Switch sites ???

I don't think its against either the letter or the spirit of the rules, as long as the stakes are similar ...

What do you mean doc ? You play LHE to start with - you must have the patience of a saint and be immune to pain already !

I've been trying to learn PLO since the beginning of the year.

So, these very small nano-stakes limit games are trying my patience.

Yes, good idea OB

Mike you can move your challenge BR and continue at any other site you want. I should caution you though, while the LHE games on FTP are usually very good, I have not been able to connect to their game server in several months. Probably doing some maintenance, so try one of the small networks like Merge

Ever done a limit holdem 100/100/100 challenge? Loads of fun and you get to let your inner lag out (preflop, at least).

I think it was paid two ways. Most total BB's won (or the least lost) and the best BB's at the highest level played. (I think).

Bella's video of her playing the 100/100/100 at PS 1/2 was the nuts. I think I still have it somewhere.

Yeah good idea OB. I think I will wait a couple of days and if there is still no more action on Cake at those levels, I will move it over to another site.

This sh*t is driving me crazy. Started .05/.10 with $1.51, I went all the way down to all-in and won that hand. Then I go all they way up until I'm 2BB's away from my goal, $3.00. So close. And now I'm back down $1.54 just about where I started.

Time for sleep and I'll continue the madness tomorrow.

Doc

Edit: 100/100/100 challenges are more fun and don't last near as long.

this ****ing challenge is so ****ing tilt inducing it burns my ****ing tits ,,,,


dumped 5 BI ... and once I was down to 4BB and was raise every decision just to bust out, and of course I win like 4 hands in a row to get back over $1, so I have to be sensible again

actually get to $1.47 at one point gah !!!!

and I had 2 Royal flush draws ... one on the flop ... needed Kd, but it turns out villain has KdKx to beat me .... grrrrrr


****ing stupid challenge ,,,,

OK ended session @ $22.82 after 162 hands. It was very frustrating, I was able to get to 29.7BB but also twice was down below 5BB and simply luckboxed my way back

Will take a break for awhile, see if any challengers can get close then I can go again.

Or, if I can find a soft FR table at .50/$1 I may try to get up another level but those 6max tables were tough at the last couple levels, and I really don't know how to play LHE well anymore (if ever lol)

Will post a lolhand and my graph so far, I'm sure I will get harassed for my near bustout hand with AKo since I played it so terribly and still luckboxed on the river

Graph so far in challenge, may well stop here.






This is how close I came to busting out, Mike was railing me and had a good laugh about this hand

I busto'd again at .05/.10. As far as the AK hand, so far I've been playing the role of the villain with JJ and getting rivered.

challenge BR .. $1.50 ... in about 68 hands ...

Got to $1.51 on a hand where I was in the BB and didn't have time to click sit-out before I was dealt in ...

pocket 3s ... and I would have flopped a set, but I had to do the sensible thing and fold
