Running Bad
Sicks Macks, Oct 22 2008
Just had a horrible session. But I'm pretty proud of how I came back into it. I ran bad in every single way one can: flopped maybe 10 sets in 2k hands, only got more than 1 bet out of two of them; draws rarely got there, ran into the top of people's ranges... and of course cold deck hands!
KK
AA<78o in a 3bet pot
AA
AA<33 with a guy setmining a 3bet pot for 30bbs
Straight + OESFD redraw AI on turn
AK
QQ
After dropping 9 buy ins in an hour, which is really new because I'm:
a) a winning player
b) a massive nit
I decided fuck it. I'm playing through it. I really focused in, played aggressively, and made use of my reads. Held steady despite some more coolers and chipped up through small non-showdown pots. Highlights included:
44 resqueeze on some nits [open, call, 3bet, coldcall, fold, fold, fold, RESQUUEEEEEZAMENTS!, fold, fold, time, fold, time, fold]... entirely read based, inital squeezer said he laid down KK (I though he would def fold QQ-.
More non-showdown wins...
AA > AK on KQ6r flop!
I can suck out too:
JJ > KdQd TdAdJx ... Kx .... Tx money went in on river, so not a true suck out (lol slowplay, I did all the betting IP til riv)
Bluffcatching for a BI with KJss on KhQh6x ... 8h board
AA>OESD on turn
And my personal favorite:
AKs > A6s > A3s on AT7 flop 3 AIs. (They put me on KK?)
All in all I ended down 3bi. Which clearly could have been worse, but is frustrating nonetheless because I designed my play to be low-variance, but if you lose 80-20s, you lose, simple as that. Ah well, shit happens.
Thanks for reading. GL at the tables.
I just got Poker
Sicks Macks, Oct 19 2008
I've felt like I've understood poker for a while. I get ranges, equity, pot odds, all the math stuff. I'm good at picking up patterns and exploiting them. But I just this week got the concept of ALWAYS iso-raising + c-betting weaktight players. It is free money. OMG. It is free money. THIS IS FREE MONEY.
I'm drunk ps. But seriously this makes the game so much easier.
God hates shortstackers

1.5 hours of drinking every time Biden or Palin blamed Wall Street for people spending outside their means

Before I get a bunch of "fold flop" responses... I find I get a lot of value floating hands with so many outs that I won't be given credit for when I bet them (A,5,Q, running clubs, etc).

This is what I get for trying to read an opponent
Sicks Macks, Aug 15 2008
I don't tend to try and read opponents too much. I keep an eye out for general tendencies (opening hands, 3 betting hands etc), but I'm usually a guy who just tries to get money in with the nuts, and raise strong openers. Well, I finally got what I thought was my first genuine read on a player, and decided to hero call because of it... and I get a face full of variance. Oh well.

Also I realize preflop was light; the limping was getting ridiculous... but I don't love A5s. Should have raised more (not that that would have changed anything here).
Apologies for the bad beat post, but I really have never called all in with middle pair in my life.
Introduction
Sicks Macks, Aug 01 2008
Hi all just wanted to introduce myself... long time lurker and new poster. I've learned a lot from this site, and I'd figure I should start posting at some point. I've played poker in home games and casinos for years, but just started online a while back. I deposited $100 on pokerstars and did what I do at a casino: went to the $1/$2 table. I sat down and after a few days had $900. Then I happened upon this site and realized I sucked, really bad, but I had had the most ridiculous hot streak of all time. I cashed out and didn't play for months.
Lately I've been working on my game and have become a very consistent $2 and $5 sng player, but I don't play for anything like the stakes I do at live games. I also play a lot of HORSE and it's consituent games, and I'm usually the best player at the table at any of the ORSE games at low stakes. The only game that I'm actually not a consistent winner at is NLHE cash games. For some reason I'm a slightly losing player (I think, I'm still up from my nl200 run).
Anyways my welcome present for finally registering for lp was the following hand 5 minutes after my confirmation email. It's my first one ever at showdown and it actually got paid off well despite the scary board (I don't understand why people think low stakes sngs are high variance... they are waaaaaay too soft to let the variance interfere with your results).
