just made another deposit and hopefully i'll actually post hands/ask for advice rather then brush it off. i got this money from wrecking homegames so it boosted my confidence a little. heres to not donking off chips!
anyways i'm turning 19, nothing spectacular. i'm proly gonna start grinding again since i went broke on FTP (played since i couldn't find help transfering) and still have enough to grind a certain micro stake on stars. so who knows
i have k4s, i try to bluff a nit who limps with only monsters. well he limped PF and low and behold he has KK!!! a couple hands later i raise with like 65 on the button and he limp/flats...he check raises my cbet and of course i fold. he flips over AA like a shmuck
another hand - i have q4o in the BB, like 25 people limp (just kidding only like 4 or 5). i check my option, flop is Qc44. checks all around. turn is a club. i bet pot, 1 caller. river is a club, i bet about half the pot, get raised, i tank for a bit and shove and he snap calls and i insta flip my boat (he had a flush)
one of the first hands, i have AQs on the button, folded to me, the BB only has like $5 in chips (blinds .25/.50). so i just put a $5 in the middle. hes like oh man i know i can win this...rambles for like 5 minutes about how i'm an ass...and calls with k4s. hits his k on the flop and holds
and the big hand of the night, i have A8o on the button, 4 handed. drunk guy calls. flop is 238 rainbow. he open shoves and i call - he has J8ss. turn is a spade, river is a spade, giving him a flush. but he didn't know he had a flush because he was drunk and no one else was paying attention (their friend was just in the hospital so they were talking about that). what?!
ok first of all i see the term "squeezing" alot, what does this mean?
these are for 6-max NL5:
1 - how often should i bet 3 betting JJ? if i am 4-betted, i know it's mostly player dependant but am i mucking a majority of the time?
2 - what are optimal stats? i'm 19/12 right now, should i loosen up?
3 - hands like a6s, JTs, JKs UTG...fold or raise?
4 - is it bad to always limp and never raise with 22 in any position EXCEPT the button?
i just got back from LA last night so expect some more whiny posts from me later, still looking for someone to help me transfer 80 from FTP to stars, please msg back asap
people open shoving and have hands like QQ KK AA everytime they shove. and then you waste like 2 and a half hours playing a tourny to get beat by one of these monkeys on the money bubble. like i just got 30th when 27 are ITM. so lamEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Fuck life! so next time, if there's 3 left until the bubble and I am dealt TT and said monkey pushes like 3 hands in a row, I am middle position in like 14th place, and he has about the same stack as me. i raise, he snap shoves, is this a call? probably never since i'm flipping at best but hey, i like to answer my own questions and rant endlessly because tournies are fucking retarded
