Mistakes:1. reraise pf at least 3X his initial raise You need to protect your hand oop.2. You can check the flop, but it's risky with so few chips to play with, I'd bet right out 3/4 the pot. Also, you're first to act. This is not a big mistake, but with 2 face cards out there, I'd be worried about exactly what hit you.3. Turn bet pot (your bet was fine)4. No way in hell I am putting any money in the pot on the river... What's he going to call your all in with besides a queen?my 2 cents

A 10 dies to preflop re raises.You're dominated by virtually every hand that he could re raise with...

Play hours, not results. Running bad happens to everyone: it's just your turn. As long as you're playing well, you'll eventually work out of your slump.What advice you'll hear is the following:1. Take a break2. Play different games3. Massage the rabbit's foot4. Play lower stakesThese are only necessary if your results are hurting your play. It doesn't sound like that's the case quite yet.I need a few cooler heads to give me some advice on how to deal with a monumental bad run. I keep getting premium hands, play them aggressively pre flop and get sucked out on by garbage.I'm talking about 2/4 NL games, raising from early position with KK and getting sucked out on with KT off suit, repeatedly. Getting hit in set over set situations, repeatedly. It's been ugly.I would say that I'm an intermediate player that has good money management, but it's getting ridiculous. What are some strategies to play out the bad run? Should I move to another game (I like them all, but have found that the NLHE games in my area are the easiest to find and beat consistently), play some sit n go's, or just take a break? Any and all suggestions would be welcome as I am at my wits end. I have analyzed my hand history and feel that I'm still playing solid, so I don't think that's the issue other than rotten luck. Basically, I am looking for distractions.P.S.I am new to this forum, so I may be in the wrong section or just complaining. If that's the case, any moderator should, and presumably would, feel free to move this thread or delete it if necessary.Thanks. -
Ok, so is he the guy who got second in the "Biggest ****** in the Universe Contest"? Seriously, I have no clue who the guy is.For the record, Bryan Micon is not Eric Molina. -
Cool, thanks Simo. Out of curiosity, what sort of mathematics would I need to learn to understand the book?The book is fantastic, but you need to be a math geek to get the most out of it. I have a degree in maths and stats, and I found some of it difficult to get through (analysing pages and pages of equations and tables can get tiresome for anyone).It isn't a strategy book by any means. It is a book that allows you to understand the game at a deeper level.I don't remember this. It's pretty moronic and not like the rest of the book at all if true. -
When in Atlantis I cracked it open on the beach. I quickly realized that it was not beach reading, then I got mad when he said you only need 5 sng buy ins in your br if that's what you play. Mainly because thats the most moronic thing i've ever read.Did anyone actually read the book? If so, is it worth working through?

I thought of Elliot Reid... oh waitFor some reason I thought of Dave Chapelle when I saw this.. -
You know, if Daniel keeps running this way, its going to make all of his haters really upSET!

Thirded. I'd like to see Moneymaker do well.I'm also rooting for moneymaker, I think the guy gets a bad rap. he isn't the best player in the workd but he isn't terrible either and people make him out to be horrible. I think he silences the critics this year. -
Thats only legal in Massachusetts, sir.I'd like to bute you. -
LOL!!! agreed.Yes. The only way it would've been better is if it read:JESUS Knocks Out Woman!!! -

# Wed Jul 11 2007 20:48 GMTDaniel Negreanu Eliminates Susie Isaacs and Wins a Huge PotA player in middle position raised to 3,100 and Susie Isaacs and Daniel Negreanu both called. The flop came {2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} and the original raiser bet 7,000. Isaacs moved in for 19,700 and Negreanu called. The raiser then moved all-in and had Negreanu covered."I think I've got you guys crushed...but I'm not sure," Negreanu said before making the call. He turned over pocket Deuces for bottom set while Isaacs held {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} and the other player {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. The {6-Spades} on the turn meant that the other players were drawing dead, and Negreanu now has 145,000.

Honestly, I've been following his updates in his earlier wsop tournys. I was expecting to see those hands criticized. But yeah, I really can't say I am too impressed with the kid's game. Whether it be lack of experience, lack of game, or whatever else, I don't see him making any sort of dent in the ME. Also, Flyingdonkey, we should have some respect for what? The protege's game? Based on the hands that i've read, his game commands far more criticism than it does respect.

The general rule when you're playing against bad players is the following: play big pots only when you have really big hands. Here, you have a solid hand that you should see a flop with (not a hand you can stack him with unless you get an AQx flop or a kj10 flop). I would call his little re raise and wait to see what he does on a flop where the pot is not as big. His hand really does feel like a very poorly played AK, but I guess JJ is also possible. I think the odds of him having KK or QQ after the flop are far lower... It'd be a REALLY ballsy play. I wouldn't reraise preflop. I'd just feel him out after you flop tp/2ndkicker.

well, i would NEVER make this play... but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Thing is, I've never played limits high enough that players were good enough that I would HAVE to do something like this. Find the weak players and take their money either by bulling over their weak hands, or having them pay off your big hands. Frankly, I don't think you have to do this at 1-2 to be a very winning player. It's very possible that sb has a flush. After his flop bet i put him on a flush draw, personally. I do agree with the first responder that you need to make your reraise bigger so as to give the image that you LOVED that card. Depending on how tight he is, he might actually drop a smaller flush if you re raise him enough here. He calls with a hand like 35ss if the raise is only 80 more though. Might drop it if you move in.

I like the way you think, sir.I would just peel a cheap card. He is a fish who is interested in the pot which means we have no fold equity if we push our draw. However, if we hit one of our outs he is almost always paying us off for at least a pot bet on the river and if we miss we can get away clean. I'm a bit worried about the board being paired because he really is playing his hand quite strongly and a boat is in his range. -
i hate the bet mainly because you call him a fish. Was this really the best way you could think of to stack someone who's game you deem to be so bad? The thing that makes your "fish" a fish is that he'll give you his chips at minimal risk to your own stack. Now, he's put you to a very difficult decision. I don't see you folding this hand, and i forgot how much money you have in front of you. Depending on that you either need to go with it and completely pay him off, or you can just call and pray to hit the riv.EDIT:yeah, he could easily have 5-8 or a boat based on what you've written before. the odds that he is pulling your chain though, and the quality of your draw are too high to just give it up. I call here and pray to completely my hand, and then act accordingly on the river.

I wouldn't move on with this hand. I would think that AT BEST you're up against a straight/ heart draw. I would put one on 55 and the other on a hand like jqhh depending on your read of the two players... I mean, I mess around with all sorts of hands, but I am playing nowhere near 5-10 yet.We can't put the LAG on a set; I think he'd raise UTG with a pair, trying to thin the herd and play heads up with a legit -MIDDLE PAIR - hand. He limps with his drawing hand, trying to trap the field with a gin flop, or, heads up with a raiser that he can close PF action on. Further, I think LAG would smooth call a set, trying to trap a raiser with overs. Lag can't really put you on hearts, raising $60. You've got overs, and he knows it. So I think LAG is drawing. A TAG button probably would dump almost any hand that directly connects with this flop after you raised. A TAG button might smooth call with QQ, hoping to push you out with a non-ace flop and going head to head with the LAG. That's my thinking, but it's (like) Monday.EDIT, oh, and I also thought about the implications of the heart in our hand. I think the interest in this flop tells us that a lot of hearts may lie in hands and we're relatively safe from LAG's heart-connected draw. -
I would like to vote for flushgarden having the best avatar in town.Huge field full of uberdonks and a fast structure...it will be an exercise in strict HOH by the book play.
