    Protege 1 Final Table Participants

    in General Poker Forum

    Posted

    hey all, about this time last year i was drunk and full of pancakes, stumbling back to my hotel room in downtown toronto, after a night out on the town with DN himself, getting ready for the protege final table the next morning. well, we all know how that turned out :blush:anyway, how has your poker "career" changed between then and now? (we know your answer fid :D ) what sort of impression has the protege weekend left you with now that a year has passed? got anything else exciting going for you?last year, i was playing $10-$20 STTs and MTTs and a little LHE. Between now in then, I've gotten a lot better at poker (imo of course) but my bankroll hasn't gotten any bigger (mainly because i like buying stuff) :D so i've most recently played SHLHE from 2/4 to 5/10 and just started to learn NL cash, which i hope to move to completely eventually (can't stand the SHLHE variance)overall, meeting daniel and the rest of you was an eye opener for this (then) 19 year old. now i've got this part of me that won't go away that wants to tp/mm, since i was soooooo close to the opportunity of a lifetime. (i also found out how nice it is to get bottle service in vip :club: )so, guys (and gal), how have you been?

    I ran so ridiculously cold in my STTs today. Almost bustoed my FT account playing a mixture of $50 and $100s. In one, KK < AQ aipf...Flop KAA...Turn A for 1/3 of the chips w/ 5 left. Also bustoed w/ KJ vs 66 on a board of J875 (I check-raised him all-in on the turn)...in the first orbit. River 9 obviously. Amazing how bad the play can be at these "high" level STTs.
    sit n goes are super rigged, here's my last 100 (6.50s with some 16s in there, fwiw i had 25% roi at 16s and 22s before i left sngs for a while, so i like to think i know what i'm doing)doom.pngit's sick, disgusting, and depressing to know you're never going to win a flip and that having the dominating hand means absolutely nothing.my last final is monday morning, so after that i am chompin at the bit to put some hours in.

    march goals:i'm running so bad, i don't even know where to start. i think i want to play 20k hands (at 2/4 to start, but i will allow myself to move up to 3/6 when i am 300BBs up at 2/4) because i don't think i can play my a game at anything higher than that right now. i also want to play some donkaments since i didn't do that at all in february.
    marchgraphs.pngtop graph is shlhe, bottom graph is frnlhelol, i only played 1300 (at 13.61 BB/100 lol) hands this month, school kicked my ***. i did play a couple live sessions and finished up about $250, which was nice. i also played about 700 hands of breakeven lo8, i didn't play a single donkament or STT.so with all that said, my april goals:i have finals this month, so i'm going to take it easy. i've got $100 in bonus money i need to clear by the 10th, so that's really the only goal i have, is to play enough hands to clear that, but after the 12th or so, any poker i play will be a bonus. my only other goal is to not busto myself between now and May 1st, when I will be able to really grind.

    Make Flush On River, Call To Induce Overcall?

    For one, you make the same amount if BTN folds and SB calls, secondly, you can make more if they both call.Also, lead the flop.
    BTN wasn't going to call 12 bucks out of curiosity, and like you said, if he folds and SB calls, and i'm good, i get the same number of bets in. if BTN/SB has a higher flush i lose 2 big bets by raising, and .5 by calling (assuming if the SB has me beat, the BTN will not raise closing the action)i agree that i should have lead the flop

    casino windsor lhe 3/68 handedreads: SB has seen every flop, check called flop, in a previous hand, he led into me from SB on turn and river with A3o on a 269[A][T] board after i raised UTG+1 with AJs (i just called the turn and river on that hand :D)BTN also played nearly every hand, bet, raised a lot of flops with weak holdings (bet out on AQ5 board from SB with 77) has called multiple single bets on the river with nothing "because the pot was so big"kkcountry is UTG+1 with T :club: 7 :diamond:UTG calls, hero calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, CO folds, BTN calls, SB completes, BB checksflop: (6 handed, pot $15)A :D T :D Q :diamond:SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, hero checks, MP2 bets, BTN raises, SB 3-bets, BB folds, hero calls, MP2 calls, BTN callsturn (4 handed, pot $46)J :club:SB bets, hero calls, MP2 folds, BTN callsriver (3 handed, pot $64)3 :diamond:SB bets, hero calls...i was pretty sure I had the best hand by the river, but does anybody have a problem with my calling on the river? i didn't want to get 3 bet by a better flush, and if the button had nothing, he had shown that he was capable of making a call on the river with just about anything.
