Greetings! I have been a lurker in here for about 3 months, so this is my "coming out of the closet" post.
I got hooked on Beanfacedkilla's cash game thread in the last few weeks. Very honest take on the joys and dream-crushing defeats of poker. Loved his positive attitude on the game or his honest feelings when the game got him down. Props sir. Learned some good lessons.
For example, reading the table climate or individual players. I want to get better at exploitative play (I actually am OK at it already).because I think this is the way to beat 1-2 NLHE. Also, just like Bean hates Saturday's, I shy away from Sunday afternoons, lol. The casino is full of good regs at that time or very conservative old guys, not easy to make any money.
Anyway, wanted to ask a question about bankroll and analyze a hand for me. Note: I understand there is a place for this but maybe a rookie exception?
Bankroll: I have $4200 right now (after losing $200 ON SUNDAY ). I have $250 a month going into this account. So far, i'm a winning player (only lose really when I cant get away from AA or KK). I play only once a week for around 5-7 hours.
So... if I make good judgement about my hands, rebuys, and table selection is there anyway I could lose this bankroll at 1-2 NLHE?
Hand:
Someone in EP raises to $7. Many callers for this price. I get KK in middle position. I raise to $20. I get 5 callers! The flop comes down: A 8 4 rainbow. Guy in EP goes all in for $57. I call, everyone else folds except SB. Long story short: Winner had A7o and takes pot.
So.... with what i have learned about pot odds and two more cards would you have called the $57 knowing that most 1-2 never ever fold an A preflop? It was like a 4-1 call it think. Before the other caller, it was $57 more to win $160 BUT he most likely had an Ace, could you lay that down?
Anyway, look forward to having some enlightening discussions and learning bunches.
