FROM TOURNEYS TO CASH

Hi my name is Terrell a.k.a. Stretch. Currently playing at Black Chip Poker. I was grinding tourneys but just got sick of the variance and super long hours. Plus I realize I was winning more playing cash live and online. So I want to start a micro cash thread and post progress or failures I'm here to learn and I really don't have any peers with the same passion for poker as me. So I would love to use this forum to talk about hands and strategy. I would apprerciate any kind of feedback. Game started at: 2014/1/29 15:59:15

Anyone think I could have gotten more value by c/r turn?

If you're referring to the third post, I don't think you get any value from c/r turn. You fold out any other K, and get called by small FD/SD that have hit.

first hand: i cant read it cause of how it was posted.

KQ hand. Well played IMO.


good luck man. Ill keep an eye out on this thread to maybe help out in some spots if i can. Keep em coming.

Thanks for replying guys! How do you include the stats with the hand? How do you post graphs on the forum?

I didn't think he had the A but just in case played it cautiously< Was river a standard call?

Sorry for the way the hand as posted I just figured it out. check on f/t s suspect but I didn't wanna get c/r,s so I pot control.

Is the shove OTT to much or go for thin value?

Any scare card come OTR I'm barreling but it came blank, I knew he had a Q but I knew by the river he wasn't folding.

Protip, the turn was the scare card

So far it's going great at the cash tables over the last 4500 hands at 5nl I'm doing 15bb/100. I've instantly notice some leaks I think I can increase this rate by at least 50%. I'm only running 16/11, which I can't believe. I know for sure I need to 3b more Im doing 5%. So over this month will work on opening my range a bit and less hero calling.

You're I was thinking any A,K, diamond on the river. But I could have rep diamonds or the 8 on the turn.
