In my last blog I started my ultimate quest - to go up from $0.50 to $1000.
So as I planned i balled $0.1BI tournaments, got up to $2!
It was a long and hard struggle! Even had to bring my laptop to toilet once cuz of diarrhea... It was that intense!
Then, decided to try out playing little Limit Holdem. Damn, its like playing with 9 call stations! You never know what they might have... So if you dont have at least AA or 2pair - better fold...
After getting some lucky hands, I decided to try out HU LH, just for kicks... And got damn lucky! Got to play few guys who would raise to sky with their MPMK... I gladly accept the money!
But then it began.... I regained my confidence back... What a bad thing confidence is... I tryed out NLHE. Playing shortstack of course. First 1k hands went ok, as I would win some all-ins and lose some. So in the end I would be left with some profit.
But today everything went wrong. Had $8, opened 6 shortstack tables, and lost 4 all-ins in 30mins, won - 0... And I thought being AA, KK, QQ, AK tight will make a difference...

And that is what "being pwned by board" means:

So how do you guys play tight poker in lowstakes fullring?
All-in is a coin flip...
If you make top pair or smth, they wont call you (cuz they are tight too)...
Bluffing 5 times and winning will be equaled out by losing a bluff once (same with stealing BB)...
So all you do is keep losing money with BB and getting lucky/unlucky.
While i was playing it seemed that 8 out of 10 ppl in the table were playing according to GroT's guide. So if they raise, they dedicate themselves to that hand.
So, guys, can you explain where is the profit? I dont think you can start playing loose on a FR, cuz somebody WILL have better hand, and I already told you about bluffing.
It's getting really frustraiting, cuz everything I read about poker seems to not apply for lowstakes FR NLHE.
So, I'm back to nuts hunting in limit holdem...
PS, I am starting to feel, that Titan poker doesn't like multitablers... Cuz if I play 2 tables - I can at least play with profit, but with 6 tables - board is always against me.
NL HE

Edit: another sweet hand, and my patience is breaking... Guys help!

shud start with a 50$ bankroll, buy in for 2$ on 0.01/0.02 and just play very tight, you'll get paid off just playing really tight, no worries... |

2NL FR is the easiest game ever. running anything less than 9ptbb/100 is pretty bad.
just play a TAG style and you'll win lots of buyins there |

Ok, i have some questions for you guys.
This is a situation where i lose a lot:
I have AK(AQ) OTB, 3xreraise and get called.
1st scenario - I miss the flop and villian bets potsize, what to do?
2nd scenario - miss the flop, bluff and get called, turn - nothing, what to do? |

1: Fold.
2: don't bluff that often. I made myself some rules for CBetting on these low limits:
a) Dont Cbet if there's not a high card there, at least a Q.
b) Don't cbet if there are 2 high cards coz it's more likely that they hit, and if you make a cbet, they will only call and thus give you no information.
c) don't cbet on scary flops like all same suit, or paired board.
Those rules will make your Cbets less frequent and obviously will be more respected when you do do them. |
