2013: 24 tabling my way through the micros, and buying a new bicycle!! - Page 3 - Poker Blogs and Goals -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I''m still hovering just above the 320 mark BR wise

So annoying

I hate William Hill btw, they are forcing me to "prove" my age and won't let me log in. I have no idea why they are randomly making me do this, but as soon as I verify everything I'm taking my money off that site ASAP.

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.4 BB) Hero has 8

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to 2 BB, SB calls 1.6 BB, fold

Flop: (5 BB, 2 players) 6

SB bets 3 BB, Hero raises to 18 BB, SB calls 15 BB

Turn: (41 BB, 2 players) T

SB checks, Hero bets 40 BB, SB calls 40 BB

River: (121 BB, 2 players) 9

SB checks, Hero checks

Spoiler:

I didn't look at the results, but easily fold pre. The table looks awful, except for that one guy in SB. He's 76/53 with a 43% 3bet. Small sample size, but we know he is bad. Stealing with 84 with him in the blinds is a losing proposition. Our hand isn't even beating the bottom of his range and if he 3bets us, we just have to fold.

Good luck though!

Lol, Sorry Masq, I was 24 tabling most likely, like a degen....

(btw, if you have been paying attention to this thread, I know I said those days were behind me, but I get tilted 24 tabling NLHE and then 24 Table PLO6mx out of spite for no good reason)

Give me your Skype SN and we can talk PLO sometime

I'm not on it much, but I might go on a bit more and i'll try find you and catch up if you add me. I played some PLO tonight. I'll send you a few of the more interesting hands. There was a few donks out.

Think i'm supposed to shove this pre. Especially for 100bb? I decided to take the nittier approach and just call thinking if I hit flop I can get paid off even more.

The bad draw on flop but I decided to raise to get some of the hands out. After villain's weak sizing on turn and the river being pretty blank and such a weak river bet I tanked and thought about whether to bluff or to give up. I generally try not to bluff at these stakes because people call too often. I saw over $5 in the pot and decided to jam knowing only a few hands can really make the call.

Bit too loose to stack off on this flop? I know it looks like i've got quite a few outs to straight + I hold blockers to JT. But maybe I have to assume someone does have a wrap or a QJTx leaving me fairly dead. 4% for me it turns out. One of the worst shapes i've got it in multiway before

I think you can figure out why I called turn. On the river I decided i'd value bet my hand. Try get two pair/set hands to call. The min-raise was definitely a weird spot but as I held blockers I made the call.

Hero wins $9.25
(Rake: $0.38)

I decided to call the 3bet with KKxx playing UTG. I was pot controlling on flop. On turn the 4th club made it a little less likely villain had flush. I thought a bit and decided to shove. Villain showed the Ac and moaned at me for shoving my smaller flush and that I shouldn't be able to do that.

Pretty standard pre-flop. I had shoving that flop into so many people as I thought someone would have the 6x. Worst case, I have 4 possible outs if they have a 6.

H1 Your a dog vs AAxx pre if you get all the money in aren't you? what's the villains 3b percentage

H2- I think it was a loose call OOP, depending on the
villains PFR I would rather 3b that hand or fold it

H3- Another hand I would personlly think about 3betting IP, depending on whose in the blinds and the PFR. When raised I'm probably done with the hand. Not good spot to get your money in obv

H4- I would have iso more pre. Also, how aggro was the villain? Your basically drawing to a 9-high flush and you have a crappy str8. I'm really surprised you called the raise on the river. For sure I thought you were going to take a b/f line...which I wouldn't love considering there is a higher straight on the turn. What do you mean you held blockers

Can you explain the river call in a little more detail

H5- I think hand this is either a fold or a limp pre, depending on the table. I have no clue why you called a 3b. You have crappy KKxx

H6- Standard IMO

I'm surprised at how well I did on my goals for last month, considering how much of a disastor it was for the last couple of weeks. I went from 24 tabling 10nl all the way down to 2nl. Basically, the main problem was trying to 24 table PLO5. I lost so many BIs that way it became upsurd. Also, I lost a bunch of BI's playing 10nl but that was over a very small sample.

Anyhow, its a new month and I've learned from my stupidity.

In for August

July Goals

[X ] 70 k hands of PLO/NLHE
[X ] get 40 Buy ins for 10nl( For a few k hands)
[X ] 24 tabling 10nl( For a few k hands)

More goals for August

August Goals
[ ] Get back to 24 tabling 10nl
[ ] Get 40 BI's for 10nl and KEEP THEM
[ ] No more degen 24 tabling PLO 6 mx or degening at PLO100

BR- 200

The last 5-6 weeks or so have been awful.

I'm not getting the kind of volume I want to get in, and when I do, I usually get crushed in PLO( and now in NLHE)

Very frustrating

Why 24 tabling 10nl? Imo you should play less tables so you could learn faster.
