QED 4 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Does anyone have any generic advise on playing over pairs? I'm getting soul crushed with them lately, is there any time you ever lay them down at 2NL? Link to post Share on other sites

I'm getting soul crushed with them lately, is there any time you ever lay them down at 2NL?HELL NO! Not at that level. You have KK, flop comes 4,10,6 80% if you go all in, at least one person will call with x-10 or x-6... sadly yes some will hit trips or two pair but over the long hall at that level your bank roll will increase...now that being said, I am not advocating all in on every flop when you have a over pair ... case and point(in my case its not a set but I wanted a reason to post this hand)....Reason for check on flop is villian bets 100% on flop when checked too over 55hands....

KingJames 11 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 Gah... I wouldn't donk bet into the preflop raiser. And if you do, make it like .3, but I wouldn'tI'd check/call here.Also, by bet/folding, we are turning our hand into a bluff. DUCY?We are taking a pretty strong hand (tp, backdoor nfd, gutter to the nuts) and folding to a riase when we could easily check/call and if nothing else hold on bc we have showdown value.

Syntonic 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I don't think that is a good fold. Were you betting with intention of folding to a raise? I c/c here at least.Anyone raise this preflop? It's been awhile since I've played FR. Link to post Share on other sites
fighter 4 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Does anyone have any generic advise on playing over pairs? I'm getting soul crushed with them lately, is there any time you ever lay them down at 2NL?If the flop comes 235 and you have 77, I wouldn't be shoveling money into the pot. If the flop comes TJQ and you have KK, I wouldn't be excited if all the money went in. I might even fold to a flop raise verse the right people. If you have an over pair and get c/r on the turn, I would look to fold most of the time. Dear fighter,DIE!<3, JamesAlso, soooooo many fish itt (in that thread, not this thread)That was fun.

QED 4 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Had a fun day today, pretty much insta got myself in a 3BI hole with a couple of big mistakes. Got it break even after 300 hands and 1.5 BI profit after 562 hands.For next month I'm going to try and keep a better track of hands played and profit/loss as well as do the take2 bonus and try and get the free $25 on fulltilt. Hopefully I can stop being a 2NL donk and become a 5NL slightly less donk. Link to post Share on other sites

babylondonks 5 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 My March: all 100nlREALLY REALLY FUN MONTH! I'm still kinda in shock that I could run so bad/so under EV in a single month, to the extent of 40 buyins, but I guess it's a very good indicator of just how ****ing sick and variance-ridden this game is.Anyway onto the totals:Cash: -$3271.76PLO: +$97.52Rakeback/bonus: $948.77Staking others in donkaments: $549.84Tourneys: $1689.82Total: +$14.19WINNING MONTH BITCHES!!!No idea how I pulled a winning month out of my arse from that.

fighter 4 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 My March: all 100nlThe end bit of your graph scares me. Your ev goes up but your Green line goes down. It is like a mirror. That must be a really close assortment of monster bad beats. Link to post Share on other sites
Syntonic 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I didn't play much this month due to school and whatnot.The huge downswing is a bunch of consecutive cooler hands. Flop sets, lose, cry, repeat.I think most of this is 100NL Link to post Share on other sites
KingJames 11 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well, March was more difficult than February.I put in my most volume which is good, but I didn't do so well.I continue to learn a lot each month which is good.

kepper 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I played the first 10 days of March on a computer that doesn't work anymore so here's my graph of March after March 10th.+$300ish on the broken computer (I should get that thing to boot or remove the hard drive so i can salvage my db...but I'm lazy.)March was looking awesome until the downswing crushed my soul and confidence . Looking forward to a fresh start in April. Link to post Share on other sites
Syntonic 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 @James. I don't really like it. I would prefer if you bet the flop (expect one person to call) and the turn is a good card to fire away again. As played I think the guy has a 9 and he's probably not going to fold because of the A on board. I'm assuming he's not a nit. If he is, then I'm more OK with the river bluff.

jmbreslin 0 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well here's my March at 10NL Rush. Plus $60 in bonus and some rakeback.Ran like Forrest Gump mid-month but that was quickly erased and have been struggling to get back on an upward trend. My plan, as I've documented in my blog, is to finish out this block of 10k hands at Rush, see how I've done at plugging my leaks, and then move back to regular 10NL full ring to see how I do with the HUD at my disposal. I'm actually interested to see how I do there after playing 20k hands virtually readless in Rush. Also plan to get back to the $1.10, 45-turbos that I abandoned during this recent bonus period.
