So yesterday I've read an article on table selection. Even though I knew most of these things before, I would usually be to lazy to focus on it. But this article convinced me to pay more attention to this aspect of the game. So I opened the best 16 6max nl100 tables on ftp (highest % of people seeing flop, 70bb+ stacks etc) and left them on with PT and PAHUD for 20 mins or so untill I got statistics for most players. Than chose 8 or 10 of these tables, cancalled my table reservations a few times to get better position on weak players and finally got 8 good tables filled with donks with about 40/10 stats and big stacks to my right. I wasn't sure if I should play that many tables but I had no problems except for the fact that for like 20 minutes my broadband was very slow and I had to close 4 tables.

The session started pretty well and after 20 minutes I was up about 2 buyins. Later on I started running pretty bad. I was getting good cards, hitting flops pretty good as well but I lost a few major pots end I ended the session being up about $200. Here are the stats from this session:

I was playing very tight but this is because of 8 tables and I’m still not used to it. The other things it that this was enough to make people pay me off where they shouldn’t.
Now I need to get my party rakeback set up and I’ll be playing a mix of FTP and Party. I might give some other networks a go as well, just to clear some bonuses, get some rakeback etc. and maybe I’ll find a gold mine.

Here are some interesting hands from today:

That was a tough one. I’m not gonna post the results now cause first I’d like to hear some comments. Villains’ stats: ianleeds - 19.3/5.3 / AdmiralTwill - 18/10. No other reads. What do you guys think about it?

2. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141457
Thanks a lot.

I think folding is the right play in this spot. Any opinions?

4. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141731
Should’ve raised on flop probably. Villain’s stats – 22/20 I was actually close to fold on turn when he bet big. Luckily I was right this time.

5. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141734
Ship it.

Probably should’ve bet on flop but I try to mix betting and checking on AAx flops with both Ax and others hands to confuse my opponents. He either sensed my weakness or had a really good hand.

I had a big problem when deciding what to do in this spot. There’s a preflop raise, shortstack’s allin for 16bb and I ‘ve got KK. I figured that calling wasn’t a good idea as it might’ve given the other villain too good pot odds. Raising like $40 would look pretty strong so I figured that I’d push to make it look as if I wanted to stay in the pot only with the shortstack with a decent but not a top notch hand. Bastard folded anyway.

Well, happens.

I really like the way I played it hand and after his call on the flop I planned to make it look like I’ve been 3-barreling or sth. Pot-sized bet on the river and he calls with top pair, no kicker. He was playing very loose (47/20), splashing around and trying to stack me.

10. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141743
I think this was an easy (and correct) fold. What hands can I beat that he’s pushing here?

11. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141745
Pot odds.

12. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141746
Turn gave me a nut FD so I fired a second barrel. He checkraised me and my odds weren’t good enough if I was hoping for a flush only. But since he was a very loose and aggressive player I was pretty sure that my overcards are good as well. Made a call with proper odds and the turn helped me to win.

13. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141747
Managed to induce a river bluff by checking – just as I planned it.

14. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141748
Standard?

15. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141751
That was a tough one. Villain wasn’t raising often so I gave him credit. It might’ve been a mistake but he haven’t even made a 3-bet before). What do you guys think?

16. http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/141754
Villain was pretty tight, with stats about 17/10. I saw him 3-betting a few times though. I also had a good image and I think he respects my game. The flop wasn’t ideal for me but I decided to raise his pot sized flop bet. If he had TT-QQ he’d probably fold thinking that I might have KK or AA. If he had one of the top two pairs, he could also fold thinking that I’ve hit a set. And there’s always a possibility that he was bluffing.

I’m a bit tired since I slept only 3 hrs yesterday but I’m gonna play a 2-3hr session now anyway. If I feel that I’m not playing well, then I’ll finish my session. And from now on I’ll be posting only the really most interesting hand histories as it takes too much time to post 10+ hands a day.

I think that shorstackdude is too short for you to fold JJ. You're getting 3-5 or something so unless he's tighter then JJ+,AQs+,AKo you'll have to call, right? However, you're probably better then me so you're probably right.

Also, I'm tired so I might be way off.

Party rakeback? :S There's no rakeback in Party.

Raising preflop more than 10% is somewhat wild. 5% is average. Less than 3% is passive.

Hand nr 10, he could easily have TPTK + FD, but it was a good fold anyway.
