LOL live poker.

Tourney, we're approximately 100 BBs deep. MP raises 3x I call on the button with 88. flop is A53 rainbow. He bets retardedly small I call. turn=8 he checks I bet he raises I raise he calls. River offsuit J. I pot he calls. Flips over AA. Not only does he say he only calls because he's worried that I have 24, but the other people at the table are shocked that we don't both have 24. Do they like not understand card combos and the odds of either of us having exactly 24 especially with a raise and call preflop? Anyway won a flip to double, then still short shoved AT called by QQ can't spike an A game over. Then go over to play some cash. These people are just downright awful, but the structure sucked. It was 1/2 and the most anyone ever bought in for was 60 bucks. Most had between 20 and 40. And the norm is 7-8 limpers and $2 and $4 bets postflop. I start raising and I get like 4-5 callers that each put in like 25-50% of their stack. Anyway I pretty much own the game for a bit, ran up my $100 buy-in to like 350. By this time there are at least some other semi-deep players but still all the pots are small unless I raise.

Anyway, little later I have 56s on the button, I raise the limpers to $14 and get 2 callers. 65x flop, I bet, other guy shoves (had like $50 total to start), other guy folds, I call, 55 obv. Then someone is like "wow you stacked with 2 pair? What did you think he had when he went all-in?". That kinda tilted me a bit lol and combined with some spewy plays and some bad luck (missed an OESFD and stacked AK for TPTK 50 BBs deep against spewtard who obv had J3 for 2 pair) I ended up with like 100 in front again. Then I just flat out tilted and started raising/betting in the dark and ended out the night shoving in the dark. It ended up actually being a flip but of course I never win flips unless they're in the team event. It was fun, wish we coulda done a proper cash game with 100 BBs even if it was just 50nl, but w/e after playing mostly online it's always nice to play a bit live. One of these days I'm gonna stop running like shit in live tourneys though and actually go deep in one of these things.

That sucks, Zach. You could have come down to the other end of the hall. We were playing 50nl but pretty much everyone was buying in for at least $40. I busted out of the tourney when my shove with KQs was called by TT. I hit my K on the flop but the turn was a T and I was out. I ended up playing at the 50nl cash table until around 3AM and managed to pretty much win my tourney buy-in ($55) back but nothing great. It was good to get out and play though.

BTW this is a local tourney a friend of mine runs once a month in the eastern panhandle of WV. If anyone nearby is interested just send me a PM for details. Last night we had 51 entrants and paid the top 6, with the winner taking home $1000. Oh yeah, and the quality of play is generally horrible.

LOL understand card combos? I'd be impressed if the avg casino goer could spell it right let alone tell me what it is and how to figure it out.

Sounds like it was fun and I'm sure it's a nice break from the computer screen..wish I lived near somewhere to play live.

Sorry I didn't mean understand card combos but I mean like understand that having exactly 2 cards is very unlikely. Even people that don't understand poker very well realize that having exactly 24 is pretty unlikely, and that it's especially unlikely for 2 people. Even idiots stack off (happy Vanq?) with KK because they know the other guy having AA is pretty unlikely.
 
oh one other funny hand I have 9 BBs and am on the button with KJ 3 limpers I jam everyone folds and the limper who is last to act folds A8 face up.
 
wow I just got moved in the warmup and Annette_15 is directly to my right. 3 hands later she busts overpair < set. That is the right screen name right? Had a random railer say gg after she busted so I'm assuming it really is her.
 
god I'm REALLY pissed off right now...

I just auto folded quads because of lag on pokerstars...

what the hell...
 
10NL is going good. I don't know why but the money seems to be coming from the showdown pots now instead of NSD like it was in the rest of my career. I like it eventhough I have no clue what changed. My AF is still outrageously high: 8.75 since I started 10nl again and 3k hands. But anyway I hope it stays this way.

Ugh, it's Sunday night, the best night for pokering, and I'm being a bum yet again. I blame it on the fact that my monthly goal for hands played is easily in reach so I don't feel pressured to put in hands.

Change your goal to a higher number of hands! Problem solved.

I think 50k is more than enough for a month. It's not the total number of hands I'm worried about, just that I've been slacking on the best days of the week to play.

Have Thursdays/Fridays as break days from poker so you will be refreshed and excited to get back to the tables on the juicy Saturdays and Sundays?

could be a very good thing since the NSD winnings style didn't work out all that great for you. it might be a sign that you're giving up more in the right spots and not barreling in so many bad situations. the SD style worked for me at 200NL, i can only imagine it can work well, if not even better, at lower stakes
 
Yeah I think the money is definitely to be had at showdown 🙂

I do feel I'm making some good laydowns and such when I need to. But I just feel like this is so much easier, naturally, than 25nl because here I almost always have an idea of what they have if not near certain. But when I do get back to 25nl I think I'm gonna have to same problem as before.

I guess I'll figure it out once I get there.
 
All my winnings were from showdown at 10NL and 25NL too, then I hit 50NL and it completely switched. I know it's a small sample but it doesnt seem like it's going to change. 50NL is really nitty :\

omg I swear I'm gonna start open shoving AK in EP 30 BBs deep. Sick of either getting a caller who doesn't fold to a cbet (where a double barrel would commit me) or else 3-4 callers and a wet board that completely misses me.
