11 BB Downswing? Post it in here! (Designated No Content Thread)

[DavidC]

Firstly, awesome thread title.

Secondly, I really hate the fact that PMs are capped now.

(How's that for no-content?).

Maybe I should have put these in a numbered list instead... Oh well, at least I got my "seperatory dashes" into this post. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So I did something pretty stupid today. I was playing 2/4 6 max at some surprisingly good tables and losing. So what do I do? I sit down at a 5/10 table (actually a few, but I wasn't at more than one at a time for very long). Man, that game is ridiculously laggro. The table I was at for the longest was 55/25 or so. Average. Anyway, I wound up winning 28 BB in about 10 orbits, which exceeds my net winnings in 13k hands of 2/4. I also got this hand out of there. I realize I don't get full points for this hand because I hit buttons other than bet and raise, but it felt good nonetheless.

I raise Granny Mae UTG. I'm called by the BB, who's the loosest and most aggressive player as I can quickly tell, but I only have about one orbit at the table.

Turn is the K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. BB checks, and I check.

No content, but I just sat down at a table when I had my first true maniac joining soon after. 98% VP$IP at $1/2. Someone else was at 57%.

Thank you $60 and bonus completion. Why can't all tables be like that?

With less than 3000 hands it's a small sample size, but so far I'm squashing 1/2 6-max flat as a grilled cheese sandwich (5BB/100). I'm chalking it up to the Gods of variance until time proves otherwise. And I'm finding Stars to have verrry juicy games.

Perhaps the most amazing thing about 6-max is that even if you're the PFR (or the PF 3-bettor!) there's always at least one opponent guaranteed to want to show down his K-high/no kicker or bottom pair. My goof in this hand was to respect the turn raise (hey, he could have K2 sooooted...):

Sweet! Nice takedown. I haven't had one yet but whenever I've seen on come down it was always less than 10BB.

The only fish bigger than MP2 is BB. Incredible.

Beauty. I think you maxed it. Too bad there weren't more pre-flop callers.

Did villian show?
