Meh. I'm probably close to 200k hands of micros and in that time I've capped every street once. Buy in whatever the machine gives you when you sit down. Reload whenever.

Post the hand plz. I've gone 11.5 BB before (quad tens over Kings full FTW) but never the perfect dozen.

Actually, I think I wimped out on the river and only 3-bet it. I think I posted it before but my search foo is lacking tonight. It was at Party .5/1 with a classic maniac who was raising everything so I LRR AA from EP because I knew he would raise and I'm pretty sure it was capped 4 or 5 ways pre-flop, flop was paired and raggy and no one improved after that, I don't think they folded either. It was nice.

I just had a niner I could have capped in hindsight but I thought I was beat and made the call on the river.

Can't say I blame you. If you were HU with SB you probably don't even make it to 9 BB, but the presence of the idiot made him overplay his AA.

Also, buddylist MP immediately.

I don't understand this very well, are you saying that you buyin for 20 BB, but only have 5BB more in your pocket?
Meaning that you take 25BB to the casino? That's not very much.

In a cardroom I usually buy-in for a rack of whatever (1$ for 3/6,4/8, $2 for 6/12,8/16, $3 for 9/18, 5$ 15/30,20/40) and reload when reaching 5BB. Buying in for more is a rare thing at a table and I don't like to stand out.

knockonwood · #20 10-12-2007, 09:13 PM

Yeah...If im playing 5-10 i'll buy in for $200 and have $50 change if i start running bad early. I usually end my session live if I get down to 10-12 BB's as i'm prone to then tilt.
