10k holla!

Well, 10,500 actually :)

Just booked a super heatterrrrr 1400 win to boost my BR up. Gonna post a few hands i played and talk through them.

Hand 1:

http://weaktight.com/123494

Opp is Taggy, but pretty bad.. so when he calls my 3 bet i put him on a pretty wide range, including all pp's, and random SCs n stuff. Pretty sick flop, but after he calls i'm 90% sure he doesn't have a set, 2 pair or a big combo draw, as i think he'd raise and get it in ASAP. Turn is a crappy card as he pairs his Ax hearts, so i check and expect him to check behind with an OESD/FD that the A didn't help, but think he'd shove Ax hearts once i check. Anyway, he checks behind so im very confident he has some sort of draw. River kinda sucks because the OE got there, but i think a FD is much much more likely with his line, so i check and he instaaa jams which makes me feel a bit sick. I think about folding but realise that i'm far too much of a station and say something in the chat like DONTBLUFFME, and call. He rolls over 78, shipitholla.

EDIT: lol, the T was irrelevent as the OE already got there, i know, i know.. :\
The 1 card OE and the FD missed is what i was getting at (or trying to)


Hand 2:

http://weaktight.com/123495

This hand was very sexy, as we're pretty deep. Opp is very aggro postflop. Std raise and set hunt call for me preflop. Once the flop hits i immediatly decide to CR, because i love to CR air on these kind of boards, especially deep because it puts villians in tough spots with big pairs vs my 3 bet calling range. He checks behind which is kind of unusual for this opp, and it really got me thinking. Once the turn comes and i quad up, i lead out to see where he's at in the hand and now he raises. At the time i actually thought it was a bluff as his line makes very little sense for TT+, so elect to call and check/jam any river. River comes, i check.. and he shoves the rest into me. Kinda suprised to see AA here, as it's the first time he's played a big pair like that. Guess he wanted some pot control and decided i'd call off with worse on the river. Either that or a misclick :p


Hands 3+4.

Just a few "lol wtf" hands for you to enjoy. Probably not as much as i did though :D

http://weaktight.com/123496 K HIGH ISN'T GOOD HERE EVER, EVEN AGAINST ME.

Anyway, iv'e played 7700 hands so far @ a decent winrate of 7BB/100 (unsustainable for me), and hopefully should have closer to 75k hands played this month rather than the original 50k. With a winrate of 4BB/100, 75k hands should net me $12k profit, plus RB obv. So anyways, time for sleep and a silly day @ uni before the everlasting grind continue's! :)

very nice hands, the quad hand was beautiful.

the first hand though. how does the 10 on the river let the OE get there?

also, do you play with pahud - if you do, how does that come into play with your decisions?

The OE gets there because Chris is on crack and doesn't realize the str8 was already there :P. Or I guess the possibility that he mis-posted the hand, but I'm going to stick to the orginal Chris is on crack story.

PAHUD helps us more accurately define villains range of hands when we are not paying attention/playing too many tables to notice villains tendencies. For example it should be pretty clear why you have to play differently vs. a 60/2 compared to a 25/20 in order to optimize your profit. Of course PAHUD doesn't tell you everything. :)

Unknown said...

figured he was just smokin something ^_^

i know what you mean by 60/2 and 25/20, but how should you look at those PAHUD stats for a full ring game vs a 6 handed game?

like, a 25/20 guy in a 6 ring vs a 25/20 guy in a full ring.. etc etc.

also what others stats do you like to use? i've only had PAHUD for a short time, but I find cont. bet and FFB helpful so far.

pokerfiend said...

Well I really don't play a lot/any full ring, but if they are good and positionally aware these stats have to be adjusted obviously. Like in 6 max a positionally aware 25/20, may open only 15% UTG and 40% on the button.

To answer your question, I believe 25/20 would be considered quite loose at FR, whereas its pretty standard at 6max. Like I run slightly tighter than this on average, and would probably be considered TAG in these games, whereas Chris averages somewhere in the range of 34/28 or something, which is considered LAG.

I'm not sure what numbers are for FR but I would assume that you could play high limits at like 12/10 in FR and still be profitable, whereas on the norm this would not be profitable at short handed tables.

Unknown said...

yeah I have no idea what the standard for full ring is in the smaller stakes.

it's amazing how many players are at either 35/8 or 4/4. very easy to pick on the 4/4 guys...

so far from the sessions i've played i'm running at 16/10 and doing alright.

it seems like once players move up in terms of limits, generally players move to six handed games...is that to get more hands in?
