Lost to 58o.
Blinds were 300/600, had only 3200 chips, i'm on big blind, last hand before the lunch break.
Everyone fold to the button which raise to 1500, i've seen him play borderline, enough to say it was a real fish but folded a lot of hands after reraise before when we were on the same table before. He raised like a scared monkey, it's was pretty obvious he wanted to steal the blinds.
I find 56s SB fold, i raise allin to 3200 because meh, dunno, maybe because i wanted to leave after that.
Unfortunately he called. Seriously 58o ?
Whatever, the experience was pretty good though, surprisingly i didn't feel under pressure at all and everyone was cool with my handicap (i'm deaf) so they got patient whenever i was not sure if i heard the bet correctly or if they checked through.
After that i went to a cash game. Bought only 150e because i didn't really know how the cash games were being played. Blinds were 2/4e and most of them had bought only like 100 to 200, exception for the regs which were kinda high but i suspect they got it by playing the fishes.
Needless to say, it was extremely profitable. Ended up +150 in 2 hours. I was kinda tired, and my home was 1 hour away so i stopped it here.
Overall pretty good experience so far. Obviously because of the positive session but still, i was feeling really good both in the tournament and the cash game.
I'll probably try it again.
Now time to sleep, cheers and don't forget, don't tilt.

Yeah, true though, thought he'd fold because he didn't have a big stack either, probably 6k to 9k is that enough to call ? I'm not familiar sorry.
I'm still somewhat in shock about the 58o
Whatever ~
@kingpowa : Played at barriere casino at La Rochelle.
there's also 1 table of blackjack. Dunno if it's juicy but felt it was easy, never played it though. Dealer stop at 17. Isn't it profitable ? |

Are you the same guy from TL that is like almost 90% deaf? Do you think this would be an advantage or disadvantage for you when you are playing live? |

It has his pros and cons, obviously. Pros being able to spot every move theyr'e doing, you're paying more attention to your environment and you aren't disturbed by the sound around you, be it music, annoying noises, or talkatives mouths.
Cons are you can't hear the tone of the voice of others players when you're asking whatever question to them.
I don't think there's a lot of an edge. + i've been training myself by playing starcraft to play with a very strong poker face
I mean, it was gross to see a player with a very open mouth playing right ? :D |

Played a second night at live cash game. ended up +50 after losing like 100 euros because of a failed squeeze against 2 mid/strong players.
for those interested : for the sake of number's simplicity, let's say that reg1 has like 500+ stack and reg2 has 202 euros, me around 380.
Seat 1 hero (380) UTG +1
Seat 2 fish (~60)
Seat 5 reg1 (~500)
Seat 6 reg2 (202) CO
Around 9 players, Seat 9 is the buton
Blind 2/4 euros
I'm dealt K4o played very tight/solid and i know they both know i'm not playing loose. Raised like only 3 or 4 hands in 30 hands and shown 1 KK.
I raise to 12, both reg calls, everyone fold.
Flop is A2Q with 2 hearts, i've the King of heart
I check, reg1 raise to 20, reg2 calls, i 3bet to 90, reg1 folds, reg 2 go allin for 180 remaining chips.
I know, K4 is garbage. However i was folding like 15 straights hands, so i thought they'd be respecting my raise by now, and then i'd leave the table cauz i wanted to play it as the last hand.
So I folded. What's your thoughts here ? |
