Should i quit the cash tables?

[jezza777]

Suze , the question is why do you play poker ? If its for the buzz and rush then fantastic but if you are playing to win then you need to be careful . If Beeze turns over 99, or 10, 9 on that hand how do you feel ?

I'd imagine she would feel great winning the pot rather than chopping it

EH?

We both had 2 pair on the flop...10 2  LOL

99 and 10-9 would only make one smaller pair, hence a loser.

sorry either I'm having a woosh moment here or being really stupid.


the board reads  9, 10 2, 3 , Q

so if he tables 99 or 9 10 then he either has a set or 2 pairs 9's and 10 which beats 2 pair 10's and 2's? please tell me I'm right or I'm gonna have to give up this poker lark as a bad idea.

Board; 8 10 2 3 Q


So she would of won with 2 pair

oh cripes ,      . Thats taking lessond from TK for you! Bit of a missread there. ummm so if he tables 88 or 8, 10 , how do you feel is what I should have said!!

[jezza777]

LOL suze absolutley , I had to look really close to see it was an 8  . I've told myself that my mind was playing tricks cos I was convinced it was a 9!

Wipes the tears from my eyes 

Ok...being serious...yes he/she MIGHT have had 10 8 or 88 or any pp hoping to hit in which case I am drawing but in a 6 seat cash game with only 1 guy fishing I thought I was in front.

I thought it was worth the gamble...what are the pot odds here?

[jezza777]

oh I have no problem with the call at all. In fact other than the 1st hand I don't think you played anything badly . The board isnt flushing , there is some str8 potential but not very much danger , even if he has limped with AA you've outflopped him. My point was to question your motivation for playing the game, and it seems that you are having fun with it and that is perfect really . If you are happy to have fun with the game and it not cost you any more than your origional deposit then really you should play what you like. Worrying too much about bankroll considerations, making player notes, tracking results  and all of that stuff really takes the shine off the game .

I had the great pleasure of playing flushy and junglecat in a $5 extended tonight along with several other blondes...would appreciate a feedback from all of you about my play and as to whether I should move up in stake.

I have to admit I played tighter than normal and maybe stole 3rd place from Nakor....short stacked and wait for 2nd short stack to move in which he did  LOL

[Royal Flush]

Well i would keep hitting runner flushes vs me!!! 

Tbh i dont know, i was too busy trying to decamilse evreyones stack!

[JungleCat03]

Thought you played well suzanne and I enjoyed the game with you claw sark nakor and all the other blondes. Apologies to everyone I outdrew!

You were unlucky that basically the deck smacked me and I had position on you so you kept running into me with hands, chips and position... a bad combo!

In general it's fairly easy to do well in stts...there's a lot of bad players, especially in the extended level comps. You have a lot of time to get your chips in with big edges in these comps. If i'm playing properly i dont get involved with marginal hands till the later levels when if i play them I'll generally be raising them.

Depending on what your bankroll is I would suggest continue playing at the level you are used to, and once you get a good solid string of results, move up a level and repeat.

Tank and Wardonkey are the real experts on this sort of thing....I think Tank had a pyramid system for stts set up before, I'm sure they've got some good advice to offer

[suzanne]

As was predicted.............say no more.

I deserved that
