Today I started playing the next limit up for me which is $.5/$1 6 Max LHE. Didnt have a hell of a lot of success. Played around 1.5k hands so far today and Im only up 2 BB. I think Im running pretty bad though so its alright.

Some people just play there hands terrible man. A couple of times I thought I was ahead based on the way the action was going but then some guy shows me AK at the river to beat my AJ that I raise on the turn. I had KJ run into KQ a few times AJ into AQ, AK. All pretty standard stuff so Im not really phased at all. Here are a few hands from the session.

NOTE - LHE not NLHE

HAND 1

I think I played the hand alright. If I were to play it again I would probably 3bet preflop. He played it pretty bad Id say. I just got unlucky there and he luckboxed me.

HAND 2

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=575606

This was a shitty one where he had KQ over my KJ. I tried to show my strength on the turn with a raise and he ended up just calling me down. He probably should have 3 bet unless for some reason he put me on AK or two pair which might be possible from the BB I suppose. Pretty standard again.

HAND 3

Again I got out kicked here this time my AJ ran into his AK. I really hate AJ in the SB. Its really hard to play from there. I actually really odnt like AJ that much at all period but what can you do? I raised the turn here to get him to fold any pocket pair or the flush draw. He for sure should have 3 bet this hand after I raised him on the turn. So yea just running a little shitty here.

HAND 4

Pocket aces FTW. Good thing I had the Ad or I would be shitting bricks on this river. Still would have bet/called down here no matter what if I didnt have the Ad though.

HAND 5

http://www.liquidpoker.net/hand/hand.php?hand=575612

I cant say that I always run bad though. Love hitting sets then Quads on turn lol. Got max value out of this one.

A lot of pretty standard shit so Im not discouraged or anything. Going to take a break for a bit because the tables are pretty shitty right now. Probably play a bit later tonight when the fish come out. Sucks that I got hockey though because we are getting bag skated tonight so Im going to be pretty tired when I get home and might not have the urge to put in some hands.

Anyways hope everyones having a great day.

UPDATE

I knew I was running pretty bad today. Just figured I would play through it and eventually variance would come back in my favour. I managedt o get unstuck and rebound makin about 50BB but I am only up about 15BB. I think Im done for the day. StarWars is on right now and then Im going to to hockey. After that I think Ill go smoke a J with my buddy and pack er in for the night

GL =0 .5 / 1 LHE isn't very hard from what I remember. I was beating it as a total newb with very basic poker knowledge.

I have no comments on the hands - just looking at them tilts me cause I hate limit, haha.

the very question is: at least you win ! Prepare to do everything right and lose 100BB, this will happen for sure sooner or later :-D

1st. Raise PF, everything else is standart.
2nd. You can consider c/r flop to boot out the 3rd player.
