SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

First. Mods don't count.

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

My goals for October:

- 12-table the hell out of Party Poker
- Back to taking shots at NL200 by the end of the month
- Stick to full ring for a while, see how that works out
- Concentrate more while playing

The big thing I'm going to focus on this month is valuebetting. By the end of the month I want to be so thin you can't even see me from the side.

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

IS it October already?

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

I am not going to play like [censored] this month.
I will make Oct my biatch like Sept. did to me.

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

Who here multi tables $100NL at party (6m)?

Raise your hand. I know some of you are out there.

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

i want to run well...or even just average, for a week. just to see what it feels like. i dont care if he has 25BB or 15BB or 40BB he shouldn't be given special treatment party. i've had the most amazing small pot beats ever today. all-in guy has OESD hit a pair, or A high FD river A to crack KK. Or the old A high call a flop shove since he's short and always hits his ace. Unless my opponent foolishly folds against me they win- i dont think i win @ SD ever anymore.

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

also october is the new slowplaying month for me, since i've flopped 3 straights today and i bet twice and they folded. the third time they raised, i pushed and they had a higher straight. slowplaying may have saved me or even won me something. and that's my new plan.

Goals:
- Order my free big screen tv this week (thank you Stars!) in time for the hockey season.
- I won a free seat at the November WPT Finals at Foxwoods (thank you Holdempoker.com!) so I really want to work on my MTT game this month (also a big part of the reason I'm trying to step up my posting here in SSNL)

Cheese:
I think they've started the Octoberfest celebrations already!

River is horrible but my fold button is broken. Craptastic!

I run so fking cold it's scary live. Last hand I played friday evening at 20-20 PL.

I'm down to my last 700sek or so, limp in in LP with 77. Flop comes 79K rainbow. I bet near pot, get one caller who covers me. Turn T, I bet near pot, he calls. River J, he puts me all-in, I call and he shows Q9o for runner-runner straight. He had about 3.7% equity @flop, the livepoker-god must hate me.

Then I come home and get like 15 AA in 4-5 hours of playing online and add 6 buy-ins to my roll, sick.

Other then that I'm hoping to start taking shots at NL200 this month, I want to get a decent roll for NL200 before I start cashing out to play live.

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

I'm gonna carry over Keepitsimple's question at the end of the last cheese thread.
[ QUOTE ]
Keyzer, how do you feel 2/4 is compared to 1/2? Im planning on moving up in the very near future.

[/ QUOTE ]

At first I thought 400nl was like ridiculously hard with a ton of aggro players, but after a few thousand hands it just feels like any other level now. It’s harder than 200nl obviously, and I think the jump from 200 to 400 is probably harder than the jump from 100 to 200, but there are still big fish and regulars with big leaks.

One thing I've noticed is that 400nl seems to be the level where table selection really starts to get important. While there were good and bad tables at 100/200nl, there weren't many tables where a decent player couldn't hold his own. But at 400nl some tables are full of 27/20 types who never let you open a pot and are real tough.

Also some things that work at 100/200 just won’t work at 400, like limp/calling small pocket pairs UTG for example. There’s more of a need to isolate, like you’re on the button with KTo and CO limps, I used to limp with okay success at lower limits but it’s an automatic raise now. Plus you have to make sure not to just call LP raises from the CO/Button because a lot of TAGs in the blinds will squeeze with any two, which is something you don’t see much at lower limits. So yeah, it’s quite a bit different but it’s still beatable. Anyone else have anything to add?

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

I think just as general advice for anyone moving up to a new level is to move up or take shots on weekends, and especially weekend nights if possible(even like 6-9pm is good and you can still go out at night). This way you get the very softest games and quite a few donations, be careful not to bluff too much though cause you will get called a ton.

I find table selection is overrated. If you want to show a nice short term profit, then yes, good selection skills are very useful. But if you want to get a good long term profit, you need to improve and move up. Nothing does that better than sitting down with a bunch of 27/20 regulars.

Eh, not sure I agree. It's not like when you practice good table selection you're at a table full of 75/10 donators. There will still be tough TAGs and you will still play pots with them. There's really just no reason, imo, to stay at table where everyone is a good player. The amount that it improves your play is less than the value of the money you could make elsewhere (and more money = moving up, more play at higher limits, etc.).

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

Sitting down at a table with 5 other TAGs when you're not used to a level is a quick way to lose several buy ins.

Re: SSNL CHEESE THREAD: OCTOBERFEST EDITION

Sitting down at any table with 5 players that are of equal skill or better than you is just silly. Period.

Find a table with 2 - 3 terrible players and 2 tags and you will improve just the same but will actualy make money.

I dont understand the logic behind it.
