ahnuld,

i know im only an avg-above avg reg at 5/10. however im pretty confident my true winrate at 5/10 should be at least 2bb/100. before this downswing i was running below averageish (imo) and i was still maintaining 2.5bb/100 (with probably 10-11 tables avg) or so over a decent but not great sample (60kish hands i think). aynways besidse running bad i've also been playing pretty poorly (and had horrible timign) through this stretch so maybe 30 buyins could have been avoided

anyways all, tahnks for the kind words, and 3/6 here i come

vpenguin,

I still think you should play a few thousand at 10/20. Will help you focus and who knows could hit a heater.

yeah don't play 3/6. unless it's this weekend, i'm taking the weekend off.

penguin,

if running bad, play 3/6 nl. But ya, I do feel you should run at 3-4ptbb/100. I didnt mean to insinuate you are a bad player, I think you are up there, just not among the most profitable.

Villain is a like 20/12 or something maybe standard TAG who probably thinks he's better than me but really isn't. If I call this, am I a calling station or a sweet hand reader?

You may choose only one.

If running bad move up. I ran bad at 10/20 and moved up to 25/50 and kicked ass. I mean you have to run hot eventually right?

My new thing when running bad is moving up AND playing a new game.

My tilty [censored] played 10/20 PL omaha, first, 3-handed with some dude and Lindgren. then lindgren bounces, and I played HU. Then David Chiu came in, and lost like 5k. I was only up $350 at the end as the other dude at the table made a killing.

So, yeah, play 25/50 Omaha you pussy.

[Bukem_]

Villains makes a raise that so obviously represents the scare card that just showed up.

Am I the only one dumb enough to think villain is doing this to get me to fold and end up pushing/calling down vs effective nuts everytime?

Vs most standard NL400 TAGs I think you are a station. They are very readable and make their money playing the nuts like it is the nuts. And gets payed off anyway. Thats how I make most of my money anyway. My line with a monster usually screams strength and people still make big calls. Maybe TAGs like to get more out of line vs you though.

I have no idea how to play Omaha but of course I sit in a 50/100 game the other day, get all-in preflop with AAxx vs AAxx and lose a $30k pot. Never playing PLO again.
