I'm hoping to use this thread to chart my progress as I take a shot at moving up. I've been playing 25nl FR since FTP came back after Black Friday but have started to make the switch to 6max so that I can move up (50nl FR is dead on FTP).
I started my first ever pg&c thread last year to document what I hoped would be a recovery from this downswing I suffered at the end of 2014
By coincidence my results started improving on 3rd January 2015 when I started my pg&c thread and I ended up with the following results for the year (all 25nl)
It's my intention to get back to posting more hand histories for discussion or whatever but I can't help posting another hand involving My Little German friend as it's the first chat I've had from him in 2016. For anyone new looking in he constantly abuses me at the tables and believes I'm a 'house player'. I've never said a word in chat in response to him and that winds him up even more.
Button had K, A (one pair, twos).
Hero had 10, 10 (two pair, tens and twos).
Outcome: Hero won $8.70
MLGF: ******ed freakshow who hits aginst you nobody?
MLGF: 100 outs not enough against you bot donk
MLGF: mr freaksho
MLGF: what i witnessed with you is enough you never ever had a bad beat not in 0 mio ahnds i played with you
Hi man, gl, what makes you want to play on ftp instead of stars!
Ty. I've played FTP since way back in the day when it was competing with Stars for the No1 site. I like the software but I may be moving some of my volume elsewhere.
4) Very funny hand (for me) against My Little German Friend. I litterally burst out laughing at the board run out knowing the abuse that would be coming my way if we got to showdown
Hero had 4, 5 (four of a kind, fives).
MP had A, A (full house, fives over Aces).
Outcome: Hero won $24.56
MLGF: knew it
MLGF: 100 %
MLGF: mr house player started again
MLGF: watch what youre doing azzhole
MLGF: and tell us youre not a bot
MLGF: nobody else gets these setups
MLGF: any other player would have bet ai on river
MLGF: but i know youre lucky strains like you lucked out the 52 yesterday
He is right though, I should be shoving that river
Villain plays 21/11/3.2 at FR and this may be the first time I've seen him on a 6max table. He was a losing player but he's either got better recently or is on a heater as he's winning at 23bb over his last 13k hands. He's awkward to play against postflop due to being so random at times and lately he always seems to have it when I'm in a hand against him so the fact I didn't get his stack here was annoying
Hero had 8, 9 (one pair, eights).
MP had A, J (high card, Ace).
Outcome: Hero won $10.94
Villain: note to self: unbluffable calling station to my right
Villain: sry, wrote that the wrong place
Not a bad reputation to have
Thought villain was unlikely to have a King and then I couldn't see what he'd be going for 2 streets of value with when Tx and possibly even some weak Kx are in my calling range. So it looked like air.
Start of year rungood continues. This is still 25nl
With regards to moving up to 50nl I've been looking at some options to improve my play as I still feel like a noob at 6max despite my results there so far (fish on a heater?)
So I may have an announcement in a couple of days.
