Ok, in part 3 or something of monday's Poker after dark there was some really stupid hand. A bunch of people limps in, Lederer with TT limps in late pos and some ugly dude raises a lot with KQs to try to steal the pot, everyone folds to Lederer who reraises.
Did I miss something or is that really stupid? First of all, no one is stupid enough to limp with like QQ+ in a multiway pot, that's just wrong, and there's also a good chance that the last dude was trying to steal. Thus it's logical for Lederer to try to see where he's at, but let's look at it from the ugly dude with KQs's point of view.
1. He can't have QQ+ or a good A cause he'd raise that.
2. He reraised me.
3. Thus I'm probably at a coinflip here.
Now there's only one resonable thing to do, go allin, which was just what the ugly dude did and Lederer had to fold since he knew that he wasn't ahead but could be dominated.
"didn't you have a sick run to get to low stakes in the first place?
you should've expected some mediocre times to follow up the succes.." - Tycho about my ranting post about bad luck.
I was actually too stupid to realize that, and he kinda made me look at it from a different point of view. That might very well be the most important thing anyone have said to me since "She has chlamydia, God damn it, stay away!". Thanks a lot man.
I just can't seem to win an hand today. Down 4 buyins in like an hours or so. The biggest pot I've won was like 25bb or something. I'll just play some omaha again and do some schoolwork. It'd be very nice to actually run good for more then 1k hands in a row or something. God damn it! At least I'm playing somewhat decent and my roll is healthy. I've got a micro-limit homegame to play tonight too, which might be mad fun. Anyway, things always work out in the end, right?
Yea well, I hate running bad but this was actually so stupid that I found it kinda funny. Also, I'd like to ad that I suspect that one of the most important parts of playnig poker is to be able to withstand long periods of break-even or running bad and losing some to be able to be a long-term winner. It might take a bit longer before I can move up in limits, but my bankroll is very decent for NL50 so it doesn't matter that much.
Hands:
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/142184 <- God damn it! Hit! Hit! http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/142185 <- Stack sizes made the turn stupid, but I guess I could've pushed. I will, however, put that in the "OMFG DAMN IT BAD BEAT MOTHER OF GOD PLZ KILL HIM"-category. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/142187 <- I dunno if I played this good, even though I was ahead this time. Anyway, it kinda proves that the competion isn't that great.
Edit: I just figured out that I've got a big-ass leak. I'm a huge payoff-donkey. I'll work on that.
Ok so the liquidpoker-blogs have been around for a while now and I’d like to say a few things about them.
First of all, there have been some quiality posting from some people. Those photoshop-thingys byrnesam are really funny, Daut writes some good stuff and others have made monsterpost with some hands they played and such. That’s great and all, but I think that the best thing about the blogs, except the pics Hansen posted yesterday, is that one really gets to know that despite how bad you’re running or how many horrible beats you’re taking it’s just normal. When half the forum constantly seems to be on downswings I feel that it’s probably not that big of a deal when I lose 10 buyins or so as long as it’s not due to stupid tilt. Also, Joe told me that my stats were mega-LAG, so I’ll try to tighten up a bit.
New goal is something like:
Vpip: 30-35 ish, now: 47
Pfraise: 25ish, now: 34
Total AF: 4, now 3
The old stats are from my last 3k hands on NL50. I ran 14.86bb/100 hands during those but that’s mostly from a sick heater. My goal is to maintain +10bb/100 during 10k hands and then move up to NL100 again. I'm also very unsure of what the Total AF should be and I feel that I might valuebet a bit too little
More aggression, less splashing around with everything. I know that one can’t say that “those stats are teh pwnage, lol”, but I’d appreciate if someone could tell me if something is way off.
Ok, this might be the greatest display of tilt-inducing play ever. That all-in is just great, he knows that they would have to be crazy to stay with the pot!
Yea so I saw a quote of Gandalf over at TL and since I got a few bad beats earlier today (which is stupid, cause God is supposed to love me. I bet he's a fag or something) I'll just pick on Eric.
Gandalf impersonates exalted:
"I am in the 99.999th percentile of intelligence and will soon be in Harvard. I have 350 apm and will own you, newb. I can type at 450 wpm, thx. If you disagree with me, you are a fag, ok?"
So that's like correct n' stuff and I'll probably buy broodwar again just to get some games vs eric and show him what a n00b sweede who hasn't played for like 8 months or something can do. I'll probably just like 4 pool him the first game or so untill I learn the hotkeys and then like pwn him or something cause like God loves me so I'll probably just hit on some random keys and hope that they're hotkeys. That'll work for sure!
I made just over 12 buyins on 1.5k hands of NL50. I played some maniac-style and since I showed down junk pretty often ppl started calling me with anything. It was so sick. I played like 600 hands this morning to but I was down like 40 USD or something. Didn't hit much stuff and made a few bad bluffs. However, I do feel that I get better at reading people while I play this style. Here's some hands:
Vol put in the pot: 47.78
Went to SD: 26.5
Won at SD: 49.81
PF raise: 35.47
Total AF: 3.47
BB/100 hands: 27.57 (it was over 45 during the best part of the heater)
I'm pretty sure that's a bit too loose, but I'll find balance soon because I don't think that it's healthy to grind TAG because one simply doesn't learn enough. Also, obviously I've been running crazy good but I do think that I should be able to have a bb/100 of like 10 or more playing LAG on this stake over like 10k hands. When I've done that I'll probably move back up to NL100 and see if they're as weak-tight.
Ok so I pretty much suck and moved down too NL50 again. I’m doing good (almost 4 bi’s in 600 hands) and I’m trying to play semi-LAG.
Vol. put $ in the pot: 37.46
PF raise: 29.48
Total AF: 6
Anyway, I think that this might help me learn some hand reading skills faster so it’s all good. I wrote a song too, I stole most of it from Harry Chapins “Cat’s in the cradle”.
Talanted Tom arrived just the other day
He raised the blinds in the usual way
But there were donkes to pwn and they are gay
They learned to pay when he came their way
And he was playing 'fore they knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be all-in dude,
You know I'm gonna be all-in"
And the Tom in the cradle and the raise button
Little stupid donk calls and he’ll bust soon
When you raiseing me Tom?
I don't know when, but it'll happen pretty soon, yea
You know it'll happen pretty soon
Talanted Tom turned a flush just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the monies, donk, come on let's play
Can you teach me to suck", it said "Not today
I got a lot to do", Tom said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be so rich, yeah
You know I'm gonna be so rich"
