed. I probably shouldn’t have from a pure EV standpoint, but I knew it could still be an early-session image play even if I didn’t win me the hand. I’ve mentioned before that I’ve never seen someone reraise/fold PF at .02/.04, so I wasn’t counting on much fold equity. It was not 0% given my short-term image, though, since he could have been playing back at me light and let it go.
Well, now I look to use the image, but that pretty much means catching a hand and getting paid, or catching a premium pair and over-raising PF, and I can’t force either of those.
Check out seat 1 slowplay himself into letting a % shot hit runner-runner for the win. Nice! Well, you wanted him to make a hand he could call a big bet with…the nuts qualify, right?
An orbit and a half later, I haven’t been dealt anything I can use my short-term image upon, and now I’m thinking it’s waning and no longer means much.
(TT) Got this two hands later, but I don’t know if the PF calls had anything to do with the image generated by the three-hand sequence above.

I just now realized that I had chat turned off on this machine, which is not a good thing to do when you are trying to assess your short-term image. Was wondering why there was so little chat.
Funny, I got KQ back-to-back with T87, two-suited flops. Tripper called himself along to the nuts with KQ; we would have chopped, and he gets a note.
Played shorthanded for a bit, but it dried up and I bailed.

None of the hands are viewable for me Ry. I tried it when I originally read the post, and took the advice to wait 'til later, but they still aren't showing.
Bummer! Looks like these hands are gone for good...sorry.
