**Offical uNL Microbrew thread: December (nc)**

[kabouter]

I hate you november! I was doing good, untill last 2 days, played more hands than ever, and better than ever. Still I managed to lose. I can't remember the last time I won with pocket aces allin preflop. Might as well fold them next time.
And to all the shortstacks.... please die. I raise to the usual $2 with pocket fives I get one caller then a shortstack goes allin $10... sigh fold. Seriously if you got less then half the buy in just get the f out.

Anyways I'm only going to play a real life freezeout donkament during the weekend, and I hope they have the button that makes me automatically lose every hand on the river turned off again.

And on top of all of that Ajax is losing too...

Here is my graph [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

8.83 is nothing to scoff at. Keep playing solid poker.

Would you be comfortable getting that 21/8 looking like 21/15 or even 21/20? As well as upping that aggression factor.

Nah most of the time I get too many callers, and most of them are shortstacks, I get no value from raising suited connectors from late position or raising low pocket pairs from early position. Offcourse I tried it, but most of the time I'm not headsup and if I am my cbet isn't working. And if I do hit my set I'm up against a shortstack, so I raise practically all pairs from late position, the higher suited connectors from late position 99+ from early position AK from early position A-J from late position.
When I got some tight players on my left I raise more offcourse. I suspect that this site is rigged though, no way someone with 50/3%/1.20 stats can be a big winning player... Compared to other players I raise a lot preflop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I did get another $250 of bonus on top of my winnings though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Kind of a beat that my bonus is higher then my winnings.

Or at least get a decent samplesize first

November has been interesting.



Complete with diagrams and everthing!

How do you post a full sized graph?
And how do you make the micro sign?

[Gelford]

Yeah yeah ... no offence K, but take it from a long time degenerate gambler.

Right now you do not play much, it is for fun, you sample size is small etc etc .. and basically the money you win or lose means nothing, so you are rightly having fun. Which is fine.

But ... !


You see, you are making it a habit to be result oriented over small sample sizes ... and right now, when you do not play much, they seem as huge samplesizes and you feel it is ok to do so.

The thing is, if you ever start playing more ... and perhaps at higher stakes where money mean more (even if they shouldn't) ... you will be in the habit of being shortterm result oriented
And you know, you are going to hit downswings ... and if you have that habit, it will break you. Not to mention most likely also induce some major monkey tilting.

Variance in poker can be sick, and believe me, there is really no need to focus on shortterm results and making a habit of it.

You also should be going YES! i got my aces all in pf, ok they lost, but they where all in pf ... power to me, I'm making money here!!!

That perhaps I just should fold them pf talk is destructive beyond belief.


Finally this is uNL with all the noobs, who may or may not know better. Hearing you talk like this might give them the impression that such talk is normal and well ... harm them as well.


I know that this is the low content thread and we are allowed to vent etc etc, but with moderation. I believe it should be for posting hands that either are funny or win big or community stuff.

Also complaining that you are in a downswing looking for support is more than ok.

But nitpicking over small samples and bad beats ... nah, there is a BBV forum for that.




This is my view and not a 2+2 view. It is also my usual rant, I know. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]


And no offense what so ever, I am just an old geezer repeating myself, but that is because I believe I have a valid point.


I've been talking about going to bed for ages now, better do. Night all .. and go stack some donks !! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

[MortenTA]
