hi LP,

back to uni now so im going to be playing a lot more poker then when i was working full time over the holidays. so it should be good

Feb:

feb i didnt have a lot of time to play around work but it wasnt really that great... i guess i didnt run great and spewed alot, same old for me lately. but when i got back to uni last week i started concentrating a lot more and managed to run alright so my BR is now at $500 again and im going to play NL25 immediately, only moving back if i reach $400. so a 4 buyin shot but i dont need to cashout so i see no need to wait til 25 buyins like some people do. hopefully once gain ill stay this time haha

Playing the hand AK.

ive reviewed a lot of my hands and i realised over February that i am actually down on money with the hand AK. dunno what im doing wrong but anyone who has some good tips on how to play AK well on FR let me know.

just a random sample hand to illustrate:

main spots are like when u 3 bet someone to say 12 BB's, they call. ur first to act.

board come like Q93. good to lead out here? i have been near potting it but i often get called and raised here so i still find AK occasionally hard to play unless i have reads and so on.

New PAhud stats (recommended by me)

I spent a couple of hours yesterday putting a few more stats on my PAhud setup. I play FR and the stats i put in are the Call PFR stat (how often they call a Pre flop raise), the Continuation Bet % stat, and the Fold to Continuation Bet stat.

I use these stat ALOT now as I find they are really useful at determining what kind of player you are against. See there are some fish who limp/call preflop and almost always fold to a cbet, whereas others, the "calling stations" who just wont let go.

So by having these stats on display u can easily work out which ones to cbet into and which ones to value bet to death, so for any NL10'ers out there imo give this a try, or at least have it in your popup stats.

If you just use a fish's aggression factor for your reads, u have no info on how often they C/C or C/F flop, all u know is that they wont raise u.



Small pairs

This whole month i tried playing small pairs passively rather than aggressively. ie. limping in early/medium position and only raising from the cutoff/button. this is in contrast to previously just raising them in all Med-late position spots.

i found that i broke even overall with small pairs, whereas i was down about 2 buyins last month from playing them aggro. so at NL10 my advice is just play them passive. too often you will raise with a small pair and get 2 callers and u have to give up without a set as cbets dont take the pot down very often.

Jan small pairs: (aggressive)


Feb Small pairs: (passive)

Thanks:

-this month shaneO has been a big help, full ring isnt really the mainstream on this site but getting advice and help from higher stakes FR players is really invaluable, thanks heaps eh

-Silver, really appreciate the time when u were sweating me at 6 max... guess im not made to play it just yet after i lost 6 buyins later on but was still fun

Good luck to:

All fellow players making the move from the micros to the small stakes. so that is:

go micro crew! fuck yea! xD

good read, your analysis can't hurt your play, but I dunno how far you can take the conclusions.
I think your hud stats will help ALOT. I'm still waiting for PT3 :S
I think cbetting good flops after raising AK is profitable... stats will help you alot here though, to narrow his range

oh btw maybe is gonna sound kinda nit but. sometimes vs decent players that u 3bet w AK and u miss the flop a check behind at flop is not that bad at all imo b/c the whole range of what they ve called u with is beating u, givin a free card sometimes shows some strength i prefer to bet the turn (not all the time) against callin stations u just have to bet the flop.
f.e. in that hand suposing that the guy is decent and called u w JJ TT QQ KK u r so fucked up w ur high card, so the best thing to do is just check behind and in the turn u just can fold to that and save 2$ to urself.

but maybe im just a nit
