STTF SNG->cash thread

Ok, well bluefeet sanctioned this so I think I might as well give it a shot. I guess the idea since SSNL apparently sucks and MSNL ignores us, we'll just throw some cash hands in this thread and see what happens. I guess the only advice would be to try to wait until the discussion on one hand dies down a little before posting another one, or we'll wind up with a big mess of spaghetti. Which will probably happen anyway. Cest la vie. I guess the other solution would be for us to just takeover SSNL or something.

Here are some hands. I really really suck btw, so simply telling me I'm horrible won't really accomplish anything. Also I'm playing laggy because I figure I'll learn quicker wth villians are up to, even though I know it will probably be expensive. With the state of things, I figure I'll probably be getting a job soon anyway, so I don't really mind risking the roll at this point.

Oh yeah, by the time of most of these hands occurred I had established myself as laggy early and a river calling station. So keep that in mind.

Same villian as above. Once he won that big pot he had been reraising me or calling me in BVB every time. So I figured I'd limp here then call his raise. Does leading the river suck? Once he comes over the top, am I ever ahead on the river?

Ok this one is weird. DF_newbie told me this guy is solid. I was playing deeper than I wanted because this was a good table, I was getting ready to quit, and I absolutely did not want to get into it with him. He tanked for a while. I was soooo scared he would come way over the top. What would you do if he did?

Preflop I hadn't raised in a while so I felt the need to maintain my laggy image. On the flop he had been playing back at me a LOT. I was planning to lead the flop then shutdown if no fold. Not saying it was GOOD thinking. But there was some thought. Obv I'm going for the CR on the turn here. I'm never ever ahead on this river, and leading is bad right (in addition to everything else)? I show the results so you can see what this dude was up to.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Ok, maybe I was bored. But there is a style of play where you become known as a guy who will play any 2 cards, then reap the action you get. Again, OBVIOUSLY I don't have the skill to play this way. But it is a style. Plus I was suited. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

But it isnt. Not from UTG. Not at 1/2. Not if you're gonna play it like that. Going to get drunk, will explain more later/tomorrow.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

suzz, stats on the guy from hands 1 and 2?
3) is a river fold IMO. you dont beat a lot.
4) if hes indeed solid, and he believes you're solid then you can fold to a push there, i mean surely hes 3-betting anything that makes an overpair there pf and thats a pretty dry board what could he be bluffing?
5) id 3-bet this pf all day from in position especially with your read and him being CO.
6) LOL

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

#1 and #2 guy was like 35/17 or something I think. It was pretty obvious after hand #1 that he knew I was trying to get my BI back and he was more than happy to try to take another one. IE - he thought I sucked and/or was steaming.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

hmm. unless hes a nut postflop then id c/c turn and c/c a small river bet but fold if he bombs it in hand 1. hand 2 id probably fold the turn but as played i think bet/calling the river is fine, you dont want to fold 2 pair here bvb

the problem w/ that is your hand doesnt have much value outside of raising and taking it down w/ a c-bet on the flop.

not trying to be a nit but this is STTF... are they really that big of d-bags in SSNL? they seem to answer me most of the time if I try to make a detailed post.

That said, any kind of thread is better than the 34253546773 threads we've had in the past 3 days that are like "CAN I FOLD TPTK ON THE FLOP TO A CRAI GETTING 7:1 ODDS IN A $3.40?????"

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Al, we will discuss some of these hands tomorrow, but you missed out on a bunch of value in the AK hand and i'd bet the A9 on the turn.

But we'll talk more tomorrow. Hit me up then, i'll be leaving soon.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

AL - JK is ok, I may fold river though, looks like he beats you a lot here.

AK - bet river slightly more - $13 looks good.

AA - standard.

A9 - I'd bet the turn for value, still lots of worse Ax, worse 2-pairs, pair+draws that call us.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Also, SSNL is a really good forum. You just have to know who to listen to. Much like this forum really.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Suzzer -

1. Check turn. As played fold to the minraise. He's never bluffing and hardly ever value betting a worse hand.

2. Raise preflop. I'd usually fold to the river reraise, but calling vs. some is ok. River raises at small games are usually close to the nuts.

3. CRai on turn or just lead again. c/c is pretty bad imo. As played call river.

4. Calling is fine if he really is solid. I need a good read not to raise this though. If he comes over the top you have to muck.

5. I like flatcalling the flop c-r. I don't think he will call a shove with a worse hand. I'd call the turn bet.

6. Terrible all over, but you know that already I hope.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Suzz,

I haven't read the other replies, fwiw, but here's my take on the hands...

Hand 1: You could def. check turn but betting is alright, imo. As played you can actually fold turn, odds be damned, I think you are rarely ahead here.

Hand 2: Raise preflop, come on you said you're playing LAG! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'd also bet the turn as played. River bet is good, imo, and I'd proooobably go ahead and call the river, it's an unraised blind v. blind pot so he could have lots of goofy 2 pair hands... also you played this like donkeys play missed draws fo sho. So I don't think a bluff is totally out of the question.

Hand 3: I bet the turn there too.

Hand 4: lol I call the flop here a lot since there are virtually 0 draws. Standard wa/wb situation. If you raise, which btw is fine, and you get b3b I think he has a set. Like I said, just not a whole lot else he is playing that aggressively on a T52 rainbow board, especially if he is solid.

Hand 5: I'd 3bet the flop sometimes, as played I call turn.

Hand 6: Is this your Doyle Brunson impression pre?

"Preflop I hadn't raised in a while so I felt the need to maintain my laggy image."

That is really bad.

Rest of hand is lol but you already know that.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Suzzer,

You seem to play aggro preflop and on the flop and like to CC turn and river.

Definitely spend time looking at your aggro factors in PT by street. And spend time reviewing hands where you call down.

Street by street, I ran like 4/1.5/1.25 for a long time and I'm running about 3.5/2/2.5 now and my results are better like whoa.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Suzzer
1. Check turn
2.Raise pf,complete isn't terrible bet fold the river looks good.
3. crai turn
4. fine
5. 3bet flop
6. terrible just fold preflop you don't need to worry about maintaining an image raising pf here is awful.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

stevekuntz is so gross i really don't know how he wins he limps like every hand but i think still does decent and will make some bluffs

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

hand 1 fold the turn.

hand 2 you're done after betting the flop, raise pf.

the hardest part of cash for me when I switched (in July btw) was getting away from the "showdown" mentality I'd developed in STT play.

Also, when posting cash hands, its good to post not only your reads, hopefully beyond stats, but also your image.

Good luck with this.

lol, just noticed there where more hands, scrolling down is the nutz, more to follow.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Here's how most my threads have gone:

1) I make a post of a hand I found difficult.
2) I get a response or two from low post count people.
3) I wait for a bit, then reply to the responses which are usually bad.
4) My more indepth second post acts to bump thread and get better discussion going.
5) Finally, some (what I assume are respected posters) come along and give me some good advice.

Small sample, but that seems to be the process. If you get one respected poster to reply, others will probably have a look at the thread. You might just need to find ways of bumping it, without just typing 'bump'.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

hand 3 fold the river, maybe earlier if I looked closer.

hand 4 is fine.

hand 5 fold or jam after a flop rr. Usually that deep, I'd fold vs a monster draw where ur behind even tho ur ahead atm.

hand 6 wft? Your image is important, but maintain it from position. Really a lot more going on there, but the showdown syndrome is most obv.

uNL is basically a waste, send ur hands to people you trust on aim like Pastorbater, Prodigy or even me (lol). SSNL, read Jay's comments. I assume he is Jay1986 of old, whom I've really grown to like as a NL poster, along with the people that post around him in SSNL. SSNL is a great forum with less "community" feel then sttf, but its more business oriented IMO. He is very correct about knowing who is who on that forum, less then uNL, SSNL does have its share of short term posters. PM me if you want my aim or just pm me w/ your hands and I'll give you a modest perspective.

I've only played a few thousand NL$ hands in my life, but have just enough experience to see that Hand #1 is a classic mistake hand of someone switching from SNGs to 100 BB NL$. Sure, some draws are in his range, but also in his range are some hands you're drawing thin/near dead against. Getting most your stack in in these type of spots against that ugly range is how (other) people can have very high win rates in these games...

...I'd check the Turn most of the times, fold to most Turn bets if made, and to River bets on a Turn check-behind call a fair amount of the time, but probably not lead the River (see TOP).

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

Just an idea

Post the hands in SSNL forum and post a link here or in the [censored] thread.

SNG->Cash players can go and respond there, and others in that forum might give input also.

I plan on giving NL a try in Feb.

Different Jay. Jay1986 still uses that sign-in and I think he posts frequently in SSNL. Agreed that he's a good poster.

Re: STTF SNG->cash thread

FYI - hand #1 was KT, #2 was 56. Yes I payed of course. I folded #3.
