Official November thread: General Discussion, Goals, Winrates, etc

AJFenix · #1 11-01-2006, 01:45 AM

Well, its November, aka my month of birth, so its obviously the best month in the calendar. I know I haven't been posting much, or even playing much. I'm kind of on hiatus until I move, which my current most serious consideration is Vancouver, as thats apparently the place to be in North America. I'm sure ill get back on track at some point, but then again, who says I am off of it if I am having a good worry-free time. I wish the rest of you a stress-free November, and plenty of money to those who put the time in.

Feel free to post the following within this thread:

Winrates
Goals
Best players/how others are doing
Personal stats
Coaching requests
Anything going on within the MSNL community
Any hands you want to share that you aren't really looking for strat advice on
Other general discussion that doesn't require its own thread

Alright, October has come to an end and it went pretty well. Right now I am very tempted to move up to 3/6. I'll prob jump back and forth between them. TY all you brown trout for letting me take all your money at 2/4 NL 6max on stars. PS. Playaplz, you never message me on AIM. If you are reading this, PM me. K thx.

For november I'd like to be comfortable playing 3/6 and hopefully show some profit. I'd also like to up my postflop aggression. On top of all that.. make more money.

Nice numbers for october. I play 1/2 and 2/4 NL 6 person max on stars. Do you play one table at a time or many? What do you recommend? How many hours you logging a week to get those numbers of hands? Any other advice for someone just beginning to play seriously... thanks

I swear Stars is the most rigged [censored] site ever. I have gotta be down like 20k lifetime. I put money on there so I could resize the tables on my laptop over thanksgiving break and i put in a session tonight and just get crushed.

These are just a few that came to the top of my head within last 1500 hands. I dont knnow how to put in hands when I lose every session I play. Besides the slowplay w/ AAA and one stack I bluffed off I just dont see how to do anything differently.

Besides the slowplay which others do you think are bad? I could obv 3bet flop or shove turn w/ AKhh hand but I have as close to a lock as you can get and am perfectly content to let him keep betting, though an argument could me made for folding river I am getting like 5:1

jsnipes28 · #8 11-23-2006, 03:44 PM

Beat: Friend wants me to play HU SNG for 20 bucks against him and I end having to play 3 more in order to actually get registered against him.

But I remember the golden rule of tournaments: Dominated Aces are like 3:1 favorites so I quicky finished off two opponents A9o>AQs and ATs>AJo.

Yves, this hand happened and then lukieplaya goes "wow, thats funny I just saw JJ lose to 77 on J77 flop."
