Hi all,

I am going to start writing about my experiences playing midstakes nlh and plo (5 10 to 25 50) live cash

Just bored. So might as well write about some of the stuff I see around me.

I play part time, have a full time job, trying to make it in the world. ..very typical young twenty something kid

I will write about the difficult spots I faced, my own poker research and general observations of life and poker.

Couple of bangers to start the thread

1.
25 50 Game : deep stacks. Sitting with 15k.

Businessman 1( 10 k) raises to 200 from ep.
Businessman 2 (huge vip) (15k) calls in mp.

I 3bet red Jacks to 900 from bb.

B1 folds. B2 calls

Flop 2000

Kh 3h 2s

I check. B2 bets 1000. I call.

Turn 4000

Kh 3h 2s 3c

I check. B2 bets 3000.

I call. ( decision point 1)

River (10k)
Kh 3h 2s 3c 9h

I check. B2 insta shoves 10k.

Decision point 2 for us.


2. 25 50 game

Businessman 1 (10k) raises to 150 in ep. (Same B1 as last hand)

Rich pro (20k) 3 bets to 500 next to act. (Tag but too rich to care about money)

I 4 bet red KK to 1500 in BB. 15k effective with rich pro.

B1 folds. Pro stares me down. We lock eyes for a split second. Pro 5 bets to 3500. I call. (Decision point 1)

Flop 7200

Qh Jh 5c

I check. Pro insta checks.

Turn 7200

Qh Jh 5c Th

I check. Pro bets 3000. (Decision point 2)

I realize it may be hard to get traction for this in the beginning. I'll post my thoughts in a few days, if nothing else it will serve as a diary for me to look back on my poker strategy in future.
