    Default Ragnar4's Stake accountability thread

    735 hands deep, and down roughly a buy-in.

    Which is... a GOOD thing believe it or not. In my first 200 or so hands, I ran into a player who I thought was pure dog-poop, and I tried to run-over him, and he kept binking me with long-shot draws, and I was getting tilty. I was down 2.5 buy ins really fast.

    The last 500 hands have been quiet, but a lot like riding a bike. In fact I was back to even last night but ran into a set-over set scenario and walked away after I lost. Players are way too loose, call too often, unthinking, and several are floatable with just about any 2 because they don't understand how to play past the flop.

    I'll comb through my hands on PT4 and find notable hands.... but I feel like most of it has been pretty standard. Only 1 or 2 hands had me wondering exactly WTF I was going to do.

    Looks like I'm playing 30/20 right now... I need to bring it to about a 30/25, I think. I'll also work through hands on Poker-Stove and re-think my ranges. With only 700 hands, It's possible I'm running hot, because I'm really not out of line too often at all.

    Also Supa: PM me your Skype name, or perhaps your Cell number if you want me to text you, or fire you a PM on skype when I sit down to play. If you want to rail me.

    I've very quietly Sunk my head into books, and read as much as I can over the last few weeks I've played another 1000 or so hands, and haven't hemmoraged any money.. so I'd say that's the case.

    I honestly thought that it would be like riding a bicycle, but it's not.

    Another 750 hands, up .50 cents! yaaay!

    It's all coming back to me. It took me a long time to remember just how patient you had to be playing this goofy game.

    I do have a few hands that are worthy of being posted pretty much everything up to now I feel has been pretty standard... I plan on getting some of them posted tonight.
