The Well: mosuavea
[ QUOTE ]
A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part of. He is shown a well and his guide says <font color="blue"> "On any day except Tuesday, you can shout any question down that well and you'll be told the answer" </font>. The man seems pretty impressed, and so he shouts down: <font color="red"> Why not on Tuesday? </font> and the voice from in the well shouts back: <font color="green"> Because on Tuesday, it’s your day in the well </font>. Well this is my “Tuesday” in The Well which will consist of Wednesday and Thursday of this week. You may ask me any question about whatever you like. Whether it is about Life/SSNL/Poker/Sport or any other subject, I will answer to the best of my abilities. Note: Due to me playing poker/working/time differences, not all answers will be immediate [/ QUOTE ] |

Two golf-related questions:
1. Who will win the Open Championship this week? 2. If you could play only one golf course for the rest of your life, which would it be? 3. Oh, and one more: If you could only listen to 5 songs for the rest of your life, what would they be? I am now done with questions for this well. Or at least for a while. |

Can you give a short summary of your poker career to date? [/ QUOTE ] I started playing .5/1 fixed limit full ring on Party Poker with a free $100 from InstantBanroll.com back in Novemeber of 2004. I bonuswhored my ass off at all of the PP skins, the cryptos, Paradise and did some minor caisno whoring and built a roll up for 2/4 limit buy the Summer of 2005. I ran poorly like many of the limit converts around here, Pokey, Grunch, and decided to try my hand at 25NL 6 max since my brother was having success there. After some adjustment, I played 75k hands of limit to the tun of 9PTBB/100 and moved past the 50s to the 100s with a comfortable 25 buyin roll. I had good inital success at the 100s and was rolled for a shot at the 200s by December 2005 and hit my first bad downswing, a few at the 200s and a handful more at the 100s. Leaving me just barely rolled for the 100s and confidence shattered. I moved to the 25s and regained confidence and went back to the 100s were I ran good again but cashed out waaaay too much for toys and havent moved past the 100s to this date. I hit a real bad 10 buyin downswing 2 weeks ago but have managed to earase that and turn a profit. Good thing I chose to have 30+ buyins or else it was back to the 50s! Little long winded but you get the idea. Cliffs for the nits: -I learn limit and bonuswhore for 8 months -I run not so g00t and change to NL -I play g00t again but hit normal downswings -I cash out too much to move past 100NL There [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] |

[/ QUOTE ] Most of this was covered in my other post but I will briefly do it again. 1. Novemeber '04 at .50/1 FL FR 2. Some BM, no real home games. 3. 100NL 6 Max at FT mainly. 4. Im as weak-tight as they come and will always be like that. I was never a fish, I have always been too tight for my own good since evolution. 5. No, I couldnt stay sharp mentaly to be a pro, the swings would get to me. I use poker as a nice side income for toys (iPods, trips, TVs, etc) 6. 6max is where its at, many more LAGS and maniacs but I have sometimes thought my tight game is more condusive to FR but in my limited attempts, I always return to 6max because I feel like jabbing my eyes out. |

Re: The Well: mosuavea
I've had pretty much the same route in hold em as you. From .50/1 FL to 2/4 and then got bored and gave a shot at 25NL. Now I've played 4k hands @ 25 an 6k hands @ 50 and the games seem to be very soft and I've managed to get a decent winrate over that tiny sample.
Now I'm eager to get to the 100NL and I've given it my first shot. I feel like I'm on a downswing and playing a bit too tight when I went to that level and now I'm down about something like 2 buy-ins. Game is a lot tougher but I believe I'm able to handle it. So what do you say, how big is the leap from 50 to 100 and how much can one blame downswing for variance or is it just me? I'm well bankrolled to 100 so that shouldn't be a problem. Are 800 hands enough to tell me that those guys up there are just too much for me? |
Re: The Well: mosuavea
do you think having someone in the well so often is complete over kill. sure the idea is really good and i'll read every thread, but I bet we're gonna start running out of questions pretty soon, and we'll see more OOT questions pop up. maybe have only two well dwellers per week?

Just have to get used to bet sizes. Variance is part of the game and you need much more than 800 hands to tell whether its you or variance. Play more hands, if it continues, drop down gain confidence and try again. I wouldnt move up a level during a downswing purely based on confidence level. 800 hands isnt even a drop in the bucket to tell whether youre a winner at a level. |

[/ QUOTE ] Thats actually all there is. Its split mid week, no weekend anymore from what I have gathered from AJ and others. I am the second this week (not counting dbitels) and it will restart monday and again wednesday. Nothing wrong with OOT type stuff its generally a LC thread anyhow. I see it as poker content with a mix of get to know the posters. If everyone had the same answers to all questions, then yeah it would be pretty lame but I highly doubt thats the case. Hopefully we get some HS/MS guys in later and some realtively new guys to see what they have to say. Its meant to be fun and spice things up. If it gets lame I am sure AJ/Grunch will pull the plug. |

Do you ever openlimp? [/ QUOTE ] Yes, I am not in the camp of never open limp, although I would never open limp from the CO/Button. In EP I will limp SCs and small pocket pairs depending on image and table conditions. My defualt line is to limp these but I will raise them from time to time. |

In all seriousness, I think this is a good exercise to A) know more about someone personally, if they allow, and B) know more about their poker style. |

Re: The Well: mosuavea
I will have to say for me the idea of " the well" has been very helpful and a great idea. Part of my confidence stems from comparing pats of my game to players who have been beating the game for some time.

I would say the forum overall is good, especially since AJ came to be a mod and installed the NC threads for people to vent it seems ot have redu ced clutter. Threads like these (awesome idea dbitel) have helped create a better atmoshpere overall in the forum.

[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] To clarify this: Mo and I (along with Mo's brother and his friend) played a nice session at Seneca Niagara a few months ago. After the session, when we were counting our pile of money, I offered to buy drinks, and there was one type of drink that I was recently introduced to. It's not that unlike an Irish Car Bomb, my college-days favorite. It's just a pint of lovely Guiness with a shot of Vanilla Stoli mixed in. Tastes like a dark vanilla milkshake; in February on a golf trip I drank four pints in 40 minutes. That's not advisable. The problem was, our non-English-speaking waitress brought us what was basically a dixie cup size glass, half Guiness, half Vanilla Stoli. So it was gross, and I was berated heavily. Completely undeserved. (FWIW, my drink of choice is a glass of Darioush Syrah, so perhaps Mo has a point anyway). |

Are you really weak tight? Im having trouble at 100nl and could use a whipping boy. (j/k) How many tough players have you encountered at 100nl on Full Tilt? How often do you lose to runner runner straight? Which side of the falls is better?

Id like to see Raymer win again because I have read a lot of his work when I was trying to play more MTTs but if your boy Luske won that would be awesome 2. I think so. Poeple play much worse when they arent focusing on playing poker but trying to murder their opponent out of sheer anger. I think this extends to other sports, see Zidane in the WC for a good example. Dude was a douche bag to him and he wound up potnentially costing his team the WC by throwing a wicked headbutt. 3. I would comfrtably call 40BBs here maybe 50BB. Beyond that I would need a read. These situations arise a ton at FT because of the 40BB defualt buyin and it has led me to not respect short stacks at that site at all.
