I'm really surprised -10BI is supposed to be standard. I've only lost 10BI once ever, and I was on huge monkeytilt. Multiple swings around -5BI, though. [/ QUOTE ] You don't tilt that much then if you think 10BI is a lot, and you probably run really well. |

I also play pretty tight and don't get overly involved in preflop shenanigans unless provoked. I probably just play a low-variance style (SD/100 hands has been 40.2028 big bets according to PT). As to whether I run really well, I don't know. I was running slightly above expectation according to PokerEV, but not a lot. |

TBH, I think we're missing a lot of marginally +EV bluffing situations that we don't make because they usually cost you a stack when you are picked off (i.e. our Cajones are small and shrivelled). So let's say you've got a feel for it and you're making a lot of all-in bluffs where you're probably about +3-4 PTBB EV (on average) per hand (maybe less, just pulling a number outta my ass for illustration purposes). You're making a lot of money over the long term, but of course your variance is huge because you are basically swinging +/- a stack all the time. For me, I know it's a bankroll issue. I need 40-50 buy-ins to start playing like a want to play. For instance yesterday I opened for $15 with 66 in a live $3/$5 game and got 6 callers. Flop comes 693 and BB leads for $20 and gets a caller, I make it $120 and they fold. As this happened, it occurred to me that I should, of course, make the same bet with a [censored] shitton of hands, but of course, I don't, because I only have like 8 buyins for the game in my roll right now. Last year, before I cashed out to pay tuition, I would routinely bluff big in spots like this -- my roll was 25 buyins for that level and the money didn't matter as much. |

I need 40-50 buy-ins to start playing like a want to play. [/ QUOTE ] It's definitely not a bankroll issue for me. I've got ~20k online right now, spread over various sites. I should be moving up, but I still don't feel I'm really crushing 200NL, as I felt I was crushing 100NL before I moved up. I ran at 7+ PTBB over a significant sample there, whereas I'm ~4PTBB at 200NL lifetime. Maybe a much higher winrate isn't possible for a nit like me. I just don't think I have the right feel for spots in which I should be making those big bluffs. The thing about Stars 200NL is that most regulars really really hate folding. I should have a really tight image, and I'm still constantly surprised by what people pay me off with in certain spots. Spots in which I'll never ever or very very rarely show them a bluff. Earlier in the May cheese thread you commented on a hand where my opponent cold-called my RR from then SB, then check-called with QQ twice against my OESFD. That was a spot in which I show up with a bluff (or even a semibluff) very very rarely. I'm just not going to have a hand I can bluff with very often, and I c-bet into two players on an immensely wet board in a reraised pot! I decided to bluff there especially because of that, but I still got called, and really, I knew I was going to be called. I think I should've reverse-posted that hand, I really think everyone would've told me to fold. I have been working on some things to get more tricky, though: shoving flops against light 3betters with overcards/gutshots, floating in RR pots and double barreling a bit more. All plays that increase my variance, but I think they're +EV, both in the long run and for shania when I get caught. As an example, villain seemed like a pretty good TAG. Yada yada blind battle TPTK is the nuts, but I'm just never ever showing him a worse hand. I really think he should be folding AQ here, but most Stars 200NL regs are never going to! Until they do, I'm just going to show them a set in this spot every time.
