Re: July Low-Content Thread
Thank goodness, I was about to win some money while I watched Family Guy playing some nice relaxing 10/20 and 15/30 limited Hold Them, but I decided to let this happen to me about 20 times instead to make sure I lost some more money. I know I'm running great when before he even donks the river I am thinking to myself "this is going to be hilarious when he has AQ" even though nobody could possibly be so horrible as to play AQ so passively. I guess this guy would, he must have known he had only 2 outs so better to c/c down and then let me spew off some money when I assumed like a moron that TPTK with the nut flush draw could possibly win a pot. I'm not a PT guru but I'm pretty sure 32% W$SD is pretty good right? Especially when you showdown only 35% of your hands? Certainly better than the 1% I ran at yesterday playing live.

Re: July Low-Content Thread
Why the hell did you raise the river? I think steam-tilt is costing you a BB for every 5BBs you lose on bad beats.

Re: July Low-Content Thread
Because I have to give him credit for either making two pair on the river with the Q or to be retardedly donking the river with some pair that he's never folding and the retarded donks way outweigh the two pair.
The last time I was in a somewhat similar situation was this hand: Horrible lag fish opens wherever I 3bet AQ he calls Flop 78Q he c/r I call Turn 5 he bet/3 and call 4 River 5 he bets I think a while and raise he calls and shows QT His play is beyond retarded and he incinerated his money. In the AK hand if the river was a T or a J or whatever and he donked and I raised and he called which is a very realistic possibility I would have the dollars. It happened to be a Q so it happens to look like I spewed. I'm definitely guilty of putting in too much action sometimes but this definitely wasn't the hand where it happened. I'm glad there are so many other poor souls awake from 1-5am because I get really bored at this time of day on days that I don't play live. |

Re: July Low-Content Thread
[ QUOTE ]
I mostly play online shorthanded, so maybe that has something to do with it. In general, it seems like a tight/aggressive approach should do ok in that game, no? [/ QUOTE ] TAG is always good but I play a lot looser in that game because of all the action. Also, I've been playing a bit of 5-10 6 max on FT for about a month or so. It took me a bit to adjust but now I'm winning at it. IMO, the strategies needed to beat that game are very different from those needed to beat a full ring live game. So different that it may be the reason for your problem, I'm not sure. I think you should try posting some hands. The players on here (very expert and I'm not including me) are generous in the extreme in sharing their knowledge. |

[img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] I'm down 115 big bets over my last 24.5 hours at CAZ 20. Is this a standard downswing for such a retarded game? Seriously [/ QUOTE ] If it was a game of retared weak tights that would be very bad. But that's not what the game is. You can't protect a good hand. I went there about a week ago with friend. I was up about 60 big bets, friend down about 75 big bets, and this was only about a five hour session. |
