Ramble On

Howdy there internets. How's it going?

Nothing too exciting going on in the land of the PokerFool. I haven't played many tournaments lately, and I am pretty much break even in the cash games since my last post. Actually, I am still right around even for the whole month.

I guess the most exciting poker news is that I am part of a coaching tree over at bet-the-pot. I'm coaching someone who just moved up to the 100NL games, and a very good regular at the 400NL Full Tilt games is coaching me. I've had one session of each, and I have to say, it has gone really well. We use a combination of Skype and Mikogo to chat over the internet and view each others desktop while one plays.

My coach has given me some really good advice so far in the one session we have had together, and I have started to really open up my game. The first two sessions since, I am running around 24/20 or so, and am up a couple buy-ins. I think I am still running bad, but I am playing some pretty good poker.

I do plan on puting in a decent amount of hands tonight to go along with the Mookie.

Here is a Sweet Hand of the Day for you.

Best Day Ever!!

Well, I obviously didn't win any tournaments on Wednesday night since I didn't post on Thursday. I played a total of 8 tournaments, and cashed in 3 of them (Including the Mookie). They were all baby cashes, with the best one only doubling my buy-in (The Stars $25+2.50). I was either knocked out by Aces (QQ vs AA, AK vs AA, etc...) or my dominating hand got rivered.

I had a decent stack in the Full Tilt 50/50. Then I lost half my stack with AK vs KJ all-in PF to a river jack, and then a half an hour later I lost AT vs KT all-in PF. I cashed in Pokerstars $3 rebuy. We were just in the money and some guy limps from EP. I push my 9 Big Blinds in with ATs and the limper insta-calls with KJo and wins. KJo is an insta-call for 8 big blinds deep in a tournament? That's news to me. I had a real nice stack in that PokerStars $25 tournament. I had about an average stack with about 150 left and lost half of it when I lost 99 vs J8 all-in PF (Dude pushed his J8s all-in with no fold equity after I had already raised PF). Then I busted with K8s vs J9o in a blind vs bond confrontation. Yippee for tournaments, ha!

******************************

Cash game play had been pretty brutal up until yesterday. After about 8000 hands, I was actually down for the month. Saturday I dropped $500, with the biggest hand being 190 BBs deep. I saw a free flop with 73o in the BB and flopped the full house on a 733 two diamond flop. I bet and got called by the donk who was UTG. Turn was an Ace. I bet and got called again. River was the Jack of diamonds. I bet, he raised, and I pushed (thinking he probably hit his flush), and he turned over JJ. Against a player with half a brain, I just call his river raise, but against this idiot, he'd play a flush the same way so I pushed. Uggg

But yesterday was the complete opposite. I had my best day ever, winning just over $1,200!

Here is Today's Sweet Hand of the Day

Button is a Slightly LAG guy running about 23/20 or so. I think he is getting really pissed off at me because I am getting hit in the face with the deck. I've 3-bet a few times the last couple orbits. One or two hands earlier I called his raise with 56s. Flop was 422 with two of my suit. He check/called my bet. Turn was 3 of clubs giving me the straight flush. He called my big turn bet. River was an Ace, and he took up all of his time bank before folding to my river bet. I showed my straight flush.

The BB is a short stack donk, and I'm not worried about what he has. I'm really surprised that the button called my 4-bet shove with 99. Oh well.

**********************

And here is the Sour Hand of the Day.

I'm not really sure what I should have done Pre-flop here with a bet, then a 3-bet before it even gets to me when I have QQ. 4-bet? I decided to just call. Flop is all unders and villain checks behind. Then turn is another low card and I lead out and he calls. I suppose I can be pretty certain that he has JJ, KK or AA here. What do you think?

Lots-O-Poker

Lots of poker this weekend. Played in a home game, got in 2400 hands on the cash tables, and played in tournaments on Sunday night.

The weekend started off with a home game over at OhCaptain's house on Friday night. He had a whopping 26 people throwing in $10 each all cramming in his basement. One exciting thing about this home game, was that my wife played, which was her first ever poker tournament. I was a little worried that she wouldn't have fun, but I actually think she enjoyed herself. It was nice that I was seated at her starting table, along with another person we both know. She even limp/re-raised all-in with pocket Aces! And got called! And flopped a set! Nice hand! But in the end, she busted out around 23rd place or so. her next poker lesson will be that it is ok to raise post flop too.

I didn't fair much better, going out in 21st place or so. No exciting hands for me to report. I got AK once and pushed when I only had 5 BBs. I lost most of my chips pushing with Q9s with 7 BBs and getting called by KQ.

Go on over to OhCaptain's blog for a bigger recap. Good times!

*****************************

Cash games were down, then up for the weekend. Saturday was terrible, but I made most of it back on Sunday. Here is the graph.

Saturday saw two more of my sets go down in flames. i went back and looked at my February database, and from Feb 1st until Saturday, I flopped a total of 52 sets. 11 of those went down in flames. Can you believe that? Flopping sets is where you make the most of your money, and over 20% of mine went down in flames. I'd guess that the average is only 5%. ridiculous.

*****************************

I played in a few tournaments on Sunday night, including the Blogger Big game. I built up my stack by hitting some monster hands. I flopped a set of Kings and doubled up against some unknown crappy player. Won another nice pot with pocket aces and another flopped set versus lucko in a 3-bet pot (He didn't continue after the flop though). I got it all in against Jordan with my KK vs his AA and I flopped another set. I was in the top 10 for a while. Then I got moved to the super donkey agro table. I started at this table with about 19,000 in chips at the 200/400/50 level. Went complete card dead for about 4 orbits, but kept my stack when it was folded to my BB a few times. I was still in the top 10 I think. Then within 12 hands I was out.

- Blinds 300/600/75: I have 17k and raise K9o to 1800. Bone_Daddy pushes for 9.5K and I fold. I almost called because it smelled like a resteal. I would have been right cause he had 98o.
- 2 hands later I have 15k and raise 44 from LP. garthmeister pushed from the SB for 8.5k total. I fold.
- 3 hands later I have 13k and raise TT from EP. garthmeister again pushed from LP for 11k total. I folded (Mistake?)
- 5 hands later with blinds at 400/800/100, and I have 9k. Folds to me in the CO and I raise with K9o. chitwood on the button pushes ( I barely have him covered). I fold. I probably had odds to call this one. meh.
- Next hand I am down to 6k, which is good for an M of 3. I push from MP with T9o. Shabazz Jenkins (who has 8k in his stack), who've I've never heard of before, calls with.......... the powerful 33, and I can't win the coinflip.

That's right folks. I got knocked out of the big game because someone called an all-in with pocket 3's. That's a winning play right there folks!!! <---- sarcasm)

I palyed few more tournaments, including the 50/50's at Full Tilt and Stars. I couldn't get anything going in the full tilt one and lost to a rivered Ace high flush (him holding AKo) to my turned King high flush ( I had KQs). Then the stars one, I limp-reraised all-in from UTG (which is usually a strong play) with TT. I got called by A9o and obviously lost.

I barely cashed for $10 profit in the $24 26k guaranteed. I had about an average stack and 16 total BBs left in my stack. Some idot raise from MP and I push for 16 BBs with AQ. He calls with 88. Flop has two Queens, but he 4-flushes me by the river. Yipee!

*****************************

Here is Today's Sweet Hand of the Day.

Here is a nice min-raise bluff by me against a LAG. I had a note on this guy that he has been caught floating before. So I represented that I had AA and min-4-bet the turn. Pretty nice, huh? I was proud of this one.

And Today's Sour Hand of the Day.

This table was crazy with three mega donks. Two of the agro kind, and one calling station kind. At least 4 people saw every flop, so I decide to limp with my suited connector. I flop a pair plus a gutshot plus a flush draw. The donkey pushes and I call and miss my 17 outs twice. I'm 60/40 there versus an overpair, and he probably does this with any two cards the way he had been playing. I probably could of folded since I didn’t have anything invested in the pot. But I like monster draws.

Tournaments Are Fun

You know what? I really enjoy playing in poker tournaments. I'm not really sure why though. I've never had a big score in them. And I know for a fact that I down a lot of money from playing tournaments. But damn, they are fun.

This past Monday turned out to be my big tournament night for the week. And I fired up a lot of them. Probably too many, but that is ok. I played in:

- Full Tilt's $10+2 Daily Double A
- Full Tilt's $10+2 Daily Double B
- PokerStars $50+5, 55k guaranteed
- Full Tilt's $50+5, 50k guaranteed
- Full Tilt's $24+2, 28k guaranteed
- PokerStars $15+1.50
- Monday's at the Hoy ($24+2)
- BoDog $20+2

I cashed in one of them, the Daily Double B for a whopping profit of $10.42. Pretty nice, huh? I got pretty far in a few of them, but just wasn't quite lucky enough. I had a nice stack in the 28k, but KK can't beat AK, and then AK can't beat A6 in back to back hands.

I had the chip lead in the Daily Double B for a while. I was crushing the competition. The money bubble finally burst, and I was still in the top 10. Then this hand happened. I win this, and I have the chip lead again with about 150 people left.

The I got moved to another table 10 minutes later where the very bad chip leader was at. He had twice as much as 2nd place at this point, and he was playing every hand. EVERY single hand. I saw him call all-in's with K6, QJ, etc... My bust out hand went like this. A short stack who had 1/3 of what I had open pushes. I find QQ and push my average chip stack in. Chip Leader donk calls. Short Stack had AA. Chip Leader donk has KJ. Quess who won.

Oh well, one of these days I'll get a tournament win.

******************************

Cash games have been pretty good this past week. I haven't played much, but my quick sessions have been pretty good. I attribute that to being able to actually win a few coin flips. I'm running at about 3 ptBB/100 at the 200NL level, and 7 ptBB/100 at the 100NL, which is pretty respectible.

Here is today's Sweet Hand of the Day.

Villain was running about 33/11 after about 50 hands or so.

**********************************

Here is the Sour Hand of the Day.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this hand. The SB was a donk, running at 51/16. So I have an overpair on the flop, the SB checks, and the donk BB leads out. I raise, which is pretty standard to do on a donk lead. Then the SB cold calls my 3-bet, and the BB obviously folds. The only draw on the flop is either 76 or JT. The turn is a blank 3, which can't possibly help his hand. Now that I think about it, I probably should just check behind there and keep the pot small. I'm either ahead (with him having anywhere from 5-8 outs), or I am way behind. What do you think? The river bet was so small, I had to call and see what he had.

You Can Call Me The Gutshot Fool

Because if you have a gutshot, your hand is good!!

Not too much poker this last week. From last Monday until today, I have only played 850 hands, which is only 2-3 hours worth. In that time, I am down a good $500, so that sucks monkey balls. I've had so many of my flopped sets go down in flames this month, it's not even funny. It has to be at least 25% of them. Unbelievable.

Here are today's Sweet and Sour hands of the Day!

Sweet Hand of the Day

.......... ummmm, I got nothing. Biggest pot I've won this past week is probably a typical raise PF, and win with a continuation bet.

Sour Hands of the Day.

So ya, raising with T4s is probably not smart. But I had been at the table for 2 orbits and hadn;t played a hand yet. You gotta start stealing the blinds in these position or you are never gonna get any action. So the donk in the SB basically min-3-bets. He was running at about 45/10. When a donk min-3-bets PF, it is almost always a huge hand like AA or KK. So I obviously call cause if I hit the flop, they never can fold AA. The flop is a monster flop for me with a pair and a flush draw. Of course he doesn't have AA or KK, but A8s. Awesome set up full tilt. Thanks

We went on a mini-vacation this weekend, and when we got back, my internet connection has been really really slow. Not sure what happened, but this morning it was fine. But then during lunch today, it was back to being really really slow. I want to play some poker tonight and play in Monday's at the Hoy, so hopefully my connection is better when I get home.

What is even more strange, is that I can still find some Call of Duty 4 servers that are just fine and in the 80 ms ping range. Where as my usual COD 4 servers are in the 400-500 ms ping range. Plus, Full Tilt is acting really really slow. WTF? That is leading me to think there are some major internet issues out there in the country/world, and not on my end. Why would some COD4 servers be just fine, and other be total crap?

*************************************

And finally, Activision announced that they are releasing a new Guitar Hero game this summer: Guitar Hero: Aerosmith!!! Being a huge fan of Aerosmith, I am really pumped for this. Woot!!

Cheers!!

BOOM then DOOM

Man, what a wild and wacky poker weekend. I was fortunate enough to find a couple mega donks on Saturday morning. One guy was running 90/54 and the other was at 60/8. And they were on the same table. And what was even better, was that the 92/55 guy played two tables and would move around a lot. So I was able to follow him around and take a lot of his money.


Too bad the rest of the weekend was crap. I couldn't win a coin flip to save my life. Throw in a couple coolers, and I only ended the weekend up $200. Yikes. I'll take that kind of downswing any time though.



Yep, that's right. I ended my saturday morning session up $1350. I should have listened to my wife and not play anymore for the weekend, lol.

The sweet hand of the day is the huge spike at hand 650. This was at 200NL, and it is my biggest pot ever. A $1000 pot where I profitted $700! WOW! I'm just gonna post the exact hand history. Seat 2 (Aske6pot) was donk #1 running at 60/8. Seat 5 in the SB was JBPresident, who was MegaDonk #2 running at 90/54. The button was just a regular TAG.

I could post a whole lot of Sour Hands of the Day, but I'm gonna skip it for now. The worst one was me flopping top two vs a regular and him having the only hand that I'm worried about, bottom set. Oh well, I'm still doing awesome for the month of February.

No Mookie for me tonight as I am heading up to the Cities to see Linkin Park play. This is the one concert me and my buddy Josh have been looking forward to for a long time. We have awesome seats, so it should be a blast.

Pocket 6's is the nuts

That was a pretty exciting Superbowl yesterday. At the beginning of the game, I really didn't care who won. I was just hoping for a good, close game. I wouldn't have minded New England winning because I've always been a Randy Moss fan, and it would have been nice to see him with a ring. And I also wouldn't have minded New York winning because then us Vikings fans could say that our team destoyed the Super Bowl champs. But as I was watching the game, I started rooting more for the Giants. I guess I just like rooting for the underdog. I've got a pretty short attention span, and I very rarely can watch a whole football game from beginning to end without either doing something else, or flipping constantly between shows. But the game yesterday was good from beginning to end, so it was an easy one to get into.

Poker was pretty good this weekend. I'm up a decent amount so far this month. I made just over $800 on Sunday, so that was really nice. I've even ran into quite a few coolers too, but I'm still up, so I can't complain. Three of my sets this month have gone down in flames. One to set-over-set, and the other two to straights. WTF?

Like I said a few posts ago, I was going to try and play some more cash game hands over at PokerStars. I did that, but I don't think I'll be putting in too many more hands there. It is just more difficult to find the fish and stay away from the regulars without being able to datamine. Add into that the 27% rakeback, and I think it makes the decision easier to make.

And the Sour Hand of the Day

This happened last wednesday night. SB was the fish at the table. The BB is a regular 2+2 LAG (Loose Aggressive) player with stats around 26/22 or so. I knew that he could be squeezing really light, especially with the fish between us. Not sure what the heck he is doing with AJ there. Does he think I am going to fold after 4-betting? His play is so terrible, but of course he gets rewarded by winning the 72/28. I'm pretty sure this is my biggest losing pot ever. If I win this hand, I have my first ever $1000 day. Boooooo

*******************************

I also have to mention one other hand played last Wednesday. In this hand, I witnessed one of the worst poker plays I have ever seen (and of course they got rewarded). It was at the final table of a FTOPS #1 sattelite. Top 4 got $215 seats, and there were 9 left. I had just below average chip stack, with about 12 Big Blinds or so (but only about an M of 5.5). I find AK in early poistion, and I push. I don't like to mess around with AK with an M that low. I like to see zero cards or all five cards. I get called by a bigger stack in late position. The SB also calls. I had the SB just barely covered. The Late Position guy had KJ. The SB had 66. So that means that the SB calls off his whole stack (about 10 BBs worth) after two people have already gone all-in with 66. Obvisouly a 6 came on the flop and he tripled up. And then to rub it in even more, he knocked me out on the next hand with my QQ <>

So that's the kind of poeple that will be playing in FTOPS #1? I am seriously considering buying directly into FTOPS #1 on wednesday night. I'm due for a nice tournament score, so mayeb it can happen on Wednesday.

Coming up tomorrow, I'll review January.

Cheers!

Tilt!

I admit to being on tilt for the past couple weeks (Heck, maybe months!). Why wouldn't I play poker if I had some good quality poker time available to me? Why would I rather play Call of Duty, or Guitar Hero? Why would I sit down and actually play, and then 15 minutes later log off? The answer is: tilt.

I would describe my tilt as being "Goddamn I run so frickin bad" tilt. It's the kind of tilt that makes you think you have the worst luck in the world. And I think I finally found the source of this tilt: PokerEV. PokerEV is a graphing program that gives you a nice little graph that shows how much actual money you have made, and how much you should have made. I've posted many PokerEV graphs here. And the bad thing that it does to you, is that it turns you into a results-oriented poker player. I mean it's right there in front of you! See! SEE!!! Look how bad I run! One time dealer! ONE TIME!!!

And what is the one of the main pieces of advice you always hear in order to become a better poker player? Don't be results orientated! Just concentrate on making the correct plays and the correct reads, and everything will turn out good. So that is what I am going to do. Also, I am never going to use PokerEV again.

Things have gone ok the past week or so. I moved back down to 100NL to get my head back on straight. I've also experimented with 9-tabling. Yep, that's right. NINE! This also forces me to be a little bit tighter, which I think is good for me right now. Plus, I can crank out that FT Bonus for this month. I'm looking forward to the month being done and this Full Tilt Bonus thing being over with. I want to try playing more over at PokerStars starting in February. I think I have become to dependant on PAHud and all the stats it gives you. And since I you can't datamine at Stars, and I don't have many hands over there, it will be like a clean slate over there. I will have to play good/solid poker, and go with reads other than the stats PAHud shows.

**************************

I played in a home game this past weekend with 15 other people. The set-up and structure was pretty nice with 30 minute blinds and rebuys in the first two hours. Unfortunately, I busted out in 12th place or something like that. Best hand of the day was JJ and AK once. Best hand I had after the flop was top two pair (That lost to AA when the board paired on the river). You gotta get dealt cards in these types of games to go very far. People are calling stations and they think any two face cards are gold. I went out with KT vs QJ. The QJ guy limped in EP and I pushed in LP for 11 big blinds. So the dude called off almost half his stack with QJ. Standard fare for home games though.

***************************

Here is today's Sweet Hand Of The Day.

A case could be made to just flat calling the BB's 4-bet on the flop. But I think that a call may look a little stronger than a push. Plus, if he has a Pocket pair of 88-QQ, an overcard may kill my action.

And the Sour Hand of the Day

This is the only hand of poker I played on Sunday. I sat down and planned on getting in a good hour or so while the kids napped. I obviously made some mistakes in this hand. I should have raised that flop for sure. And once the board paired on the river, I think a check/call is better than check raise. But I guess I went with my [wrong] read that he probably had the Ah. Oops.

December 2007 Results

I figured I better make a review post for December, so here it is. I didn't play that much again. Only 11,000 hands (Which is the same amount that EurekaKid did in one day!!! Yikes!). I'm still having trouble getting motivated to play poker. I guess I am going through a phase were it isn't that fun right now. I'm sick of the bad beats and running bad. If I'm playing, and feel like I may start going on tilt, I log off and frag some fools in Call of Duty 4. I guess that is better than continuing to play on tilt and losing money, right?

When you know what you are doing, and play a lot of hands against donks, you end up getting your money in when you are ahead. If I get my money in when I am ahead nine out of ten times, that means they have nine opportunities to suckout to my one time. Obviously that is how I want it, but it is a mental thing I need to work on. When I am in a big pot and I am a favorite to win, and I do win, I think to myself, "Well, I should have win that anyways". But if I lose I say, "Dammit, I should have won that one!!". Not sure how to solve this problem.

Another bad thing about me not wanting to play much poker right now, is that Full Tilt's Year End bonus is going on right now. I have almost $600 in bonus money that I can clear this month, but I have only gotten through a third of it. That right there should give me motivation, but it's not. I have started to play a lot more Omaha the past week. That is starting to put the fun back into playing poker. And playing Omaha makes me play a lot more focused. Since I don't have PokerTracker Omaha, I have to pay more attention to reads and position, and can't rely on those PA HUD stats I am so used to at Hold 'Em.

Here are my results for December.

In addition to this, I lost about $250 playing MTTs/SNGs, and made $476 in rakeback. So I made about $800 total. Meh.

*********************************

I had to really look hard to find a Sweet Hand of the Day. Here ya go.

First hand at this table. Nice little gift, huh? Pretty sad that this is the best hand I could find for the past week?

The Sour Hand of the Day.

I played this hand pretty bad. I probably should have continuation bet that flop with my flush draw. But I decided to take the free card in position. I probably should have folded on the turn, but with MP calling that bet also, I thought that I might have some decent implied odds. And then they check to me on the river. I didn't have too many hands on the SB, but he had never check-raised on the river, so I thought it was an ok spot to bluff. His check-raise push is really strange there. Whatever. I'm sure I logged off after this hand and played some COD 4.

Maybe I Should Start Playing More PLO?

I played a ton of tournaments last night, including the Blogger Skillz Series tournament, which was Pot Limit Omaha. This was only my 2nd PLO tournament, and I am proud to say I am 2 for 2 in making final tables in them. Unfortunately, I was the bubble boy last night, going out in 7th place. I was a short stack for the last half of the tournie, and with it down to 7 people, I tried to steal the blinds with a crappy hand from the button. The BB called, but I flopped bottom two pair, so I pushed my remaining stack in and got called by top pair. My opponent rivered one of their kickers to send me to the rail with a higher two pair. Bottom two pair after the flop in Omaha is just slightly ahead of top pair, so it wasn't a bad beat in my book.

The other tournaments didn't fair to well, and I didn't cash in any of them. I kept track of all of my all-in hands, and I have to say, it was pretty much the un-luckiest I have ever been. Out of those tournaments, I was all-in 16 times. Only one time did all my money get in as an underdog, and lost (77 vs AA), Got it in as a coinflip five times, and lost four of them. I got it all-in as a favorite ten times, and lost seven of them. Those hands:

• AK can't beat A8 on a Ace high flop. Turn and River were 8's.
• KK can't beat AQ All-in Pre-Flop. Ace on river.
• AK can't beat KJ on a AKT flop. Queen on river.
• AK can't beat A7 on AQJ. 7 on river.
• 77 can't beat 55 All-in Pre-Flop. 5 on turn.
• AJ can't beat QJ All-in Pre-Flop.
• AQ can't beat KQ All-in Pre-Flop. King on river.

Tournaments are still pretty fun for me, but I don't ever expect to make money off of them. In order to win tournaments, you have to be super lucky. I'd say tournaments are 10% skill, and 90% luck. Oh well, I ended up around even for the night when you factor in the cash games I was playing.

*******************

Here is a hand from last night that seems to be pretty common situation, and I want your opinion on it.

Villain is a donk with 3/4 of a stack to begin with. I flop two pair on a two diamond board. Villain calls my c-bet, and the third diamond comes on the turn, and he leads into me. Is this an easy fold? Or is it closer than I think?

What do you people think of my flat call of the 3-bet Pre-flop? Villain was TAG with stats of 18/15. I think that my implied odds are there to set mine, especially with me in position. Plus, my nines could easily be ahead there. Do you like a raise on the flop?

Hello 2008!

2008 is upon us, and it's time for me to get back into the swing of things.

I just started a new job at the beginning of the year, so I was able to take some time off during the holidays while I was between jobs. It was nice not having to go into work for almost two weeks straight. My new job is vastly different than my old job. My old job was as a Hardware Engineer and it was interesting, but it was really slow. Which actually, was fine with me. I would come in late, take a long lunch, and leave early. If I needed to drop off or pick up my daughter at pre-school, it was no problem. But my career was going nowhere. And the job security was terrible.

And here I am at my new job as a Software Quality Engineer. It has the potential of being interesting, but I haven't seen it yet. I already find myself staring at the clock, wishing it would move faster. Granted, I haven't been given any projects yet, so maybe that will change. I'm trying to remain optimistic.

*******************************

As far as poker goes, 2007 was another decent year for a casual poker player. I think I averaged around a grand a month, so that's not bad. Of course, that was how 2006 was too. But 2006 had a higher percentage of profit coming from bonuses. 2007 I made a decent chunk of change from the actual poker tables. So that must mean I became a better poker player? Sweet!

Later this week, I'll put up my December results (It was good until the last day). But I'll first show some graphs of the last five months.

That's kind of a sad overall graph, isn't it? There is that huge upswing around Thanksgiving.

And here is the PokerEV graph. I'm a good $1,200 below expectation. Hopefully my blue line is higher than my red line for 2008.

********************************

I plan on posting more here (So tell your friends and link me up!), and one thing I am going to do is have a Sweet and Sour hand of the day.

So here is the inaugural Sweet Hand of the Day!


Full Tilt Poker, $1/$2 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players

BTN: $197
SB: $225.60

Turn: ($410.40) Ks (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

River: ($410.40) 8s (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $410.40 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed 4c 5h (a straight, Five high) and WON $407.40 (+$206.20 NET)
CO showed 9d 9c (a pair of Nines) and LOST (-$201.20 NET)

I go for a typical Squeeze play here. I hadn't been very active yet on this table, so I felt it was a good time to do this. The CO was a Slightly LAG (about 21/17) regular, and the button was a loose/passive donk. Of course I was hoping to just take it down pre-flop, but that flop was sweet. I bet just over half pot so that if the CO pushed, he would think it had some fold equity (If I bet closer to full pot, a push by him gives me 3:1 on the call, where as only betting 40 make his push a pot size push giving me only 2:1).

The BB was a mega-donk, running about 55/25. I think I could have gotten away from this hand, but this guy had been so agro, that it could have been AJ-AK too. A min-raise PF, then a min-raise then a push on the turn from anyone else, and it is easily AA. Oh well. I'll chalk it up to it being a cooler. That makes me feel better :)

I got a comment from reader Luger asking about bankrolls and when to move up. I'm a huge bankroll nit. I have almost 65 buy-ins in my online roll for the stakes I play. And I even play the stakes one lower too. If you look at conventional bankroll management, I have enough to play 400NL right now. I have started to take some shots there though.

But for the smaller stakes, I would say to go ahead and start taking shots at 15-20 buy-ins (so $750 for 50NL), and move up full time when you have 30 buy-ins. Also, you want to have yourself convinced that you can beat the 25NL stake before moving up. As far as quality of play from your opponents, I don't think there is much of a difference between 25NL and 50NL. You may start running into some good regular multi-tablers at 50NL, but they will be few and far between. Just stay away from those players. You'll be able to spot them pretty easily. There are still plenty of donks out there.

Good Luck!
