bad habits?? take a look.

[NorthPacific 25]

I was three tabling at Paradise last night and for the third night noticed I was having trouble with large variances. I normally play for a couple of hours and end the night up quite a lot. I have noticed that although I have still been ending the night up, I have been playing longer and not showing as much profit. I think I may be developing some bad habits. I pulled these hands from the several hundred I played last night. They’re hands that I think I may be playing wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.-----------------------------------------------------Game #751606415 - $0.25/$0.50 Texas Hold'em - 2005/03/17-02:01:21.0 (CST)Table "Trobriand" (real money) -- Seat 5 is the buttonSeat 2: TheElder ($12.05 in chips)Seat 3: NorthPacific ($14.65 in chips)Seat 4: jcdawg1111 ($1.20 in chips)Seat 5: seneca sam ($7.80 in chips)Seat 6: TuBig ($16.05 in chips)Seat 7: Dolphyn ($10.45 in chips)Seat 8: RoyBattyX1 ($18.91 in chips)Seat 9: AngrySon ($12.90 in chips)TuBig : Post Small Blind ($0.10)Dolphyn : Post Big Blind ($0.25)Dealing...Dealt to NorthPacific [ Jh ]Dealt to NorthPacific [ Qc ]RoyBattyX1: Fold AngrySon: Fold TheElder: Call ($0.25)NorthPacific: Call ($0.25)jcdawg1111: Call ($0.25)seneca sam: Fold TuBig : Fold Dolphyn : Check I call with JQo from middle position.

I was three tabling at Paradise last night and for the third night noticed I was having trouble with large variances. I normally play for a couple of hours and end the night up quite a lot. I have noticed that although I have still been ending the night up, I have been playing longer and not showing as much profit. I think I may be developing some bad habits.

I'd like you to play at my table all the time.

At these limits, a lot of what would be considered leaks in play at higher limits may actually not be as unprofitable. But I'll analyze these as if they were in a good 5-10 or 10-20 table, to optimize play.I call with JQo from middle position. Too loose??Somewhat. Depends on the % of player seeing the flop. If it's greater than 40% or so, yes, I would make this call. *** FLOP *** : [ 3d 2h 9h ]Dolphyn : Check TheElder: Bet ($0.25)NorthPacific: Fold jcdawg1111: Call ($0.25)Dolphyn : Fold Miss the flop and fold. Considered calling the small bet with two over cards, any thoughts on that play.No, that's a bad move. Your Q or J could beatnen by someone calling with KJ or KQ, and there's no other draws you can make. _____________________call with small pp UTG +1. Of course it gets raised and I call. Is it too loose to call with 5’s that early?No, I like it. You'll make more money hitting your sets (but NOT drawing for them unless there's a huge pot). *** FLOP *** : [ Qc Ks Ad ]RoyBattyX1: Check DaShaSiFang: Check TheElder: Check NorthPacific: Check TuBig : Bet ($0.25)RoyBattyX1: Call ($0.25)DaShaSiFang: Call ($0.25)TheElder: Call ($0.25)NorthPacific: Fold Miss the flop and fold.Easy fold. _____________________Call a raise from the sb with non suited gapped connectors. I tend to play gapped connecters from the blinds and occasionally call a raise. I was multi-tabling and didn’t realize I was head up. Usually only call the raise in a multi-way pot. I think it’s a pretty big leak but the problem is it has paid off nicely several times. Is this a case of good results enforcing bad habits?Yes, you're out of position, so if you hit a flop but not perfectly (say, 8 7 2) you're going to have a tough time responding to other players' actions, and you'll end up losing money more times than gaining it. Even calling from the button with unsuited gapped is way loose. _____________________Call a raise from the sb with KJoMarginal again, but if the table is loose it's fine. *** FLOP *** : [ Tc 3c Qh ]NorthPacific: Check seneca sam: Check Dolphyn : Check RoyBattyX1: Bet ($0.25)NorthPacific: Call ($0.25)seneca sam: Call ($0.25)Dolphyn : Fold Pick up a OESD and call.*** TURN *** : [ Tc 3c Qh ] [ 6h ]NorthPacific: Check seneca sam: Check RoyBattyX1: Bet ($0.50)NorthPacific: Call ($0.50)seneca sam: Fold Still OESD and call.*** RIVER *** : [ Tc 3c Qh 6h ] [ 5c ]NorthPacific: Check RoyBattyX1: Bet ($0.50)NorthPacific: Fold Miss and fold.

Bet again, same results. Should I have checked?I'd check fold this. You're probably wasting one big bet almost every time here. Exceptions can be made for really tight tables, or if you've been playing very tightly so far._____________________I call with suited connectors from UTG+1.

Any pocket pair above 5's beats the board. Were you just praying for a split?

Playing non-suited gapped connectors is a gaping leak in your game, so stop if you want to make money.

Echoing probably the rest of the forum's sentiments... calling a raise from the SB with T8o is pretty bad. Completing the small blind is a HUGE difference from calling a raise.The general vibe I'm getting is a bit too loose pre-flop with cute little 78s type hands. These are late position only hands, because you're hardpressed to try the "raise for a free card" play if you limp UTG+1 with it. Suited connectors and semi-connectors are much better no limit hands, because you often have to show down winners in limit. I think the best advice for you is to stick to big cards and pairs.

You're playing too many NL hands.... you have to adjust to limit.
