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:

HOWMANY--

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?

HOWMANY · #6 12-01-2007, 07:57 PM

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.
