SSNL POKER [cheese] thread JUNE PT 3

[CanuckEh]

What is a typical hourly rate for coaching? I'm a proven 1/2nl and 2/4nl successful player for a couple years online, and coaching someone who is starting at low probably 0.1/0.25 stakes. Thx

I'm setting up a new desktop and I'm wondering whether it there is any reason not to run one 30" 2560 x 1600 monitor as apposed to two 24"-27" 1620x1200s? I play 6 tables at the max.

30" don't have internal scalers which is bad if you want to ever watch HDDVD or Blu-Ray movies. I'd suggest 2 monitors as that looks more balla.

I've said it before but if you can really beat poker you can definitely make more money doing something else.

I'm playing cuz I like the challenge; I really want to f**king get better and go beat Aba.

i went on a 15 BI downswing this month, and havent been playing too much as a result.. now i'm back to playing and I'm doing much shorter sessions and getting less hands in, but my results are a lot better...

bleh. im moving back down to 50NL. hopefully can prove to myself i can still win at poker.

my last 60K hands of 200NL im running at 1ptbb/100, my first 90K hands at 200L i ran at 6.66ptbb/100. i tried dropping back down to 100NL this month, and then drop 11buyins there. earlier in the month when i was running good i took a shot at 400NL for 5k hands and im running at 8ptbb/100 though.

i blame hud. ever since i got hud my results have MASSIVELY dropped. im still gonna carry on using it coz i refuse to believe extra information can ever be bad.

but im gonna play 20K hands of 50NL to see if i can still beat it. if i beat it after 20K hands, then ill play 20K hands of 100NL and see if i can beat it, and then get back to 200NL once i can prove to myself im still a winning player.

No offense, but I think you get way too fancy pre-flop. 4-betting T9o and then calling a 5-bet because you are "priced in" is not very good poker.

And this serves you even less well as you move down.

[Lordy]

hmm, seems like Party slightly reduced the rake on smallish pots.

Edit : or maybe slightly increased, dunno...

SN, pm me any hands you have. i'll sweat you sometime over skype or something.

I dont take offense to it at all. Infact i welcome the constructive criticism. I am here to learn, and have plenty to learn.

But if im 4betting 9To because i believe somebody will fold coz he is 3betting me light, dont i have to call the 5bet since all the regs will 5bet push with AK? And if AK is in his range then i have to call with 9T? Or am i misunderstanding something pretty basic?

Do you think its better to just 4bet push if im gonna get priced in? I dont see how it makes much difference if you 4bet/call or 4betpush...?

meh, yeah, i do the same as 4-bet/calling shoves with T9o i guess. its a high variance play, but if you can handle the swings then whatever. i've seen midnighttokr/carrot shove ai pf iwth stuff like JTo/KTo/A6o/etc

Doesn't mean its the best play. You have to understand the overall plan before making these types of plays. FWIW I think that 1/2 is crushable without getting out of line preflop. THe money is made because people are nits postflop and are easy to read.
