okay, I tried out Ed Miller's Short-stack strategy recently, with rat-holing whenever I doubled-up (yes, feel free to berate me), and went on a wild heater with it. This is the worse thing that could have happened. Thinking 'cool', I felt confident enough to play normal ring at the same level, WAY ABOVE my bankroll management levels (NL600 at 3K or something like that). This, coupled with playing with an 'all-in' mentality that seemed to have infected me from the short-stack play soon made me close to busto, and now I'm back to .1/.25 and normality. 3K->$80 the hard way, but back on the road to rebuilding my BR now, glad to say. So take care, all.

also:

Getting a fishtank this weekend. Toyed with the idea of a marine tank, but going to get a freshwater tropical instead. A belly-up floating clownfish is infinitely sadder than a dead guppy.

So what's the tops for micro again? 25NL or 50NL?

EMc

09-22-2006, 12:14 PM

50nl. But I think a deep 50nl hand could pass for SSNL.

I'm not sure why the dates are messed up in my pokergrapher for "total days graphed" but I started back playing cards with $30 on August 28th at 0.01/0.02.

Then when I took shots at 0.05/0.10 I discovered I still had $13 left over from rakeback from where I cashed out my WPEX when I quit.

Some hands are missing because I didn't turn on WPEX's hand history right away, but this is essentially a lifetime graph. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

CRUSHING me some microblinds, well on my way to $25 NL.

Be sure to look for the massive BBV post that's sure to follow later tonight, as I have no doubt I'll blow my whole winnings after daring to post this graph.

My new home for 50NL strategy.

While we're posting brag graphs...

http://www.coldaura.org/data/Hollywood.png

Started playing at Hollywood to do the RAF (I calculated the RAF at 100% rakeback). Then got suckered into a BonusWhores bonus for $300. Not a very nice bonus, it works out to about 50% rakeback, but I needed a change of scenery for a month anyway.

Gave 5-max NL HE a go, and basically applying the old Brunson-esque "I no one's going to bet this, I will" theory. I'm normally a regular full-ring player, but currently I'm still bewildered at just how often everyone lays down their hands to a bet at 5-max. Some rough patches, standard beats etc, but generally smooth sailing.

Posting some strategy questions here in the future...

Ciao!

There's several different programs that can do it...I used pokerpatterns, there's pokergrapher, etc.

If you wanna just do it in PT, go to the game notes tab. Make sure you have all of the hands you want to graph pulled up ("get all" button on top right of window.) Then, just hit the far right little "g" button on the top left of the window.

Edit: Oh yeah, make the # of data points=to the number of hands you're displaying if you want a representative graph. Else PT will just smooth between data points.

There are a couple ways to post graphs if you are using pokertracker. Pokertracker has a built in graphing program! More robust graphing programs (for PT databases include) PokerGrapher (for those with access databases) and PokerPatterns (for those with SQL databases.)

hi, I am starting to get really bored of $25 NL after 2 weeks from switching to NL from MTT's.. I am 4tabling it at a win rate of about 8 BB/100.. My roll is about $500.. which i've grinded up from $50 in about 10k hands .. anyways I was wondering if I should cash out like $200 in order to get a 2nd monitor to 8table. I find myself bored playing 4tables.. I have to watch TV or browse the internet waiting.. i am 4tabling it atm.. i'm up 4 buyins already after 2 hours.. anyways do you think I should get a 2nd monitor? thank you. I am planning on moving up to $50 NL soon, (I want to get up to 15buysin for the next level, drop down if drop down to 10 buyins) and i've played about 1k hands of it with a win rate of $50 NL 12BB/hour.. but i moved back down because I really don't want to break my bankroll management i setup.. thanks guys.

You can resize tables at party and stars. Keep playing and add more tables as you feel comfortable.

More than a few 2p2ers 12-table on a 17" laptop screen /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

My advice, don't cashout 1/2 your bankroll to buy a new monitor /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Winning Poker Strategies:

(As told by a WPEX table coach)

"Good luck buddy, I'm way ahead." *presses call button after I put him all in with 77 pre-flop because it was him and he was a donkey trying to squeeze a limped pot* After he tables QJs and sees the pot shipped to me he said: "You are terrible. I outplayed you, I was ahead pre-flop, you were a 50% to 49% dog, t hen on the flop I had the flush draw. Keep putting it all in with 77, I will win long-term"

Another table coach goes on to explain that my hand was a made hand and was ahead on all streets and that is why I won, to which he replies:
"Put the hands in an odds calculator, I've said my piece."
I went on to explain how I was the donkey and that he was way ahead by putting Jman's theorem of overs and outs to use.

Other table coach:
"You guys are terrible, raising it that big with AK, AQ, etc. You pre-flop raisers are pushing the same dollar back and forth."
This man's strategy is to call big raises with any two hoping to flop two pair or trips, as it is a well known fact that the further spaced out, [censored], and uncoordinated your cards are, the more likely you are to hit two pair (see A,8)

From the FAQ:

[ QUOTE ]
Q: What's the difference between Micro Stakes NL, Small Stakes NL, Medium Stakes NL and Mid-High NL?

A: Micro stakes ranges from $01./$0.02 up to $0.25/$0.50(NL$50). Small stakes is in the realm of $0.50/$1.00 to $1/$2 (NL$100 and NL$200, respectively). Medium begins at $2/$4 and peaks at $5/$10 (NL$1000). High-Stakes is everything above. Please understand that the amount of BBs in play is more important than the level you're currently playing at. A big hand involving two $1200 stacks at a $3/$6 table would pass as High-Stakes.

I got stacked twice in a short period of time, AA < flopped set, top two in blind battle < set. Then this hand happened:

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.50 BB (4 handed)

UTG ($72.15)
Button ($46.75)
SB ($9.05)
Hero ($68.60)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/club.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG raises to $1.75, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.25.

Flop: ($3.75) 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets $3.75, Hero raises to $15, UTG raises to $70.40 (all-in), Hero calls (all-in).

Turn: ($135.45) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 players)

River: ($135.45) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 players)

Final Pot: $135.45

Results below:
Hero has Ac Kc (high card, ace).
UTG has Jc Tc (high card, queen).
Outcome: Hero wins $135.45.

I think I should've bet-3bet AI, but as played I think it was still a call. This guy was near-maniacal - I figured I'd have 13 outs most of the time.

I've seen this discussed before, but only obliquely. Is this "just" a 24-hour marathon session, or are there other rules/requirements that go along with it?

No, you fold. Don't make a move w/ 33 when you're 50/50 against almost eVeRy SiNgLe hand, and crushed by the rest. If you really want to make a stand, do it with a bigger PP or something like AJ. You, sir, tilted!

saw flop|saw showdown

Button ($57.20)
SB ($67.90)
BB ($41.65)
Hero ($47.75)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/club.gif.
Hero raises to $2, 1 fold, SB raises to $8, BB calls $7.50, Hero calls $6.

This guy's reraise basically means he has like a top 15% hand, and the BB is a station, so not pushing here is moronic. For some reason I thought it would be a good idea to just call.

Flop: ($24) A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players)
SB bets $3, BB calls $3, Hero calls $3.

I think the odds of one of these guys not having an A is like 100:1. Problem is, it's probably like A4, and that's the reason for the tiny bet. However, getting 10:1, I couldn't resist.

Turn: ($33) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players)
SB bets $5, BB calls $5, Hero calls $5.

Ok great, so now I'm behind a T on the flop too. I guess one could have like KQ and the other JJ, but suffice to say the odds of me having the best hand right here are microscopic. However, I was getting 9:1, so I couldn't find a fold.

River: ($48) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players)
SB bets $5, BB folds, Hero raises to $20, SB calls $15.

OMG I'm suck a luckbox. Well, I'm pretty sure I have the best hand now. I can't even imagine what hand calls a raise to $20 and not a push, but for some reason it seemed like a good idea. He did seem weak, and I thought a sizable raise would look like a steal, but a push may spook him. In hindsight, that's the dumbest logic I've ever heard.

Final Pot: $88

Results below:
Hero has Qd Qc (full house, queens full of tens).
SB has Jd Ah (two pair, aces and tens).
Outcome: Hero wins $88.

Summary: running good>playing well.

Good that you realize you're screwed. Bad that you don't take your (very good) advice and fold. 10-to-1 odds on a 22.5-to-1 draw means you need to get an extra $37.50 out of these guys when you hit. That's reasonably unlikely, especially since they could have redraws (unlikely, but it makes the call even worse).

[/ QUOTE ]

Another great read, and another terrible disregard for it. You're burning money by the wallet-load with this call. Getting 9-to-1 odds on a 22-to-1 draw you'll now need to score an average of $65 extra on the river from these two rubes when you hit just to break EVEN on the call. Considering you have $31 left in your stack and BB has $25 in his, if you pushed EVERY time you hit your Q and BOTH of them called, you'd STILL be losing money on this call on average. Icky.

LOL.

It's like tilt but you win money for doing foolish things. Kind of like the donk at my table who CALLS all-in on a flush draw on the flop three times, HITS all three times, then takes his juicy, donkalicious 400bb stack and immediately leaves. This is all in the space of about 40 hands. Flaming wonderful.

I take solace in the times people slow play against me when they're already behind or drawing dead. I would post hilarious hand histories but they're on another computer.

Having said that, running goot>>>>playing well for looking at your daily net and sleeping well at night. I am going to hell for being results-oriented.

Sorry, but I was just cashing in some of my Sklansky $ IOUs. Seriously though, you guys took this the wrong way. What was really going on was that I had to hold my screaming son for a couple minutes while trying to keep 4(+?) tables going. My real decision making process was "reraised to $8...well QQ is good, and just clicking call is easy, so lets see a flop" then "$3 is cheap"..."$5 is cheap"..."hey, didn't that just give me a boat, I need to raise, crap can't operate the mouse and hold him so I'll just type something in...I have no idea what's been going on in this hand...i should have at least $20 left."

Actually I havn't played that much nl25 6max. I just came to NL (and thus these forums) like a month ago from limit and MTTs. I was really over rolled for nl25 (over 80 buy-ins) but started there, and ran at like 28 PTBBs/100 for 2.5k hands and moved up to nl50. I could have just been on a sick heater, but it seemed like those guys paid off every hand I had.

That's odd.
My PTBB/100 has been pretty much identical (namely 6ish) over those 3 levels so far. But then again, NL 100 doesn't count since I've only played some 2k hands there.

At 50NL I had a god awful run of cards for about 12k hands. If I ran like I did at 25NL, I'd probably have the same winrate or better. At 100NL I've been having some tilt issues and have no one to blame but myself for my poor winrate.

I disagree, he called 1/3 of his stack on the flop with 8 outs which aren't even full outs since you have redraws.

people start saying how bad of a river call i made etc etc and it threw me over the edge. because they didnt even know what i had. they told me i was drawing dead on the flop because he flopped the nuts so i just lost it on this one bitch. dont wanna look through all the hand histories for the exact convo but i did cool off. durng my berating i thought the guy who is EMc was 2p2 so i said hey supbro then we figured out we were both 2p2 and i appologized to him for what i was doing and let him know that i knew i was out of line by saying to him "i know i know, the parablae of the street vendor". and he said exactly and it was over with, but i still appologize to him for a dumb thing i hsouldnt have done

Starting a new challenge for myself. Party just gave me some silly $40 bonus. I'm going to see how high I can run it. Stop by and say hi. 'GrunchCan' is the name.

As of now my party bankroll is $40.72. I'm gonna play a few hands tonight (not many) & report my progress...

Wee, I /images/graemlins/heart.gif predictable donks. This guy raises 3x or 4x fairly regularly, but in the two hours I sat with him, he only mini-raised pf twice: with KK and QQ. There was much rejoicing and the inevitable stacking of a donkey in this hand.

I just winged it. I sat at nl25 for a while. But it was so annoying -- people would sit then leave and i spent half my time waiting for someone to play!

So finally I picked up and took my 37 or so dollars to NL50. /images/graemlins/smile.gif Here's the hand that did me in:

I'm dealt AKo in EP, I raise to 2. 2 callers. Flop comes 9-9-K. I bet 4 in to 6. One caller. Turn comes A. I figure I'm WA/WB, and if I'm WA any bet will fold this guy. Given my stack I'm ecstatic to felt this hand. So I check. Turn comes something like a brick, I bet 10 in to 14. He minraises to 20. Uh-oh. Not looking good for me. Ah well, I've only got a couple bucks left anyway. I push, he calls.

He had the 9 of course, but his kicker was a three! I think they were soooooted tho. Oh, and he had the button.

Back to the real battle... /images/graemlins/smile.gif

you must have some *truly* awful microbreweries near you.

microbrewers are like small wine chateauxs in France - or tiny artisan cheesemakers who make a small amount of something with much love and passion and consequently tend to make the best possible stuff.

Homebrew tends to flat out suck. (at least it did when I tried it - tho the Elderflower champagne I made once was awesome)

I had three good hands that had some sort of pot attached to them: flopped straight < rivered flush, 2-card J-high flush < 2-card Q-high flush (A+K on board) and TP2K < a set (I managed to not get stacked anyhow). The biggest pot I won was less than 40BB. Grr.

That's it, I'm outta here. Yesterday I lost half of my bankroll to monkeys.
The best one was a guy who was drawing to a straight on the turn despite my pot sized bets and made it on the river. A while afterwards he called my PFR with 22, flop came J66 (I had AJ), called(!!) my 80% pot sized bet and guess what came with the turn.

Now who's the bigger fool, he ignoring any concept of odds whatsoever or me calling his all-in.

See you guys in 2 weeks.
