Official JUNE uNL **'`MICROBREW THREAD`'** LC/NC this way...

Ato + UTG = fold

[Chomp]

Boz/Ama...I was shocked looking back this morning that I had raised ATo UTG which is 100% a fold for me 100% of the time at 50NL. No exceptions. But I think this perfectly illustrates one of the major faults when you move up - pushing things and playing differently to your normal game. Quite what possessed me to open here I have no idea lol. Fear, probably.

Boz, just to say on the c/r hand, nah, I'm not firing again there. I c/r not for value but for meta, and as the meta move didn't work, I just give it up. I don't really mind the play too much TBH. And at the table the TP2K hand felt too weak to bet again. But thanks for comments.

June is almost over and the last 10k hands have been like beating my head against a brick wall at breakeven.

8buyin DS during the last 3k of it.

25k hands for the month and at 3bb/100. Too bad it is basically ruined by the last 3k.....

Couldnt imagine someone that could 1 table through that many hands and still like this game.

Totally weird. Played 800 50NL hands today, running a standard ABC 17/14/2. My 3 biggest winning pots were $83, $43 and $23. Simultaneously, my biggest losing pot was $11.

And yet, I ended the session only up $9! Yuk. There must have been as many as 15 ~$7-10 lost pots. Sheesh, that's nasty.

Meh, I get that a fair bit. You miss a couple cbets, then 3bet and fold postflop a few time... that stuff adds up. Wouldn't worry too much about it.

What's going on at NL50 PP?!? I never played in tables this aggressive...

Karp, the Party's over. Move somewhere else. Seriously, there are at least 3 easier sites/networks out there.

1. Pokerstars
2. Ongame
3. iPoker

?

Something like that, although in fairness I doubt Stars is easier than PP. But Prima, Ongame and iPoker certainly are.


Edit to reply to Karp: Yes. It is a no-brainer beyond description. Throw in RB and I don't know why anyone is persevering with PP.

I thought Stars was one of the hardest sites to play on?

[bozzer]

bluff,

click on your name, then show all users posts, then look for your microbrew posts.

IIRC your question was not answered.

IME $25nl is very nitty at stars, but their table selection tools are quite good so if you use them you should be able to find some decent games.

Stars $50nl is tight passive in my experience.

if you play $2-$10 stars is the best option of the big sites.

more like JOKERSTARS

Villain is the same in all hands - he runs 19/13/2 over several hundred hands, but today he's drunk or something, playing like a complete donk. Are these standard?

wildzer,

most +EV lines on some of these are debatable, but all your actions look +EV to me.
