Home Game, were at the dealers choice part.

Ive had a roller coaster night, start the hand with like 35ish, cover both villains (one is short)

Playing follow the Queen 7 stud (Queen and card after are wild.)

The action ends up being a 3 way all in.

The hands

Short Villain- Q333xxx
Me- 99QT(which was wild)xxx
Other villain- AAQQAxx

THat sucked.

EM ever play Half Pot Burn, loser ( or losers) at showdown fronts half the pot on next hand in addition to blinds. 7 card Holdem, 2 cards down, 4 cards up 1 card down. Ask Mosuave about the games we use to have.

Default Re: SSNL [cheese] thread: JULY (nc)

Problem I'm having lately (any advice appreaciated):

I'm getting all in with non-nut hands against the nuts. The reason I started doing this is because so often people call off their stack (even tags) with top pair or two pair.

So, a few examples from last night:

I get all in with a set on a monotone flop against two opponents.

I get all in with non-nut flush hands on the river.

I get all in with a straight against a full house.

In each of these situations, my opponents are slowplaying. Two of the flush hands they checked to me on the river.


So I'm in a bit of bind, because I try to push any edge since people call with so little often. I hate to play scared or nut peddle, but my approach lately is costing me mucho buy-ins.

I think I've become more agressive than i was, say, 6 months ago when I didn't commit my stack with the 5th nuts. Also my winrate was higher then (I think). It's just that, in those 6 months, I've seen so much junk that people call off their stacks with that I now push with many non-nut hands, which might not (or maybe might) be a good thing.

Even on the river - where I usually follow the religious mantra of "only better will call a push" - I now push with non-nut hands (usually I do so because opponent is a donk and I say to myself, "well, he would have bet if he had the nuts")

maybe it's variance. i seem to go through this self-doubt, drop 5 buy-ins thing, once or twice a week

I rivered a Royal Flush last night at NL $50 on party. I've had straigh flushes before, but this was the first royal. I won $25 vs a short-stack who slow played their set on the flop, then min-raised my turn bet, and finally paid off their stack when I rivered the royal.

dazraf,

We play some sick games too.

Best is Probably themonuclear pineapple, with a river of blood. Home games can be fun when you have the quint aces, but suck when you have quad nines.

Ya I hear you, I fell in love playing poker when I first started off playing dealers choice and Mosuave's parents now every game there exist. It's funny though I miss those days of playing nickel and dime PL with 50 cent max [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
