wrto4556 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 The fish call way too much. I get sucked out on by guys raising button pair and 5-high to the river just to suck out and hit their 2-outters. At first I was skeptical, but today everything has changed.Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is MP1 with Q Q UTG calls, 1 fold, UTG calls.Flop: (7 SB) 3 , 3 , 4 (3 players)SB checks, UTG bets, SB folds, UTG calls.Turn: (5.50 BB) 8 (2 players)UTG checks, Hero bets, UTG calls.River: (7.50 BB) [A ] (2 players)UTG checks, Hero checks.Final Pot: 7.50 BB<----He shows A6o to bust my queens.What was that guy thinking!?!?Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converterPreflop: Hero is CO with A , K . 2 folds, BB calls, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls.Flop: (16.50 SB) K , Q , 6 (4 players)BB checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero bets, BB calls, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls.Turn: (11.25 BB) A (3 players)BB checks, Hero checks, Button bets, BB calls, Hero calls.Why I didn't bet the turn is beyond me.

NormanHaupt 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Seriously, I'm having a huge down swing again too. Some days I swear I get sucked out on so many times. Cool callers just rafting the river and I end up smashed against the rocks.I'm seriously wondering if weekends are especially bad for this syndrome. Link to post Share on other sites
Awful 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I had someone cap vs. my AA then checkraise with 86o and the second pair it made. Man did I feel foolish when he showed after just calling his river raise of me (a Q on the board and his ridiculous overplay led me to believe he had set QQ, since he capped PF. Man, I love when my reads are kinda off like that). Also, my BR has come to a crossroads: Move up, or buy an iPod with my winnings after depositing to pick up a party skin bonus. Decisions, decisions... what a night. Definite nice upswing.As for the hands, 1 is well played, 2 is a case where yeah, you lead the turn, and HOLY F***NUTS #3 is crazy.And I thought the 26 dollar pot I won with KTs missing a flush and backdooring the nut straight was a monster pot on party .5/1 Link to post Share on other sites

Also drunk maniacs who raise with everything, and for some reason Party has decided that noone running AA against me will survive, but I will lose with AA, QQ, and especially JJ to small sets EVERY TIME.Last night I had a 60BB downswing from 10:30-12:00, then a 64BB upswing 12:00-1:30. I felt kinda bad, like I was manufacturing a winning night, but it was funny to see a net plus considering how buried I was early.I need to get a cold and stay home like a loser playing online more often. This has potential. Link to post Share on other sites
wrto4556 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Don't say "like a loser". It hurts my feelings. I played for 12 hours today. I play 50+ hours a week. Link to post Share on other sites

Weekends are horrible- lolMaybe I shouldn't drink bourbon either. I dropped down a limit to try and blow some steam but I ended up making the bleeding worse, lol I think we need a FCP IRC room to vent these sessions at each other. Link to post Share on other sites
HtotheNootch 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I find I make more profit at the lower limits on the weekends. Wow are the fish schooling up. I can usually hit a 25/50 limit table for between $5 and $10 in a little while and that's without catching a lot of cards. To make that income, I see about 20% of the flops and win about 7% of the total hands.I play at UB so it might be different other places. Link to post Share on other sites

NormanHaupt 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 So you tighten up during weekend fish?I loosen up quite a bit because of all the passive calling I tend to see- hmm maybe I'll try a couple more hours playing tighter Link to post Share on other sites
NormanHaupt 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Oh its entirely likely I missed the entire point of the post- lol too much bourbon- but you did sound like you're complaining.The swings are too much for me Link to post Share on other sites

Mattnxtc 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 as long as you just accept that on weekends you tend to lose more with good hands the easier it will be to win money in the end. i played about 2 hrs tonight and ended up 70bb just by playin extremely tight and makin sure i had the best hand. If you just wait for the nuts people will call along with you everytime...I will admit the a6 was a bad call unless he had a a of diamonds and woulda had 4 to the flush Link to post Share on other sites
Kappa1873 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I had my aces busted by 2 3 tonight and let me tell ya...that was an all time low.What are people thinking? And how in the world are you supposed to put someone on 23s in a raised pot? Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I think that we need to delete this thread before toogood's massive kid ego gets any bigger, just a thought Link to post Share on other sites
Mattnxtc 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 as a person who has to play low limit b/c of money issues...the trick is to find tables where people arent playing every hand and to find tables that are short. its a whole lot easier. Even if I am 95% sure I have the best hand..If somebody starts reraising me... Ill just start calling. Yah I might not win the most bb possible but to me its a safer play Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I think that we need to delete this thread before toogood's massive kid ego gets any bigger, just a thoughtWe should delete TooGood actually... and if somehow we could give me more power... that would be sweet... thanks!!

DiverDown4 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Not really relevant, im on a huge lull right now, I cant win a pot, and its not that im getting sucked out on, well a few times, but thats normal. No, i cant find a hand to play, cant buy one. I saw K J UTG, today and i almost wanted to raise, I hadnt seen a hand like that in weeks!!! Link to post Share on other sites
shamhawks 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I got your point the first time...guess i need to drink a little the fish got him 2 pots for a total of about 24 bb, but he was patient and took down a 46bb pot Link to post Share on other sites

NormanHaupt 0 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 And again. Am I doing anything wrong trying to protect my hand?
