I have a question for all you minbettors? If I am a winner at 100NL taking shots at 200NL(6 max)...and by the 300BB rule I'm rolled for like 5/10, where should I start off if I want to start playing a little minbet every so often? I assume just from overall poker knowledge I'd be talented enough to beat the micros but I'm not really sure.

Micros yes. I would start at .50/1.00 if I were you. However you could subscribe to DC and watch Danzasmack's series The Price is Right and follow that with Shouldn't Fold and that should fast forward you pretty well. Its a much different game once you start adding some good regulars around 3/6.

If you have solid poker theory it shouldn't take too many hands to get comfortable.

I disagree pretty strongly. He overplays draws and top pair type hands overwhelmingly so. He doesn't adjust well either.

I could go on but I won't. He still tilts the crap out of me however, especially since he is pretty good at getting there. He would win more if he lost some FPS and slowed down a bit on draws. He tends to become predictable. P.S. I'm not entirely proud of my play on these hands either.

One more then off to bed.

I tried to find it to quote it but someone said TheVitruvian plays well post flop. Wrong. I think he's so bad. I saw him CC a 3 bet in the BB with A4s, flop bottom pair, see the turn for two bets and river the crap out of some poor schmuck. Thats just one off the top of my head. That being said, I can't seem to beat the guy. Maybe he's playing so well it looks bad. I think he'd be a big winner if he got coaching but right now I think he is making hudge mistakes.

As a default I play all of those hands differently than him, but none of them really stick out as terrible to me other than the QQ hand.

If you played those hands against me and you had more than 50 hands of data on me you'd know why it was bad. And how about that river raise into my obvious flush? Read hands much?

level?

Villain seems pretty spewy in those hands

Honestly, what is the thought process behind this post?
"I always have it because I'm a huge nit who checkraise/caps an early position raiser with draws. Oh and I'll throw in a deuchebaggy remark for good measure".
Please tell me you're high.

qft.

Does anyone fold this river? I seriously think calling is close to a 1 BB error. UTG is dbeckham. MP is talented at losing money, obv.

what exactly do you put him on? he would cap AA and JJ preflop, and AJ is putting in way too much action on the flop and turn.

33 is the only hand I can imagine him flipping here. then again I haven't played with dbeckham in a few months. i would be considering raising here, not folding.

edit: eh, if he's going to put in this much action with 33, he probably would with AJ too since they are the same hand. but seriously, i would never consider folding.

I think he has exactly AJ here close to always. I don't think he has JJ or AA for the reasons you stated, but I also don't think he opens 33 UTG. So that leaves AJ. He could have a vastly overplayed KsQs or something, but I really think I'm good here less than 4% of the time. That said, if he can have 33, then obviously folding is attrocious.

A9?

like i said, i haven't played with him in a while, so you're probably right.

flop cap and turn 3bet are suicide if he had AJ imo

Both calllmeefissshhh and thevirtuvian are pretty bad, considering they are obviously trying to play well.

They are def not "fish" category though, and would probabily not play a game with 5 callmefisshs or 5 vitriuvians unless the rake was very low.

Its my opinion that vitruvian just runs unbeliveably good for an insanely long period of time..

Heres my June for all to enjoy.

I can't see dbeckham playing the flop like this with AJ. I have seen him play draws aggressively but the turn kind of rules out two spades so my guess here is 33 or A9, maybe even an overplayed AK.

dbeckham would also cap AA and JJ preflop and not cap JJ on the flop so I can't really see him have these hands.

I find it hard to see what he could have here at all, too much flop action for AJ, would fold 33 pre, would cap AA pre, would cap AK pre. A9 is the only thing that makes sense, but only 1 nine remaining. I'd call

Pretty much nailed it. By the way, its Douchebaggy for the record.

Agreed. Both can and do win but are not playing anywhere near optimal. I suppose that puts me in their club. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Bad news for all lhe players on PokerStars - yesterday I caught EyeGetPaid playing 30/60 Stud 8 or better

I haven't checked the last few pages yet, but opinions on 666INRI and great khann? Oh, and viettiger? Also I've yet to hear just how bad DrArpadElo is (wink). I figure now that I'm at Supernova almost exclusively at 10/20-30/60 I'm close enough to a reg.

666 INRI is like the 3rd biggest loser in my DB. I think he plays well but probably too tight. Seems like he should be a winner though. Probably just running bad, its less than 3k hands. He doesn't spew much and you can fold most junk against him as he usually has it but you also pretty much always know where hes at.

Great Khann is similar but I don't think he is good. He doesn't seem to read hands much but has run well in my DB.

As for you Elo, you're laggy! I don't have enough experience with you to make a solid comment other than that. I'd assume you're a winner and for a pretty good clip.

how is this bad news?
he is a LAG-maniac however he seems to run hot for eternal in my Db at both 5-10 & 10-20

INRI seems to be a tough opponent but he just breaks even. This seems to be the price for playing around 8 tables

TheVitruvian is a big loser due to the fact that he is way to passiv preflop

callmefishhh is a killer. I def dont play with him at the table!

eyegetspaid is really not that bad. He's far from a "LAG maniac" from what Timok says. He's actually pretty passive postflop.

He's not "good" though either.
