1-3 hours a night, 4 tabling. Start with one table though, make sure you're getting good reads on your opponents, then move to two, and don't add any more until you achieve the same level of comfort that you had with one table.

I do need to work on my postflop game and its good that you point that out. In the meantime I get around that fact by taking advantage of weaker players when I have position or a stronger hand. OOP just makes it so much harder and I prefer to keep things easy until I improve as a player.

Most of us here are building our roll and gaining exp so pointing out the easy way is what Im all about.

Absolutely nothing wrong with taking a flop on this hand if your post flop game is good enough.

fold pre

as played 3bet flop ... villian looks like he has an overpair ... if it's AA we have 13 outs ... if it's TT-KK, we have 16 outs ... using the rule of 4 and 2 to calculate hand equity, we are ahead in both cases (13 x 4 = 52%) (16 x 4 = 64%) ... if he shoves snap call

turn is a fold as played

I totally agree that position is huge at the micros and you are wise to avoid playing pots OOP but I think KJs/KQs/J10s type hands get a lot of value at micros since people are stacking off so terribly/light so personally I feel ok taking a flop with them If you don't feel comfortable I absolutely agree with fold pre but you really shouldn't be THAT scared of playing a hand like KJs oop. It's pretty straight forward. Only flops you are going to get into major trouble with is K high flops which even then you shouldn't be losing big pots with.

Your posts are always helpful and this one is no different. Since posting in these threads my game has def improved.

getting c/r in a 3way pot with an overpair is almost fun

Thanks mate, good advice but Im never folding pre vs that villian when rest of the table is so passive, a suited ace is way ahead of most of his range. Think your right though, a shove or 4 bet looks good after he 3 bets flop.

I dont have specific limits except <=4 tables and playing well. Won't play at all if I don't think I'd play well. I'll generally open 3 initially but play tight on all for first few orbits. I'll open a fourth if I've been at the limit a while. I'll check tables regularly if they are still worth sitting at. If I'm ever not playing well or only left with one table I that is good and I have "lots" of hands on I'll end session. No real use "continuing" a session when it basically means finding all new tables and reads, unless you have position on a super mega ultra tilted fish on someone on the last table .

Yeah, just so its been pointed out: This is the exception to basically all my PF rules. I'll rarely cold call out of BB, and rarely even play J9o except BU.

Thanks for the rest, I am starting to curse two pairs that aren't top two .

Two pair that's not top two has a decent amount of negative implied odds at micros since most donks are stacking off with top pair and you will be counterfeited a fair bit. I hate stacking off with middle two pair tbh.

I agree but like you said at the micros people stack of with tptk so often its got to be profitable long term?

Thanks for the answers. I play 1-2 Hours a night on two tables, and i can do that comfortably and leave turning over a profit.

I was gonna try PM you BlaneH, see if we could chat on MSN, but my account is too new atm lol.

lol the 49/19 at my table (my direct right) is pretty much hitting everything in the deck and stack donk after donk just donating their money to him..... I feel a buyin or two coming my way

Know what you mean lol. As you have position I would 3 bet light and he will prob pay you off when you hit a hand.

hitting a hand is what seems to be the problem here.

Oh definitely. I'm just saying I never feel TOO confident when doing it.

lol yeah, stick with it and he will pay you off eventually.

Know what you mean. If I have position and the board isn't too draw heavy I will check the turn for pot control and value the river if it didn't complete any obvious draws.

well i went against myself after saying i was gonna be really BR nitty before taking more shots at 25nl..

watched a DC vid and was feeling motivated to try again..

played 2 tables for like an hour just to get a feel for what the regs do and really paid attention to the differences between 10nl and 25nl..

played 220 hands made $14 so i was happy and quit while i was ahead

656-670

For all those who hate short stackers. I have position of a guy trying to play short stack (but is deep). Taken 2 buyins off him in three hands of the 26 at this table thus far. He's on my direct right, he basically shoves over any PFR. KK > 55, AQ > 33, AA > 77 (on flop)

mbn

I deliver. A graph of a short stacker to cheer anyone up at the beats they deal you .



EDIT: I'm hands 3, 8 and 26 I think.

An average of 1 set every 32 pp's is standard right?

You would 3bet light because there's a guy sitting to your right who is a 49/19? Come sit at my table, I'll save you a spot on my left..

What not to do:

Bluff someone off aces @ 10nl with KJs = -1 Buy In
Play 8X 1.10 45 mans and only cash once for 7th place = -$6.80
Play the $1R and lose everytime you go in PF with the Best Hand = -$5
Tilt and play 2 $3.40 9 Man STT and once again lose everytime with the Best Hand= -$6.80

A really bad day in both SnG's as well as Ring Games - BR $820

Not going to play until tomorrow and grind out some of those $1 Satellites to the 250k.
