Lifetime graph is decent, but really nothing to get too excited about. I am winning money in general, but I'm not sure I'll ever be able to sustain a win rate high enough to move up to 100NL, even if my BR allows for it.

You must be in the midwest whyzze, these are all the crappy pizza joints near by neck of the woods (Detroit), they all suck actually. If Pizza Papalis were national I'd say go there, they are awesome!

Where are you in Mich?

The wonderful City of Southgate, home of classy establishments like the Suburban 53 motel, Nordix motel, 50 crappy chain restaurants and a walgreens on every corner.

What's your calling range in a MTT where, on the first hand (so you have no reads villain), you are in the BB, UTG pushes AI and everyone folds to you?

Re: ***uNL Microbrew Thread*** NOV 2007 (ot)
 

KK+, AKs

edit - lots of guys shove aces the first hand, and I don't really wanna go broke the first hand because I'm pretty sure I can outplay most people at the table.

Re: ***uNL Microbrew Thread*** NOV 2007 (ot)
 

im in Auburn Hills strangler.


Buddy's is actually the closest pizza place to me lol. I forgot about it too. Its ok...but they put sesame seeds on the pizza and that puts me on tilt.

Re: ***uNL Microbrew Thread*** NOV 2007 (ot)
 

How about Antonio's Italian Cucina (or something) in either Dearborn or Dearborn Heights, I forgot. That place has the best bread, ever. In the world. Seriously. It's near a Target and Applebee's iirc.

That one. Check it out, great food. Pizza is decent but it's a classy joint (for Dearborn), so the other items are better IMO. The bread though. Wow. It's unbelievably great. I'd often go there and just eat like 3 baskets of it, lol and no other food.

A good burger joint is Miller's in Dearborn... it's a bar that serves really awesome burgers. Legendary place in the area. Go there too. Kind of hard to find.

edit: You can tell I lived there for ~15 years, eh?

[/ QUOTE ]Heh.

Similarly I don't know much about Ann Arbor or any other city in the region. Just Dearborn + Deaborn Heights. Didn't really go outside of there to eat since there are a lot of nice places. Kiernan's for a nice steak or club sandwhich. Kawloon's (prob spell it wrong) for really greasy Chinese chicken. Obv tons of Middle Eastern food, which I don't like that much, but there are a few bakeries that make some sick good cheese bread type stuff. Not too much in terms of Mexican food... Don Pablo's (?) is meh. Taco Bell at 4am after you are done getting high ldo.

I should write a book on this.

Sometimes when I start getting sloppy I have to resort to a system an old limit mentor taught me of actually talking out every move that I am making, for example:

[ QUOTE ]

I am folding this 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] because even though I am on the button I will be cold calling one raise from a UTG raiser with noone else in the pot, which means my implied odds are not good and my equity sucks, so I should not call.

A wise man once said "It don't mean a thang if it ain't got that schwang!"

[censored] downsings suck, especially when you actually have to move down because there is that nagging feeling of not getting even fast enough.

Good luck pulling out of it man.

Re: ***uNL Microbrew Thread*** NOV 2007 (ot)
 

So...do I try the 35+3 Bounty, or do I sack it up and go for the 120+9 Bounty?

Currently I am in the 1+.1 Turbo...pure MTT shovy goodness.

Re: ***uNL Microbrew Thread*** NOV 2007 (ot)
 

At what limit does the rake become less insane? It seems like microstakes players get pwned by it.

Re: ***uNL Microbrew Thread*** NOV 2007 (ot)
 

If you are playing limit the rake is an absolute killer. I once sat with a guy for an hour playing like .25/.50 HU. Neither of us topped off (i.e., we each bought in for like $50 and never rebought) and at the end of that hour we had some insanely low amount between us (like $90).

EDIT:

Duh, I never answered your question. As I recall the rake started getting more palatable at like 1/2...it has been a long time since I have played, but I remember breaking up from .5/1 to 1/2 and noticing a huge rake relief.

Re: ***uNL Microbrew Thread*** NOV 2007 (ot)
 

I run bad at these $4/180s. AIPF with AA, villain flips over KQo. Flop comes QQK. At least going out that way is funny.

Well, I was just taking a shot, hoping to move up.. Guess not.

The only good thing about today is that I'll never have to see that FT lobby pop up whenever I close a table.
