Punto Banco Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 During current Hold'em session you were dealt 65 hands and saw flop: - 7 out of 12 times while in big blind (58%) - 3 out of 12 times while in small blind (25%) - 9 out of 41 times in other positions (21%) - a total of 19 out of 65 (29%) Pots won at showdown - 2 of 7 (28%) Pots won without showdown - 6 This is the session that took back every cent I have made from playing this limit over the past 2 days... should I continue on or just dump it now and play the the more conservative no limit (it truly is)... 3 particular rivers killing my 2pair with higher 2 pairs.... straights v flushes.... every AK AQ hand I cant remember winning on (more than change)... and a hand flopping set of kings ends in small pot... after bet raise call (me) call... the blank turn I bet out... every1 folds... hmm o well back to square last week...

Punto Banco Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Re: Limit Session goes Wrong... Any particular reason for playing limit Mak? Back in my playing day... lol just sounds funny... I have always played limit... and yes i know that in limit these things happens I am just not used to taking poker beats on the chin yet... but i always intended once i had enough id give limit a whirl again... once i move to another room ill give no limit the go but at stars it is just way too tight... i find i have to make my way by winning many small pots... in .5/.10 I have only ever won 1 $10+ pot that was with AA hitting an over set on someone on the flop... cant do that it is so frustrating... plus I really enjoy limit more... I need more poker friends I guess to complain too... I just need to vent at this point when something gets under my skin or I will end up tilting my money away... not sure but I hope that answers ur question...

Crouch Potato Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Re: Limit Session goes Wrong... Yeah I guess it does, no real reason but I was just curious as much as anything. I agree NLHE can become a bit of a grind, though truthfully playing on Stars maybe isn't the best idea lol. I've changed games too, but I'm mostly playing PLO cash games these days and saving the NLHE for tournies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stay away... 95% you can get called to the river with the best hand... and that is good enough for me... while my bank is small ATM this buyin does not intimidate me... I feel comfortable, but with also a strong desire to build and I think that puts me in a good place....:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crouch Potato Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Re: Limit Session goes Wrong... They sound like sound reasons so g'luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punto Banco Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Re: Limit Session goes Wrong... ... though this isnt a sole reason i should play it but it helps... with so many decent pots I am now within 200 fpp's of my second bonus and leaving stars... I think I can build money by then and if not the $50 should off set any loss... i believe it will only be small... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glceud Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Re: Limit Session goes Wrong... I play a lot of limit poker to clear bonuses, and if you play tight, agressive, passive it is very hard to lose more than the bonus you are aiming for.
