I would like to say THANKS!!!

I would like to say thanks to a few people on CC for just posting. QTipDTB, Wobble, and forsakenone for their responses and ramdeebam for starting the original thread. Reading the 3 responses in the thread really got me to reconsider how I approach cash games. I have never won much and have lost alot playing cash games. I have been one of those players that always thought that I was just destined to be a tourney player only. But since I read their posts on Thursday I have changed one thing that I do during a cash game. I RAISE MORE!!! It is very true that at $0.01/$0.02 cent tables that a $0.06 raise is NOTHING. Every donk at the table sees it as that...6 cents. They don't see 3x the bb. They don't care that you've only played 10% of hands and only from late position. They see 6 cents. Since Friday, when I started my new cash experiment, I am up $14.20 only playing 624 hands. I know that's not alot but it is exciting results to me. For a player that felt as if there was no hope(as far as cash game play is concerned), THIS IS HUGE! So THANKS!!!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

BTW...in an unopened pot, if I decide to raise, I raise at least 6x/bb. If the pot has been opened then I add a bb for every limper and I have been re-raising my premium hands around 3.5 to 4x the original raise. Seems to be helping me to thin the field and makes decisions a whole hell of a lot easier.

That is awesome, keep up the good work!
Congratulations.

Nice work man. Im happy for you.
What post are you talking about im kinda going through the same thing right now.

Here it is....I read the whole thing like I always do. I'm sooooo glad I did.

That sounds terrific and congrats!


This link doesn't work for me, though. Another pointer to the post?

You have to beat micro limits to advance and be a "good" player? Wrong in my opinion.


Try the link now...

I'm glad you've had good results so far, but keep in mind that you could just easily be down $14.20. Over that sample of hands your results really aren't anything significant, at least from a statistical standpoint. The rule of thumb is you really need ~50k hands for cash games to be able to draw any reasonable conclusions about your play.

So don't get TOO excited about your upswing-- or if you immediately hit a downswing after this, don't get too disappointed, it's just a regression to the mean.

Obv I hope your success continues, though.

Link works now. Thanks.

Congrats !!!! Keep it up

Yeah I'm aware that it may be just good luck...BUT I've never had a run like this(for the stakes) that I'm having now. NEVER! I would always win a little and lose a little. My cash game graphs always pointed down from left to right. I hope this is not a fluke. I really don't think it is though.

happy to have helped.

I am very glad you are having a good run. It's just that running at 113bb/100 is not sustainable. Sounds like you know that though, hopefully the graph will continue pointing up, albeit not at 113bb/100 (not trying to be negative or mean or anything, just realistic).

I've came back to earth a little since my last post. Yesterday evening I was playing in a situation where it was set over set. Guess who had the bottom end. Then today played a few hands badly so I'm down 5 bucks or so. Gonna keep grinding and reading and posting. Hopefully I will continue to do well. Thanks!
