*****(Loose) Aggressive April Chat Thread*****

[BelgoSuisse]

You think he'll bet at the river often enough to make ch/raising there better than just betting and letting him call/shove?

With 4 to a flush, it's really hard for him to call a bet when he has no club and it's easier for him to bluff if he has very little.

But maybe it's better if I try to represent a bluff myself.

Frankly, i don't know.

Advice Required Regarding 50NL Shot 2

I felt 5 BIs doesnt really give me an accurate indication of how I can handle it or any limit tbh so do I.

A) work my way up to a BR where I have a 10BI shot

B) only play like 2/4 tables in the shot as oppossed to 8 so time goes slower and hands fill up slower

Obviously both have pros and cons but which would you guys who have made the transition suggest

a) 5 buyin shot is fine, I would hate losing 10 buyins, and have to win 20 back at lower limits to get back, but thats just me :/

b)I would just play as many tables as you are most comfortable with so you have enough time to make good decisions. I would probably get bored and get fps if i played 2/4 tables, but feel like my decisions get rushed after 12. Try finding some good 50 tables, and mix in some 25 with it. If you cant find at least 1 or 2 fish at a table, just leave and look for a better one. At least that is what i have been doing, been working out ok so far.

I kind of like a fake blocking bet there

i think you 3bet a little too much, eNTy. 42.9% is really borderline excessive, imo.

I don't know, I heard <50% was optimal.
It gives your opponents a break and also, if you min3bet and follow it up with a min 17 bet at least, they really don't notice it that much at all..

Been grinding my $50 dollars the past 4 days on Titan at 4NL (I know titan is wierd with its limits, they have 20NL too) . Managed to build my roll upto $90, so i'm feeling good. Haven't felt incredibly lucky or unlucky so long may it continue.
This is the first time i've given cash a real go. In the past i've been awful at it, but a decent bankroll and putting in the hands has really helped.

I need to get pokertracker set up to keep a proper track of where I am. The thing is way beyond me atm.

 

[switch0723]

sigh, so i setup HEM pro, obv do it wrong somehwere do it doesnt work

Just once in my life, when you do something with HEM/PT3, i'd like for it to work first time

 

[blankoblanco]

what's the issue yo?

 

[switch0723]

carrying out their instructions to upgrade to pro works, does it all, registering is successful, activation goes to plan, it says 'COMPLETE YOU ROCK', I'm all like 'YSY' in my head, click ok, and small stake version opens ldo

 

[KingCurtis]

Approaching 2 simultaneous FTs

 

[blankoblanco]

shoot the guy an email/check for info on the HEM forums i guess?

 

[switch0723]

im in talks with support now. First email i sent said ive done everything you said in your initial email on how to set it up, but it doesnt work. First email back was, 'hi, have you done the instructions we told you to?'

 

[blankoblanco]

you run so good at support. next they're gonna send you an email attachment with every hand recorded on HEM in the past year

 

[switch0723]

hahaha

 

[eNTy]

NOES, THE BLUE HEDGEHOG IS BACK, THAT THING SKEERS ME

 

[switch0723]

MUTHA£$"%%!. Anyone who has upgraded from small stakes HEM to Pro, pm me your aim or msn asap please

 

[switch0723]

wtf, its been a whole hour since supports last reply, THEY HADN'T FINISHED DAMNIT.

 

[icemonkey9]

I just had an absolute weirdo fruckin bizarre-o session. I played 5 tables for 30 minutes. 146 hands.

I went back and looked at every hand I raised preflop, and I saw that I was 3bet into a whopping 61% of the time.

Is some sort of memo out there on me?? LOL

 

[bw07507]

holy tits. Just 11-tabled 200NL FR at FT and my god it is waaaayyy fishier than stars. Maybe i just got on at a good time, but wow. If the software didnt tilt the f*** out of me i might consider changing.

 

[The Shrog]

Ring, MTT, SNG...I just can't decide. I've been thinking about a break entirely. Nothing even bad has happened..I'm just in a weird mood.
