Hodgey's cash games

Re: Hodgey's cash games Another half hour earlier for $32 profit. Maybe I have found a leak in my game - that is playing for too long at a time. If I look back at all 8 of my losing days they have all been in sessions of over an hour long. Of course there is always the possibility that I have played longer in the hope of regaining my losses (ie chasing losses) so in turn maybe that leads me into another weakness and I should follow croc's example that if I lose a buy-in I should stop. Or maybe combine the two so the 'rules' would be: Don't play for more than an hour (regardless of winning or losing). If lose a buy-in - STOP. Feb 14th +$32 Overall +$318

Re: Hodgey's cash games 56 minutes played yesterday for a $15 loss. I made 2 poor mistakes which put me over $50 down and I broke my own rule of not stopping there and then. :spank However, it turned out to be for the best as a flopped flush got $47 in one hit. I then got level and was going to leave when I got dealt QQ in the SB v the BB. An ace on the flop put paid to that though and I finished $15 down. It was then it was approaching the hour so I thought I better not break the other rule I set and just accept the small loss. Feb 16th -$15 Overall +$326

Re: Hodgey's cash games First hand: ** Game ID 1880330390 starting - 2008-02-20 20:31:43 ** Debrecen [Hold 'em] (0.25|0.50 No Limit - Cash Game) Real Money - DELAVEINE sitting in seat 1 with $40.07 [Dealer] - thomasz sitting in seat 2 with $14.89 - Sleekshot sitting in seat 3 with $49.50 - asswiggle sitting in seat 4 with $62.75 - redbull247 sitting in seat 5 with $36.25 - pablo_eskoba sitting in seat 6 with $43.06 thomasz posted the small blind - $0.25 Sleekshot posted the big blind - $0.50 ** Dealing card to Sleekshot: Ace of Diamonds, 9 of Diamonds asswiggle called - $0.50 redbull247 called - $0.50 pablo_eskoba folded DELAVEINE folded thomasz folded Sleekshot checked ** Dealing the flop: 4 of Spades, King of Diamonds, 10 of Diamonds Sleekshot checked asswiggle bet - $0.50 redbull247 raised - $2.00 Sleekshot called - $2.00 asswiggle raised - $3.50 redbull247 went all-in - $33.75 Sleekshot went all-in - $47.50 asswiggle folded ** Dealing the turn: 4 of Clubs ** Dealing the river: 8 of Clubs redbull247 shows: Ace of Spades, Ace of Clubs Sleekshot mucks: Ace of Diamonds, 9 of Diamonds redbull247 wins $73.75 from the main pot End of game 1880330390 Doh! I think it was the correct play, probably just a shame 'asswiggle' re-raised else I prob could have got away cheaper. Never mind. Still 39 minutes later and I leave with all that back and a profit of $14 too. Feb 20th +$14 Overall +$341

Re: Hodgey's cash games To be honest I wouldnt be makin this call here. In a limped pot there is a fair chance he has a set or something there, and even if he has KQ or a similar hand you are still about 45% and only just getting odds. Unless he is a total maniac I'm folding here, the only hand you beat that should push is QdJd. Also what do you make of pablo_eskoba on that table? I seem to see him on a lot of tables but have no proper notes on him yet.

Re: Hodgey's cash games Thanks for your feedback mate. :) I've always considered a nut flush draw on the flop to be about 50% (I don't know the exact figures) and have been happy to get the money in. I remember when I played in the PokerDome Perry Friedman knocked someone out doing the same thing and he didn't hesitate getting the chips in. However, I take on board what you said and I will do some more research into whether or not it is a good play in the future. :ok Regarding pablo_eskoba I think it's the first time I have had him at my table so can't really comment. From what I remember I thought he was fairly steady and didn't play many pots. One guy to look out for though was CaptainPedro who joined later. I liked him and got all my cash back through him! :ok

Re: Hodgey's cash games I did have an outside chance of a Royal Flush too! ;) No, in all seriousness I appreciate your views and it looks like maybe I am in the minority and have been playing flush draws wrong. If so - then I am happy to learn from it. :) Anyone else got any views on it?

Re: Hodgey's cash games

call from me too :ok
Cheers mate. :)
Had they both gone all in I'd call every time.
That's an interesting point mate and I did think afterwards perhaps I should have flat called in the hope of getting the other guy in the pot too. Another point I've just thought of though - what if I'd folded cos I don't have the odds and then the other guy calls? Tricky one that. :unsure Have been playing about a bit on poker calculators and have put three situations in: flushdrawtc5.jpg So obviously if I'd known he had aces I should fold. But I didn't know. A very possible hand is KQ - in which case I probably did have the odds seeing as the 3rd guy had put money in the pot too. Another hand, though not as likely to shove with in this instance, is 88. I think this is probably where the 50/50 ratio in my head has come from in the past. And one final possibility is he was drawing to a lower flush too, which I would beat most of the time, unless he pairs something and I don't. Still open to views on this - it's certainly made me think a bit more about flush draws. :ok

Re: Hodgey's cash games Was looking like being one of those sessions after getting no action with KK, AA and AKs and losing a few small pots. Then a cheeky bluff (I don't normally! ;)) secured a nice pot and suddenly it all turned round and I ended the sesh $44 up. Feb 23rd +$44 Overall +$385 And the best thing is I'm finally back in profit for Feb. Its taken a while since those dark days on 3rd and 4th Feb but I've recouped all of the $192 loss. :)

Re: Hodgey's cash games Recognising when to bluff can be very profitable Hodgey you need be up against a gd opponent who is able to recognise that you are representing extreme strength. Also it needs to be a flop that isn't likely to have hit your opponent, and must follow through with the bluff to the end.

I think sometimes it's difficult to find a good opponent to do it against at my level (or maybe they just see straight through me! :lol) and I sometimes in the past failed to follow it through. But very satisfying when it comes off. :ok

Re: Hodgey's cash games Played a short sesh last night on a very agressive table. My 1st hand cost me $15 after I misread my opponent thinking he was flushing. 2nd hand I flopped a straight but unfortunately hadn't reloaded in time so only got $35 from it. I then made trips to get to $45 up in about 5 minutes. A mistake by me cost $30, but then flopped another straight to finish $48 up in 20 minutes. Nice. :D Feb 24th +$48 Overall +$433

Re: Hodgey's cash games Finished Feb last night with an hour sesh. Nothing much was happening until my flopped 2 pair was beaten by a higher 2 pair on the turn.

Re: Hodgey's cash games :wall A very poor session yesterday. Made one huge error which cost me a buy-in. Ground my way back to about $20 down when dealt KK. Only to get outdrawn on the turn, and then not good enough to fold even though I suspected he might have the straight. ** Game ID 1912050353 starting - 2008-03-10 22:12:10 ** Feel This Way [Hold 'em] (0.25|0.50 No Limit - Cash Game) Real Money - Bikkosos sitting in seat 1 with $87.79 - ma6inata sitting in seat 2 with $167.33 - P18 sitting in seat 3 with $40.22 [Dealer] - h01aer sitting in seat 4 with $45.63 - _Slaughter_ sitting in seat 5 with $29.78 - Sleekshot sitting in seat 6 with $82.56 h01aer posted the small blind - $0.25 _Slaughter_ posted the big blind - $0.50 ** Dealing card to Sleekshot: King of Diamonds, King of Clubs Sleekshot called - $0.50 Bikkosos folded ma6inata folded P18 called - $0.50 h01aer folded _Slaughter_ bet - $1.50 Sleekshot raised - $4.50 P18 called - $4.50 _Slaughter_ called - $4.50 ** Dealing the flop: King of Spades, 6 of Hearts, 10 of Clubs _Slaughter_ checked Sleekshot checked P18 bet - $3.00 _Slaughter_ folded Sleekshot called - $3.00 ** Dealing the turn: Queen of Clubs Sleekshot checked P18 bet - $7.72 Sleekshot raised - $20.00 P18 went all-in - $25.00 Sleekshot called - $32.72 ** Dealing the river: 3 of Hearts P18 shows: Ace of Clubs, Jack of Clubs Sleekshot shows: King of Diamonds, King of Clubs P18 wins $82.19 from the main pot End of game 1912050353 Sets just aren't happening for me at the moment. Earlier I flopped a set of 2's against 2 callers but no action at all. And then to rub it in right at the end of the sesh, my Ace paired only to be beaten by a set of Jacks. :( So a poor day, which puts March into the red. Mar 10th -$91 Overall +$427

Re: Hodgey's cash games Awful session last night resulting in a $150 loss. Things really conspiring against me at present. 4 key things yesterday: 88 beaten by AA on a 6 high board -$38 Ace high flush beaten by Full House -$38 2 pair rivered by a set -$18 AA beaten by 44 -$34 I don't think I'm playing any differently to how I have been, but if I'm not then I'm suffering from some serious short-term variance swing. And at the end of the day I've wiped out nearly 2 months profit in 2 days. :sad Am really gutted again. It's not so much the money, but the fact that I really wanted to make a go of cash games this time round. I shall continue with it mainly cos I'm only a few loyalty points short of releasing a $50 bonus but I'm not sure if I have a long-term future at it. :unsure Hats off to you guys who consistently win at the cash tables. :clap Any tips gratefully received. Mar 11th -$150 :( Overall +$277
