Did you buyin for $100 twice then $150? Did he shove over your 3bet, or call the 3bet w. Q9?

Sucks. I'm tempted to go down tonight, but who knows

Lol I hate and love when you guys quote me. A lot of those are rants. I still stand by my word and I know you will agree with me on this.

"It takes body and soul to crush this game we love called poker, there is no cheat sheet that can help you, your only hope is preparation and execution under pressure"


Thanks for putting me in my place. If I read all of those rants I would think I ILCD is a terrible player and person. That's not me man, I'm down to earth cooler then ice. Don't take me to heart, I'm also a joker and joyful person. But I take poker to heart so sometimes I get out of line.

I deleted my post. I didn't think it was fair or right... but I am glad you saw it.. I will leave it at that.

yea tht. i 3bet him, he flats, i shove flop, he rivers 2 pair to my 1 pair.

wnet again today. lost 400 at 3/5. couldnt hit a draw in my life + plus card dead + people hitting sets to my TP= going into work for an OT shift to make up loss.

Brag:

played 1/2 for 25 hours. Cash out 2.3k (BI was 300). Made 15BIs this weekend. Can't believe I just keep getting paid off...

They let me out of the nervous hospital. Said I was well. Mmmhmmm.

I dont know if thats a brag or beat, I mean how often do you get a run like that, and to do it 1/2 and not at 5/10+.

Either way grats man, its truly a accomplishment.

this might be the most ive heard of at tht limit. ive 2k once here.

wow, congrats man, my personal best is 1400.

Sitting at my daughter's ballet class right now.

Brag: my daughter
Beat: ballet
Variance: 45 minutes

River: angry birds kills time like nothing else.
Showdown: not the river card I was looking for though.

FYP

i keep getting them to commit their stack with bottom/middle pair
because big bets, and aggression just MUST mean that you're bluffing, and you missed w/ AK??
now, if i could only run good with 2 cards to come.

every now and then, they're drawing dead,
and i seem to play better in these spots.

nice..

i cashed out 2.1k friday night after 6 hours at 1/2 300-max : )

most if have heard... i think percula said he had a 3500 profit night. perhaps that was at 2/5 though.

my most monster win was in PLO when i quadded someone with a total trash hand in a shorthanded game vs. his KKJT on a AK5Q5 board ; 3.5+
i'm such a donk.
but he talked me into calling, i was literally going to muck my hand.
the JTXX wrap was all too obv, and it was a nothing pot at the time.

$3200 in a short 1/2-500 SL session at CAZ right after they lifted the betting cap to $500. Played about 3-4 hours before/during the monthly MTT, ran like gawd and they just couldn't give it to me soon enough. It was funny, the chip runner just camped out at a empty table next to mine.

Lol.. I did run good but that was over 25 hours (not like 5 or something). Also some people were just clueless... my $22 pre flop open was called by a $90 stack who had A2off....

I see guys win 2k all the time. The most I seen was 5200 with a 300 dollar buyin.

I still have not ran hot like that yet. The most I win is between 800-1500.

Can't wait till I run hot. I know its just run of cards. But my seat aint never got hot.

Wow my son is about to start walking lil kobe just took 5 steps like 5 times tonight. Life is going so fast, he is only 10 months.

my best 1/2 session was like 2k i think, marlol used to pull 2k+ stacks off multiple times a week :\, crazy bugger, though he put in much longer sessions than me

damn im jealous. maybe if the BIs werent 100 max it would be different.

im with u ILCD i cant wait til i run hot at 3/5 and bring in like 5k...hahha..crazy im starting to sound like i did when i first started playing.

since we dont have line check thread, tell me if this was good bluff or spewy.

3/5 i have about 450 in front, maybe 2nd hour into session with same Vils.

STd fit n fold, passive, station, shortstack Vil has a bout 300-350ish and hes UTG+2. not very active so far.

Vil makes it 15, MP calls, Im BTN I have KQo i call, SB calls.


FLOP 2 3 9 two diamonds, checks around to me i bet 50, everyone folds except Vil who calls.

TURN 9 he checks again, i bet 100, he hesitates for a minute then calls.

RIVER 2 he checks again, no flush, I bet 100 again.

Good move or spewy? OBV i put him on either smaller PP like 77-88, unlikely, to AXdd flush draws, more likely. but i guess he could have anything except something stupid like 85o or some sht.

id prob 3 bet pre

its a board that misses everyone but also misses your range the majority of the time, so if their level 1 yeah firing is fine, do you have to go for 50 into 65? on this type of board 35-45 should serve the exact same.

turn i would give up on, hes going to (correctly) interpret this as a great card for him to continue his calldown on

river again id give up, now he might even decide to call with ace high if he had axdd since your value range is so fkd up, you cant have 22, its a little weird for you to pot it otf with any 89 or 9T type hand, and you could have missed with diamonds etc. if you REALLY think you could make him fold, shove instead of bet 100, but you shouldnt have got into this spot imo

i agree on flop. looking back now I fcuked up the turn. I should have shut down and maybe if i thought i could get a fold he would still fold A hi to a bet on river. But once i bet turn I felt like i had to bet river to have anychance to win hand.

either way he showed up with 1010 which was really weird since i would expect him to bet that on the flop or raise me at least. also i didnt put him for a guy who thinks of ranges and i might be right just not this hand.

thnx.

You look like 9x, but your river bet would probably be a little bigger if you had 9x, I like the flop stab though, you IP the rest of the hand, I would have bet smaller (30 into 50) because I think players in a 3/5 game are not going to read into your bet sizes, and you keep the pot smaller which leaves more options for barreling.

Me personally once called I would check turn and maybe bluff rivers if he keeps checking. I try to avoid building big pots with air live because of how bad players are, they hate folding.

His hand looks like a draw, maybe even a hand like 10-10

Oh wow, thats spooky because I just posted his hand being 10-10. I don't want to be results oriented but your play in a vacuum is fine, but in a 3/5 live game players struggle with hand reading and folding 'good hands'

Youve lost a decent chunk of change, i would take a small break and cool down. What I do when I have a bad run or lose a large ammount is play online and give myself small goals.

If you can beat 10nl online you can be 500nl live, put $250 on fulltilt and try to beat the game for 20 buyins, this will allow you get your poker itch scratched without tilting off another $500-$800. Yeah you're not making big money, but think of it like practice.

Set a goal - Don't go to the casino untill you beat 10nl for 15-20buyins. If you can't beat 10nl, thats when inflated egos deflate and you humble yourself into being a student of the game again.

I've been there my friend

Why would he raise you OTF with TT, he shouldn't do that unless he's bad. I think he played it well. You really should have slowed down on the turn since that's a really bad card for you to fire a 2nd barrel on
