Why is 30/60 such a nightmare

30/60 remains an absolute nightmare for me. Bad beats inside

Saw villian cap turn and river on another hand with top set on a flush board.

j/k

lol Cheddarmon, you bastard. I wonder why LuckyLu8 didn't raise more on the flop...

Probably cause he thought I'd call his three bet and call his turn bet. Instead he called flop raise, so he could check/raise turn to get an extra $30 out of me.
