So last Sunday I play for a little while my wife is at the pool and the daughter is down for a nap. I 2 tabled for an hour and got in 175 hands and made $34.00. Not a bad hourly rate, I must say. If only it could be sustained for an 8 hour day... It can if you know what you're doing. I'll get there some day. Here's a good hand/ situation that I recently started playing since reading and posting at Poker Dyansty.

Hands like this are where you can make a lot of money when you hit against aggressive players. Plus, it drives the table professors crazy when they see you raise with a hand like 5-6s. As long as you can fold when you don't hit, you'll be fine. I would advise against checking this turn, though. I just don't like giving free cards to anyone who might be drawing to a flush. Of course we both know the only reason you posted this hand is because you wanted me to see the three sixes :)
If it helps you sleep at night....
It's also a good idea to call a raise with these types of hands as well for the very same reason. I said I almost checked to induce a bluff, but I'm working on being more aggressive over all. This particular villain is a huge maniac and stacks off very light. TY for reading, NB
