GL guys.

Makes sense. But but but. he's my dad! lol

My dad didn't have the KQ but we discussed how the guy played KQ. And that is what I was trying to tell him, just being extremely thorough and pointing out how far behind he is, he has a good grasp of most of the concepts of poker, he just has trouble applying them in te right spots. Well the first time I wanted help with writing it, the 2nd time I posted the entire thing at the recommendation of another Challenge thread poster, and the 3rd time because people ignored it or didn't state as to why they weren't responding to it.PS. I know, I told him it was horrible at the bottomPS2 Indeed, but

Reposting this, think it is worthy of some discussion.So I was discussing this hand with my dad that he played and he thought that if we were the player with QK reraising was the best move and I wanted to explain to him that although it's not terrible, it's not the best line IMO. Then I went on to explain as to why his play with 99 (we're CO) is incorrect as he said he would play it the same way and just bet more on the river instead, this is what I wrote (starts off with 'if we had KQ'). Thought you guys might find it interesting/have fun laughing at it. Thanks to CitizenErased for helping me

Or betting to stop a bet on a later street/ a larger bet size from an opponent too?

Son of a ****, nice work. This at NL100? \life.

Can someone give me a hand here? I am sitting at home after a business trip looking through hand histories (don;t want to play poker when I am knackered), analysing them, poker stoving them and the like and I came through one involving my dad, and I was explaining to him why the preflop raiser with KQ should be betting straight out here a large amount against 5 players, my dad believes he should check reraise the flop and give people less odds to draw. At 25NL I don't think this is the right line usually, but I am having problems wording why it isn't. So can anyone explain to be just why we sh

God damn fatties taking my plane seats. Very little of the time is their good reason to be a chronic pie muncher.

This isn't terrible right? I've got a little history with this villan, IE 2 hands ago I 3 bet his blind steal, he 4 bet me, I believe somewhat thinking I was restealing, I called with TT I then bet the flop and he folded. He is running 21/15/2.5Think he can be CRAI with a really wide range here and my 4 bet makes it very hard for him to continue.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comButton ($10.10)SB ($11.60)BB ($13.70)UTG ($9.75)Hero (MP) ($24.15)CO ($21.55)Preflop: Hero is MP with , :jhUTG calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.50, 3 fol

Ha, I wish. Most of the time it was the flop, I'd just get it all in there and then but they would have made a better hand. I had no reason to exercise keeping the pot small as it made sense for me to have the best hand. But you are somewhat right, there were times when I inflated the pot on the turn and river when I was beaten and in a couple of cases where overpairs were clearly not in the lead.

I genuinely LOLed.Nice work Daniel, now you've taken out that field, time to take down the WSOP ME?

Virtually all my big losses (IE over 60bb ) are with premium pairs. Guess this would suggest I need to know when to lay them down?Also it would really help if I could get my non SD into the positive, seeing as I am being such a nit, that really should be in the positive no?ETA: Given that I am being so nitty and non SD winnings are in the minus, it would suggest I am playing weak tight. Not good as I wouldn't percieve myself that way, guess I need to be floating/playing back more.

Added to my above post.I think my Cbet is ok? I tend to Cbet flops that to my villan would make sense that I hit. I see all this talk of 'The Cbet is over used' too. Constant C betting is just going to make me predictable and therefore exploitable thorough floating and reraising which leaves me struggling to continue the hand.

I am beginning to think my problem is just making bad calls on the river in big pots as I don't think my stats are out of line? I was considering this, but then I was told that Supernova is equal to rakback on FTP and you can just buy cash bo

Thanks for the input RDog, and yeah it is my fault. In reality I look at my graph and well yeah let me show you...I tilted badly at the massive drop off, then I feel like things got shitty luck wise (but at the same time probably full of erroneous play). I tilt easily, the whole downslope was triggered when I got my money in good a couple of times, lost the hands, and was annoyed at losing my 6k hands work that day that I tilted like a maniac out of pure frustration. I just don't understand how It could of gone so decently in October and then suddenly just turn to crap in November. Something m

Thanks Matt, that means a lot, especially coming from you.Time to get some hand reviews and just step away from playing for a while, just review my play this month. Have to convince myself to play seriously when I do start playing again at a lower limit.

I think that looks pretty sustainable!Yeah, I went over my sessions, I made the ocassional stupid move or call, but the pot sizes were generally small (pot control ftw) apart from when I'd gone a little tilty. Where my big money went was getting it in on flops with an overpair only to see my opponent had out flopped me. I only 24 tabled once to see if I could, and profit. I could, but I didn't enjoy the game as much and recently I've just been 4-6 tabling. As my bankroll disappeared I didn't move down just because I couldn't take it seriously and I knew, I KNEW I was playing solid poker, hell

Aaaaaannnnddddddnd busto. Poker is infact directly related to luck. Because when it decides that whenever you get it in with the over pair on the flop or before, they'll make trips, it doesn't actually matter how skilled you are, apart from perhaps skilled in the way of changing time, because those chips are going to the other side of the table. You could make up for it in those big hands you make, but you won't because your opponets will have nothing. No matter how loose or tight you play, they will have no cards, so it makes no difference. But ocasionally when you do make it to show down wit

In my 1000 hand experiment I have established that good LAG > TAG at micros. Turns out I am better at LAG (so far), or atleast I am very comfortable with it. Not to mention it makes poker more fun!

Holy crap.

Yeah I kind of felt it was.Thought I'd be getting an extra bet out of him. Didn't workout obviously.

Any tips for increasing non-showdown winnings? I'm trying to make this positive as it's a large loss for me and could really add to my winnings.Is it simply a case of playing back at the right people in position?
