Default Re: am i a tellbox?

At which Casino did you play?

I started to take a shot shortstacking at 2/4 offline(in germany) this weekend too.

To my amazement the standard of play was [censored] poor.

Although I managed to blow my first 2 BI(150).

First one was KK vs. 99+9 pf AI (donk says: I put u on AK...lol flipper)

Second one was AQs vs. 106o.
donk straddles, I reraise 5BB, He calls. Flop 2 8 6, He donks 50, I shove, he nearly instacalls.

Am I a tellbox?

I left gutted, but at the same time I was sure that I could beat these guys.

Next evening I took my chance, playing really taggish and got paid off several times, biggest pot was about 600€ with a flopped flush and a donk going for a 7 outer.

So far I finished all the other sessions with decent win.

I would compare the standard of play eventually to NL10 or NL25(no joke).

Jeez, even one or two players sat down who never played poker before (Yes, on a NL 400 table) and got [censored].
Also some loooose player donated about 2-6 BI on one evening.

My advice: Try to act slower, esp. slow play your mosters. YouŽll always get caller... If you play more youŽre def getting calmer and better, showing no tells.


On these stakes competent online-players got such a huuuuge edge.
