General question about FR hand playing:

A number of players limp, and I find myself on the button or late position with Ax(2-9, let me know where we start seperating any decisions).

I find that if I limp in as well I'm not winning enough or making up for the price of limping since these players will not fold to much on the flop and even if I do catch an Ace I'm honestly not sure if its good.

If I raise I have no fold equity and I'm building up a huge pot and a lot of the times don't connect with the flop/don't get enough folds w/ a c-bet.

Can anyone relate to this frustrating predicament? Any solution? Am I an idiot? Don't answer that.... I play 5NL by the way.

How many limpers?

If this was 10NL+ I would say Isolate them on the button because I think most players would fold to an isolation raise/Continuation bet since most players are very weak post flop at 10NL.

However since its at 5NL just muck it preflop, you want to be playing solid TAG poker at 5NL. Basic stuff, Bet when you have a hand, check when you have draws, fold when you miss. I think players will just call you to the river with draws etc so you have to make them pay when you have a hand + dont try bluffing. I dont think many players will fold to an ISO raise then Cbet but hey I could be wrong
 
Im kinda tired/bored and not really in the mood to play cause i play bad when im tired/bored.
So i was gonna go over some HH stuff and read some thread and w/e and i was wondering if any one whanted me to review a seesion for them?
6max or fr, 2-10NL(dont really whant to do 25nl since im not a proven winner there yet,so i might just give a bunch of crappy advice 😀)

any way let me know...
 
Check me out, got the roll over $200 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Very happy lol

This thread is dieing a bit.
I wish I had more time, but I really haven't been able to get my article together.

Is there any other stuff we can do here, or are we gonna wait till we get all the articles ?

Especially if he puts it all on a 200NL table. That's the smart move, imo.

Shortstackin' 1knl is the way to go.

Poker gods won't respect him if he doesn't do this.
 
Well, the problem is Enty (and I include myself here) is that most people neglect the study side of poker and play too much. There needs to be a balance if you want to progress at a steady rate. Look at Chuck/FP and I'm sure most of the other 200nl+ players. They set aside a decent proportion of there poker time to actually studying.

So yeah maybe you guys need a kick up the backside. Maybe the articles suggestion wasn't that inspiring (although I have to say that the couple that were posted were very good imo) and something else needs suggesting.
 
What about one of us (namely me 😛) sets a topic for discussion. We can see what ppl's level of knowledge is and if it's relevant. Then some of the experienced members will hopefully come in and point us in the right direction. Just a thought!

Any other suggestions?
 
I actually study too much and don't play enough, but I am working on fixing that. I do like the idea of just starting a thread and letting everyone discuss it.

Sounds like a solid idea to me. Should generate some quality discussion, with some of the more experienced guys helping out when we're struggling.

This sounds great - maybe a specific HA (obviously with the permission of the OP) that illustrates a specific point that you and others thinks is important? Bob, c9, and others also put up a couple of specific HA's along these lines, which was very useful.

c9's required reading thread suggests some interesting potential topics - several of the theorems were completely new to me, and application of those theorems to actual hands might be neat.

Thanks Jagsti for making the suggestion, I'd really love to see this thread flourish...

Why don't we try setting up a weekly game? It can alternate between FR and 6-max every week. Everyone can send their HH's to one person who combines them in to one HH file so everyone can watch the replay with all hole cards revealed so we can all comment on each other's play.

This sounds like a great idea to me!!!
 
Its the thing about having big giant threads like this one, is that maybe it should be started over again monthly just like the monthly chat thread. Its 28 pages long at the moment and to be honest its a little intimidating for a n00b on the forums to trawl though all that.

I think Jag's idea also has great merit, getting some discussion threads started on specific examples posted here would be great.
 
Yeah I kinda agree with TB here maybe we should start a new thread every month just like the chat thread.

Also people should post how they are progressing on the month here etc
 
count me in. right now that's mostly what i play. it's a little safer for me. and i'm not embarressed about it. since i'm tottally right until a develope more skills this is were i'll stay.
there's plenty of challenge at this level as you well know and you don't have to use to much of your BR.
good idea. peace🙂

Agreed. Starting in April, we should have a new micro stakes thread every month.

No idea how this works, but if someone else can put it together I would absolutely love to take part in it, or even just watch it. Almost like an aggregate sweat for everyone.

I wanna say Dorkus or Irexes did this before for a CC buy-in event...maybe they can offer some guidance.

Another good idea. Progress & problems during the month. If we find something we are struggling with we can create a new thread/article to try and tackle that subject and it won't be burried inside a 200 page long thread.

It's actually pretty simple. I know there's already a program floating around somewhere that will put all the hole cards in to one text file. If no one can find it, I'm sure one of the programming nerds (no, I'm not judging, I did a lot of HTML, PHP, and Java scripting myself in high school) around here could easily write a program to do it.

Then you can just run it through a replayer and voila. And you already nailed the key point here, even if someone is unable to participate, they still have access to the hand history so there is still a lot they can take out of it.
 
We could also maybe have a monthly cash game or SNG for us micro guys to play in maybe a $2/5 buy in game between us to keep us together?

Dont know if CC could set one up for us?
 
how about this weekend we get a full table of 2NL-25NL(doesnt really matter) CC players and make that video ds was talking about?
