In Response to Re: Looking to be a money maker... : Thanks for input, I call down A2 because of the low price and straight draw, I miss but still call the low bet on the end so i could get a read on hands pre flop he will call and his betting play ... not the best plat .. thinking of implied odds if I hit With the kk I played it wrong, that occasion my laptop was slow so I was just trying to raise asap lol So I need to raise bigger in general and tighten when blinds vs stack are high ?

ABC poker is all you need for the low value dyms. If you're stack is big, say 3.5k and up, there's no need to get involved with marginal hands like A3. You should be able to fold your way to victory more times than not. Let the rest fight it out!

I also wouldnt get into the habit of calling bets to hit gutshot straights. You'll only hit around 8% of them on the turn and 16% of them by the river. So you'll rarely get the correct pot odds to call with them. Remember also your implied odds in DYM's will also be less because people tend to (should) play tighter.

There's people way way better than me that may advise you differently but that's my take on it if it's of any use to you.

Ok so last night I was pressed first for time but managed 2 games

6 Max 50p x 2 (2nd,2 nd)

Now im back upto £ 3.20

I was using bigger bet sizing 3 x bb + even at late stages, now I feel I could of done better and came first but I lost concentration and havent played alot of heads up so next goal is to get my br up and play some heads up lol

I need a good rant! ok i been playing this brm for about a week and im constantly losing, this does suggest im not a good player... ok i can accept i need to improve but hell... about every game im getting sucked out on no matter what stacks ... if i dont call then i cant play as about every all in i have called i have been sucked on and only a few times i have held strong, ok i know you dont remember the wins like the losses but come on variance! or luck in disguise! lol im down to 2.20 br .... looks like i have a month before ill even let my self re-start lol

I was showing progression on Sharkscope, but special deposits for UKOPS and the Turbo Tuesday events a few weeks ago messed up my stats when I didn't cash in them -.-

EasyHoney · November 2013

Well i played another 2 games 2night had alot of fun (when you win it is more enjoyable... its true you know ha ha)

2 x 50p 6 max (1st,1st)

so brings my br back upto £6 .. so still down £3.50 but its on its way up

playing 2 games at once i think quenches my thirst for action lol

EasyHoney · November 2013

Today i played 2 games and lost out on 10p thanks to rake lol

2 x 6max speed (2nd,4th)

Game was very laggy missed out on 2 big hands, may of helped my get better finishes but cant be helped, dont mind losing 10p though as its all about the fun for now atleast

feel variance (mother poker) has cut me a little slack for now...

Hi Honey! I'm home!! ;-)

IIRC this was a 6 max speed? Personally, I'm folding pre. Why are you raising flop? Why you betting turn? Why you all-in on river? You are ONLY getting called by better me thinks?

Altho it's "Speed" we need to pick our spots. Says an expert who FORGOT it was speed and later went all-in 3 x handed thinking I was guaranteed 3rd place in a DYM! Went out 3rd! with 2 x places paid! Dohhhh!

EasyHoney · November 2013

Played 5 games 2day

50p 6max x 5 (1st,4th,4th,6th,1st)

bank roll back up to

£7.60 ...

So climbing back upto my £9.50 stack, will go upto £1 games when i get to £15

i dont think my game is getting better, just maybe im getting some good hands vs hands... possibly playing more has made a little known in 6max 50p bi and i get some fold respect .... who knows lol

I was playing rather loose and the table was a little tight so thought... looking at straight/flush draws and hands i get called by would generally pre-flop be premium of j10o plus, flop comes low cards cant see much connecting with the board, i have open end straight draw so continue bet only called so i think hmmm maybe pockets ? k comes i think, i bet, a made flush raises me or higher pair does, iv commited chips now and dont think opponent has a good hand, 7 comes cant put him on trips so i think i go all in i can bluff 2 pair off because he possibly puts me flush, trips, 2pair, nothing hand... i played it poorly but i just thought hmmm very good read on my play if thats what made a call or a poor call getting paid off

i dont like dym... atleast not right now lol lost most my br playing them lol

You did notice the flop was 578s rite? Not only could he be "connected" he could be a "made guy"! (Donnie Brasco) ;-)

With the tightness of the table I could not see the opponent connecting with the flop ... possibly flush draw

Say you was the opponent ... you have AA's ... can you call those bets on that board ... ignore the 7s because we both have that minimum

Opinions on some choice hands, the good, the bad and the ugly .. comments welcomed

played 4 x 50p 6max (2nd,3rd,3rd,5th)

losing day but had some fun

MP33 · November 2013

Hi easy

I was going to comment on some earlier hands and suggest you raise more with your premium hands (AA and KK) , but i see you did this time and it din,t pay off. At these levels where you seem to be getting more callers i,d probably start shoving with my premiums if i was confident of getting a call.

Always good to see someone happy even when there losing . Shows you,ve got good BRM

The A 7 i,d be betting the flop just to find out where i was and there are plenty of hands the oppo could be chasing a str8 or a flush with. If he flats and the turn is a brick for the draws i,d shove with the ace

The AQ - Good call. You got it all in - in front. Nothing you can do . Just unlucky

The K 5s - I quite like the shove but with 2 to act and at this level where your more likely to get callers i,d wait for a better spot

The KK - Would just shove as if there going to call that they,d probably call the shove as well

Theres a lot more players who can give better advice than me though especially in the poker clinic so if your really not sure about whether you,ve made the right decision i,d post it there along with any reads you,ve picked up on the other players as its such a big part of the game and what you should be basing a lot of your decisions on

GL with rest of diary

K5s, standard spot, easy ship and unfortunate to run into a bigger K. The blinds can't call very often which is why we should be moving in here with actually quite a decent hand.

Ditto for AQ, far too strong a hand blind on blind to consider folding without specific reads.

KK - it's difficult to criticise the pre flop play as you got someone to call you with A10 in a vastly inflated pot. All I would say is that better villains should realise just how strong that raise is out of that stack after all that action. I would probably just shove pre to disguise the strength of my hand. As played, we should NOT be shoving that flop; we only get called when behind. It's frustrating when we have KK and the A falls but with 2 oppo's it's highly likely that A has hit one of them.

A7 - Unless I knew SB would sometimes just call with premium hands, I probably go all in pre and fully expect to win the pot uncontested.

Just seen that these are S n G hands, not a format of the game I play really so perhaps take the above with a bag of salt!

What happened easyhoney? Are you still playing?
