My stats for March, so far so good...

Too jealous to respond. I have a decent win rate at PLO8 STTs, but can't make any magic happen in the PLO8 MTTs.

Any general advice on late-stage adjustments? I know you've discussed final 3, but I'm also interested in hearing from you about final 20 out of 200 situations, where most people are competent, some are super-tight, and others are going postal. If so, please open a thread on it.

did he misread his hand a straight flush?... I've done that...

bbartlog · #26 03-11-2007, 05:18 PM

I don't think so. SB in this hand has been playing a pretty aberrant preflop game (potting preflop with 5d 3h Ts 7c for example), and very aggro postflop though willing to fold when played back at. MP has been playing a fairly straightforward game as far as I can tell, raising preflop with strong low hands and AAxx. My reasoning as Hero in this hand was that MP did not have AAxx (else he would have 3-bet preflop) and that he must have a low-type hand, so his flop bet was much more likely to be a club flush draw than something like two pair. I was half-right; he was betting the flush draw but he had actually raised preflop with a non-AA high hand (first time I'd seen him do that).
As for SB, against most players I'd worry about some AAxx hand (who reraises from the SB with anything else?), but this guy was pretty weird preflop so I gave him credit for four cards (esp. since I figured two aces to be accounted for). I had expected him to fold to MP's flop bet and wasn't feeling good when he reraised, but given his previous aggression and weird play I just couldn't figure that I didn't have odds to call, since he was IMO about equally likely to have nothing, a draw, or a hand that was actually ahead of mine. As it turned out he had essentially nothing, which makes his play even weirder inasfar as bluffing me out of the hand would normally have gotten him HU against a hand that beat him. After the fact, I have to consider the possibility that he was a wizard of hand reading and had concluded that MP had nothing but a flush draw *and* that I had a pair of kings, so that I might give him credit for AA and fold, which would clean up his high outs against MP. Unfortunately for him, people adjust when you're a maniac, and I didn't get out of his way.

What's everyone's longest breakeven stretch in PL? Cuz I'm aobut sick of being 3-bet by middle set 3 stacks deep when Im holding the nut flush, nut straight, top set and getting out drawn (yes I have had people hit quads on me 3 times in the last 4500 hands).

I hate poker.

Mine is currently 23,000.

Well, I'm still down lifetime playing poker (lost $1200 when I first started, been winning for the past year at microlimits but still haven't made it all back). So my whole poker history (more than 100K? hands) is (less than) a breakeven stretch.

Hi. My name is Frank and I'm a moran.

* I love to underbet in order to give other morans the chance to catch up.
*I like to do that on multiple streets if possible.
* I especially like to pay off on the turn when I'm clearly beat, but have a handful of outs for half the pot.

Well, the less-than-pot bet preflop and the turn call are bad. I actually don't hate the smallish flop bet - it's sized so that you can jam on the turn if a brick falls (to force out remaining high draws), while still leaving you alive to fold if a 2, 5, or club comes on the turn. Of course this is assuming you can find the fold button on the turn; if you can't then jamming the flop makes a lot more sense. But you already knew that :-)
