Alone in the Dark - The poker musings of an also ran

[RED-DOG]

Red Dog, Can I ask what your motivations and goals for this bankroll are?

Is it to spin up a few hundred then cash out? Grind it up to a proper bankroll large enough to play the current stakes and then move up the stakes?

As for the AA hand, why did you check behind on the flop?

My goal? Good question.

Fun.

I want to play poker, I want to have fun doing it, I want to make sustainable profit at this level.

I haven't considered moving up levels yet. I can't win at online cash at any level so I guess I'm just trying to solve that puzzle.

If I can't make a profit, I want my losses to be as small as possible while I'm having fun.

Scratch that. The real reason is, I want to CRUUUUSH!!!!!!!


The AA hand? Checking behind was a mistake eh?

If we are dissing writing styles, please stop using exclamation marks after every sentence, which is, arguably, far worse. Dude.

You must, thank goodness, be the only person to ever write "RIP!!"

Disappear for a week-end to Newcastle.  Come back to discover gatso is terrorising geese.  Cos has gone all quiet.  Chuckles isn't complaining about bad beats.  Tom and Tony have been abducted by aliens.  And their alien replacements talk hood speak.  WTF is going on 'round here?!

Do I have to call the river with the nut flush?

Fist pump jam while doing a pelvic thrust is apparently the way to go...maybe throw a "BOOOOOOOOM" into the mix as yer at it.

Or ya could snap fold just for shits and giggles.  Forgot about that one.

Current SBR = $105.62  (Not going well is it?)

I honestly dont know.. I think that as a general rule in FRNL, if you know your opponent is competent and your range is very strong (as it is here), but your opponent doesn't seem to care, you should make some very big laydowns.  

If you want to avoid that you should move to 6max, then everyones range is much much wider.

More on this concept, and six max general strategies and principles please, if you have the time and the inclination.

Their range has to be wider, but doesn't my range have to be wider too?

Even at FR it's at very least a call.

I mean come on. What beats us here? 67s, QQ, or Qfull. He hasn't got queens full surely so that leaves quads or the straight flush. Both are unlikely. He's more likely to have AQ/KQ/JQ or maybe the . He could also be bluffing.

[RED-DOG]

Lol. I don't know what FR is
