Fitting in at NL10 |
 |
1 | |
I was kind of lonely at the NL10 tables last night. I felt like I didn't fit in.
There were all these really tight players sitting around the table, not calling my PF raises with AA, KK, QQ, A8s, 82o etc.
"Hey, does anyone want to play with me?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you're too loose. You're raising trash like 77 on the cut off. You're a looser."
"Am not!"
"Looser!"
"Stop it!"
"Loooooooser!"
I amuse my lonesome self by stealing the blinds from UTG for a couple of orbits. Then a couple of guys come in and start spewing chips. They suck out and double their stacks, much to the consternation of the tight kids. Wow. These are obviously the cool kids at the table!
"Hi! Can we be friends?"
"No."
"Why? I want to learn how to suck out too! Maybe we can suck out together!"
"You're too tight. You don't give yourself room to suck out," said one, as he got his chips in with an off-suited three-gapper, "You're a tag!"
"Am not!"
"Tag!"
"Stop it!"
"Taaaaaaaag!"
It was too much for a poor grinder to take. Next hand I got 88 and raised it on the button. Two callers, one of them short stacked. Flop was AJT. I checked. The next guy checked. The short stack shoved all 45c of his money into the pot.
Well, I was sure he had at least a pair and I was getting 1:5 odds to call and I could count my outs on the fingers of one hand with three fingers missing, but I really wanted to fit in so I called and the next guy folded.
The turn was a queen. The river was a 9. The short stack showed A2 and I proudly showed off my straight.
"Hey, look! I hit a runner runner gut shot straight! I sucked out! Wanna play?"
The short stack left without a word. Maybe he thought it was a fluke.
But I really hope I see him again so I can show him that it was no fluke. I really do know how to suck out!

Think they'll let me play?

what is your average ptbb/100 for nl10? |
|
| 1 | |
Since May 1st, when I started getting some coaching, it's been around 6.5 for the last 7,700 hands. I believe it can go higher, though. I'd like to hit 10ptbb/100 at least, which will bring my winrate in terms of actual cash in line with my winrate at NL5. |
