Re: Thac is tha nutz at mtts
I just finished up a ridiculous session. Afternoon classes were canceled yesterday, so I had the whole day free. Graph:
 Not gonna post any HHs, but I posted one a little while ago that was at the beginning here, the TT hand where I flop top set and lose to runner runner flush. Other hands: AQ on a Q-high flop vs. an aggro guy who cold-called PF w/ AA. Probably should have let that one go. AA < JJ AIPF. JJ < Donk's 53s (same guy from the TT hand) TT > JJ on T-high flop. This started to turn things around, guy cold-called PF, donked into me on flop and shoved turn. ATs > T9 on QJxK board. T9s > QJ all-in on QJ8 flop. The one that brought me back near even: 98 on a 98x flop, J turn, 9 river against runner runner flush for +$75. |

You gotta say to yourself at 1 point that ok i've been playing for a 1-2 years and i have like under 5-10k total winnings, i'm not going to be aba, action jeff, taylor, stinger. Well at least this is what i say lol. Once i graduate i'll fire up my 3-4 micro tables after work sun-thurs and hopefully make 500-1k a month and it'll be a nice supplement to my dog [censored] entry level position. WHo knows maybe hit a heater and finish in a rebuy or something. |

Re: Thac is tha nutz at mtts
I actually do think it applies to 6max also. Blind stealing is more important because you have to pay them so often in 6max. But still I will limp behind after one limper with small and medium PPs often where every 2+2er would tell me to raise it up. It depends on table conditions etc. But there is nothing better than being on the button with a lag or two in the blinds and limping behind with 44 and then hitting a set. Little cost, great pay off.
