+++ August Cash Game Thread +++

[onemorechance]

I need to stop drinking and start playing. Getting way too lazy

 

[LuckyChippy]

Random Person: You shouldn't play poker, you'll get addicted and lose everything.

Poker Player: I actually don't play enough. I need to play more.

RP: Such a shame, already addicted. I can get you help?

PP: F UUUUUUUUUUUU!

[eNTy]

hello hedge to the hog
i notice u have me put in the group DO NOT WANT on aim yet again

 

[tenbob]

Goal is to play more than the 1800 or so hands I played in July.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

Goal is to enjoy small amounts of poker again.

 

[LuckyChippy]

I played some FT steps today for lols. Set aside some pennies to play 4 step 2 9/6 mans, but only played 2. Won a step 3 and a step 1, then won my step 1 for a step 2. Not bad. I think try and run up to a step 5 and play a big money tournament or an FTOP.

I hate donkaments, I should be grinding too.

This month is rusty for me.

FTP Running Shorthanded Happy Hour in August (round the clock)

Throughout August, you can earn your full tilt poker Points twice as fast when playing short-handed ring games.

Whenever you are playing on a 6-Max table with three or fewer players, or on a Full Ring table with four or fewer players, you'll earn double points.

This offer runs round-the-clock until the end of August.

 

[LuckyChippy]

Hmm, sounds good, for a second I thought you meant all 6-max games, they're sometimes referred to as short-handed. I would have loved that lol. Should be good though, an incentive to start some tables perhaps.

 

[LuckyChippy]

AK>KK for my step 3

 

[Jurn8]

Didn't play today which sucks, hoping to put a couple of big sessions in tomorrow. Really want to put some hands in this month, go for it for the first time while doing lots of studying.




I'm a 6-max spewtard but I have fairly nitty stats and I do for FR too. Is there a serious difference in playing levels between the two? I might be interested if it's worth it.

Good to see you back to winning ways and that you didn't give up over the past few shitty months you've had. Hope it continues.

between 6max and FR or between 25 and 50?

I think both levels are about the same a tad more 3betting at 50 but I have played a small amount of 100 this month and this seems to be where the games get more aggro and 3bet/4bet dynamics can be built.

If i made a vid would people watch/comment?

Sure but make sure you lay on a heavy Cockney accent. Wouldn't want my metal image of you to be ruined.

Start the vid off with a nice "Ello Guvnah" and I'm there!

Lmfao. I'm not certain, but I think his accent is pretty far from a cockney. I would definitely watch, yes I would. Please do this.

I meant between FR and 6-max though it's nice to know that moving up to 25nl and 50nl won't be impossible.

Doesn't matter what he actually sounds like as long as he conforms to the stereotype in my head and in my head all you English types the same.

Haha, we all have sterotypes guvna. I probably have 4 or 5 accents for the whole of America in my head

 

[Jurn8]

IMO 25 and 50 FR are so much easier for me, but maybe thats the way I play, I tend to be abit more passive postflop and maybe the skill of hand reading at 6max is higher with wider ranges than it is at FR.
people just like to fold at FR which is good coming from 6max IMO.

 

[LuckyChippy]

Ok, I understand ya. I always thought I was better at 6-max because I like to make people fold, but that's probably flawed thinking. Saying that I think the only game I'm a long term winner at is FR. Hmmm.

 

[Jurn8]

well i smashed FR went from 2nl - 25nl in a month then after 2 months went to 6max, won abit then like breakeven/marginal winner for 6months and then went to breakeven/marginal loser at the beginning of this year and switched back to FR in late June.

Im going to start recording in like 30 mins so hopefully get a good vid, 45 mins or so!

 

[Krayz]

Guy 3 bets you preflop with a fpip of 4% and raise of 2% (yes that low). Do you shove with QQ?

 

[pokerman27]

In.

6 hours a week Mon - Fri minimum and as much as poss at weekends for August!

That's the plan

 

[Pokertron3000]

Looking forward to the vid Jurn. No poker yet this month *shake shiver* hopefully starting tonight if life stays out the way.

I started playing 5NL full ring Rush Poker on July. Had a good start and was up 15 buy-ins. This month, I'm running horrible and I'm down 2 buy-ins so far(Was up 4 buy-ins then lost the profit and down 2 buy-ins). But I've only played 30k hands so far.

I quitted cash game last year November and came back last month. Still rusty with my game but hopefully adjust and fix it.
