Thats where alot of lst months buyins went - 3bet AI with sets and combo draws on the flop...

I'd take more value + variance any day over less value and less variance.

I'm not sure I quite agree with you there.
I won't take every potentially EV play for more value with more variance. E.g. I won't coniflip 1/2 stack with say 99
vs an opponent thats pushing AI alot - high variance and yes prob. EV but I'll choose a more EV spot and stack him with TPNK.

When I meant marginal value spots I mean like TT when K lands on the turn or the river is a yucky card and I can't bet as much (or so I think) because I doubt villan will call.

I did c/r AI today with 88 vs a turn PSB (I had a read [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )
so I don't mind variance as long as it figures to be a good play.

Well with the right music on the background (seriously) I am very sturdy in regards to variance. I tend to tilt very quickly though if I feel I made a incorrect play. I can handle 5 suck outs in a row, but if I make a few incorrect plays I'll start to tilt in no time. Yeah my brain is wired strangely. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Where are all the American donkeys now? Full Tilt? Pokerstars? Absolute?

I'v never had a really high winrate -
6max NL25 was 7.7PTBB/100 when I 1st switched to 6max but at NL50 lst month I was breakeven over 15k hands - that wasn't flat that was up and back down for 10k hands then breakeven for 5k.

Despite all this PT shows 5ptbb/100 over all NL50 so it can't be that bad. This month a couple of buyins lost to overpairs beating my sets my winrate would be 8+.
Variance is HUGE over the short term and has more impact than most people who have only played a few 1000 hands realise.


(BTW I think one of my leaks is extracting value with marginal hands so the effect of variance on my win rate is probably to have more breakeven moments. )

I still believe NL100 is easier than NL50 on most sites. It's hard to deal with the aggression at times, but you're waaaaay more likely to get paid off on your big hands from what I've seen.

Do they have 6-max, or full-ring only?

Both, but I'm only playing on the 6-max tables.

Brag: I'm leave for Las Vegas tomorrow afternoon. Staying at the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel for a bachelor party.

Beat: I don't think I'm going to get the chance to play much poker.

Additional brag: There will be lots of drinking and strippers involved [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

6-max at Stars is a gold mine. I'd highly recommend it.


Does anyone here have strange dreams about poker? Last night I dreamt that I was delt KK in the CO, raised it up, and everyone came along. Flop comes AKT rainbow, checked to me, I bet the pot, get called all around. Turn is the last K, I shove, everyone calls and I win a 700BB pot. Next hand, I'm dealt KK again, raise it up and then the table is closed down and next thing I know I'm chatting with support because they think I'm cheating.

I used to dream about girls, now it's always poker. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

The best I did regarding dreaming is seeying cards flying around in my dreams with dollar signs on the background. That was after playing a monster session of ~10 hours where I won a lot for me back than. (about 30 dollars at nl5 if I recall correctly)
Nothing besides that.
