Zero to ??? on Merge or Minted... Join Us! - Page 11 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Nice work live dude! I actually went out last nite as well (+200) and played 1/2 NL. It amazes me still how I can sit for long periods of time with out playing a hand and when I bet out everyone thinks I am bluffing! Anyways, need to find out who is in to the monthly challenge.

Lets make it easy, any sng/mtt with a buy in from $0-$1. Lets keep it simple for my pea-sized brain ok.

Chance's story is typical HG type play at the lower limits. Hilarious that you won with your K on river. WP.

(even at the mid to higher limits - i mean this was 8/16 not 2/4etc... but it does get crazy at ANY limits at HG! -- even when i play over in vip 15/30 or 20/40 or 300nl - you find the same craziness)

lol

did you say WP?? lol

wp?? well of course!! lol it was amazing how i outplayed them all in that hand!!

(oops)

anyway - working at home today - but lots to do - so can check in here a bit -and maybe play some a bit later!

Good luck to everyone - will check in again when i can put some play in!

I play on Hero Poker which is a Merge skin as I understand it, but Hero runs some awesome freerolls daily which are not network-wide, only for Hero players.

I have no affiliation with Hero, but the site is awesome, can even fold and show zero, one or both cards to villain (at holdem anyway, for omaha can only show zero or four cards). Fun! No way I waste my time on those Steps for a buck prize after many hours of play. Yuck.

I do the same thing quite often - that's kind of why I started this thread to keep me accountable (and NOT use bad BR management)

... the key is NOT use bad br mgt.!

lol

we all understand though - have to "get it back quick!"

just know that you don't have to get it back quick - you can build it back again by good br mgt and good play. there is rarely a quick fix! (i'm talking to myself now!)

good luck though - we are here to support!!!!

You are doing much better than me. I'm down to $1.37.

And, I finished 4th in both of the step3's I played! Was in 1st place in both of them with 4 people left and I blew it.

It's been a really rough tilty month. Hope Sept is better.

Just played the 11c donkdelight and won 42c to get me up to $1.37. Blah. Not sure I'm cut out for this micro NLHE stuff. Might just deposit and get back to my PLO8 mtt's.
