I read it DS, good stuff. I don't know yet how much of it I can apply at 25nl FR and in my own game, time will tell I guess. It's more a general guideline anyway.

Like I said in March results/April goals thread I'm staying (or rather going back) to 25nl Fr and grinding that sucker out. I need to seriously keep my game basic, not-beserko aggressive and showdown orientated like this past week.

I know I can do it, look at me soar cause I'm gonna get there !

It's been April for about 12 hours here already and I'm up a couple of bucks at 2NL. Will have to make a point of checking back in on this thread this month

one bad play cost me vs a shorty in that session I stacked QQ on K high board and he had KJ.

Oh well I will learn from my mistakes, felt abit more nervy at 50nl tonight hopefully I will settle down.

Also not looking at my cashier/session results for this week to control tilt in my first 50NL experiences

Depending on how much went in preflop and just how short he was, stacking there can be pretty standard.

Are you familiar with using SPR to make this type of flop decision?

I was very absent from the micro grinder's thread last month, and am ashamed. I was way overloaded with school and experimented with HU when it came to poker. Luckily, things are going well in the real world, and I showed a profit in poker. I am going to make it one of my April goals to make this thread the one I spend the most time in and contribute to the most.

Instead of "Let's run good", how about...Let's play solid poker.

It seems like the contributors to this thread (and the big, massive one for the last 2 months micro thread) are completely by passing this absolute golden post by DSV. If you guys wanna improve your game a ton, then give the 2 threads he has put time and effort into some love. Start discussing them with him, I mean after all thats what these threads were meant to encourage, discussion of topics to improve your games.

I mean all you guys just seem to be playing atm and not doing any study and discussion, which at your level's is a big leak. So sort yourselves ouot and start contributing in a manner that this thread was intended for, and stop posting so much crap 'omg i run goot/crap/meh!'

/end rant :p

Yeah I think about a $9 pot and he had about $8 left behind him so maybe it was pretty standard.

Also no what is the SPR WV?

As dsvw56 said, it's a concept I first saw in PNL (read it). And it's the ratio of the smallest remaining stack (in your example $8) to the size of the preflop pot (in your example $9). With a SPR < 2 you'd probably be making a mistake folding with a single overcard (especially since it was a King not an Ace). In your hand the SPR was less than 1, so folding postflop should really never cross your mind.

Here is an old thread on the basics: https://www.cardschat.com/forum/cash-games-11/spr-anyone-115049/
