Haha yes, that was me who raided you with a set of fours. If only I raised pre flop, huh? This is actually the main reason I don't like raising with small pairs... if I flop a set, I want others to...

Oh, this. Yes, you're right. This I will try not to do.

Can we stop with the aces? Don't limp with them, or open shove. It's fairly simple pre flop. I was talking crap. I probably still am. But enough with the shoving with aces. I get it. OP gets it. My...

He's just being a dick. I'm unpopular and he's jumping on the bandwagon, that's all. It's kinda nice to know I have that effect after just a month or two.[/quote]

He isnt just being a dick. The...

daeyeth, the last hand you posted demonstrates exactly why bankroll management is so important. Imagine if you took all your money onto this table and this happened... With proper bankroll...

Maybe you're right. I've been considering a buy in at 5nl to be $6, and I am aiming to have 40 buy ins at that level before I move up permanently, meaning I need $240. At 30 buy ins, this is where I...

Every time I step up for a session I get coolered. Flopped a set of queens yesterday at 5nl, board paired on the river with a king... I was up against KQ. I lost $6 on that one hand. A few hands...

you need more than 45 BBs to break even.[/quote]

Really? Let's explore...

Chances of flopping set with pp is around one in nine. So eight times we fold on the flop, losing 40 big blinds. One...

I don't think his roll management was so bad. I mean, he said he was dropping back down if he went below $50. Well, that's well enough left to fight back from 2nl. So while it might not be correct in...

I hear you. I've really tightened up utg, but it is hard to fold hands like QJs utg when you've not seen a decent hand in three orbits. And besides, while bad position usually sucks, it doesn't...

Yeah, fair enough. I guess I was trying to rep the pp to make hands like Ax fold.

I would rather be accurate, but the timer is ticking... 40c into $1.60 is exactly 4:1, so I estimated I was a little behind that, but only by a fraction. That's a second and a half of my time taken...

The pot at the turn is $1.24

He bets 46c.

$1.24 + 46 = $1.70

So I'm calling 46c into $1.70

It's nearly 4:1

Yes, again, you're right. I've drifted into general situations where you're faced with a decision with a flush draw on a paired board. Here there is no pair on the flop, we have top pair nut flush...

Button is 32/5 over 22 hands, so not much to go on. No notes.
I've been running at 25/11 over 65 hands at this table.

Yes, you're right, at the flop we don't know he has QQ. But when the board pairs, we should always take away one flush out for the purpose of calculating pot odds, even if you don't know which one it...

Sorry, the board paired at the turn. There's 14 outs on the flop, 13 after the turn.

No, there's 13. The Qd is bad, so that leaves 8 remaining diamonds, + 2 jacks, + 3 aces.

And it looks like you put AKd into stove. He has AJd. AKd would actually be stronger against QQ and JJ,...

Evolution. Nice! Funny thing is, my game is evolving daily. Fuck knows why it took me so long, but I got PokerTracker running now. I have no idea how I've coped without it. Since I multitable, I...

Yes, I think I get it. When I am faced with a decision, I will assign a range, and determine my play based on the range I have assigned, my hand strength in comparison to his range, and pot odds if...

Aren't you all just saying the same thing?

This statement above is fair enough.

But it's important to remember that the ranges we assign are determined by the stakes. So stake plays a part in...

Thanks stacks.

"Why would you want him to think you had a Queen here when you have AA."

Simple, because I wanted him to fold. I guess I didn't like the flop and was hoping to be able to take...

Fwiw I've seen people fold for 15 minutes then turn up with crap like AJo with this kind of line. I think it would be a mistake to give him too tight of a range just because of 5 minutes of tight...

I normally enter a room with $2, 100 bbs, and reaload up to $2 if I drop below $1.50. Is it better for me to just enter with $5?

This is exactly the kind of spot that got me open shoving pre flop...
