I know I promised a limit vid like 2894329483 years ago but that was just as I started my awesome downswong. I've since re-entered crush mode but want to make sure that it's because of good play and not just good luck. Can anyone *cough*FPaulsson*cough* take a look through a session for me? My average session length is 450-550 hands. It's 9max 1/2 still.

For anyone who has an idea what good limit stats look like here's mine from the session I just finished. I know it's limited info for now, but just for some quickies:

Just got back from a vegas trip.

+5bi at 100nl at Bills gambling hall. Long session, drank too much, but it sure was fun to have more in my stack than the rest of the table combined.

Then 2 days later, +2 Bi at 200nl at Flamingo which I cut short to go play in a MTT at harrahs

Won the MTT.

It was a thing of beauty if I say so myself. When the blinds were 25/50 ish, I had almost all the 25$ chips on the table. When the blinds increased, I then had almost all the $100 chips on the table. I think I only had to show my cards like 6 times in total.

Ship!

After all the drinks, dinners, taxi fares and christmas presents I bought, I still came home with more money than I went with.

I've been seeing lots of damage done when I get it in good recently.. It is so demoralizing. For some reason I keep playing

Table was insane. Big stack was just flipping, it was about waiting and picking a spot. I found one unfortunately.

Fold preflop, that is a god awful hand in PLO especially after a 3 bet. Post flop is standard I guess.

Yeah, I saw the hand history and immediately thought it was PLO8.

In other news, anyone playing the Mini FTOPS event #5 tonight?

 

[Marginal]

Yeah, I'm registered, Hate stud h/l but I know enough about the game and there will be a ton of fish that should make it pretty profitable.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

You guys are all jackasses.

My PLO point system says A255 triple suited is the mortal nuts from the small blind.

Any hand with an ace add 50 points.
A hand with a suit add 32.3 points.
A hand with a a pair in it add 1000 points.
If your hand is a double gutshot short straight draw add 10 points.
If your hand would be great in another card game add 22 points.

Anyone playing MiniFTOPS #6, PLO 6max?

yes, will also be in the rebuy got 6.5k lol not going very well

 

[slycbnew]

yes, will also be in the rebuy got 6.5k lol not going very well

gl in both! I busted out early, shoved top set on the turn into a combo draw that hit...

 

[Debi]

Full Tilt started acting up right before I was going to register - I closed it then it wouldn't open at all. So I had to re-start my computer and ended up just blowing off the re-buy since it was late and I was irritated.

Good luck in both guys!

Do you stack AK here? Because if you do - and i wouldn't blame you for it - losing the $50 would become a cooler instead of a bad beat. The ev line only takes into account a really small part of luck in poker. Stop looking at it.

 

[tenbob]

omg play more you bum

I touched about why i havnt played more this year on my blog. Donking around on nl$50 atm, leaving over 4K on Paddy Power because there VIP programme now sucks, and for some strange reason I rekon that they will change it back. Meh might just withdraw it and stick it on betfair or somewhere. Still I like the stars software, but i only have like $900 on it.

I dont really end up oop with AKo in 3 bet pots all that much, unless im playing against a total maniac donk, who is deep and has 3bet small. I get where you are coming from though. When I played lots this time last year (16 tables) I didnt have time to look at EV graphs. My summer breaks has let a few bad habits creep in i guess.
