New Challenge: Movin' On Up

[fighter 4]

It was also a painful reminder of one of the things I found most annoying about playing regular cash: the time and effort that goes into table selection, looking for tables that aren't dominated by 1/3-1/2 stackers, waiting for a seat...

try starting tables.

NO LIMIT EIGHT OR BETTER.note: this is a ploy for James to get our mailing addresses.

Do some kind of HORSE tourny or something. I would sign up on fulltilt if needed to be part of that!Kosin Trouble

Yeah... make sure you sign up for rakeback before you put any money on fulltilt!!!!Well, I think NLO8 would be epic... so I'll figure something out soon. Also, I know KT doesn't have FTP and Trystero, you don't have stars? is that correct?

You wait for seats at 10nl?

If the tables I want to play at are full, yes I put my name down on the waiting list. Doesn't usually take too long but still. I don't start tables because then I have to play shorthanded until it fills (I play full ring) and I have no control over who sits down. I just got spoiled by the instant action of Rush. You log in, start playing immediately, don't have to worry about tables breaking up or getting surrounded by shorties, and can play several hundred hands 2-tabling for 45 minutes.I'm going to try 3 tables tonight and see if it gives me enough action.

Yup...Rush = crack. My MO lately has been to start normal 6-max tables. If I win money and the table fills up, I stay if it's good. If I lose money and the table fills up (and isn't exceptionally good), I leave. I also throw in a table or two of 6-max Rush to keep the juices flowing.

I'm not crazy about just calling the flop since he could be donking with a big club (or any club) in his hand. Raise flop?

[trystero 0]

He's donking because he's the pf aggressor...flop is fine imo, perhaps shove the turn

[KingJames 11]

Dude was crazy Russian monkey tilting. I like letting him aggro off his pair of eights.If an ace of club rolls off we have a choice to make but through the small sample he was like 24/16 and 3betting like 50% or whatever.Sadly he settled down after this second stack which really sucked bc I picked up AA and KK shortly after and he didn't 3bet me anymore

The obnoxiously high rake??

Which means he could be holding any single club. What happens if you call this flop and another club falls on the turn?

[babylondonks 5]

we happily fold? it's a 3bet pot and his range here is quite strong, we don't want to fold out his bluffs and we're only flipping against the naked Ac anyway

Actually, we happily foldThis is one of those spots where I used to **** up, too. When we raise here on the flop, we fold out all his air and we really only get called by hands which have us beat/flipping
