*** January's Juxtaposed Pokahz Chat ***

Just Had such a swingy session, had some luck, some beats but overall not too happy with myself. Didnt play very well so pretty annoying but think I ended up about +2.5 BI's.

Dear Diary,

Today I took a shot at 25nl. I started with 20 buy-ins. I now have way less. That is all.

P.S. I don't wanna go back to 10nl.

Best way to end up back at 5nl imo.

Is there any point to raising those tilting min-blocker bets at 10NL?

No worries, I'm planning on sticking to 10nl 'til I get back to 21 buy-ins for 25nl. Then GO GO GADGET DOMINATION.

If you have nothing, absolutely not. Especially if they're short-stacked, I feel that you're just spewing money. It blows to fold in those spots, but it's the most profitable thing to do at 10nl and below.

Not unless you beat top pair/no kicker. I guess some will do it with ace high, but seen it with sets too. They're almost never folding...omg you've put me on tilt just mentioning them. :dong:

lol yeah I think I've tried it like once, obv didn't work...but it seems like they throw out a min-bet, but are still prepared to call anything.

Cliff notes:
-3bet or fold when im not geting set mine odds
-C-bet OOP
-Punish limpers
-Stop being a pussy about raising limpers from the BB with a marginal hands
-Stop being a complete nit

no clue.

btw, if you signed up for stox and you play at full tilt, you need to sign up at http://www.trulyfreepokertraining.com too. Gets you extra months at stox for free and cardrunners membership too (you need to create a free account first) based on how many ftp points you collect per month.

Each day is like groundhog day for me lately. Drop 5 stacks, grind it back to get unstuck, then boom drop them again!!!!
