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

Oh my bad. He could obv have all the pocket pairs too. Makes it a bit closer.

Full Ring.

[doubleup]

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

yes and that = fun - also ppl bluff more, bet with mediocre holdings.

I mostly play full ring when trying to clear a bonus/get to a vip level because I can play loads of tables (I cant do that with 6 max due to senility).

I think that finding weak players is the key anyway nowadays and if you are only playing a couple of tables of 6max it should be quite easy to work out if there is any value, if not move on to another table.


and btw if you are not going to use a hud at least spend ten minutes running thru the lobby and marking the multitable players red or blue or something and assume they are reasonably competent.  Avoid tables entirely composed of multitablers.

I enjoy FR but it might be exciting to try 6 max. If I go busto again, I might take a shot at it with my next c note.

SBR = $187.07

So bearing the lessons of the AA hand in mind...


Mid position (fairly solid) makes it $3. Next man (Station) calls the $3, I'm in the cut off with QQ.

$13.

Tom, don't get hung up on what hand you have.

How does it look if you re-raise?
What does your hand look like?

How will your opponents view you if you squeeze and what hands will they continue with and how?

Once we have thought about this we can then work out what hands we want to place in which ranges.

you are more confused than me. think we are leveling each other without actually knowing river was  ..his hand was so giving him the straight flush and you the nut flush...some would call this a cooler (those some would also 5 bet jam AK pre and call it a cooler running into AA orKK) but as the board had paired i think you would have possibly gien this hand up live because of the full house hand beating you. if you had 3 bet more pre flop i think the guy still calls in the bb and you would have lost more (unless he stacked you off any way then would be impossible to lose more.) but i am just learning again

Have I missed the post where after the hand has finished you typed in the chat box " Heads up for rolls you donk?" Because that's my favourite bit.

Nah, he's proper hip - has a lappy and all.  But don't ask what happened to the poor cat.  It's still recovering and has since formed a union with the moles.
