i forgot how much fun heaters are
 

So today I was thinking "Man, I haven't played limit in a while. I could use something to break up the monotony and frustration of these stupid Sunday donkaments*."

So I put in an early session at 15/30. That did not go well. I moved up to 30/60 and got off to a pretty bad start there too. So I put it back away for a while.

But around midnight, I got the itch again. "I gotta get me some limit action." So I found a guy sitting at 30/60 HU and went on a big heater against him. Then I put in another session at a 30/60 table and kept winning. And after I packed it in there, I came back one more time and won bigger than the other two combined.

Man, that's a good feeling. Here are the relevant numbers. Sustainable?

my advice is to raise a lot and then flop top pair or better
also it helps to get there with your weird backdoor draws, but that doesn't come up as much in NL

10k day, yo . . . oh, wait . . . stopped too soon.

Re: i forgot how much fun heaters are
 

i havent had an even statistically neutral run of cards in months. a heater would be way too crazy for me to ask for.

I'd stop after that sick break-even stretch at the end too.

But how much did you lose?

Re: i forgot how much fun heaters are
 

hm. that sounds kind of like my day.
i had a nasty red line in tracker and figured i'd get rid of it. it was only like -6bb, but the red color just bugged me.
300 hands at -20ptbb/100 later, i am feeling kind of unsatisfied.
oh wait, that was nothing like your day. wtf.

dude, shorthanded limit is great for that purpose! to paraphrase Homer Simpson,
"Bet, raise, call.
Bet, raise, call.
Raise, raise, punch.
Bet, bet, bet!"

This was pretty much how I ended up deciding to play some short handed limit while on tilt last night after a day of donkaments. It was surprisingly fun even though my results were not that good. I'll probably continue using limit as a tilt device for a while, maybe I'll even learn the game again.
