Not a bad start at 25NL for me. People seem to be just as bad at 25NL as at 10NL. Got a 78/0 and a 55/0 to my immediate right on a table. It's like printing money

There is plenty of them, just look out when they start raising

Time for a meeting from hell, 9-16

FML!

My 32/5 buddy awakens:

Grabbed by Holdem Manager
NL Holdem $0.50(BB) Replayer
SB ($94.85)
BB ($56.75)
UTG ($99.65)
UTG+1 ($42.65)
UTG+2 ($67.50)
Hero ($50)
BTN ($62.65)

Dealt to Hero Q

fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, fold, Hero raises to $2.50, fold, fold, fold, UTG+1 calls $2

FLOP ($5.75) 5

UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $2.50, UTG+1 calls $2.50

TURN ($10.75) 5

UTG+1 bets $10.75, Hero folds

UTG+1 wins $10.25

Why are you only betting half the pot? You should be betting 75%-PSB! I am not sure if i can fold this after making a PSB on the flop. Although those loose passive guys love to open-limp with SC's

After tanking my bankroll, I tried playing 10NL. Lost some more there, as it is unbelievably frustrating, and puts me on tilt I think. Nobody ever folds to a 3bet preflop, nobody ever folds to a cbet, nobody ever folds ace high. It is infuriating.

I realize that it is exploitable, but it makes me angry how bad they play, and puts me on tilt. I am playing like 12/10 and they still don't fold.

When somebody is like 60/50, and doesn't fold to a 3bet preflop, and doesn't fold postflop, what should I do when I miss? or should I just basically be shoving preflop against them? Or just betting more? I am not sure. I am not used to playing against people so so bad, so I could use a few pointers about playing super donks...anyone? Please?

I saw a 300bb deep stack do that yesterday at NL100. Was playing 80/10.
Bet $20 into a 10 dollar pot when I had midset. I was like woah woah woah!! I GOT YOU NOW!!, it was kind of drawy so I popped it up like 2.5 and he snapfolds....

wtf. i cried a little.

You have heard this before. You will hear it again in the future.

[size=huge]YOU WILL HEAR IT NOW!!!!!![/size]

Do not bluff in the micros. Never is close to optimal. Never [size=huge]IS[/size] optimal when playing the villain you outlined above. CBets are considered bluffs if you miss.

Thanks for the tips and links, I definitely think I am trying to bluff too much. I just find it difficult to not, but I guess I have to work on it.

ps. I have 14 Google wave invites, if you want one, pm me.

if someone has a wide range and calls a ton of 3bets then you start opening your 3bet value range. you can 3bet stuff like KQo for value against this person.

OMG can't listen to complaining about people not folding garbage. I'm finally hitting the small stakes after grinding through the micros. I would love to have more than 1 villain like that every 10 tables.

Just don't play fancy and you will crush. I promise you when you get back to where they respect your raises that you will miss those villains.

Played an early AM session before work for the first time in forever. I thought the shortstacks at nighttime were out of hand! It was unbelievable at the fiddy this morning!

I have to say, I know I'm probably setting myself up for some disappointment, but I'm a little excited about what the FT announcement about SSers will be. Not just because the games might get better, but also, this might complete the cash game trifecta for this year: we got filters, we got security tokens, and now hopefully a reasonable solution for the shortstackers. Crossing my fingers.

Did you finally moved up to the quarters? Congrats then

I am always looking for someone who wants to start deep tables with me

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Yup, just had my first session last night. I figured I was in for another rough transition after I went down 2BI early on, but there were so many fish out there that I just kept winning good pots even though I was relatively card dry. And this was during the nit hours. Just had the early cooler where my Qs ran into As and the late cooler where my second nut straight ran into the nut straight. (jerk flat called my steal attempt with AK! I've got like Kx and flop comes TJQ. Of course, the turn had to be a 9 and that was the end of that.)

If I ever see you on my fish list, I'll be sure to look you up, haha.

Has anyone actually received this god damn security token from FTP? I ordered it whenever it first came out.

I am a diehard Longhorn fan and alumni, and you're right. Bama looked damn good on saturday. They scare the **** out of me after the anemic performance out of our offense. Can't wait for the game. Dad and I will be making our 3rd trip in 5 years to the Rose Bowl. Love it.
