thanks.

1.) I bet the flop and go from there, a lot of people can't fold AK ever preflop. if one calls, i check/maybe call. if both call i shutdown. As played I think you have to call b/c you've induced a bluff
2.)I prob pitch w/o a very good read. You got to give a guy credit in a multiway pot like that.
3.)
a. I fold pre and I play much looser than you
b. I call flop and lead turn b/c it is a much weaker line than a turn c/r
c. You've induced a bluff on the river, call again.

if my memory serves me right you had a great run a month or two ago at higher stakes and stayed there.

Could you share your thoughts on shot taking?

[/ QUOTE ]

So the funny thing is that whenever I moved up I played looser and more aggressive. I played a nitty 19/15 at 100NL. I've played 30/25 so far this month at 5/10. My stats just kept getting looser as I moved up. I think I got looser because I managed to not play with money, but I played with chips.

Also, the villains I was playing against didn't know what the [censored] i was doing while i was running them over. Eventually they adjusted, and that led to a temporary downswing.

As for actual shot taking... just man up when you are playing well (not BBV style chasing losses), play one or two tables and put a tenth of your bankroll on the line. If it goes well, keep playing a couple of tables at most until you are comfortable. Don't play with money, play with BBs.

How old are you? Where do you live? What do you do?

Just some general background really.

Thanks.

why were you stuck at 100nl?

[/ QUOTE ]

I was playing too loose out of position. I was playing ABC. I was calling on the river b/c I GOTS TWO PERS LDO! I was entirely predictable...

My winrate at 100 was about 3ptBB/100. At 1/2 it was 5. At 2/4 it was 12.5 over 7k hands (siiiiiiick). At 5/10 its 6.74 over 43k hands. At 10/25 I've gotten coolered hard twice, so I'm actually down about 7k.

Hot run or clicked? Obv it was both. The biggest, most general thing I was doing differently is that I was trying to exploit individual players weaknesses instead of just doing what I always did in a certain situation. I would raise nits with ATC, cbet 100% if the villain was a fish who folded if they miss flop. Its really hard to verbalize. I just come up with a plan to beat the table (or one player if he is really bad). If that means I gotta play 19/15 so be it. If that means I gotta play 40/35 (wheeeeeeeeee!), I'll do that too.

Looking at your graph I wondered: After being stuck at 100 for so long, did that first $10,000 downswing $*@# you up in the head, or did you handle it pretty well?

[/ QUOTE ]

I've been through some real tough times IRL and my bankroll was never below 20k. It did bother me, but I could handle it. That 10k downswing happened in one night btw, I kept playing and finished down 2k. So not all so bad.

I played .5/1 foreeevvverr. I started moving up this January and have flown up to 5/10 and 10/25

[/ QUOTE ]

Try to describe in one sentence exactly how this happens. Seems rediculously incredible to me.

Edit: Maybe 'surreal' says it best.

Honestly, the responsibility of dealing with this much money made me then uncomfortable. It still does, but in a good way.
