Re: December Low-Content Thread
sweet electrical jesus that was brutal. i was going to try to play like 3k hands or so today and see if i had it in me. apparently i dont as i quit after 800. bloodbathed for a little over 4 buyins. for once the biggest pot i lost was total tilt/frustration shoving into the nuts instead of randomly getting coolered. i reserved that special place for the 2nd biggest pot i lost which i think i should have probably gotten away from anyway bc everyone in these games is a nit.
the good news is im able to pay attention to the action on 6 tables a lot better than i thought i would be able to. i think 23% wtsd/26% w$sd is probably not good heres the hand in question i think i should have folded. i would have shoved river if it blanked off and he checked but im guessing he was shoving any river, so im really happy i managed to make a straight instead of missing: PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) Button ($524.65) SB ($216.55) BB ($222.70) UTG ($391.95) Hero ($278) CO ($160.15) Preflop: Hero is MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $8</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $8, SB calls $7, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Yeah, that's pretty close in these games. The problem is that very few psychologies admit of playing a bare 8 like that. Are you c-betting too much, esp. in multiway pots? --Nate |

Re: December Low-Content Thread
no i check behind a lot. my main problem is more that once i start betting i dont stop until i have shoved the river. actually its more like i either cbet flop c/f turn or bet bet bet. the guy in that hand was pretty retarded so my thought process was that he could have a lot of random sooted 8s that hed shove, T9 he slowplayed, KcXc or something. i can honestly say i did not expect to see QQ.

OK, that makes sense. But work on that not-always-3-barreling thing. But you knew that already. --Nate |

For whatever it's worth, I'm convinced that the minraise is a drastically underused (by good players) move given the dynamics of typical games these days. --Nate |

Re: December Low-Content Thread
Sitting in a little business office in Cabo. Fun place to go with the family. I just wanted to make one post and play a few hands. I log in, play an orbit and win 5 bets. I am the king of mexican online poker.
It is a good thing there is no interweb in the room so I can actually vacation instead of spending all night in the degen-zone. |
