[ QUOTE ] For example: I was flopping sets with pocket deuces in an 80-160 limit game, so I cold called 3 bets on the button with them and flopped another set. I could never tell someone to call 3 bets cold with deuces. Understand? [/ QUOTE ] For your own sake please tell me you will never do that again. The cold-calling part, not the flopping sets part. TT [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] I can't promise. Maybe I am too superstitious. Some days I run very hot and play cards that I normally won't play. I always play my rush. Most people would never play the way I play, but I maximize my winning sessions. It's something that has worked for me. I'm not asking anyone to agree with me, I'm just letting you know a situation where I did not play "normal" poker. |

[ QUOTE ]
Hi Jean, You say you've been playing for two years. In that time have you had the pleasure of enduring an extended and seriously bad run of cards? If so, how bad ($), how long did it last, and how did you deal with it. [/ QUOTE ] Oh yes, I don't know anyone who hasn't. It was in May 2005, I was playing 40/80 and in 3 weeks managed to lose 21k. I didn't have a substantial winning session. What I should of done was take a break, but I was stubborn. It was a good lesson for me though, I told myself that if I ever had 3 losing sessions in a row I would do the folllowing: 1. Take a break for a week 2. Play a lower limit 3. Stay home and play online |

Just be assured that doing that on a regular basis costs you money in the long run...not to mention a set of dueces is more susceptible to losing to mo' bigga sets (obviously) etc.

I never said I do that on a regular basis, you guys just reconfirmed why I do not post on strategy forum. If you were not physically sitting at my table at that given moment, your opinion is irrelevant. I can care less what other people think about my playing, I won a pot over $2k with a risk of $240. |

[/ QUOTE ] Hey, I didn't say that you were wrong in any particular instance. I haven't seen the hand nor would I have any clue the context of the hand. If you can intuitively figure out your total investment odds on-the-fly that accurately (in relation to your opponent(s) hand range, etc.), then you're truly good. It's just that most of the time calling 3 cold pre-flop w/ small pocket pairs is a no-no. If you don't hit, you will oftentimes muck it on the flop anyway saying goodnight to 3 small bets. And, no, I don't care if you think my opinion is irrelevent. I'm an anon internet forum poster. |
