EPIC FAIL!

You know, watching films, playing 6cash tables and 4 tourneys while reading LP sometimes back fires.

I suck HU :(

LemOn[5thF], Apr 13 2009

So I am a cash games player, but last 4 days I have always been playing 5-7 tables NL5 SH and always opened one tourney on the side.

Once the $36 in 5.50 MTT helped me to get out of a tilt and I am grateful for that.

Today I tried the 180Man SnG for the first time and it went pretty nicely.

I got some nice suckouts like
HERE:+ Show Spoiler +

and
HERE:+ Show Spoiler +

but one hand was really epic where I went for 40% of my stack and sucked out AQs with A9o.
I was the big aggressor when it went to 4handed, raising a lot of hands and garbage a lot.
This was ok, I know how to exploit position from playing 6Max and even with 3 people I feel very comfortable.

But then the HU match came, with equal chip stacks. I have no idea how to play this, especially:

1) The sizing of PF raises
2) 3Betting
3) What is my style and goal. I know how I play aggresive in position with semi-decent hands SH, but it doesn't really work as I must play garbage often HU and I had no idea how to exploit my relatively tight opponent.

So I finished 2nd, earning myself 14BI for NL5/NL10 just like that.

Tourneys are so much fun, I feed the Gamble I got in me in the later stages, adrenaline is pumping and its generally awesome, although poker skill is needed only at the final table.

If anyone wants to point me to some HU articles or wants to write the basics here I would really appreciate it I really felt my opponent was really bad and he just got there with total nit style all the way, but I played so badly he beat me quite easily...

P.S. Just to complete my Brag, Here is my last 4days NL5.
+24BI Including the tourney, I like. Could be more if I wasn't total fish HU ...

Great!

LemOn[5thF], Apr 10 2009

This Tilts me so badly, no c/bets working, TPTK cracked all the time and hands like this + Show Spoiler +

happening all over the place last 3 sessions.

I am still not used to fold to $2 bets in a $10 pot when I know I am 95% beat with 100bb, because all the monkeys at NL10 that raise with middle pair

Down to NL5 again...

NL10 SH first session

LemOn[5thF], Apr 07 2009

So I tried to go for NL10 today to see how are things and stuff.
And I must say I am largely disguisted.
Its like taking NL5 and stripping it of the decent bigstack people that want and can play poker.

Half the hands I play are either near shoves or immediate folds. People don't let go of anything including underpair on a overcard drawy suited board and as a result It seems that I just have to go for the Value Maximising approach, forcing the midstacks (There is like 20% people with full stack) To go All-in or near it in majority of hands.

I have a feeling that apart from making money this Limit is going to be extremely boring as I take out the awesome 300bb vs 300bb battles and am left with Just A.. poker (calling it ABC is too much).
Unfortunately this forces me to tighten up my range again. Bye Bye fun 45o openings I was playing profitably with 250bb+.

I tried some bluffs against the BigStacks at first, but they seem so perverted from the majority of players that they don't fold anything decent either, however hard you represent anything.
Well, Lets hope I can grind it up to NL25 as soon as possible, I saw from some videos that the bigstack percentage and percentage of normal people increases.

Gl at the tables,

LemOn

Kinda nice!

The All-in equity Graph

After those incredible suckouts and some heaters , the variance almost canceled itself out

NL5 is so much fun. Lots of fishes, and of course the few decent guys who usually go to 300bb like me -thats where the High Stakes Poker Style fun begins

I decided I will move to NL10 much later and only for a very short time to ease the transition to 100bb when I get the NL25 roll (I have been long rolled for NL10). I of course keep playing SH, fullring was just a wrong game for my impatient nature.

And as a bonus my sexy desktop:

Pwning Maniacs

LemOn[5thF], Mar 30 2009

You know these dudes. They didn't come to play poker, they came to GAMBLE. They pull a bluff here and there, but sometimes they have the hand and they stack somebody.

And here we go.. A cash cow, this dude has 400bb already and my mouth turns all watery.

So I of course cut tables to 3-4,buy-in for max and watch the dood.

But whats the best strategy to play with?

AQ+ ?
AQ+ and PP?

Open range to 25% in just light PF pots and destroy the clown when we hit hard on flop?
