$50 to $1000 on pstars day 27

[Smasharoo 0]

The GoalTo turn $50 in my first Pokerstars deposit into $1000.The RulesI'll play only Limit games, primarily Holdem, though I might mix in some O8 or Stud etc. later on.I won't move up in limits without at least 300BB for the new limit. I will post hands that I win and lose and explain my thinking behind how I played them.I'm too lazy to spellcheck. Deal with it.Day 27, Moving on up...again.Well, I'll say this for the .50/$1 game on Pstars, it sure gets me FPP faster.Aside from that it play close to identical to the .25/.50 game, but a little tighter on the river (which is really probably FPS gone bad much of the time).Got in about 300 or so hands, got to $325 and then just now logged into the FCP table for ten hands. FCP table results: Pots won at showdon 0. Pots won without showdown 4. Made $5.I figured I'd group some simmilar hands together for this one, so here are the AA hands:Dealt to thecandle [As Ad]thecandle: raises $0.50 to $1Ace92: calls $1Duke323: folds Chuck_SA: folds Butter2000: folds gopnik: folds power101man: calls $0.75RMLMCL: folds I raise UTG and get called by UTG+1 and the SB.*** FLOP *** [Jd 3d Qs]power101man: checks thecandle: bets $0.50Ace92: calls $0.50power101man: calls $0.50I bet out into this flop.*** TURN *** [Jd 3d Qs] [Td]power101man: checks thecandle: bets $1Ace92: raises $1 to $2power101man: folds thecandle: calls $1I bet out when a scary card hits, get raised and call.*** RIVER *** [Jd 3d Qs Td] [Ts]thecandle: checks Ace92: bets $1thecandle: calls $1This is a striaght of a flush most of the time, but it's JQ/QT/JT often enough to make this an easy call.

Just a general question.When playing with other FCP'ers do they try to run you down or stay out of your way? My guess would be there is no middle ground

*** RIVER *** [Jd 3d Qs Td] [Ts] thecandle: checks Ace92: bets $1 thecandle: calls $1 This is a striaght of a flush most of the time, but it's JQ/QT/JT often enough to make this an easy call. Not that I'd generally fold AA in a pot this big on this board anyway. Of the three you listed, you can only beat qj with two tens on board along with a queen and jack. Calling with that board is as you say hemorraging or spewing chips. The key to to limit is SAVING bets when you are OBVIOUSLY beat. The fact that he check called on turn made it cleary obvious he didnt have jq thus it was very clear it was either straight, flush, trips or boat and calling with aces is just a flat out bad call. Marrying a hand like this is very fishy like.

[mrnuts 0]

sorry i meant the check raise on the turn should have made it clear since every draw that was on the flop got there and the call of the raise there and the river call was clear CHIP SPEWING as you call it

The key to to limit is SAVING bets when you are OBVIOUSLY beatYou're right, I read it too fast.Folding there is horrible though.Folding to the turn raise isn't that bad.

i never said i dont respect that or him, i think what he is doing is cool and 50/325 is impressive but ive seen him give his critique of the way players play hands in a harsh and unneccessary way like telling them to quit playing and such, and just thought he should be able to take what he gives in stride.

haha why you erase the part where you say you are better at it than me???Because I thought about it and it sounded petty and pointless.although not untrue.

if you say so oh great one.......i only play maybe 15-20 hrs a week at hollywood park park after work but i avg. about a 1.5 bb an hour playing 20/40 for the last 9 months when im not playing pot or no limit. If you do the math it beats the hell out of GRINDING it out multi tabling 3/6 40hrs a week. So lets just say u win at being better at small limit hold em and i win in the having a life department. I think that means i win overrall but im sure you'll have a corny rebuttle for me.

p.s. limping with a4 and a6 suited regardless of position is not a play you should be teaching your pupils.

Well, you can't say regardless of position. What if it gets checked to you and you are next to big blind? See a cheap flop with a suited ace. Fold when there is no action, if you hit something on the flop you could get pretty good equity in there.

goodnight. have to get up at 5 for work so you can tell me tomm how it is your are better than me

If you do the math it beats the hell out of GRINDING it out multi tabling 3/6 40hrs a weekNah, it's about the same.I grind it out at home, when I feel like it, don't tip anyone, have better table selection and less variance.I booked over 40K last year, playing part time.how'd you do?

[mrnuts 0]

he called in late position and i think one was on the button but neither was 5-6 way when he did limp which makes the play a bad one unless you are in the small blind

He apparantly bags 60 bucks an hour at 20/40. That's still very good, better than what I could do sure. Smash define "part time" please :wink:

[mrnuts 0]

your a math guy but here you go 9 months= about 40 weeks 20/40 at 1.5 bb hr x 20hrs/week if i lost you thats 1200 x 40= you can take it from there im sure. Thats at about 20 hrs a week so you keep packing on those pounds sitting in front of your computer multi tabling and not giving tips as you say and ill enjoy life and play part time live. oops i win again... goodnight

He apparantly bags 60 bucks an hour at 20/40. That's still very good, better than what I could do sure.Yeah, if he plays 40 hours a week, he'll make $120k.I make that writing about 300 hours a year.All relative I guess.

Smash this isn't some dick measuring contest, to put it frankly. You both do well at the poker table, but the point is if you fold Suited ace late position with no raise, like next to the Small or Big Blind, you shouldn't be playing.

Okay I shouldnt generalize, but I wouldnt ALWAYS throw it away, thats just retarded.
