Bad Session!

The 73 hand was like the 5th hand of the session or so. The thing that might be bad about this hand was that I had cold 4-bet with like 22 or 44 I forget because I felt it was a pretty good spot to do it (It was something like a bet-sizing tell or something. I think the 3-bet was really small and the button had raised, so the button probably wide...and I felt the 3-bettor was just 3-betting light).

The QQ hand and 93clubs hand UGH. Sadly I cant recall any reads I had.

I was playing with no hud, and the guy didnt really have any traits that stood out... I had reads on other ppl at the tables albeit not great ones. But certain types of players I cant really gain insight on. I feel like the QQ hand was the worst of the three. I tried to think of a combo range on the river it but I was doing it slow...I forget my rationale for the river shove. Its seems bad tho.

And the 93clubs hand, as you can see by the 73 hand Im kinda too keen on setting up river shoves on the turn.

I think the general lesson from the 93cc hand and the 73o hand is that I have to think harder about bluff shoves on polarized spots more. But I dont really have a great "Method" of going about deciding whether or not to pull the trigger (Which is why I should laern game theory). Also hazy on what "Criterion" to consider in these polarized spots.

Anyway I am rambling...YEAH. Fuck!

back now.. by VeGeTTa89, May 13


after being fucking exiled from this site i am now back after months of conditioning and training. anyone gives me shit i'm going to eat them alive. Anyone want to be friends, then i say hello to you and hope to talk some real poker with you. I have learned hard lessons in life.

poker is a deceitful game filled with pain, agony and frustration. It is a LONGTERM game. If your in it for the short term get the fuck out NOW. You will loose all your money and you WILL come back for more. i promise you.

i understand why some of you were the way you were to me. I didn't deserve to be here spouting out of my mouth acting like i knew shit when in fact i knew nothing. and I still know nothing. i am improving every single day and looking to learn even more from some of you.

Poker is a learning process. Stand corrected. You cant always be right. Be yourself. Don't try to impress someone who has been in the game for years and has made a fortune playing this game. And don't pout. You can pout all you want but NO ONE gives a fuck about what you have to say.Be in this shit for yourself. thats the real lesson of life and poker.

Hope to see yall in the forums...

peace

vague helpz by mnj, May 13


having a somewhat hard time adjusting to the .5/1 game

ppl 3 bet somewhat frequently and squeeze quite light as well.
i've made these adjustments
-stop opening AXs ep
-calling somewhat early with 22-88
-3betting 88-JJ almost always to prevent myself from getting 3 bet
-utg range no longer always includes KJs ATs



i guess i'm looking for general feedback or some helpful tips. one situation that did occur today ALOT was me opening ATs-AQs utg and getting 3 bet by button. Do you guys prefer calling here? I have a hard time playing on many flops as we're playing pot control on the few flops we do hit an A and we have to pretty much c/fold on flops we dont hit. I feel like against a wide range calling with suited connectors 89+ is good to defend more flops with?

Live Poker. How do you... by hiems, May 13


I wanted to mix up more live play, as I feel you can learn some different skill sets from playing live...So I drove myself down to Atlantic City to play $1-2. Anyway long story short...the game was really easy, and I won some money, which was nice. One of the guys at the table was being really loud and constantly talking... and looked, sounded, and acted exactly like Mike Matusow. I said that hes just like Mike Matusow. Turns out hes actually his cousin. What a sick read!

Anyway...My question is regarding conversation at the table.

When people started conversations with me earlier in the session I just ignored them for the most part as I wanted to just focus on everything that was happening and try to process information.

But I dont know what it is, whether its "because its interesting to talk to people" type or thing or "Its really seems akward as hell and a dick move to just keep ignoring people at the table" type of thing...later in the session I started to talk to some of the players. The problem is that its really hard to pay attention to hands that are going on while doing this, and its definitely +EV, especially in the learning department, not to talk to people at the table.

So I guess my question for people with some live experience is how do you balance your focus and the social aspect of being at a poker table? (Ex. I would assume an ipod would help).

What is poker? by LemOn[5thF], May 13


Seriously, I almost forgot.

About a month ago I got a serious doomswitch.. some 40BI below EV in a span of 7 days. No big deal, thats poker and I just grinded through it while focusing on my A game.
The only problem is I didn't.

Instead I tried Dota 'for a couple hours' and played some 150 hours of it since then.

A combination of frustration from poker and my deeply rooted Dota addiction basically meant that I got out of touch and played like crazy on Iccup, it just seems like so much more fun than poker when money is not my motivator, its simply easier to unwind playing Dota than poker after a long day at work.


So I haven't touched poker, LP or anything poker related in over a month now. I lost my SN on Stars. And I still deep down have a stigma from losing since I quit after a doomswitch.

Luckily, I will have 2 weeks of holidays starting Friday, first in a very long time. I need to get rid of the stress, recharge my energy and just gently cuddle with poker on a site that doesn't force me to play a million hands per month and restore the fun I always had playing poker.

P.S. Sorry to all for being out of touch, dota is such a time and attention guzzler

Mission Accomplished by NewbSaibot, May 12


I'll keep this one short and sweet. So after making $800 profit in a single session of live NL200 last week, I took the plunge and bought in for a single table at NL400 online because fuck it, thats why. Ran it up to $1700 because I'm a good player. Next night all the NL400 tables are full with long waits and the only open table i could find was...... NL1k lol. But whatever, a buyin and a half has worked before right? Besides this could really jumpstart the ole bankroll.... for when I take my single buyin shot at 25/50. Unfortunately I ran into a 200k winning reg who must have been tilted or something b/c he put me allin with 99 preflop once, 3 barreled air and rivered bottom pair for the win, plus a couple of other spots I cant really remember and wiped me out. Pretty sick really, cant complain since he crushes the game across multiple sites but his play still seemed way out of line.

But I did accomplish my mission, that being playing NL400 and doing well lol. I played live last night and soul crushed everyone. I think they were even starting to get mad because I must've played something like 70/50 raising almost every hand I was dealt. 2 people even left to go to another table and 2 others switched seats at my table. And while I assume variance is a little softer at live stakes due to fewer hands dealt, I got it in preflop QQ vs KK, nut flush vs boat, and a couple of counterfeit hands where the board ran out a straight on me for a split vs some TPNK bullshit I had dominated. I even laid down top 2 vs a fish getting 3:1 on a 80BB pot when he donkbet a paired turn and then showed me nothing more than an OESD.

So now I cant decide what I want to play right now, live or online. My hourly is better online but of course it's a lot more mental work playing against people out of my league. Live is such a haul and backbreaking, but it's also relatively easy. If I want to play tonight ill come home smelling like cigarettes which I'm not really in to, so that has a certain factor too.

Finally I find out that some new poker legislation is going into effect in Florida allowing uncapped buyins which will ultimately turn it into the next gambling epicenter as far as I can tell. I'm within driving distance of all of these casinos if I wanted to make weekend trips out of it. But I fucking hate where I live right now and could see myself moving there! Especially since right around the time this happens the UIGEA will take on some new twists, and I'm deathly afraid of investing heavily into online play just to have the christians finally win and be banned for life. I could def see myself beating 5/10 live for a living once I built up a roll and got used to living in a casino. So many things to consider!

Oh, and sorry for not keeping this short and sweet.

Man the Right side is pretty good. by YoMeR, May 12


Well not quite as good as the left side but still. Funny thing happened today tho.

note: shameless brag

ONEGOODPLAYER,

Nice going. By being smart enough to park yourself at a Bad Beat Jackpot table, you've won a nice chunk of the latest jackpot that was popped at 16:58:54 on 2010-05-12. Here's a look at the details:

Bad Beat Jackpot: $214,956.76
Players' Share: $281.45
Your Cut: $1,688.70

And the fact i made a few buyins too during the session makes a nice fat session to dampen my massive spending. The food here in philly is absolutely amazing. Def gotta load up before i get back.
