another one for the books.( of horror) I know this play is kinda bad, but ive noticed that you can pull off plays like this back to back and your not gonna get too many people calling, although they are,in the longrun, recipees for disaster. right?

Nice one on the bink vinyl!! Just moved up to 5nl and wondered if there was any real differences than 2nl?

well, in my opinion, there really isnt that big of a difference. People play pretty reckless at 2NL. If anything, i find 5NL to be a bit easier cause people are not exactly shoving ATC. So the game has just a bit of a better flow.


but that depends on which site your playing on etc etc. For ZOOM poker on stars, 2 NL and 5NL are pretty much the same thing. Just be solid and youll do fine. Get value and dont bluff.

Chess for your insight, still found people shoving AK far too easily but that benefits me! Playing zoom on stars. I'm not flatting 56s after a 3 bet anymore 😉

^^^ Theres gonna be alot of people doing a lot of things. some are folding QQ pre and some are 3 bet shoving KJ off.

In my opinion (and after trying alof of playing styles), the one that will serve you best in the micro-limits is ABC poker. Just fold when your hand doesnt feel like it might be the best hand and bet when you think your getting value and you shouldnt have any problems beating these limits. more or less, thats pretty much the best advice i ever got, so im just trying to spread the love bro.😀

I cashed out and am currently not playing. Might get back to the grind some time next week. Right now im just chilling and i might be playing some mtt's here and there just for fun.



Looking into sng's and mtt's as well. might start grinding them properly for a change.


What are you up to man?

I have not been playing as much either but have been studying and re reading a lot of stuff the last few weeks trying to actually develop a solid 100BB cash game.

Will be making another deposit in the next few days and will be attempting my first legit shot at playing and moving up through the micros without going full retard and playing my entire roll on one table :laugh:

I actually had some $ in my account leftover though and have been playing 2NL zoom today .

 

[LD1977]

Just sayin' 🙂

 

[vinylspiros]

full retard is the way to go. 🙂🙂

 

[vinylspiros]

I'm currently playing tourneys on Full tilt and in all honesty, i find them to be WAYYYY softer than stars.

Going to be playing some low buy in ones until i build a roll.



Made some good results today, but 😱😱😱bubbled😱😱😱😱 final table in the first one. 🙁 . ( WAS CLOSE TO SOME BIG BUCKS HERE)🙁





Also ran good in this one earlier today

 

[LD1977]

Yeah FTP tournaments have better structure than PS ones, less people paid (around 1 in 9 instead of 1 in 6) but that means better prizes and the fields are not too hard. But I am not much into MTTs so I play them rarely.

New to the Game are a noobfest but you will burn through the counter quickly if you play normal ones (they all count).

 

[vinylspiros]

Thing that kinda sucks is that they are so "top heavy". I mean, i came out 10th from 1000+ people and i only got 28$. And you see first place which is just 9 places up gets more than 700$. Kinda wierd but the super soft fields overcompensate for that.

 

[LD1977]

PS ones are also top heavy, just they have more prizes so you get consolation money more often.

 

[vinylspiros]

Im starting to enjoy tourneys with maximum 1000 players way more than the 6k+ fields we find on stars. The less the players, the easier the tourney.(and also less time consuming)

 

[hackmeplz]

As a cash player though the steeper the prize pool the less you have to worry about icm stuff and playing insanely nitty and the more you can just worry about chipev.

 

[duggs]

Yea but the less variance you experience the smaller the field size

 

[vinylspiros]

Definitely going to be focusing on more of these low buy in tourneys on FULLTILT. Prizes are crap but they definitely gonna be adding up

Played one more this morning as soon as i woke up and BOOM. vinylspiros crushing the noobs,HOOYAH.

 

[vinylspiros]

As a cash player though the steeper the prize pool the less you have to worry about icm stuff and playing insanely nitty and the more you can just worry about chipev.

I feel like the gazillion of cash game hands that ive played give me a huge edge postflop(esp early in tourney). The tourney players that im up against(at these micro limits) have no clue what to do when they raise AK and miss.

Yea but the less variance you experience the smaller the field size

thats good news man. Ive made more than like 80$ in 1 day playing these micro donkaments. And i only played like 4 or 5 of them so far.


I know it could be rungood, but if you see some one at the final table with 30BB 4 bet jam a 3bet pot with A9off(vs 2 villains), you know that there is gonna be alot of money rolling your way.


TBH, i dont think too many people on stars play THIS bad. Super soft fields.

 

[micromachine]

Nice win, but you're not new to the game? 😉 Wolf in sheep's clothing.

So you're joining me on the mtt grind then? Why aren't you in my thread yet! Check out what happened to me last night 🙂

So mixing in a little 5NL rush poker.

[vinylspiros]

This hand is very similar to the hand above and i decided to go with the check raise line and it worked really nice. Im up like almost 6 buy ins for the night. Fulltilt is A-mazing.

Started off yesterday with 10 bucks and roll is at 90 after some cash and a few MTT's.

Really happy to not be losing.🙂

[vinylspiros]

MM, can you see that the hands are almost identical? In the first one i bet like you said and he called showing a flush.

When we check/raise these type of rivers when we think villain has trips, do you not think it is a better way to get stacks in .


I mean villain is going to stab trips if checked to him most of the time right? I dont think that the fish at 5NL check behind so they dont find themselves in yucky spots.

What do you think?
