+1. :D

Actually I take my notes in HEM, so playing hudless would also mean playing noteless, and that's a really bad idea.

Any reason you prefer to take notes in HEM over FTP?

I really like that the color coding shows in the lobby when I'm looking for a seat so that's why I ask. Although I suppose you could color code in FTP and take notes in HEM.

I take notes post-session in the HEM hand replayer. Can't do that with FTP notes. And I color code in FTP too, obviously.

first of all you should leave out results so it doesn't affect the responses you get

second of all your preflop 3bet is really really ridiculously small, you're not even allowing a small pair to make a mistake by calling. i would be making it .75 at the very smallest, but probably larger still. frankly i love playing against guys who make transparently tiny 3bets with AA. it's the wrong way to go for just about every reason

finally i don't see how on earth you fold to a ~1/3 pot donkbet with AA just because there's 3 other players in the pot. there's only 6 cards between them and 2 Ks left in the deck. someone could have a K sure, but that's a pretty bad fold imo. also a K is probably checking to the 3bettor the majority of the time rather than leading out. if you get that scared with AA facing 3 players then... uh, that's even more reason to not make such a tiny 3bet preflop!!!! you practically begged them all to call by giving them amazing odds, you asked for this situation

Yea, I guess even though I asked what people thought of it, I wasn't really looking for analysis, so that's why I posted the whole HH, no biggie.

As far as the hand, I agree that the 3Bet was way too small, I'm not sure what was going through my head on that one as usually my 3Bets are bigger than that. It should have been bigger 100%(even though I don't think with those players it would have gotten them out, but I didn't want them to go out, so point taken)...

With the postflop, I can't say I agree with you 100% though. I was getting great odds, yes, but there were two players who called a 3Bet(albeit small) preflop that were to act behind me with that strong of a board. I'm almost positive that had I posted the HH and called or raised all-in on the flop then I would have gotten some kind of response saying "Don't overvalue AA when the board is that strongly connected and it's obvious that you're beaten".

Going through PokerStove just now, I see that I was a 40% favorite to their ranges...

Is your entire table playing shortstacked? I've never played 200NL, but it looks like that is what you're playing.

Either way, if you had a bigger stack you could have bet $30 on the flop. That way you might even get a worse hand to call you....something like AK or AQ might even float you, or a pocket pair <JJ might think hes good there. By shoving I think you only get hands to call that beat yours? Maybe I'm wrong...its really friggin late and I've been up for over 20 hours now.

Yeah the entire table is short stacked.... PokerStars has these new tables for most of their limits that are 20-50BB, so for a 200NL table you can only buy-in for $40-$100 no less and no more..... It is kind of nice in a way, but sucks at times because in situations like this I could have made more money. I'm happy with the results though, I bought in for $80 and left a little under two hours later with $303.

This particular guy was calling raises pre-flop and pushing after the flop, calling with really bad draws. I wanted him to fold, but had an idea that he would call if he had a small piece of that flop.

They also offer 50-100BB and 100-200BB tables.... It makes it nice, because you can sit at a table with either all SSers or full buy-ins ect......
