first day @ 2/4- yay!

So my roll is rather large since I'm a BR nit who doesn't move up and I decided that I was either going to win lots of money by moving up and taking poker seriously, or I'd just come to terms with being a 200NL player making some extra cash each month.

I decided to take a 5 buy-in shot but I'll probably make it 8, assuming none of these are too horrible. What a nice welcome- I dropped 5 buy-ins in 600 hands!!

This is against a 50/17/5- I'm almost positive I'm supposed to just shove here, right?

2. This is vs a 40/24, seems really bad type of player. I wasn't sure what to do being OOP and figured he's prob semi-bluffing enough to make a shove better than calling or folding

I have about a million other coolers, too, but I know those were coolers. Just trying to see if these were played OK or if I should be able to get away at this point.

the second one you should definatly be checking and taking it from there, the first seems fine to me

aren't there a lot of draws to be checking the turn with here? at least that was my thinking.

Victor · #6 06-12-2007, 07:20 PM

5 buyins doesnt seem like a lot. is that supposed to be super rare? what would the limit equivalent be in bb?

Beanos · #7 06-12-2007, 07:20 PM

i don't understand a turn check
