Rush = Crack.

Sounds like you guys need an intervention.

Yeah, Full Tilt's gonna have to open up a rehab next to it's academy.

I'll get help when the games die but for now let me enjoy the high.

People fold too much in rush, Most of my money is coming outside of showdown and most of that is coming from double barrels. Do not mean to sound cocky but I am winning every pot that I want to contest in.

Was wondering about that for PLO - same for NLHE. There's an occasional slowplay or suckout, but double barreling was insanely cool...

Default line every hand :

1) Open raise / 3bet
2) Bet flop
3) Bet turn
4) ?????
5) Profit

 

[slycbnew]

Also, open raise against any single limper in any position from any position w at least top 40% of hands, any two limpers in any positions from any positions w at least top 20% of hands, follow default line...

Seriously couldn't believe what people are limp/calling w utg...

Today I saw someone limp QQQx (utg), called my raise (bb) then on an AKx flop called a 3/4 pot bet and checked back both turn and river.

Been rebuilding after cashing out most of my roll.
After 10 days of 10nl i was ready to take a 25nl shot, didnt go well, couldnt win at showdown.

You're supposed to make the colors all blend together so it looks good. But really, how do you play so aggressive and not have sick variance? My lines go all over the place.

 

[WVHillbilly]

You're playing Rush. That shit's hyper variance. Actually once upon a time I used to be able to win both at SD and NSD like that.

My 25nl graph:



As I moved up to 50nl my blue line dropped to basically zero. At 100nl it's very negative overall. Of course I'm still a small loser overall at 100nl but I'm getting close to BE for the level.

My new goal is to win $1,444 at 25NL.

 

[WVHillbilly]

lol

Note that it "only" took me 3+ months to play 50K hands. I actually started at FTP at 25nl and playing 4 tables so I was a little slow with the volume.

Do you attribute that to players being more and more TAG the higher you move up in levels?

 

[Wes747]

I've actually played almost 57k hands this month, but my 50NL graph is painful to look at. I took a break from poker from June '09 to Feb '10, and then jumped right back into 50NL. Big mistake. If you add up rakeback, bonuses, and my winnings at 25NL I'm about even. CURSE YOU 50NL!!!

Honestly I think it's that they read hands a little better (not saying they're even good at it just a little better) so they see some of the super aggro lines for what they are and call a little lighter. For as many calling stations as there are at the micro stakes, you'd be surprised how few of them are willing to call 3 barrels with less than 2 pair+. So they call 2 streets, build a big pot, and then fold. So very nice of them.

I also think I got a bit too aggressive near the end of my 50nl sample and just tried to win every pot I played. This is obviously not a good thing. I've recently started toning it down a bit (yes the 1st graph I posted is me toning it down) and believe it or not taking some more SD lines.

 

[KerouacsDog]

how do u call the shove with AQ? lolssss i like this one too

I was up $5 on that table, so was willing to call with AQ/AK, which I dont always do, and I had a few reads on villain.

bold is a major leak of my lag game, thinking I can win every hand I enter.

That's giving money away.

you're so right, wait.............., I won, ah, so it worked THAT TIME, doesnt mean I call it every time.

 

[thepokerkid123]

you're so right, wait.............., I won, ah, so it worked THAT TIME, doesnt mean I call it every time.

You put $4.25 into a $6.50 pot against a range that you've got say 33%-36% equity against. You've got an EV of $3.50-$3.80.

Yes, if you get lucky then you've made money but the decision itself is gifting your opponent 40-70c. - This is before rake, which makes it considerably more costly.

What cards come and what they actually have doesn't matter, since it's beyond your control.

 

[LuckyChippy]

you're so right, wait.............., I won, ah, so it worked THAT TIME, doesnt mean I call it every time.

That's such bad logic, but I dunno what to say for fear of a KD melt down.

I know you enjoy playing your game and I have no problems with that (we've all heard your story), but it was bad, admit it. Admit it was bad and that you don't care, don't act like it was the right play cause you're giving out false information tbh.

EDIT: Oh, and what was you're read? That he was weak and AQ beats his range/hand? It doesn't beat his range and it doesn't beat QQ as far as I can tell.
