And I talked him into reloading and staying at the table. He now has a full stack for me

lol, to bad he didn't have a full stack the first time. I suppose even if he does you only win the preflop bets unless he bluffs at it?

FUUUUU STARS. he really couldn't fold that wtf. 75VPIP my god

Bum hunting at 5NL is definitely more profitable. A bit of variance as Im having to call down lighter and 3 bet lighter in position to isolate the fish. When I can Im changing seats to get position as well.

well the people at NL50 r pretty donkish to,

you should move up to NL1k where they respect your reads.

Terrible session, dropped to 65 before bringin it back up to 70, came back after a food break and ran like an inbred.

I gotta learn to stop applying fancy strategies to micros.. i was playing cash all nite and after readin an article on sng strategy i read about a few techniques i thought i could apply, but then i realised how bad the players were, who dont kno how to fold.... i'm also really tired after so little sleep during the week.

i'll sort it out 2 moro... to pissed off now. i don't tilt easy either for those who dont me...

Pokerstars Roll: 71 --> 60

working on it

Check/calling this flop seems very bad imo. C/R this flop and start getting the money in/building the pot. Most of the videos I have watched by pros who crush the game say the biggest error you can make at the micros is slowplaying your big hands. Bet for value with your strong hands since they will call you down very light. (The buttons play in this hand is a perfect example of this)

Great day today..ran into quads twice, had KK and ran into AA twice, QQ an lost to a moron who flatted my 3bet with T7 an floated my flop bet, then called the turn with a gutshot an rivered it!!!! Great day on stars, an I only managed to lose like $3 with all that madness. I also turned a straight an that got flushed away on the river.

Can't wait to get back at it tonight!!

So essentially a winning session on your behalf ignoring the coolers .

Ya I suppose. It still made me stop my session, I went on monkey tilt an spewed a buy in with 72o in a BvB hand, cbet on a KT9 board, then cr'd the J turn all in after he hit broadway. Worse move I've made this year and I think I'll quit for the night.

Actually I played a $1.10 donkament so I only lost $1.96 in cash games. In the donkament I busted out in the third level with AA v. 99 & K7ss aipf in a 6k chip pot. I lead out utg, utg1 shoved K7, then the c/o flatted his raise, an I shoved another 1.5k an c/o went into the tank then called. He flopped a 9 and K7 rivered the flush lol. that's my day in a nutshell

I know I'm a bit late.

Current stake: 2nl

Site: Full Tilt

Plan: Build my BR up with consistent play and focus on not Tilting when i lose a BI to a fish.

Thats silly, becuase at the micros your only going to get called by real big hand, though he as 55 aswell 90% of the time he wont.

Anything thats not a set, KJ,AK and maybe AQ at a push isnt calling.
Slow play it, if the turn makes it dangerous then make them pay.

Currently BR: $195
Site: FTP
Stake: .05/.10 NLH SH

Goal: When I hit $500 move to .10/.25 w/ 4 tables; $1000 move up to .25/.50 w/ 4 tables. I know it's aggressive but I'm shooting for 20k by June

ok.. no more playing 4nl when I'm not in the mood to play.. because i get punted in the balls when I do it.

Maybe some of us here should move to merge gaming :P

a mob of stations just stole my friggin rent!

I swear it wasn't me :P

Shortstacks always get there ... it's a scientifically proven fact

Thoughts on firing third barrel with the idiot end of a straight. First few orbits so no reads.

I think your only called by hands that beat you so I check. Hands you beat will prob fold so a bet doesn't seem right in this spot IMO. (edit *I guess 2-pair will prob call. Interesting spot)

Ya I agree with checkmate, your only going to be called by better hands here and MAYBE two pair? I guess he could also have one pair and a FD, in which case he has to fold if you bet. I see players at 5nl c/c to the river with flush/straight draws even when they're facing pot sized bets.
