Even running crazy good I need all the extra manies here and there I can snap up, have a tentative timeline set for moving up stakes full time.

whose leaving bally's first ?

Did you make Day 2 at Southpoint?

Trooper heading out +$170ish. I'm hanging around -$60. We got short handed so talked about Iron Maiden and those funny ass songs in one of his videos. He was pretty sociable just initially quite dude I think.

Didn't make the SP freeroll I was jumping around town too much.

Bleh game broke and I lost draw and wasn't going to wait to get in the bad looking remaining game with Quack Quack to defend my like 10 session winning streak so leaving down -$102. Lot of pokers goin down tomorrow.

QUESTION:
When to Take your Winnings.... Pocket X amount ..... and either call it a Day/Night and stop playing OR Maybe Buy Back in for the Table Max ( $300 at $1/$2 / $1/$3 ) OR Push forward, and try and Maximize your now ( $600 stack ) ?


Bankroll Management , and also making sure we Pocket Are Winnings , is a crucial aspect to surviving and making it in the Long run, at Playing NL for a Living

Given this , Is there a Basic Guideline to follow , as to when to take your Profits off the table ?


Lets assume we Buy in for $300 at $1/$3 ( Table Max )

So at anytime we're up $300+ , would you " always " want to Lock in , and put that $300 in your pocket ( so to speak ) , or would you want to try and Max your Edge at the Table , and now use your $600 stack to make even more $ ?

I know there is likely no, " one size fits all " answer to the question

I guess I'm just looking for some sort of guideline to follow , for when I'm playing , and have a nice Profit at the tables

Thanks for the Help and Recommendation(s)

You never HAVE to lock any amount of profit up and making a baseline/rule for that can do more damage than good by capping your wins, however the criteria for 'quitting ahead' is actually super simple

1. You feel like you have more $ on table then your comfortable losing and/or leaving up will improve your attitude or confidence in future sessions

2. Quality if the game changed due to good spots leaving and better potentially troublesome players taking their places

Or

3. You are approaching or exceeding the time frame you like to set for a typical session length which should be something set based on how long (and make sure it's an honest assessment) you can play on your A game...to break this one game better be pretty epic to make up value on your inevitably deteriorating play.

wheydacheese ,
you're awesome man . Thanks so much for replying to my questions
Much appreciated

Whey with your style do you prefer the more passive tables where you can play table captain or do you look for those wild late night early more games were you basically wait for hands and play for max value ? This would be at 1/2

trooper ain't giving you no free publicity

Whey, did you do the Thurs Bally free roll, if so, did you see trooper at it ?

Ya, I told him he should come finish hours he had till 5pm today and as of last night he needed like 3 hours. Said he would but no show. I played. +$300.

^^^ it appears trooper did make the Bally's freeroll

He missed cashing

weird I looked all over for him, must been at way opposite table or something and/or got out very fast

^^^ And I was bad mouthing trooper in the other thread for not showing.

take this for erroneous information

Does anyone Play regularly in Tunica,MS ?

Thanks

Question regarding Showing your Hand ( after the hand is over ) ........

Examples:

Say we make a Big bet , and we win the hand ( with a Pure BLUFF ) ,
we then Flip are Cards over.
Are goal with doing this, is to Hopefully get are Opponents to call us Next time that we make a Big Bet , But...... this time, we will be Betting Big when we have a Monster hand

My MAIN Question:
On the Flip side ,
How would the Following situation benefit us in winning Pots / getting Called " Light " ?

Example........ This time we will Bet Small when we have a hand such as Trips ( a Monster hand ), and let's assume we win the hand.
We then Flip over are hand and show are cards.

We then will bet Big on a hand Soon after this hand as a BLUFF .

What benefit ( if any ) would doing a move such as this have for us ?
Are we trying to Steal a Pot with this Bluff ?

Are we hoping that by showing that we had Trips a few hands ago ( and we bet Small ) into the pot when we had such a Big hand ....... That when we bet BIG , are opponents will hopefully believe us , and " Assume " that we Must have a MONSTER now that we're Betting Big , since we bet small when we had Trips ..... We're hoping they will " Buy " that we have a hand such as a a Flush or a Full House , when in reality we are making this now Big bet with a pure Bluff, and thus can hopefully still a nice sized Pot?

Thanks

srry no content lately, having a little hardware malfunction but will be up and running very soon

Does the new place mean you can cancel your gym membership? That should be a nice little savings right there towards the increase in rent if you can both just workout at the complex.

ya def man thats the plan bc i was month to month on the gym and it was really expensive...kinda sux bc that gym is right beside my new place but it would be the smurt thing to do for sure

New place looks pretty smart

thx mang life is good but 2017 we gotta MAKE SOME $MANIES$

" Reverse " Tell question :

Let's say that every time we pick up a Monster hand and are Value-Betting or are Raising , that we make sure to completely change the topic of conversation , as if to draw attention away from the hand.

If we think are opponent(s) have picked up on it , then we can do the same thing the next time we're running a Big Bluff .


My question then is ........ Do we show are cards at the end of the hand ( toss them into the pile ) Face Up at the end of the hands ....... Both when we have a Monster , as well as when we are Bluffing ?

Thanks

Last VLOG was top top. Aren't you worried about getting stalked by a variety of psychopaths?

90% of the time youl be overthinking these situations so keep the Hollywood to a minimum BUT if I'm going to show on occasion like that it's going to be say I go for an overbet like 1.5x pot on a river with close to the nuts...and they all fold and I'll show then it happens again and I show...at this point I'll know I can size a river bluff or two in similar spots and some of those players (some players it just absolutely doesnt matter) will be conditioned to assume I have a top tier hand and fold surprisingly strong holdings...then even if I do not show they don't make that connection because it's more passive memory than anything else.

By far the most potentially lucrative spots from an image prospective though come when you win a hand at showdown with something like 5-7 diamonds that you raised the button with and beat someones legitimate hand...if it's the right type of player they will be convinced for the remainder of the session that you absolutely can never have the top of your range when you open and that pays off huge when you raise button again with KK and they spazz with TT.

*on a similar note, if you are playing in a place with a button straddle, and you straddle every button and raise most of them say x3-4 ($15-20) over limpers; For some strange reason prevalent in the universe of 1-2/1-3 nlh, when you instead go to like $40-$60 over your button straddle with a hand like AA/KK/QQ...many players won't differentiate between the amount and will limp call just as wide, some will even go as far as to assume you must have an even weaker hand. It can be pretty great.
