Hey guys, I've been on holiday last few weeks so that's why I haven't updated.
Alright mate, what sites do you play hu NL on? Also what did you think of the 2011 mix of pow? Personally thought it was complete trash.
New pow was pretty average imo. The old one reminds me of Uni and the uni bar/club getting smashed up whenever it came on. Play on most networks.
I've been saying to myself for the last few years that I'd go to Vegas and go and play the WSOP. It hasn't happened mainly to it not being worth if financially, me being terrible in tournaments and the online games being too good to miss for 2 months. However I feel this may be my last year playing poker professionally and I know I'd deeply regret not doing something that was one of the main reasons I fell in love with poker to begin with. So next year I'm planning on playing a full schedule. As many events as possible, every game, big range of buyins, no regrets. I've been putting a fair amount of work into lots of different games, mainly PLO and O8, and plan to be good enough to play all these events. I've been grinding 8/10 game along with HU and starting 6 max games, and have also started to play in a DC game regularly. TBH i'm really bad at stud/stud 8 and razz but I am thoroughly enjoying playing these games.
I'm gunna set a budget of $50k for the WSOP so I'll set that as a goal. Obv the budget may go up depending on the schedule but it seems like a good goal and to give the thread a bit of direction.
The month has gotten off to a good start, won about £1k playing 2/2 DC from 2 sessions and around $3k online, including 2 FT in 8 game tournaments.
I'll post a few interesting hands from the DC game.
First is 6 card plo h/l, I 3bet an open and 2 calls in co with A34QJT, get 4 callers naturally. Pot around £120. Flop is T62r, man leads for £80, I call. Turn is Kr, he leads pot with around the same back. Think this is a standard flat. River is a 9 and he check folds, meaning he must have had a low wrap as I don't think he folds any 2 pair getting those odds with the low bricking.
Next is a padooki hand. EP opens and I call with
, btn calls and sb calls. EP from what I've seen is bad at most of the games and stuck. BTN I've never seen before but everyone else at the table knows him and he picks padooki every btn so I guess he knows what he's doing. Sb is bad and stuck. EP draws 2, I throw the J, btn draws 2 and sb draws 1. I draw the
. EP pots it and I flat (pretty sure I should be raising here) btn flats and sb pots it to around £120 with around £700 behind. EP calls with around £90 left. I was totally lost in this spot. I was scared of making a huge mistake by getting in however many BB with an 8 and am not really sure on how strong my hand is relative to the action. I guess this just comes with experience and reads. I fold EP bricks out and sb wins with a T. I made a point after this hand of studying every padooki hand I wasn't involved in and seeing what people were doing. Seems people are doing some really bad stuff especially 8 handed and I won't be making as nittier folds in the future.
Do you call the open in the first place? Bearing in mind people are hardly ever 3betting non padookis pre.
Not sure whether to play the DTD deepstack this weekend. I haven't done an ounce of NL work that isn't HU cash for years but I have a pretty good live tourney record and expect it to be ridic soft as usual.
