finally trying to learn how to play pokerby whamm!, July 15
I've been working on my game this month so far coz obv nitbotting has gotten me nowhere as of late. 6max stnd old cardrunners brystmar/handchart tag seems to boring and dated too. Started 2 days ago upping some stats in my pt and plugging weaktight/leaks that really add up esp with someone like me who plays a ton, havent been playing much before two days ago, coz i just got to bored and frustrated with my nitbot style Fr 24tabling. Now I moved down stakes and really tried to improve/experiment/open up just so that it dont hurt that much, so far past 2 days have been very good, not heater or god like results, but im starting to love playing again even if do get sucked out and dont have to rely on the nuts every damn time to make money. cut down the number of tables to 12 in FR and am also playing shorthanded on some other site. feels good to be playing poker for the first time in 2 years lol. bye and ill update stats and graph by the end of the month. gl ppl
I also realized that BR should not be =/= stakes u play
I have to be good enough to play a limit i play, not coz im simply rolled for it. at the rate im going (i moved back to 50nl 6max and FR), ill prolly be good enough to start playing 200nl when my BR reaches 20k lolol
i played micro till i reached 120$
then i played 2 tables of NL100 HU buyin in for 60$ each
I did this till i reached 500$ then started to 2 table with 100$ buy ins from there.
now i still 2 table HU Nl100 with full buy in
So I am going off to college next year and just purchased a
MAC, was wondering if anyone plays stars on their mac and if the beta thing actually works well off the stars website?
Possible group lessons and workshopsby D_Zoo, July 15
Since I've said I was coaching again I had a really good response from LP members and am booked for full time coaching for now. However, I was thinking of possibly starting some group lessons like 1 or 2 times per week for players that can't really afford lesson packages from a higher stakes player or want a different environment or just simply don't want to spend hundreds per hour hehe. The lessons would be in groups of say 5 with everyone being invited to share off the same desktop sharing program and talking over a vent channel or something. I would host them and for the first couple at least play or review a video I made (the stakes will differ and depend on what limits the people who turn out for lessons want) where people can ask questions and hopefully create good discussion. The lessons would end with each of the group members sharing a HH that I would go over one by one and again hopefully generate solid discussion. If this is a success then future lessons would have group members play while I mainly give them a lesson while others watch and discuss as I sweat the person. This would esp work if there were more regulars week by week. Sign up would be a week in advance.
Workshops could also be interesting where again in a group format I will go over the concepts that I think are people' biggest problems. Examples would be: 3betting preflop:when?how?why?, Calling out of blinds, playing in 3bet pots postflop, etc. with HH examples or anything interesting I can add format wise.
Since this is just an idea and experimental the first one would be very cheap and we would just see how it goes. If there is a solid interest and it goes well then great we could continue. So post away or message me if interested. I thought of this since I didnt have time for more full time players yet still was getting interest in coaching and lessons.
Pros: very cost effective, group discussion might be better then 1 on 1
Cons: not 1 one 1, might not be ur limit so u might not benefit as much, others might hog the talking or in general be idiots (whom I would ask to leave, etc)
I practice judo for 3 years now and will keep on doing it but I think that it stays a little bit behind from the modern tendencies of leg bars and submission focused play so I plan to try combat sambo as well. Saw that video - this guy is great!
I play more Omaha lately and it pays out.In low stakes (NL10,NL20) people play so recklessly that it really is ez money.Unfortunately I can not post hands coz I play ipoker and have no Omaha tracker. Switched to NL20 when reached 30 bi in Holdem and run not bad.
today is like, every time i get close to even i get hit by another tough, possibly sick situation..
i mean, if i think about it logically i know i can bank at these limits because of the terrible calls that are made against me..
i felt during parts of the day that i was playing badly and took breaks for an hour here and there but i honestly dont think im particularly tilty, its just every time i sit back down i get another one of those tough hands..
this happened alot today, stuff like this, but it makes me know i can beat the limit.. i cant really bet too hard here idk..
finally, this is the most recent hand where i ran into a set. i think i could have folded it. but im starting to really doubt some of these. i hit trip queens with AQ on the turn and i think there was too much chance he just has a kq or qj or q rag.
poker's kinda sucked lately, not running terribly great, but also found I wasnt playing optimally for .25/.5. Normally I play a 21/18ish game, and have always played a somewhat tag/laggish style. Thanks to Marshall, I am now a nit, however im pretty sure his method for crushing .25/.5 is about as optimal as you can get. Results to come after I collect a worthwhile sample size, but I would highly recommend him if youre looking for a 50NL coach.
