Alright, guys. Once again, the NC thread has gotten too large for our benevolent advertisers' ads to be seen, so it is once again time for a new one. Jersey Tom gets the gold star for capping off the old one. I'll kick this one off with a hand from the 2c/4c Donktacular 2+2 table last night. With my stats at 66/61/1.4 and a WtSD of 39%, I inspired some pretty interesting showdowns:

I realize that losing 43 BB in an hour isn't worth talking about, but it still makes you want to kill yourself.

This is definitely in the running. We've seen some great open folds, but two in one hand?

Hmmm. Maybe we should have a contest...

OK, I'm back...

I actually think I may have been the biggest donk in this hand (because, well, I should fcking know better... /images/graemlins/wink.gif), though UTG is pretty, um, "special" too...

Not microlimit, but I felt like sharing.
Never stop raising with the near-nuts on the river in a capped pot, the other guy might just be a huge donkey!
I hadn't seen villian play too horrible before this hand. Maybe he though he could move me off a 3 or i was full of it. Or maybe he though his flush was good on a double paired board!

After a hard couple hours bonus whoring a new site, here's my graph for the day:

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/scrabblesmartie/detail?.dir=3830&.dnm=5114.jpg&.src=ph

I was playing at a great table with a couple of total donks, but they just kept sucking out on me and I couldn't hit a hand. Finally got 4 huge pots in a row with A8 (two pair), 86s (flush), AK and KQ. Never seen such a steep upswing.

Tough way to make an easy living, indeed.

Not to post content in here, but this flop action looks ideal for a little pump-the-pot 3-bet. Your equity here is dangerously high with 5-way action, and it looks like your opponents love to call.

But congrats on the RF, I got my first and only Royal playing in a NL tourney with friends. I was shortstacked heads up and went all in with A8o against my friend's AQs. I had the Royal Flush by the turn. Put him on tilt so bad he lost the tourney, even with his chip lead after my all-in hand.

I just inadvertantly got myself into an Omaha/8 S&G at full tilt (thought it was limit holdem). I have no clue. I did just win the high & low on the 2nd hand tho. Anyone want to sweat?

The aggressive style is soooo awesome, I didn't know how good until I got to UB. They have this fantastic Muck and Show option before the showdown that fills you in on how cool being the bettor/raiser truly is. So far I've seen profitable draws tossed away, Aces with a dominating kicker to my Ace. Everyone thinks they are the best player ever for these laydowns too. For example:

If you're last in the hand, can you show? After he made his great lay down and folded I'd just let my timer run as low as I could then show.

Two of us are taking 1/2 6-max way too seriously. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

True or false : If he's good enough to adjust to your bad hands and stop folding to your raises, he's also good enough to pay off legitimate hands more willingly thinking you're playing trash. If your opponents are adjusting, you adjust back.

Not to mention a donctastic first 20K hands at 6-max. I kinda didn't get it, but didn't realize it at the time.

I really like where I'm at though skill wise. this extra long stint at 1/2 has taught me a bit, and I know it will come in handy when I move up. Maybe I will breeze through 2/4.

Pressing the print screen button (or some version thereof) on your keyboard loads your current screen into the clipboard.

Then you can paste it into your image editing software of choice, take out the margins, reduce its size (I prefer 500 pixels wide so it doesn't screw up the message board for those of us with normal monitors), and save it as a gif or jpg. Post it on imageshack.us or other hosting service and viola... you have a pretty picture.

For some reason last night, my wife egged me on to play a $24+2, $6K guarantee NL tourney. I was shortstacked most of the time. Had not seen anything resembling group 1, 2, 3 in over 150 hands. Only PP was 66. So, I am down to 10BB at level whateva, and get AQ in the CO, and raise 3.5BBs. Donk calls from BB. (did he not see me raise since last week?) Flop is 89Q, two suited. He donks a 1/4 pot, I raise half my stack, he pushes me almost all-in. For some reason, I just call. Turn is a Q, still 2 suits. He pushes for almost all of my remaining chips. If he has a straight, so be it--I put the rest of my chips in. He turns over his AT for a gutshot, and a friggin J rivers me. I was busted, finishing 63/210 players. I knew I had to double up at least 1-2 times to get in the cash. Really my first big tourney. The funny thing was, I was ecstatic for the rest of the night, as I got my money in with the best hand. That's all that matters, bro-ham!

1) run hot
2) hit minor downswing
3) run about breakeven
4) lose until you're about even
5) start winning and never look back

This is completely NC. I was playing 2/4 at SportingBet and when it gets headsup theres no raise cap (kind of like the Cryptos i believe). Anyways its folded around to me in the CO with AA. I raise and only the BB stays and he reraises. Basically we raise and reraise till each of us has like almost 40 in the pot preflop. Finally I just called because the table was complaining and I figured we both had AA.

So the flop comes all blanks. I bet and he raises and we raise each other about 5 times until he finally calls.

Turn is a K. This scares me because I figure he has either AA or KK. I check, he bets, I call. River is a blank with same action as turn. He flips over KK and takes down a 35 BB headsup pot.

I was disgusted to say the least. Then I get cold decked the last hour and 15 minutes I played, end up busting out on a couple more bad beats and leave.

Some nights I hate poker.

i thought about what you said...

the pattern that repeats for me is:

1. run hot for <1000 hands. or at least feel like i'm hot, since the $s are doubled.
2. hit a downswing that feels major due to double stakes but is actually like 50bb.
3. spend some variable amount of time tilting/playing scared and being generally breakeven or losing.
4. start winning.
5. if this is 2/4, have a large downswing after 20k hands that makes me almost breakeven lifetime for the limit.

i guess i don't feel the need to specify a number of BB when i "move up" since i'm usually not simply moving up and not playing the original limit, but rather am transitioning up when i feel confident or when i find a good table...

my point was that you have 800bb at your current limit so even if you lost 100b at the higher limit you'd still have 600bb. (of course if you need the cash for something...then whatever...)

and also, you've "moved up" enough to know that the game is still the same and it's 90% psychological.

So I did something pretty stupid today. I was playing 2/4 6 max at some surprisingly good tables and losing. So what do I do? I sit down at a 5/10 table (actually a few, but I wasn't at more than one at a time for very long). Man, that game is ridiculously laggro. The table I was at for the longest was 55/25 or so. Average. Anyway, I wound up winning 28 BB in about 10 orbits, which exceeds my net winnings in 13k hands of 2/4. I also got this hand out of there. I realize I don't get full points for this hand because I hit buttons other than bet and raise, but it felt good nonetheless.

With less than 3000 hands it's a small sample size, but so far I'm squashing 1/2 6-max flat as a grilled cheese sandwich (5BB/100). I'm chalking it up to the Gods of variance until time proves otherwise. And I'm finding Stars to have verrry juicy games.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about 6-max is that even if you're the PFR (or the PF 3-bettor!) there's always at least one opponent guaranteed to want to show down his K-high/no kicker or bottom pair. My goof in this hand was to respect the turn raise (hey, he could have K2 sooooted...):

UMM what's the point of C/r that flop he can't suck me out*, I have the straight flush here, C/r the turn gets more from it and gives him a chance to catch something on the turn. The reason we don't C/r the river is because if he is on a draw he will pay that turn raise to see the river but if he's C/r on the river and has nothing we miss that extra big bet, since he is no longer drawing. And if he wiffs the turn and rive completely he may check behind on the river and we get no C/r. So the turn it is cause the turn it must be. Dang it I just put reasonable content in the NC thread, I suck at posting /images/graemlins/frown.gif

* The only real suckout that can happen is if he has specifically AKQ or J of /images/graemlins/spade.gif and the other 2 of those 4 cards come on the turn and river.

1/2 I lose a big pot with 9's full of aces to a guy with K9 for quads.

Wahhhhh.

Good news is after betting it down and being bet into on the river I had the good sense not to raise on the 99A92 board with my AK.

Only hand that he bets into me on the river with here is an ace or a 9. An ace is split pot so raise isn't necessary, and if he's got a 9, I get 3-bet and lose even more money.

Wahhh. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif Since moving up to 1/2 I've taken some big losses in large pots with huge hands. Somehow I'm only down 23 BB's after ~1000 hands.

I had no idea I needed to suck out -- certainly no reason to put SB on a slowplayed KK (but I did start to wonder a little when he capped the turn...)

at this table in 50 hands I had found exactly 2 places to raise before this and no places to limp, so anyone watching my stats would have thought I was the ultimate rock... I'm guessing that's why he put the brakes on with top boat when I kept firing on the river?

Looks like they just came out with this -- I took a shot after reading your post. It's pretty fun, but it turns everything you know about hold 'em on it's head. For example, you get AKo, raise it up preflop, get a few callers and the flop comes QJTr. You probably need to get away from this hand if there's any action at all...

Too bad I got pizownored playing it. Four damn times I had top set on the turn of the unpaired board, and the river makes a board straight (and of course, another time it pairs up and makes someone quads). Arrrrrrgh.

What really blows is I knew he flopped a set of Kings and would pay me off dearly. I'm not worried about him having either a Q or J in his hand. Especially not QJ. This a**hole had the nerve to say later at the same table that "PP always kills him on the river".

I had to remind him that PP saved him a lot of bets on this hand. He still didnt get it. Someone else at the table said "Fair that neither of you lost that hand" "F*** you buddy!" lol.

EDIT: I don't know why it disguised his hand but he indeed had KK.

I'm not sure if either my opponent or I played this hand so well, but it did sort of amuse me.

On the turn, for better or worse, since neither of us really had done anything to define our hands yet and I was obviously WA/WB (though I had a two-card straight-flush double-gutter), I decided to go to showdown cheaply, planning to call a river bet or bet if checked to. The idea was to avoid paying three bets to showdown when I was beat and also to possibly get one bet out of a non-flush hand BB might have folded on the turn.

I'm not sure this hand is entirely no content. There might be something to learn from it. I guess it illustrates the potential hazards of slowplaying and also of the popular check-call, checkraise flop and turn sequence.

Villain is 35/8/1.1 after over 200 hands.

When I first regisered at Party and went to the beginners tables, I went on a 140BB downswing.

Was nasty I know, for some reason I wasn't thinking about the hand at all...I went into shock mode and thought "I flopped quads, must slowplay"..

MrWookie

11-07-2005, 01:39 PM

Misplaying quads is a negligibly small mistake, but slowplaying too much can be a pretty big one, since you're likely to be slowplaying much more often than when you just flop quads. Play your hands fast, especially in multiway pots. If there are lots of donkeys willing to enter pots with you, as was the case in this hand, there are going to be one or two who'll eagerly call your bets with Kx, 66, Ax, 56, 92, or whatever.

Actually, I was talking w/ Nfinity the other day. He was playing on UB, and some table coach chewed him out for playing flopped trips fast. The TC didn't make him for trips because he played the flop fast, and consequently the TC put in way too many bets with whatever he ended up having because he didn't put Nfinity on trips. [/content]

Been playing for about a year and half and have progressed from 5c/10c to my current level, 1/2 full. All other levels I think I played an average of 7k hands each. I now realize that was hardly enough, but I wound up beating .50/1 for 8 BB/100 at 5k hands and thought I was hot shiznit. I am now at 30k hands for 1/2, 1 BB/100, and on my first bona fide -150BB downswing. Goddamn it hurts. I no longer think I am hot shiznit.

At my apex, I was up +450BB for the level and was thinking about 2/4. Thank goodness this hit now.

That said, the downswing inspired me to start grunching (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=micro&Number=2089249&fpart =1&PHPSESSID=). It's helping me to realize that yes, I have the fundamentals, but in the heat of the battle I often don't take the time to think my options through.

I want this to make me a better poker player. It will. But dammit it still sucks. Am I a 2+2er now?

Carry on.

This is an even more rampant mistake in 6-max than in full ring - I think more people limp AA than raise it. (Those same people crab in chat when they get cracked by someone who might have folded to a PFR.)

I fastplay and I find no one believes me when I DO have a monster. I'm going to shed a tear when I finally have to play at a level where people routinely fold bottom pair to a turn raise.

I played in the bet365 $30K freeroll yesterday.

I pick up Aces for the third time in a short time. I had won two small pots with the first two. Table is really tight. Blinds 15/30. My stack is about 1900. Villains about 1700.

1 EP limp. Folded to me, I make it 5xBB. Limper calls.

Flop comes 889. Villain checks. I bet 1/2 pot. He calls. I've seen him lay down his hands a couple of times so I really want him to call.

Turn is a 2. Villain checks. I make another 1/2 pot bet. He calls.

River is a K. Villain surprisingly makes a small bet. I push thinking he has K9. He calls and flips over 88 for slowplayed quads. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Next hand I pick up AQo. 1 limp. I push. Evereybody except limper folds. He shows A8s and wins by making a runner-runner flush.

This is why I don't play turnaments.

Oh, and btw, online poker is rigged.

I'm having one of hte worst luck nights of my life, I've flopped sets about 7 times only to have them lose.

Maniacs playing K6o against my AA are hitting runner runner full houses.

I've lost around 6 pots 20-30 BB where I was a huge favorite after the flop.

I'm almost scared to look at my results for the night (I use tilt blocker). I'm sure I'm down at least 50-60 BB.

At one table of my 4 I've played 136 hands and won 1, that's right 1 exactly.

Yea, as I was typing this I picked up KK and ran into AA, on my lucky table.

Update: To finish the night, -69 BB..... barf

I just got done trying that game at two tables. On the first, I thought I had it pretty well figured out, and I left while up slightly over 50%. Then I clicked in to one of the goofball tables, which 1) became shorthanded, and 2) featured from 1-3 people who would PFR with a ridiculous range of hands. Once you have fewer than 6 players, the oddities start piling up.

First thing I noticed was that if you get a straight on board with no flush possible, it's a split. I actually watched people bet and sometimes raise into that board. I suppose they might hope to catch people napping, eh?

I figured I had myself a minor gold mine, at least until people started figuring the game out, but the second table showed me it's possible to run really bad at this game, too.

Oh, and be sure to read this blurb, starting "Truly the poker game of the new millenium," on ROYAL HOLD'EM POKER (http://royalholdem.com/) .

I wonder how many people who play this know the history of the 20-card deck?

Oh, BLAH. A Broadway straight on the board with no more than 2 of any suit is a split in Hold'em anyway. It's very late and my brain wants to shut down.

Well, my 50BB shot (which ended up being more than 50BB) did not work out at 10/20. I think I played pretty well, and am chalking this one up to mostly running very poorly. So, I am moving back to 5/10 and am going to have to step up my playing if I still want to make my goal of $5k for November. Oh well, we'll see what happens.

edit: oh, and my loss since declaring this challenge was probably about 100BBs.

bah...turning 2.2bb/100 to .25bb/100 in 100 hands was almost worth it just to hit the cash out button on Paradise. my poker pattern looks like a nice square now.

This is a bad beat jackpot table -- I don't play there to hit the jackpot, just that I'm finding it easy to get juicy tables and I've been running hot enough that I don't mind the extra rake (hitting the deck like this never hurts /images/graemlins/smile.gif ).

Same session a few hands later. I didn't connect the pair of 9's at showdown with a flopped set, and I don't have chat on so I didn't notice the chat box erupting on the next hand. Got curious this morning and realized I had only been two outs away from about $20k. Damn that would've been a nice christmas bonus...

(the converter is confused -- there was no UTG post and it loses track of BB somehow)

Now I can make use of this thread.

Tonight:

AA three times. Busted every time. Once when it made a set. AK just busted on an AKx flop (two suited makes F)

Lost with Top Pair or better to a straight or a flush at least 9 times. Usually on the river.

As I'm typing this 44 calls my 88 raise. I'm betting into QQ5 flop and betting all the way. He gets 4 on river!

Just now! I raise JTs. 1 caller. Flop 894. Semibluff bet/call, turn pairs 4, semibluff bet/call, I river the nut straight. Villian has 88 full house!

I'm getting such hot cards on the table I'm on now I'm at 38/27 after 85 hands. (My regular stats are 30/17. I'm not tilting, I'm getting hot cards.) I've gone to 49% of showdowns! And only won 41%!

And this is all Short Hand! Blah.

At least I'm only down 25BB after 500 or so hands (and I've picked up almost 25BB in clearing bonus.) I think I've done well under the circumstances.

Why did you call the flop with the PF 3-bettor still yet to act?

[/ QUOTE ]

You know, right after I posted it, I thought this might be kind of an interesting hand.

My thought (right or wrong) was to wait until the turn to raise out the pf 3-bettor who (hopefully) had unimproved overcards. When the A came on the turn, I decided I had to be behind to someone's overpair and didn't have odds to draw, so I ditched it.

As for reads, I knew the SB/BB were both loose, but the MP had been quiet up to this point -- and a bit on the loose side. Given those reads, I probably should've capped preflop.

I think MP's preflop 3-bet was most-likely a mis-click, given the rest of his play, or he really does have a pattern mapper.

I misclicked and folded in a $100 pot on the river. This is my punishment for 8-tabling with a single monitor on 1600x1200. [censored].

Stars has such big buttons and I'm 6 tabling 1 monitor.

It's so annoying. I wish, PT would put this stat somewhere way down in the "more details"-summary and the AF upfront so people who don't know about sample sizes and stuff don't even get to know this stat exists.

PT could actually very easily calculate a 95% confidence interval, which would be sweet. it could be in a sub-section of the 'session detail' tab or something.

Ya there's overlap, my resolution can fit 4 with no overlap at all (one in each corner) with some minor space between).

When I go 6 I stack 3 each side, so it's 2 colums of 3. so the middle ones overlap a little witht he ones top and bottom.

Loosey McLooserson is 73/0 (yes, zip, nada)/1. He kicks in and calls down and usually loses.

Sooo...this made no sense at all, yet drips with irony. Internal dialogue in italics...

UltimateBet 1/2 (4-handed) converter makes me crazy

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif
1 fold, Button calls, Hero completes, BB raises, Button calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (6 SB) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif 9/images/graemlins/club.gif 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, BB folds, Button caps, Hero calls.

WTF? Limped pocket aces, probably, but if so, he's Losey McLoserson.

Turn: (7 BB) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 players)
Hero bets, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, Button caps, Hero calls.

Dude can't POSSIBLY have gotten lucky enough to have pocket 6s or 2s, could he? Maybe he's just pushing his soooooted flush draw. At worst we probably chop.

River: (15 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (2 players)
Hero bets, Button raises, Hero calls.

As it turns out, it was neither of the above, BUT...

Results (in white, for your wild guessing pleasure):

 Hero shows 3h 9h (three of a kind, 9s).
Button shows 5s 5h (full house, 5s full of 9s).

Even AFTER seeing the result, I still kinda kick myself for not capping the river.

I know I know sample size...
But in my last 5 sessions I'm down about 25BB.
My stats haven't changed (18/7.5/3.1) but I'm rarely getting cards preflop, almost never catching any part of the flops I see, getting drawn out (frequently on runner, runner) when I have a made hand, and never making my draws even when I have 14+ outs after the turn. In other words...

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH
