After a 3-month hiatus I realized that I can't live without poker. The game is fun and making money is fun. QED
Here are some changes that I decide to incorporate into my game for the next little while:
1) Raise much less frequently in the blinds. So what if I pick up JJ or AQ? We are supposed to disguise our hands. So there is no need to ring alarm bells for our villains. Also, rarely reraise PF with monsters, esp in position. I have been doing this for the past few days, with moderate success. Even against standard TAGs raising 15% of their hands PF, reraising simply blows away too much of the trash.
2) Limp behind with monsters, with intentions to reraise PF. With so many people wanting to "punish limpers" with big late-position raises this has become an attractive option.
3) Slowplay like there is no tomorrow, becoz when you flop a monster, chances are your opponent didn't. Give them a chance to catch up or keep bluffing. Esp against cautious thinking players -- if they are unlikely to stack off with top pair make sure don't blow them away by raising flop and following up on turn. If you just flat a drawy flop with a set, thinking players won't put you on a monster and might try to bluff catch later on.
So far I have registered 4 consecutive winning sessions with almost $1000. And I did it without significant suckouts. Hoping to keep it up.
Anyways, hands, just for the record:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/532333 QJc Sooted Queens sucked on this day
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/532334 KTs Dude made the same small-raise bluff a few hands ago
Sep 23 more small-ball poker
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533025 63d Easy value bet on river? I actually requested time before throwing out $20...
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533026 QQ Unnecessary stack-off vs someone who hasn't done much
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533028 AA
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533029 AKc I had no idea what he had. But I kept representing AA and preseverance paid off
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533030 77 Bluffing the Ace
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533031 A9h Cute hero call vs good reg
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533032 AJh Bluffing a somewhat scary river. Or representing slowplayed trips. Or whatever.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533033 63s Didn't know what I was representing. But he believed me. Or maybe he was drawing
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/533034 98h Slowplaying vs half stack
Sep 25
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534216 85s Flopped flush vs shortie min-checkraise
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534217 T8s Was bored to hell so I pulled this crap
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534219 QQ
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534220 76d I think it was a good bluff
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534367 88 I was hoping to blow out 99-JJ, but instead I got this
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534368 99 Standard
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534369 22 Almost folded bottom set vs button (a standard TAG)
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534370 77 Semi-hero calldown on suboptimal board
Sep 26 lots of stacking events on this night
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534910 33 Sicko setups, didn't know how bad my play was
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534912 T8h Very sour ending to an otherwise productive session
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534913 KQ Opponent was loose passive. Who flats river?
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534916 77 Happened earlier than the T8h hand (same opponent).
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534917 KK He must think I have a small pocket pair and sick of all the raising/reraising
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534919 AJ I was turning my hand into a bluff. I didn't expect him to call 3 streets with KK-JJ, so I put him on AT and tried to represent a set starting with the strong flop lead
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/534920 42d Good time to play trash

It really all depends on the tables you are seeing.
For myself, your rule #2 wouldn't work that well coz there aren't many unraised pots if I'm not the one raising them.
I started to 3bet more lightly recently, especially if my image is tight. I figured it's much more profitable to use that image to steal blinds AND a raise than to just sweep the blinds.
Using the same logic (3bets are taken much too seriously) I might start to flat my AAs. |
