Well, the first day of the month has sucked so far. My stats are awesome though, I think for me. 25/9/2.2 I'm trying to keep a few things in mind. 1) Punish limpers in position. 2) Don't flat call with sets. lol I really think the results will turn around if I stick to the gameplan. I've been raising a ton more than I'm used to, I'm just missing a lot of flops today and having to lay hands down.

25/9 is pretty good, and is a hell of a lot 'cleaner' than your 35/4 of old. I'd like to see it up at 28/15 consistently, but it's better to walk before you run

I like the two things you're keeping in mind. I really think 1 is absolutely vital and central to playing good aggressive PLO, and 2 is more of a secondary factor. Preflop you are looking to build value with good hands, and exploit weakness. There are relatively few hands I will limp with on the button behind a late position limper. Maybe some rainbow connectors like 4678, or things like As6s6x4x (although against tight blinds I might raise with both of those).

Because you're transitioning to a new style at the moment, I do think you need to be posting/discussing a lot of hands. It's very easy to drift the wrong side, and if you become overaggressive you can lose money extremely quickly.

Example from this morning:

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is Button with 9 Q 3 Q
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $2.25, CO calls, Hero calls, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: T 8 8 ($9.25, 4 players)
BB checks, UTG+1 checks, CO checks, Hero bets $6, BB calls, 2 folds.

Turn: T ($21.25, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $13, BB raises to $26, Hero folds.


This is what can happen when you're overaggressive. My flop bet is ok IMO, but the turn bet is kinda spewy. This is probably a side effect of my NLHE 'upbringing'. The turn looked like a real scare card that would get an 8 to fold, but I think it's a better decision to check behind there.

IDK, I don't hate my play there, but it's obviously pretty marginal at best. Mostly, I'm posting this to illustrate how easy it can be to spew when trying to exploit weak play. I essentially lost $19 (3/5 of a buyin) where most players probably wouldn't lose a penny. A couple of overaggressive moves in the wrong spots and you can drop a couple of buyins almost without realising.

I'm not suggesting this will happen to you, it's just a case of forewarned is forearmed, so to speak.



Oh, and the 1st of the month for me:

282 hands, +$12.2. Didn't get any big hands, and only played for a little over an hour (played 7:45am to about 9am because it was the only time I would be free all day). I maybe misplayed a couple hands too, which .

I'm in London staying with a couple of friends until Monday, so won't be able to play much until Tuesday really. Really going to get some solid hours in over the next few weeks.

Wow, is that it seemed liked? Actually, you were the person that was the recipient of the chip dump. The person that was colluding with The_C@t was an employee of PS and we are not allowed to discuss that at this point.

I've been progressively getting testier since my rakeback account was shut down.

What the fk is this guy thinking?

Nice hand. Double suited queens there are easily good enough to raise with.

Thought I'd play a quick session this morning:



I'm liking December so far.

Since my internet connection was repaired:





Sustainable?

Oh, and with allin luck, equity adjusted is still 45.6BB/100.

It's been a long time since I've run this good. It feels good.

nice simo, good to see u are crushing it with the quality internet going. Here is a hand that made me giggggle!!

^^^BAHAHAHA.

Fitz you play those stakes often? I think I have to give up on FTP with the account issues I have had. Have you done a comparison with rakeback to FPP's to see how it works out? Just wondering why you wouldn't play with rakeback?

Also, what stats do you have on that guy? Specifically is he a winning player? I don't care if he had 6 high you can't fold that. If I can get another hand that big into PT for $2...SHIIIIIP.

Yea these are pretty much the stakes i normally play, not quite properly rolled for them quite yet but i tripled my bankroll on stars over the weekend playin so i can't complain. i feel my game got sooo much better just by playing it a lot over the weekend. No, I don't have rakeback on any site=(, i make my money the hard way. I would play with rakeback on full tilt but ive heard u cant have it if you have already created an account. I know i made a shiit ton of FPP's over the weekend playing .25 .50 and .50 1$ so its not all bad.

This was my first day back after taking a FTP induced hiatus. Ran around 32/15/3.5 five tabling and it felt just like old times.

6 handed ring game. dealt 4 5 6 7 or 2 3 4 5 or 6 7 8 9 suited or not. 2 limpers to you in the cutoff, do you raise? I like to raise with these hands...what about everyone else, are we making more money by attracting more into the pot?

2345 probably not. It's a little trashy. The other two probably yes.

It depends a lot on how the limpers and blinds are playing as to how trashy my raising standards are.

Well Simo, I'm neck and neck with you thus far in December. 33.99 BB/100 through 2,650 hands. Even played a little 2/4 tonight when someone that I took 4 BI off HU wanted to chase their losses. We played for maybe 10 minutes there until I won another BI and then quit. Feeling really good about things overall. I suppose I could check my PokerEV graph and see how well I'm running in all that, but why spoil the fun?

Here is another donk to add to your guys buddy list. When board paired i thought i was done.

You're behind almost any hands he bets the flop with. I probably just fold to the 1/2 pot bet although I don't have a problem with calling there.

It wasn't even him who bet..which in a way makes it worse. This was in the "steam" part of my session which fortunately occurred in the first 250 hands. The last 250 I settled in and made a big comeback.

^^Didn't notice. Once you c/r the flop you're kinda pot comitted to calling the shove I think. I just don't like the c/r.

The QQ92 hand I pot the turn for more value. I also probably bet a little on the river for value for if he had nut flush draw and has some retarded two pair or something. I like to value bet pretty thin though.

The KKT6 hand is an odd decision on the turn. I usually bet out there and call a shove. Your c/r line is interesting though. Why did you do it?

bdc runs goot after bad start. Feel good about my play too, running at 21/8/2

That's great. Good to see you TAGing up. I think you're just about where BudBundy was.

You're playing a reasonable style now, albeit a little nitty. It seems like you're comfortable with it and you're winning, so there's no pressing need to change any further, but if you can endeavour to bump 21/8 to about 25/14 over time that would, I think, help significantly.

Morning session:



-4 buyins in the first ~100 hands, then +6 buyins in the last ~200.

Also, it's nice to be sat with >3 buyins at all 3 tables (I'd just left the bottom right one with ~$100)

Zomg, Actuary! Welcome back. You plo'ing again?? Is that one of those famous "fear the nuts" hands or what?!?

my goal is to maintain a healthy balance.

It may include PLO.
It definately won't include as much time on FCP

Wow what a day. I don't have the stomach for many more of these....lol Played more Simo-like too, I really think it has as much to do with the cards as anything. I got a lot of raising hands, and raised with them. Ended up 25/13/3.5

Rough Month so far. 2500 hands running 26/9/3.5. AF on each street is .5/3/3.9/4.7. I feel like I have been raising a ton, especially when I lose a gross one, but it just doesn't seem like I am hitting many flops. This makes me ill....along with a lot of my play.

Up until that point I had played it pretty much like Aces so I figured he would bet if I checked. I was fairly certain I was good against this opponent.

Well howdy there stranger.

I talked to Bundy for a moment today, I guess he moved and due to a few things had no internet for two weeks or so. Said he'll be back with a vengeance now though

Sure would be nice to win one of these. Before Simo asks....c/r turn for the same reason above...already caught this guy making two moves on me and frankly I just didn't believe him and wanted him to go with something like he did.

I like how you played it. Usually I bet the turn there, but against someone making moves at you I think it's good to c/r. He probably raises the flop with a set or possibly top two, so that 7 doesn't hit him too often.

Does anyone like his plain call on the flop?

I prefer a repot there because he might buy a free river, but I don't mind his flat call too much.

Ok...time for some Simo and Iggy intervention. I've been playing well this first week of the month, and running decently as well, but my stupid graph still looks the same, with blue>red>green. My stats for the 3,400 hands are 22.07/8.83/2.35 with +9.27 bb/100 profit.
