Default Re: ** Official August Chat Thread: The White Swan **

Wow, this is awesome. So I started playing online poker a couple years ago with a $50 deposit, dropped to $3.90 the first night, and then built that up to where I'm at now without ever going all in for my last penny. Because I pulled this off, I thought I was actually decent back then.

Nope. I guess I auto-saved the HH's, and I just noticed that my (old) FTP name is in my database. I played about 2500 ring hands (mostly FR and some 6max) and ran ~50/15/2.5. I middle-stacked every single level, and I couldn't fold two pair on any board. This is a solid example of an aggressive call...it's from January 5, 2006.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.25/$0.50 Blinds - 7 Players

Hero (SB): $34.25
BB: $20.15
UTG: $41.60
UTG+1: $39.50
MP: $50.00
CO: $28.50
BTN: $20.75

MP posts $0.50
Preflop: Hero is dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (7 Players)
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP checks, 1 fold, BTN calls $0.50, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.00</font>, 2 folds, MP calls $1.50, 1 fold

Flop: ($5.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $3.00</font>, MP calls $3.00

Turn: ($11.50) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $7.50</font>, MP calls $7.50

River: ($26.50) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $10.00</font>, <font color="red">MP raises to $22.00</font>, Hero calls all-in for $11.75

Pot Size: $70.00 ($3 Rake)

MP had 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (a straight, Queen high) and WON (+$32.75)
Hero had A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (a pair of Queens) and LOST (-$34.25)

Amazingly, I somehow correctly folded QQ 89 bets deep in a 6max game. But other than that, I played like absolute [censored] and ran +16PTBB/100.
