Give it a try when you feel confortable and after a winning session @NL100 when you are confident about your game. Good luck.

By the way on the above hand I don't think vilain will do this quite often given his stat. I think the AA/KK l/rr line preflop sucks hard on most FR table at those limit unless you could make this move with random good potential hands like small pair/SCs. Given that hero has KK here, vilain represented AA and I think he will have AA here quite often. I do agree that I would have prefer a $26 raise preflop and a push on the flop in vilain position but it's still imaginative enough to be a very good play.

Awesome night overall. I usually 8-table over 2 screens and tried overlapping on the main one so I could 12-table. Looks like that's -EV for me atm as the graph shows (my only neg slope is during the time I was 12-tabling lol). I had KK preflop time out on me once or twice and a set on a raised pot timed out [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].



Some interesting hands:

Good slowplay?

I was reading about the internet challenge (or something similar) that hapenned a while ago on 2p2 where people would play way unerrolled at limit and go up asap and whoever got at X limit first "won". This would be quite nice for the NL FR forum.

For example, start with $5 and play NL2. At 10, move up to NL5. At 20, move up to NL10. At 50, move up to NL25. etc untill NL1k ? move down when down 1 buyin?

Just an idea.

I did this a long time ago whenever an iPoker site would give me a free $10 or $20. Here's some results. One was a limit shot starting with $20 at 2/4, one was a NL shot starting with $10 at NL50. Eventually I got bored and cashed out.

Any late night NL100 stars regs going to be putting in a session tonight and want to shoot the [censored] on aim, its gets pretty boring playing this late when all my buddies are sleeping haha...

Ill just out my aim name in the thread since I don't really care... RAH0725 (0=zeo), hit me up if you want to shoot the [censored] while we put in our sessions.

[Cry Me A River]

Craptacular day - Down 4 buy-ins and it seems like I haven't hit a flop in about 3 hours. At least not one that didn't hit somebody else harder.

And then, a shining beacon of hope...

What's up with your CO/BT open limping?

Is that standard for you (with certain hands) or is that b/c I was sitting in the blinds and we all know I can't resist getting frisky.

[RyanCMU]

Wow im getting abused tonight so far [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

[Cry Me A River]

Sample size.

These are my stats from today.

Hands on the button: 585
Chance to steal and raised: 47
Chance to steal and called: 1 (K8s)
Chance to steal and folded: 92

Hands at CO: 570
Chance to steal and raised: 53
Chance to steal and called: 2 (JTo, 44)
Chance to steal and folded: 158

I prolly just thought I'd raised a lot recently. Or brain farted. Or whatever.

Now that you point it out, I think I should be stealing more.

[D.L.M.]

dont cry about it. be fly about it!

[Mr_Donktastic]

I'm starting to think I should stick to Omaha Hi/Lo donkaments [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Especially since I can't seem to remember how to make $$$ at NLHE cash games...
