Why is UTG+1 just calling with a flush? Fish?

Why is UTG+1 just calling with a flush? Fish?

Super fish. He's the reason I stayed at the table so long.

I am now taking a break for at least a day, got pretty crippled today.

UTG+1 is a 65/2/.6 who won $153 in showdowns in 200 hands. Probably about $40 of that from me while I held things like AA, set, two pair, etc

7 straights for $58.25
4 three of a kinds for $47
16 two pairs for $45.25
4 full houses for $23.25
3 flushes for $18.50
lost $6 with high cards
lost $33.25 with single pair hands.

two hundred hands folks

Whats a good amount of volume for a 6max player??

And is volume all that important, i've cut down to only 3 tables at the min cuz i've moved to FT and cant configure poker shortcuts so having to do everything manually worried i wont get in muuch volume but at the same time i can feel myself concenrating more and making some good decisions.

 

[kleitches]

If you're 3-tabling then 1k a day is a pretty good amount.

 

[vanquish]

people keep putting in half their stack and folding against me

dude, if you take a look at my blog you will see solid proof that the later of the bold is so much more important for your game and winrate. You really should stick to low amount of tables and concentrate on playing winning poker and not hands or ftp points or w.e. Seriously dude I learnt from that mistake last month (graph in blog as proof)

how many hands is he playing?

 

[vanquish]

dude honestly it seems like you're always worrying about results

like every other post from u is like "just dropped $60, my bankroll is down to this and this"

discipline urself not to worry about these short term losses, and perhaps consider moving to a game where ur not always wondering how much you have and how much you've won or lost to some fish who ran good

 

[Jurn8]

how many hands is he playing?

not sure dude but this is what he says

Basically what I would like to happen is everyone who plays from 5NL-200NL to sign. At one point and time everyone above 25NL had to play it as well as the guys coming up will play it. My reasoning for trying to push really hard to get 50bb min tables is that 25NL is the first stake where you can actually make enough money to live off of. I have personally made a steady 2-3k a month this year so far therefore I see no reason why they can't at least add 50bb min tables.

Once we get a bunch of people to sign, vote whatever for 50bb min tables I will email stars with a link to this thread and explain to them that I've made a living from the Quarter the first 4-5 months this year and that the current state is terrible with the rampant amount of short stackers.

 

[switch0723]

2-3k a month at 25nl is definately doable if you run good and grind a ton, but the problem with it is your never exposed to higher limits and better play, so your slowing down your progress of moving up to 200+ and making more than 2k a month. I played 25nl at the same time as dashman, and im now at 200 while he hasn't moved and we make the same amount, i just play like 1/5 of the hours he does, much better life

 

[vanquish]

how much are u making a month switch tell me

 

[eNTy]

i saw one of the first months he ground it out at quarter and im pretty sure it was only 1250

 

[kleitches]

Dashornman used to suck when I played against him a few months ago. He's friends with CJ apparently so maybe he's improved his game. Don't know if I believe he makes 2-3k a month though.

 

[S93]

Im back, not that any one cares or noticed i was gonne .
Who won money this weekend and who suicide tilted?

 

[kleitches]

Just looked up Dash on Stars and he's 18 tabling 6-max tables. Yeah, I'd kill myself if I had to do that for more than 10 minutes. Have fun with that, sir.

 

[vanquish]

i won monie

i smoked lots of weed and hash
