bluffing a lot at the lowest limit game available is def optimal. players at 1/3 always fold top pair to aggression.

jk. good job booking a win and fighting thru mother nature all weekend. way to get **** done.

Miami Vices are delicious. Lol @ the haters.

Lololol.....it worked for me that night, I can get carried away sometimes and lose a lot of $$$.
I prefer to play tournaments where I can use more strategy instead of boring straightforward low limit play

And Thanks! How fun would life be if everything went perfectly as planned?

This makes no sense.

Who are you, a straightforward low limit play expert or something? Bet you don't even clear $50/hr at 1/2!

Soulman,

1/3* She forgot what stakes she was playing.

So this week is going to be a lot of eating out. The sister I'm staying with eats nothing but junk food and her fridge is completely full. I had to throw away all of the food from my freezer and fridge.
I'm going to get some yogurts and lean cuisines to store in the fridge at work, but dinners will be going out. I had an egg McMuffin and parfait this morning. The parfait was way too sweet and tasted like pudding.

In a tournament, depending on how the table is playing, I will adjust my range and try to portray a certain image that will allow me to trap or represent hands and bluff. If the table is lose, I'll raise a small pocket pair, bluff, and show my hand, this helps me build bigger pots later when I have premium hands. Or I could have bottom pair and value bet on the flop to represent top pair, then 3 bet on the turn.... this is called semi bluffing? In a tournament, I'm constantly adjusting and coming up with a game plan of how I'm going to take advantage of each player at my table. In 1/2, none of this works, you just have to sit back and wait on a hand.

This is why people get frustrated with you. There is never a reason that eating out is inevitable; it's always a choice. It's one thing to give in to temptation in the moment or get caught off guard when faced with an unexpected situation, but you are flat-out planning to eat like crap days in advance and you don't even care. Why are you throwing out the healthy(?) stuff from your old fridge and leaving all her junk food? You live there now; clean out your half of the fridge and go to a ****ing grocery store.

The power is out at my sister's house, so I couldn't move it over. The power just came back on at work as well. I just don't have anywhere to store food to cook for dinner right now.my plan is yogurts, lean cusine, and grilled chicken salads/subway. My other sister whom I planned on staying with till my other sister's power is back on is fostering my nephews and has inspections this week where no one else can be staying at her house, so I'll be crashing different places all week.

In cash games you're generally spending more time on a table with the same players because tables don't get broken up so this gives you more time to build up an image and take advantage of it. Or are you saying that cash games players aren't good enough to detect the image you're creating while tournament players are?
05-30-2017 , 10:17 AM
That's what I'm saying. Most of the time in cash, the players aren't paying attention to anything other than if they have a hand. Like 8th joked, if they have top pair, they aren't folding and aren't trying to analyze what you might have. They definitely aren't paying attention to your bet sizes or anything else.

I don't think it's true that tournament players are better than cash players. At similar stakes the players should be about equally good.
05-30-2017 , 10:42 AM
From my experience, they aren't any better in the weekend Winstar tournaments but they are in the larger tournaments I've played at Chocktaw.
05-30-2017 , 10:47 AM
One can never be as creative with 100bb in cash games as with avg 20bb in tournaments. Simple logic.
05-30-2017 , 11:00 AM
last comment i'll make around poker strat in this thread but just wanted to qualify that i was specifically speaking to the low limit NL players in general. 1/2-1/3. certainly true of mid stakes as well but just a little less so.
