Why you guys aren't crushing these Microlimit games...

It was this post that recently had me taking down a 20BB pot in a 3-6 game. I had A8s, one of the players tried a fancy river bluff with A234x on board. One player called(with QQ), another folded (I think he had top pair as well, maybe a better kicker) and I overcalled because the pot was HUGE.

Had it not been for this post I probably would have folded on the turn or river.

Somebody has been hitting the herb a little too hard.

You know, I remember that section in SSHE but forgot it....I NEED TO RE-READ IT!!! I think this is a leak of mine.

Largely on the great info in this amazing thread, I have just placed an order for SSHE and GSIHE.

Thanks!

"Gutshot straight draw: about 11-1 (actually 10.75-1 to the turn, 10.5 to one to the river)"

You mean the odds to make one with 2 to go vs. 1? That's not right.

no, he means that if you have a gutshot on flop, you are10.75:1 to make it on the turn.

if you have a gutshot on the turn you are about 10.5:1 to make it on the river. This is because of the 1 less card in the deck

I think you're quite right in general, and I have been guilty of far too many wimp-outs.
One shouldn't take this as a license to ignore obvious warning signs (you drive TPTK
into a scary board against three non-maniacal opponents
and it comes to you two bets cold on the turn, for
example; don't laugh, I did this and got shown a
straight AND a flush).

Kicker trouble often means you played a hand that should
have gone muckety-muck pre-flop; I cured my addiction to
weak aces by sorting my pokertracker stats by BB won/hand
and noticing that AXo for X<8 was prominent in the
red-ink zone.

There are still plenty of cases where the cure is
a table change, though!

Well said!!!! I´ve allready won $200 thanks to u´re book (lot´s of money for a poor student [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]), so I would buy u a beer anytime! But what about a hand like this ( " http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...8086&page= " ). Is folding clearly wrong here?

Made a new year promise right now to fold less (after this post) and value bet more on the river. So...see ya in Vegas!!!
