Basically shot taking is very +EV if done properly.

I would also say that it is much better suited to the more technical game of PLO than HE.

"The Science of Shot Taking". There's a good article there somewhere.

I think that to put it in a nutshell:

Bankroll management > Triple range-merging

I'm playing for half an hour this morning while I drink my tea and read the news.

First hand I get  in the cut off.

Seat 5 makes it $3, I back raise to $8. (It's my thread so I can say back raise) He calls.

Flop 

He checks, I bet $12. He snap-calls. Already I'm thinking..... "Watch me get stacked here, surely he can't have Jacks.. Can he?"

The turn is the  and I'm thinking.....  Have Jacks, Oh God please have Jacks....

He checks, I check behind.

River 

He bets $22, I push, he calls.

He shows    .  Ouch! Poor bugger.

Interesting, on my recent spin I set myself a financial target to hit every week. Nothing too difficult but it focused my mind to make sure I got there.

At work I do this all the time, whilst I have a big overall goal I set myself little mini goals en-route to make the final end point not seem so far away. It makes everything seem a lot more achievable. I think this is a very good plan to have for poker and it holds back the temptation of going for the big shit or bust spin (unless I'm pissed  )

No Cos, I haven't got a goal as such. I suppose I would just like to be able to win at online cash.

I keep reading about how "Soft" this or that site is, or how you can "crush" the small games. Well I've never been able to win consistently playing online cash at any level.

So now, while I'm working and poker is just a hobby, I'm just enjoying trying to find a way to beat the game. I would be chuffed to bits if I could average a profit of $50 a day.

Fair play red. I defo think you can playing the style you are at the moment. Perfect timing to embark on something like this too with all the septics not in the games.

Obviously you can run bad enough that you'll go broke off the current stars bankroll, it doesn't for one minute mean you can't beat the game or aren't a winning player at that level.

Do you ever look at the location of your opponents when playing?

Lol, yes, always. (I like French Spanish & Russian).

I also look to see how many tables they're playing
