36/4 for the time being
Here you are! I was a little worried you were going to shove on your BB after that guy raised it. I saw his hand, so was worried I wouldn't be able to get a picture of you before you went out. Very good fold. Click to see full-size image. |
Just have to fold the 92o sometimes

I know these games can be very frustrating and a lot of the time if you don't pick up enough above average hands, you'll be sitting around very board wondering why you can't beat a game this easy on a regular basis. Because in live poker you're only being dealt on average aroung 25 hands per hour it can seem very frustrating being card dead and losing in these kind of games but what you've got to remember is these are THE best games you can play in no matter how boring and annoying they can be. it should be very tough for your opponents to win big pots off of you on a regular basis because these are the type of players that play VERY face up post flop and you should be exploiting this.
Basically, I think in these games you can get away with playing completely unbalanced because non of the players should be good enough to exploit you. I'd recommend playing hands that make strong top pair hands, all broad way cards ofc are the vest for this and 88+ ofc. If you haven't already i'd start includung hands like KJo and A9 in you preflop raising range wuite regularly because these kind of players will always call with worse hands and you can take them to value town postflop. Also make your raises BIG, like £10+ over a limp because this should in theory narrow down their preflop limp calling range when it is for more money and therefore make it easier for you to assign them a range.
It also isn't as bad thing to overlimp suited connectors because if you're isolating these hands it it hard to make a top pair hand and I think that in the long run overlimping 22-66 in these games can't be too bad either because there aren't many good flops for these hands that don't flop a set. Nobody will click on to the fact you're raising with broadway cards/pairs and overlimping other hands that have potential value postflop but be careful not to get too loose in your overlimping range. Don't start including 56o etc because its easy to get caught up in the limping fun but stay diciplined and you will start to show profit. To summarise, bet big for value, don't be ashamed to overlimp suited connectors, stick to good top pair hands and bet big postflop, don't give your opponents the opportunity to draw for cheap. Don't ever feel like you're being owned at any point, these people are just playing their cards and playing completely face up so when they a represents a certain hand they usually have it so just continue with the strategey and you will start to crush.

Anyone in the nottingham area fancy debuting for the DTD Degens on Wednesday night? Team is obv rife with "injuries" for the next couple of weeks so we need some half decent stand-ins.
And some kind of reference/proof that you can kick a ball
