Why you guys aren't crushing these Microlimit games...

I dont have the link to hand but a search on the forums should find a link to Abduls hold em pages on there in I think the post flop play section he lists the number of outs for each type of hand for both one card and two card to come, I have then next to each of these calculated the odds on those outs and have it next to me when I play, I can refer quickly to the list to get my odds and hopefully am absorbing the figures as time goes on.

Memorising is fine for some but others learn and remember through experience.

Major,

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

The biggest help to me in this post was the "if you can't handle the swings, take up tiddl-e-winks" comments. Too many times I've come down with MUBS (Monsters Under the Bed Syndrome) and folded my top pairs when flush boards come and to other similiar situations.

Thanks again for the insight and although I only have a small sample size I'm already benefitting from it in my low limit games. It seems that this take allows me to have more control of my destiny than I previously experienced.

I'd probably cap it since I'd assume it's getting capped anyway.

Hey Gilder. Good job winning that Aces hand but I have a few comments on it.

On the flop, if you had ended up all-in with him, I'm pretty sure hes a favorite over your aces with his Str8 flush draw and top pair. On the turn, you take the lead, but he still has plenty of outs and given the size of the pot call your all-in every single time.

In response to MK's post. I think this is something that needed to be said for a variety of reasons, which have been brought up by other posters.

Just wanted to toss my 2bits in and say thanks for looking out for us MK.

Dont know how I missed this post when it was first posted, but this is very, VERY solid advice MK, and even for those that may already know this, it is great to hear again.

I know that I for one will benefit from this post.

I truly enjoy these types of posts trmendously. When a strong verteran takes the time to write a detailed and elaborate post that can help those at the beginning and intermediate stages of their careers.

Thank you MK,

One of the really good posts where you learn a lot.

I personally credit this post and a few others by MK for helping me overcome my weak-tight tendencies. I guesstimate this post alone was worth at least 0.5BB/hr in win rate improvement at low limits.

I'm gonna hate it when MK's book comes out and all the fishies get their hand on it... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

They won't buy it, because they're fish, and they don't care. And if they did care, they'd have already read this post, and been at 2+2, and they wouldn't be fish.

And if for some reason they do decide to buy it, and read it, and they pay attention to what is said in it, they'll STILL ignore it, because they're fish, and it's fun to play in the way that is fun, not how some guy tells you how to play in some book.

I figured a bump of this post couldn't hurt.

Also what exactly constitutes a "big" pot?
