MicroCrushers Thread!!!!!

I reviewed my winnings at 10nl this morning for the month and wasn't happy with what I saw. Overall -$20.38 for the month over about 3757 hands, graph looks horrible. Decided to play 5nl for the day, ran into lots of fish and ended up +$18.56 over 937 hands, 19.81 BB/100! graph is like stairway to heaven.

Maybe I've just been running good today. Can't help feeling my game just isn't cut out for 10nl yet though... or maybe I'm just not given it enough time for variance to put me in the positive.

There's a lot of small samples in this post, just keep going at 10nl as your only 2 bi's down, and the 900 hands at 5nl shouldn't convince you otherwise, maybe give yourself another 4bi's at 10nl??

 

[slowhand]

Doc yeah thanks good advice. Last time I played with you I was playing particularly bad I remember, I know I still struggle when the pots get big. Orange I see what you're saying about samples. Think ill play 5nl to get roll back to $300, I'm at about $280 then go back to 10nl. Think I need those 30 BI to feel comfortable to play unscared.

 

[Logan2]

i'm starting to think that making decent folds is just as, if not more, important than anything else tbh, like can't really word it right but being able to b/f really well is essential imo

Need to bold that because i feel is so important. I can make several small pots but just one ****ing big mistake where i can´t fold a hand is a lot of times the difference between end my sessions on green or red.

When reviewing hands looks so easy to fold a hand, but when playing and only have seconds to think is so damn hard to let it go.

NH! Still though you shouldnt min raise. Make it like 1.25 or something on the turn

ahahha whyd he overbet?

 

[pocketehs]

What does it mean when your blue line is waaaaaayy ahead of your green line? is that a good thing or a bad thing?

 

[ScottishMatt]

Nah don't raise the flop. Look at this moron, you raise and he folds or puts you all in. I like the way you played it, if an A or Q comes you just call him down and win anyway.

And **** the minraise, this just lets everyone at the table know you have the nuts and how you play it. Make it 1.00 minimum, and only that small to induce spew from a fish like this.

 

[ScottishMatt]

What does it mean when your blue line is waaaaaayy ahead of your green line? is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It means your redline is below break even. Unless you use PT3 and blue means something other than showdown winnings.

The "waaaaaayy" part means you are losing a significant amount before showdown.

 

[micromachine]

^^ Blueline means SD winnings on PT3.

Pocketehs, it's fine and normal at the micros. Just means you win most of your money at SD.

 

[ScottishMatt]

Just like MM said. It's because people call too much at the microstakes, if you are a winning player it is because you dominate them at showdown and not before. Depending on how steep the redline is you might be too aggro or too passive in certain situations.

How steep is it?

 

[micromachine]

^^ Yah and they also don't fold enough. It's hard to have a positive redline when a lot of villains don't have a fold button.

 

[Yoshimiii]

This was insane lol, I was up against an AGG fish with all three hands and he folded all three times . Three kings one after the other.

micromachine, got round to checking my rake stats for my short time at 888, thats 0.62c per 100 hands :/

 

[Logan2]

Was looking on leakbuster-preflop stats and get this.



So most winnings come when enter a pot unopened, and spewing like if was tobacco when alreay raised. Is this comun in general? or calling too much? What filters could run to look deeper on to this?

Winning from every position but SB/BB are -23bb/-22bb, already spot that calling too much from sb with non suited conectors.

[orangepeeleo]

do vpip=true for starters, maybe blinds and stuff are exaggerating results with raisers before you?

 

[AlfieAA]

right guys i have a question on pocket pairs.....small/medium pp's
im not sure whether or not to play s/m pp's and when and if to play them...
what are the reasons for not playing them, and when and where would i play them.....and when is a pair not a middle pair...8's?.....

atm im playing all pp's in all positions coming in for open raises or flat calling if someone has raised behind....im not gonna 3bet pocket 3's lol, so i just call....would you guys 3bet pocket 8's though?....obv i know about the +20 rule that makes set mining profitable etc, and i my positional play is solid, so i can take advantage if i do hit sets etc, but yeah anyway, thanks for any feedback, i think once i get this part of the game sorted i will crack on without any problems.....cheers

 

[Jackle43]

I always open raise any pp unless the table is loose and I know I will most likely get 3bet, but for the most part im opening them all in 6max. If i have 3s IP I will probably flat to a single raise look at a flop and try to hit a sit or outplay Villian. If im in the blinds with 77+ and a loose button raise opens I will 3bet that all the time even with 22+ against aggressive positional raises actually...

 

[Jackle43]

Just play them according to the table and play them cautiously

Having thought about it some more I have come to some conclusions, I think like you say, its table dependent....you dont wanna be opening 22 UTG if the table is aggressive or shortstacked (not that I would sit at a shorty table anyway)...but yeah, we are gonna get in trouble when loosey flats our raise...we miss the flop and we fold....coz if we continue then you know he has hit middle/top pair otf or has combo draws that he will chase like an ephiopian chasing a dinner ticket.....anyway this is as far as I've got....still thinking
