That was pretty much my whole first 500 hands. My biggest pot won was $12, biggest lost was $9, yet I was still -75.

Unfortunately I'm 5 buyins down.

You still trying to tag it up, or have you re-simo'd?

40bb/100 and waiting for the variance monster to kick in.

6 buyins down now.

Today I'm 19/13 over 1k hands.

hmmm I am 56/9... i know I am playing too many hands but these guys seem to be going broke so easy.

OMG FullTilt have $50pl HU tables.

I am so happy.

Jean is exactly 19/13 over 5k hands in my database. But i guess it is easier to play that tight while 12 tabling.

Btw i am a proud 26/12 for the last 25k hands or so and i am happy about it!

I hate the HU tables.

Played a really passive guy that ran like God.

Today so far: Lost 5 buyins. Equity adjusted lost 1 buyin.

Not just that, but every turn card was the worst card in the deck. Followed by the worst possible river card.

Like, I flop TPTK with nfd, his gutshot+low flush draw hits the straight on the turn (and I check/call), river gives me trips and I'm forced to pay off his 1/3 pot bet.

Every flush hit, every straight hit.

Every time I folded it was blindingly obvious he had it, but he hit every time.

Oh, and for 2008 I'm down over 7 buyins in 3300 hands.

This game will be the death of me.

No it won't.

You will whine whine whine for a few more days.

Then you will stop whinning.

Then you will start posting hands where donks stack off to you with funny hands.

Then you will start making this game is E Z posts.

Then you will stop doing that.

Then you will start whinning again

gg all the rakeback I earned from December in the first 5 days of this month. I can't win a fking thing, I'm missing flops like crazy. Playing good statistically too, 26/11, just whiffing flop after flop after flop. I can't dodge a draw for shit, people are playing garbage against me and hitting.......I have to do something else for a bit to clear my head. Might play some hold'em or tourneys or something for a bit.

I lead the flop there.

First day of holdem went pretty well.....Playing 16/12/3.5 man is it a different game. I can 6 table fairly easily too, which is nice. Think I'll stick with it a bit.

Pefect example of why I hate MTTs
This guy has been very agg using his stack.
He "made" me fodl a flush HU on the turn with 23 left and I was 11th in chips.
I was 18/18 at one point but worked it up to 12/16
170 entries
18 paid
Same payout for 10-18.

I could post some great calls I had made and nitty laydowns and solid traps to get to this spot. (I need to get that resteal thing down but I get too careful and dont want to go down with marginal holdings)
I should be happy just to cash in these luck box crap shoots
I must say I admire the guys who can keep the pressure up relentlessly - but also know when to lay down.

I asked this clown "What were you callling with on the flop?"
He said: "A prayer and it's 2:30 am?"
I said: "I guess all those chips make you stupid, j/k gg"
He said "Sorry it didn't work out for you"
I dont play enough MTTs to complain; but damn. The more I play the more I think making -ev plays in order to build a stack is much more successful that treating it like a "cash game" and looking at EV of each hand.

ps. This is the thread to bitch about PLO bad beats, right?

I busted all my accounts except Stars not too long ago... So anyway I had like 2500 points on UB. I used 1250 to buy in to a $5 PLO-8B tourney. 109 players and I finished 3rd. So now I have 64 dollars on UB. Whats my next high risk / high reward step? $50 PLO tourney? Blackjack? Royal Hold'em?

This place is dead now bdc isn't posting hands and getting bad beats and things. I'm not playing PLO either, and Bud is MIA.

This place is lacking drama.

I just saw bud in the challenge thread - and I know he lost 5 buyins the other day -- but he's doing exams right now too.

but as if on cue, Iggy's broke (again)

see the goals thread for the details.
(involves playing 50/100 lhe and 30/60 triple draw.........sigh)

What did you start off playing again? When I first started playing omahaha was running at like 48/20 or something retarded like that. I've lowered to like 35/15. I probably need to play less hands, but going from playing half the hands to a quarter of the hands is difficult for me...

A few months ago he was ~35/3. Then it slowly improved to 25/7. Now it's looking pretty healthy.

Stats are way overrated.

Raise more preflop , play more aggro etc doesn't make any sense to me. Some hands you have to play aggro , some hands you have to play passive against different opponents.

You can't have pre-game tactics or strategies in poker. You just adjust to the table and players.

Just focus on making the right decision and playing every individual hand as best as you can.

Someone playing 40/35 is spewingly aggro.
Someone playing 13/4 is just far too nitty.
Someone playing 60/10 is far too loose passive.
etc.
etc.

There are different successful styles, but for 6max, most of them fall somewhere between ~22/7 and ~35/23 (upper and lower bounds for VPIP and PFR).

You shouldn't try to mould your game round the stats ("hmm, I've been too passive so I should raise some weaker hands to get the stats looking better", "I've been too aggro this session according to PTO - I need to call more to balance it out"). If you're playing your hands well, your stats should naturally converge to show good numbers.

Omg -- I couldn't believe when the pot slid to me on this river......

^^That's why I'm happy with NLHE for the moment.

Sickness.

hmm, i'd forgotten for a couple days WHY I quit playing omaha. Thanks to fulltiltsuckmycockpoker for reminding me today. over, and over, and over...

maybe we just suck

I thought I started playing NL because variance was lower?

Where's the "expectation" line though?

That's the net run line, so expectation is 0.

Bottom set is for suckers?
