Made a 40 min. vid 2 tabling NL506max on Stars. It's uploading right now, will post in the morning! Nothing too exciting, but I think it is valuable.

Nice... How far is the morning?
Could you crosspost the links here?

[jonyy6788]

It should be uploaded within 1hr 20mins (2amCST). I'll stay up and watch a movie instead of going to bed and then I'll post it.

Great. Thanks.

Crazy day of poker that started off by getting two outered, but ended up nicely. Could have been big without the rough start, and a couple other bad beats, but got ridiculously lucky with JJ vs. QQ on 444 flop when A hit turn and case 4 hit river.

In the last 2 days, I lost more than 1/4th of my (tiny) bankroll. There was certainly a lot of bad play involved, just as a shortstack strategy that hit quite some bad luck. I cashed out, because that's what I do, when I tilt: I cash out and swear, I never play again. Then I calm down and feel like a wuss, because all others just keep trying.

So now I have some tiny $140 on neteller. I was playing on stars before. Where do you recommend I take it? I see lots of people posting hands from FT here. I've never played there. Should i give it a shot? I'm from europe so us legislation is not an issue.

Take it to NL10 on either FT (if you have RB -> Don't laugh if you get a decent amount of hands in you are still looking at a decent % of your BR in rakeback even at NL10) or Stars.

But I have yet to find a site where NL10 isn't populated by monkeys so you can't go wrong anywhere. I had an incredibly profitable strecth at IPOKER (Titan specifically). Not as many tables to chose from but horrid opposition and minitables.

Personally I've found the 10NL game at Stars to be extremely soft. See my earlier post where I value bet 2nd pair on the river. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

For the interface, support, number of 6-max tables, and player base, I think Stars would still be my #1 pick today.

so january has not gone so well for me so far, today was beginning the same way, i lost 50 cents real quick on a missed draw(5NL), then just sat for a while stealing blinds(thanks PAHUD, just got the serial today). after 100 hands of stealing blinds and being colder than eskimo coot, this little beauty pops up.

the villian wasnt getting out of line, until the few hands before this one. had raised preflop the last 3-4 hands, i called him down to fold the river with pocket 10's the previous hand hoping to hit. he was giving me odds and bet 10 cents on every street, same as his preflop raise. i had position on him as well. so this hand comes next, i smile and tell my monitor that i want him to raise again.

reraise since villian has been raising the last few preflops. that is my friggen button. should this raise have been bigger? i still have trouble with reraise sizing.

Flop: ($0.59) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.42</font>, CO calls $0.42.

ha, TPTK sucka, i ownz you. bet close to pot to eliminate odds for the FD, although i know you're calling so it doesnt matter.

Turn: ($1.43) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.78</font>, CO calls $0.78.

what a freaking ugly card, after the call, i figure i am WA/WB. perhaps villian just had some decent cards a few hands in a row, it could happen. screw me sideways. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

River: ($2.99) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
CO checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.02</font>, CO calls $0.95 (All-In).

and the money shot, i am WA or we are choppin like some friggen black belts. all in sucka, just in case.

Final Pot: $4.96

Results below:
CO has 3c Ac (one pair, aces).
Hero has Kc As (straight, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins $4.95.

A3? ship it.

on a side note, without PAHUD, none of my breakeven over the last 90 hands would have been possible. i dont steal all that often unless i see someone that is folding every hand and plays one every few orbits. PAHUD showed me the goods so i could play better. i single tabled for probly an hour just so i can get used to have the stats and quickly determine what is up with a hand, without letting the stats determine how i play preflop.(no limping with A4o just because OOP villian limps and plays 90% of his hands.)

Mmm. If you dont know how much to reraise preflop, reraise 3.5 times + 1 for every caller.

Flop bet is not close to the pot. 50 is close to the pot.

On the turn he has 1.7 behind and you bet 0.9? If you want to bet here you have to shove. Besides, Q is good for you. Gives you more outs against AJ.
