Official Stars Regulars Thread: Part II

Way to overplay your AA like you had AA (wait, you did have AA).


My apologies, I cry with you.

Lvanriet, thoughts? Only playing for a month now.. 25NL (yes sometimes I tilt)

[Sniiii]

You'll see me at NL 10 from now on after losing 15 Buyins on NL25 in 4 days. These type of hands have been happening for 4 days straight.

Downswings [censored] suck.

Implement stop loss? Once you are down 3 buyins or so, weather it is being unlucky or just tilt, close pokerstars completly, don't even play the hands out till the blinds hit you.

Hey guys, I am pretty much a lurker on this forum. Have been for a long while. The strategy here is really invaluable. I came across this thread and noticed I have played with a lot of you. I am TheConArtist on Stars. I play mostly 50nl atm. Was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on my play? I am prone to making too many hero calls and can go on several buy ins worth of mega tilt at times. Anything helpful though like basic errors or just general holes you might have noticed. I post on CR and p5s as TheConArtist also.

Here's a hand I totally misplayed from tonight against Sm0kelm who is MookBoi on 2+2 I think. I considered just folding flop since I really thought he had to have a set to lead into the field like that but I didn't trust my read and called down all three streets like a donk since there was really only two hands that beat me and I am a calling station that can't fold ever if opponent has to have a very specific hand to beat me. Most villains would check raise with a set here rather than leading so that swayed me a little towards calling as well.

Villain said after the hand seemingly mocking my call that he thought I was considering folding a 10 high flush or something, but I raised UTG, am I really going to do that with a suited ten and then call two large bets? Also my hand is exactly the same as a flush since villain will never have one here. He either has 33, 55 or I am ahead. The river paring the 5 just made it a lot less likely he had 55.

Gah I still should have folded a solid reg is never three barreling here vs my UTG raise without a set. I hate folding on the flop though with such a strong hand. Should I just call and fold to a turn bet? Seems weak. Raising the flop also seems to lack any value whatsoever. Bleh I dunno I tilted last night a lot and was not playing well. Calling the river when you can't think of a single hand you beat is pretty awful, just because you can only think of a few very specific hands that beat you.
