The agony and the ecstasy...

Two consecutive hands (on alternate tables) here. The first, a blatant misplay. Of course, I should have been more aggressive preflop and my monster draw is plenty good enough to justify calling two cold on the flop. I'm at a loss to explain my actions.

But I made up for it with the very next hand on my other table... although what exactly I was attempting with the slowplay is anyone's guess...

You "made up for it" with your limp in the second hand? Come on! You need to build the pot.

Slowplay. Mixing it up. Look elsewhere on the 53o board for a recent example of where I raised from UTG+1 (and eventually cracked aces)
