monoatomic 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well I've finally broken out of whatever the hell I had going on the last month, at least results wise. Bob, I'm grateful for that little piece of info about my river play. I've curbed that drastically tonight and I've seen a multiple of things that have stopped. One, I'm getting more folds on the turn then usual as I'm not showing bluffs down so much by donking rivers over and over again, and I'm obviously saving a few bets by not bluffing boards that don't appear to be scary.A few things:Checky and anyone else who plays in games where the SB and BB are closer in value than other games. For instance, at 3/6 the blinds are 2SB and 3BB, how does this affect your play in short hand games regarding playing tighter in the SB and looser in the BB to steals?When going over sessions in either PT or HEM, what specifically do you look for in your own play to improve? I started looking over my hands last night and although I see some horribly played hands that are obvious, what other aspects am I looking for to help improve in minor ways?I'm going to the WSOP this year for the first time as part of a well earned vacation. I have about $4000 to use as buy in money, What would be the best bets tournament wise? I'd was looking and I'd really like to play in the 6max limit tourney or the 3k H.O.R.S.E., and something else. Having never been, what are some of the satellites like? Are there any for "WSOP Buyins" where if you win you get money towards any tournament you want or are they all for specific seats in specific tourneys? Link to post Share on other sites

Flushgarden 0 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Stone cold bubble.240 entries, 27 paid, I went out 28th.This was the $335. The $545 is on Monday.I think I really played very well though, especially towards the bubble, and in retrospect there wasn't much I would have done differently. I just experienced some negative variance at the wrong time. I could have folded to cash but I told myself I wouldn't do that, and I didn't. They play was much tougher than any live lhe cash game I've ever been a part of, but that actually made it kind of fun. Sorry guys. Also, I finally got real internet again today so I can play online again. Link to post Share on other sites

DinkDonk 1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 First losing session in a while. Stuck like 70 BB in 500 hands. Nothing is going right and it's late, so I give up. Link to post Share on other sites
CobaltBlue 662 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Now up to seven consecutive losers. This is rather unprecedented. Granted, only two of them were approaching relatively "heavy" amounts. This latest was pretty frustrating. Went from +60BB to -70BB. Think I'm going to have to take a break from LHE for a while and go see if I can make some more of that Unlimited money. Link to post Share on other sites

DinkDonk 1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Meh. I didn't mean to sound like I was complaining. I've experienced the sunny side of variance all month, so I clearly know it goes both ways. Unless of course I'm just a 5.5 BB/100 winner now. I suppose that's a possibility.

Flushgarden 0 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I final tabled another live tourney this morning...260 entries. We chopped and I was 2nd in chips but I negotiated for the most money. So thats back to back final tables in the daily tourney at Pechanga. I feel like I'm playing really really good right now. Good things can definitely happen on Monday at Commerce.Barry Greenstein was in the first $545 lhe event...bring him on, imo. Actually I'm not that retarded. lol I'd like to see him but not at any of my tables. Link to post Share on other sites

If only 1 or 2 hands would have gone a little differently I would have had a good chance. I felt so sick after but I wouldnt change anything. Link to post Share on other sites

Of course, I'd have probably pissed it all away trying beat shorthanded LHE, but that's neither here nor there. $32 would have made pretty much no difference. I don't remember who posted it, but there I agree with whoever said that bubbling is a sign of a good player. You can't ever be afraid of bubbling or you'll play bad.
