I think the analysts do a pretty good job most of the time. Sure theres times where i might disagree with what they say but its usually because they dont know the game dynamics as they only see hands in a vacuum, so they cant be blamed for that.
Just looking at it now ive played about 650 hrs since may of last year, im down overall on wednesdays in that time period. About 65% of my winnings come from fridays and saturdays. biggest winning session was about 20 buyins and biggest losing session was about 12. Average session is 2hrs26mins long.
Any idea why Fridays & Saturdays account for 65% of your profit?
i was trying to come uo with a name for my band so i was going through loads of different words that sounded cool but had no real meaning. I probably just read it somewhere online.
Spill!
Me and some friends drove the length of NZ in a car one time, we slept in the car a couple of times to save money, i started sleeping in the boot because there was more space to stretch out and it was comfier. Woke up one time to hear that the car was moving, was pretty p*ssed when they stopped the car and i had to climb out of the boot in the middle of a busy street in some town in my sleeping bag, got some funny looks.
At the moment im trrying to make better adjustments to 15 tabling, like its very easy to stop looking for spots to exploit obvious flaws in your opponents games when you constantly have other hands to get involved in on other tables.
Everyone plays the turn and river badly, the river the most though, even myself.
Rebuild />>>>>>>stake>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>quit.
ifi did take a stake it would probably just be a month long one or something, but i would much rather spend a month or two at the lower limits working on why i went broke and trying to fix those problems rather than taking a stake and having to give away half of what i make. Uusually if you need a stake to play a certain limit your just kidding yourself that youre actually good enough to play that limit. There are exceptions but not often.
Yes theres plenty of right times to show your cards. Say for example you take a certain line with your big hands which never gets paid off. If you start showing some bluffs there its gonna lead to you getting paid off when you have it more. Like if you only check raise the river with nut hands good players will always fold, start showing occassional bluffs there you suddenly become a lot harder to play against. Showing a bluff is always good if you think you will tilt your opponent aswell. Its obviously a bad idea to show a bluff if you want to keep taking that line with bluffs, or if it gives away too much information about what your range is in certain spots.
i have no idea, i will say though that i think theyre too messy to eat so dont bother with them.
What are you like in real life as you come across quite detached and mysterious here obv prefering to keep to yourself rather than making friends with the people you have to play against?
What's the longest relationship you have been in and are you looking for a relationship atm or happy being single?
You should pop in for a Wee Dram on me, open invite, directions, go to 'The Shed', look for Al's Bar......
......Now mi question...
.... What's Ya poison, & how do ya take it ?
Run Good
The Hitman
Fascinating well so far. Great to know more about you.
1) I've read the whole thread and I don't believe anyone has asked you yet if you play live Cash games at all? If not would you consider it?
2) This will sound a little weird but do you ever eat meals while you play?
3) Ever made an extravagant purchase after a particularly good session?
Edit just read hursto has put same thing
Im terrible for this and often go long stretches without playing. Especially after a particularly heavy weekend sometimes im just too hungover or cant be bothered playing til tuesday or wednesday or something. Each month i tell myself i wont take more than a couple of days of at a time but there always gaps of liek 5 days. Last year i would often take weeks off and took a whole month off in the summer. Ive become more motivated lately though and start to feel guilty or lazy once ive not played for a week or so. I think i will try and keep that as my limit for this year.
Just depends how im feeling. If ive already decided to grind then i probably wont change my mind unless im running particularly bad and just decide to instaquit and do something else. THeres been a lot of times where ive really wanted to play on Mastercash but have already agreed to do something else though or have people coming round so have to resist.
i dunno, cant really give any great in depth strategy but people dont really do the obvious stuff at 40 and 50nl. Like the regs play too rigidly. Theres so many bad players that you need to play as many pots with them as possible. Like if a fish raises from the CO and it folds to you in the BB you should imo call really wide there because you need to take any opportunity to play HU with the fish that you can. Like even though you may have been told dont call out of the blinds light, it obviously makes sense to call with T6s or 73s or something if you feel you have a significant edge over someone. Plus bad players play their hands face up most of the time. You can stack them eaiser when they have a big hand and they usually make it obvious when they have weaker hands they can be pushed off of. Valebuet people to death. Like tptk is the nuts. KQ on K78 is the nuts and you can easily check raise those flops get it in a lot vs weaker kings. Stop checking the turn as much as you probably do. Its not that big a deal if you valuetown yourself every now and again.
i ate a meal yesterday while playing, i can tell you its pretty hard to 12 table and eat spag bol. Need to restrict yourself to one mouthful at a time, play hands on all table until you have a free second, then eat another mouthful. I usually dont eat while palying but if im feeling hungry i eat fruit and nut mix. Why do you ask?
i tend to just buy stuff when i want it. I dont know what could be considered extravagant though, i bought an ipad last year and a new computer setup. At the end of last year i bought myself a £600 watch after a good year, Ive decided if i have a better year this year i will buy a better one.
