Jordan 1 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Weeeeeeeee, back in the black for the month.I'm seriously running so disgustingly bad at 200nl. I really feel like I changed something I was doing wrong..but running so badly hasn't helped.Hopefully the next 12k hands I win like 235325 buy-ins. Todays cooler for mebtn raises to 6, i make it 18 with KQ, he calls. Flop QQK we eventually get all in, he has KK weee- Jordan Link to post Share on other sites
wsox8 10 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I'm not trying to wreck the happy mood in the thread but I'm just trying to understand people. I don't really know how to play because it's not really working playing how I am. I'll post a few hands that were pretty much all at the same time and it's been happening for about a week now. Has to be variance doesn't it?This one is about calling stations.. Maybe I overplayed my hand but seems like I have to have a pair anytime I bet or I can't win.Absolute PokerLimit Holdem Ring gameLimit: $2/$43 playersConverterStack sizes:Button: $69.25GarbageBag: $206BB: $47.75Pre-flop: (3 players) GarbageBag is SB with K Q Button calls, GarbageBag raises, BB calls, Button calls.Flop: 9 4 7 (6SB, 3 players)GarbageBag bets, BB calls, Button calls.Turn: A (4.5BB, 3 players)GarbageBag bets, BB calls, Button calls.River: 2 (7.5BB, 3 players)GarbageBag checks, BB checks, Button checks.Results:Final pot: 7.5BBGarbageBag Shows Ks QhBB Shows 4d Kdother guy had 10-4Flop trips again and I bet it like crazy but it doesn't really matter because the river will stop meAbsolute PokerLimit Holdem Ring gameLimit: $2/$46 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $288.90UTG+1: $45CO: $212.44Button: $22.24GarbageBag: $209.50BB: $74.50Pre-flop: (6 players) GarbageBag is SB with 9 K UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, Button calls, GarbageBag calls, BB checks.Flop: 9 9 4 (5SB, 5 players)GarbageBag bets, BB folds, UTG raises, 2 folds, GarbageBag 3-bets, UTG caps, GarbageBag calls.Turn: Q (6.5BB, 2 players)GarbageBag bets, UTG calls.River: 8 (8.5BB, 2 players)GarbageBag bets, UTG raises, GarbageBag calls.Results:Final pot: 12.5BBUTG Shows 5d 10dI could probably folded on the turn here but I'm at the point in variance where it seems like every gutshot hits.

And I guess I need LHE lessons because I'm struggling to break even. Obv could be variance and bad luck.edit: the players seem extremely fishy but maybe I should try NL again?

I get bored so I like to switch it up. There also seem to be a lot of fish (unless I'm the fish)Only big problem I have with dealing w/ limit is someone calling my raise in the sb w/ 6-4 os and cracking my aces. But I guess that's part of the game that I have to learn. Link to post Share on other sites
