hey Ice Wolf,

Not sure if I can PM yet on this name. You know my other name, but I want to talk to you if its cool.

Anyway, take a look at thread I started I am looking to incorporate some Sngs with cash game anbd need help finding a game to play

BR: $465

Deposited $200 on Saturday and have been running it up 4 tabling NL10 6max.

Haven't had a day yet where I've ended down, being up 26 BIs after 5 days is nice

Say hi if you see me at the tables (stars)

Thought this would be a good place to ask a nagging question I have...

A lot of my big losses have come from having an overpair and stacking off... Is this considered stacking off light? I think it is, and it's a big leak in my game I need to improve on...

Would you say stacking off with more than two pair is the way to go, maybe altering it considering on the villains style?

sngpirate,

search forums for Baluga Theorum

Baluga Theorum is one the most important things a micros player can learn.

yet so many of them know it but cant apply it...that or wont

I had a hard time with it at first. I imagine most beginners do. I then loaded up HEM and looked at my losses with one pair facing a raise. Eye opener.

i still struggle with it against players playing 75/54

Just had a look, it's an eye opener. Although I'm glad I've looked at it now, rather than continuing to play the same way!

Just checked HEM... One pair and two pair are my two biggest losing hands. Interesting.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hey..how come Ice was banned? Did this happen over night?

yeah no problem..... overpairs on dry boards facing a check raise are where it will glare out at you

ice_wolf temp-banned himself until basically the beginning of march. its like his second to last post.

why?

he didnt give a reason he just said "5 days plz" but it coincides with the end of february

almost platinum

only 750 to go...

Ha and after talking about how tough baluga theorem can be to apply I had to call a turn shove with KK on a 9842 two heart board. Villain showed QJ. So sometimes those overpairs ARE good .

in talking with Verneer, there are things you want to look for:

A2 7 Is a much scarier board with a hand like AK

than

Q 5 7 with KK

DUCY?

I just played my biggest session in a week and it sucked! Put in almost 1.1k hands and ran so terrible, and add to that I became a calling station. At one point I was down close to 2 BIs, kept getting called on the flop an turn then my river bet would get raised. I felt like I didn't know how to play anymore, but maybe taking time off will do that. After 700 hands I buckled down and won back my losses an finished off by winning $3, it ain't much but it was better than logging another losing session.

Later on I'll put in another 1k hands hopefully. I'm about 50 VPPs from a stellar reward, so I'd like to pick that up by tomorrow.

So why did Ice ban himself? Doesn't make any sense to me?

Bender, I think the scariness of the board depends on how the hand was played preflop, like who raised, who 3bet (if it happened) who's in position, stack sizes, past reads on villain, just the things that are obvious, but that some people don't consider.

without knowing the AK and KK suits I'm not sure I understand how we gauge our strength...elaborate for me pwease

probably because there are more hands that continue that we beat in the KK hand

I'm sure it's temporary, probably the easiest way he could keep from trolling.

Because the way the flop in the first hand is, we have to eliminate all the suited Aces that may be doing this. That takes A9s-AQs out of the picture and the only hands he may be raising us here are sets or two pair. Sometimes AQ but usually they arent looking to get it in there.

In the second hand with the Ace and King both active assuming we dont have the Kc, there are many more draws and top pair top kicker hands that we are up[ against

I see what you're saying now.

For the most part TP and OP hands are very read dependent when getting all in, preflop action is extremely important too.

You can use them for SnG's and it counts as standard money or go to the trading section on 2+2 and you can get 99% just about from everyone.

Noice! thx everyone

was around 350, and dropped a few buyins KK v AA. Now im around 250 and im taking a break. cards seemed to have died for me, taking a break till tomorrow. Then ill put in 1k hands and hopefully b up multiple buildings.
