I'm sitting nice and happy with a BR of $211.69 on Stars right now, after a really tilty two hour session. I started off the night at $194, but it was just a rollercoaster on 5NL and 10NL tonight. I dropped to $170 at one point, which, now that I think about it, is really nothing at all, but at the time it felt like I was two steps away from tilting off a third of my roll.
I started playing the LAG style I've been developing, but it seemed like my c-bets were being reraised every other hand, on every table. I started to tilt, where I'd call those reraises, fire a second barrel on the turn and then fold in disgust, or 3-bet the flop and then fold when they shove all in. At one point, I looked and saw that I had lost $10 in like 20 minutes, and I told myself to stop playing like a donkey and play proper poker. But I was still steaming, so I played my marginal hands super aggressively, and what made it worse was it seemed like when I lost big pots, they were not only because I played poorly, but on top of that, they were bad beats. For example, I had QA in the blinds, 3-bet the button. Flop came 4QKr. I bet pot, he calls. turn is a 8, putting two hearts on the board. I bet pot again, he calls. River is a Jh. I shove for half the pot, he calls with JJ. Then there's the standard AA versus set, KK versus set...
About halfway through I was down to $170 from the QA hand. I stopped for a second, and then said to myself, LAG is not working tonight, for whatever reason, so don't force it. I switched to "TAG" mode, tightened up considerably, and then for some reason all of my good hands held up, and people started calling me to showdown with third pair, and angels started singing from the heavens and animals gathered in twos outside my window to rail. Then Abraham Lincoln put his gigantic hand on my shoulder and looked me wordlessly in the eyes for what seemed like ages before he nodded, turned sharply, hopped into his batmobile and roared away over the horizon.

LAG at microstakes is a terrible idea. First, people just don't think nearly enough to fold anything ever. Second, most microstakes players trying to play LAG have no idea how to actually do that. |
