[James.]

reading this thread is guaranteed to make you smarter and run good in the month of May. limited liability guarantee, of course. also, if you act now with some quality low content you will get a free upgrade to be automatically better-looking. just go look in the mirror if you don't believe me.

I went from down 40 BB to up 50 BB in roughly an hour and a half. I'm so happy I made the switch back to limit from NL, lol.

I didn't play yesterday! Dang work + phone + training + NHL playoffs!

May begins tonight for me. Should I play SSLHE or MTTs? Oh cruel dilemna.

I'm going to go ahead and cross-post this annoucement from Micros here in Small Stakes. Basically, a number of Micro/Small Stakes folks are going to Foxwoods in May and you guys should tag along. Thread is here: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...umber=10066042

i need some good karma:

2/5NL

1st hand, just sat down at the new indian casino in my area:

limpers to me in the BB with 33, i check.

flop: 993r

i bet pot, one caller directly to my left.

turn: 9

i bet pot, caller calls

river: some rag

i check, he bets pot, i call

"Quads on Ten!"

doh.


i limp A4 in EMP, callers.

flop: A49

dude donks, i raise, he calls.

turn: T

dude goes all in, i call.

he shows 99

doh.

i get red aces on the button. i've had AK/AQ/AJ(i.e. PFR hands)a bunch in this orbit. i've raised them, missed the flop and eventually folded before showdown in basically all cases. i raise to $22 straight into 6 limpers, all fold.

doh.

i get QTs OTB. a LAG raises to $21 straight , 3 callers to me, i call, sb calls, bb folds.

Flop: AAQ w/two diamonds

checked to me, i bet 2/3 pot, sb calls, all fold.

Turn: Q

he checks, i check.

River: K

he bets pot, i call. he shows A5.

these were all in the first hour. i was getting crushed. i sat for about 5 more hours, played about two hands and then got doubled up and picked up a couple pots so i finished down, but not near where i was...i still hate poker, though. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I just got around to reading some of the earlier posts in this one. Why on earth are you calling his river bet in the first hand?

Oh, got back to the tables for a bit earlier tonight. Took down a 29 BB pot & still managed to drop 2 BBs for the 110 hand session.

I sometimes google my own name, and in that way I find hand histories of hands I was in from a different perspective. Like this one:

Preflop: Michael is Button with Tc, Th.
3 folds, MP1 calls, 1 fold, MP3 raises, 1 fold, Michael 3-bets, 1 fold, BB caps, MP1 folds, MP3 calls, Michael calls.

Flop: (13.33 SB) Td, 3c, Qh (3 players)
BB bets, MP3 raises, Michael 3-bets, BB caps, MP3 folds, Michael calls.

Turn: (10.66 BB) Qd (2 players)
BB bets, Michael raises, BB folds.

Final Pot: 13.66 BB

I am BB in this hand. So now I'm wondering what I had. I suppose it was KK.
