jmbreslin 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Playing 2 tables, had doubled on one and then gave it all back and then some, and had already lost my stack on this table. Villain to my left was an obnoxious player who sat down a little while after I did and was playing very laggy and pushing lots of hands preflop. I called her once and got quartered, and this time I said to hell with it. She had been pushing suited A2 combo hands almost exclusively so I figured this was a good spot, especially with the caller already in.Full Tilt No-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, $0.02 BB (4 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comSB ($1.58)Hero (BB) ($2.62)UTG ($7.42)Button ($4.97)Preflop: Hero is BB with J, 10, Q, 9Hero calls $0.02, UTG bets $7.42 (All-In), 1 fold, SB calls $1.56 (All-In), Hero calls $2.60 (All-In)Flop: ($6.82) J, A, Q(3 players, 3 all-in)Turn: ($6.82) K(3 players, 3 all-in)River: ($6.82) 9(3 players, 3 all-in)Total pot: $6.82 | Rake: $0.45Results:SB had 6, 5, Q, A (Hi: flush, Ace high).Hero had J, 10, Q, 9 (Hi: straight flush, King high).UTG had A, 5, 10, 2 (Hi: straight, Ace high).Outcome: Hero won $6.37 Link to post Share on other sites
SwolyswoND 1 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Heh, you really shouldn't quit the session after this hand now, you're going to have an insane image and will get looked up all day long, and you can valuetown them to death now. Link to post Share on other sites
jmbreslin 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 A lot of that metagame stuff is lost on opponents at this level. And besides, the laggy villain was completely controlling the table with her raising and pushing. There are quite a few players like this at micro stakes - they clearly want to avoid postflop poker, so they just push any decent hand that comes their way. She had almost quadrupled her stack doing this before I took her down a notch on this hand. After this hand she started pushing even more frequently and by the time I left she had given back all her profits from the session. Link to post Share on other sites
drewlovesomaha 0 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Even more reason to stick around. The opponents you face at these micro-levels may not consider meta-game factors but they certainly steam.According to your info your bankroll is around 240 dollars, why not take a shot with the 6 dollars you have at this table and possibly run it up to 25 or more before quitting. I have never played the micro limits but I can tell you one of the things that separates great players from good, average and bad players is that they know when to take advantage of good cards, good luck and steaming opponents. It is probably human nature to want to lock up a win or even to quit when you have been losing and get even but if you think of it as one long session you will see you are costing yourself money to walk away from a table where an overaggressive player is spewing off their profit.
