lol so Bob crushed him first, but he got me to sit 3/6 with Pokerstars pro JC Alvarado. I guess he may win live but by online standards he was pretty bad. He actually took a buy-in early off me in what I thought was a cooler until I realized he is a complete and utter nit and does not bet or raise without the nuts. Pretty sure if I had reads coulda gotten away from my TP where all he repped was a set. But normally I'm not folding TP when he reps such a narrow range. Anyway made it back and then some. Wish I didn't have to sleep now because I would literally play this dude all night, but gotta get up semi-early tomorrow 🙁.

Villain is one of the most aggro ****tards at 5/10. His running at 14ptBB over 10,000 hands doesn't make me like him more. 5K of his 28K of net profit coming from me doesn't make me like him more either.

Stats: 20/18, 3-bet=12%, AF=42%, 10,200 hands

He's more than capable of doing this with an Ace to get me off a split. Thoughts?

Well I just had my first real session of 50NL in a long time. Lasted 5 and a half hours and it started out pretty shaky. Finished strong though 😛

What do you expect to be call by that you beat here:

Turn: ($5.45) 7

(2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $7.20?????

You hold TPTK on a paired board with a flush possible are you really expecting KQ to look you up when you overbet/shove?

Yeah i guess my play hasn't been top notch on some of them but bad luck > bad skillz by FAR at the min.

Thats the third time this week someones hit a 2 outer for a better full house on the river after i've flopped one, all for stacks as well 😡

Thats me down to $208 in the roll and moving back to 5nl after not even a full week at 10nl, this week could not have sucked balls more if it tried.

This sucks but why are u not all-in by the turn? C-bet the flop imo...but u still lose your stack just make sure u lose it on the flop/turn next time 😀

 

[WVHillbilly]

That sucks Orange but you really need to be betting the flop. Not only does it build the pot so you can get all-in by the river but also because you cbet that flop with the rest of your range that didn't flop the boat.

 

[BelgoSuisse]

+1. This is supposed to be a bad beat, and the way you play it, it's just a cooler. 😱

Why are you not raising the flop? Just wondered coz I usually r/r there 95% of the time or does that just turn our hand face up? River is standard call amirite?

 

[blankoblanco]

raising flop rarely folds out better and rarely gets action from worse. if he continues vs. a raise it usually means we're dependent on our spade outs and 10s (although 10s won't always be good). given it's BTN vs BB 6max 1000NL i'm not expecting to get enough credit to fold out AK with a raise ever and maybe not AJ much either. it's probably much better as a bluff catcher in position and a flush he'll rarely put us on when the spade hits

 

[tenbob]

I'm such a lazy SOB, I simply don't have any motivation to play whatsoever. I had 3 hours to play yesterday evening, played 50 or so hands and just closed off my tables and watched TV.

At least the Ireland/Wales game should provide some entertainment tomorrow.

 

[Irexes]

Some Intellipoker donk just sat my table.

Probably playing his entire roll.

 

[zachvac]

lol I just need fpps so 24-tabling 100nl for a bit on Stars 🙂.

Backpack or Wacktack or something like that I think it was.

how hard can 13 points really be

 

[orangepeeleo]

Sorry for being so whingey and moaney on here in the last few days.

I was really stoked about moving up a limit so it's hit me kinda hard having my ass handed to me by the deck over the last 10k hands and making me move back down, but you know what, its taught me yet another valuable lesson, that it doesn't matter if you have to move back down, you've already beat the level below you so it's just a matter of patience and in time i'll be taking another stab at 10nl, where i will hopefully run a lot better lol.

Moved back down when my roll hit $208, was doing a 25/20 rule but i could only see myself dropping more money at 10nl so i just moved down then, got myself back up to $215 already at 5nl so i'll be back up there soon.

Again, sorry for bein such a whiner, must really piss some of you guys off when i'm bitchin about losing $30 after you've lost a few hundred/thousand over the month.

 

[BelgoSuisse]

Meh. Absolute numbers don't matter. It feels just the same losing $100 at 10nl or $2000 at 200nl, imo.
