Player004 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Re: Player04 Welcome to my thread. Lets get right down to it. HAND HISTORY #1 I had been playing well in this game, very aggressive in position which is why I think penalhuset played the hand like this. BossMedia Game #1429607511: Table Table TH 375 - €0.05/€0.10 - No Limit Hold'em - 20:31:31 - 2009/01/27 Seat 1: Player004 (€20.12) Seat 3: stonearm (€9.85) Seat 2: penalhuset (€20.69) Seat 4: |sumada| (€8.08) Seat 5: gameover32 (€10.68) stonearm posts the big blind of €0.10 penalhuset posts the small blind of €0.05 Player004 is the button *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Player004 [8h Ad] |sumada| folds gameover32 folds Player004 raises €0.35 penalhuset calls €0.35 stonearm folds *** FLOP *** [3d Qc 2h] penalhuset bets €0.30 Player004 raises €1.70 penalhuset calls €1.70 *** TURN *** [3d Qc 2h] [Ah] penalhuset checks Player004 bets €2.20 penalhuset raises €8.65 Player004 goes all-in with €18.07 penalhuset calls €18.07 *** RIVER *** [3d Qc 2h Ah] [9d] *** SUMMARY *** Total pot €38.33 | Rake €2.01 Board: [3d Qc 2h Ah 9d] Player004 won (€0.00), showed [8h Ad] penalhuset won (€38.33), showed [2s Ac] stonearm won (€0.00), mucks |sumada| won (€0.00), mucks gameover32 won (€0.00), mucks I have penalhuset down as a good player, I had spent the game trying not to get involved with him. He had re raised me a couple of times in the same situation and had gone on to show strong hands so I didn't put him on AQ or anything like QQ, KK, AA. Maybe JJ. I bluffed at the flop and then when the A hit was absolutely sure I was ahead, then got blinkered and donated my chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Re: Player04 Fold he has a 5; it was a dangerous board, you really needed to protect your hand against draws by raising the flop hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweetypie05 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Re: Player04 It's a huge bet that only a 5 could call... so i reckon he had A8s! :\ He could have pocket 5s or 88s which would put you in trouble but I think with the call on the flop and large river bet he must have a suited A... I'm leaking money like a seive at the moment so imagine I am completely wrong and shouldn't have bothered posting this... but it's too late now! Curious though AJ... what do you think he had with his 5... A5s maybe? Pocket 5s, or a totally random hand??? As I say my current game is going downhill at the moment... some poor calculating and adventorous calls from other have done me in... and I would like to hear why he has the 5?? He did raise preflop... not enough to be a real hand??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomahawk1984 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Re: Player04 I'd put him on a pocket pair. I don't think that call on the flop was very strong so I think the only hands you need to be worried about are 55 or 88. I think the only PP he could call that flop raise with is 55 but then the pre flop raise from the BB with that doesn't fit. I'd call and expect to see something like JJ, QQ. I agree with AJ though and you should have been more active on the flop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player004 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Re: Player04 Some very bad play from me this week. Lost one big hand just before I was about to log off and it went downhill from there. A new week tomorrow and hopefully the graph will be moving in the right direction.

Now if I can keep the volume up with a better return I'll be really pleased. At the moment it looks like I'll be living off rakeback!

Player004 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Re: Player04 So much for that plan. I really am rubbish at cash. Can't seem to get anything going at all. Going to cut down to 2 tables and only play for 60-90 minutes at a time. Think I'm down about €50 at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find I start to lose concentration after about 60 minutes playing cash(3 tables SH) so try not to play long sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player004 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Re: Player04 Won a buy in back since cutting down to 2 tables. Down about $15 overall. Just need to tough out the bad periods and try to improve what I'm doing. Didn't think I'd struggle at this level :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Re: Player04 Didn't think I'd struggle at this level :$ I think a lot of players "rubbish" playing at this level - the standard is definitely worse, however I also think it's a good test of a players natural skill (theoretical book poker needs to be significantly adjusted for to play against this level at its best) and a good test of a players ability to adjust their game to their opponents - learning to beat this level will, IMO, stand you better than skipping it to a point where you can just play your standard text book poker.....

One major thing that has helped is getting the HUD sorted so I can try and figure out what people are doing. Its amazing how many player play 60% of hands but never raise. I'm really trying to work on not getting attached to hands. I am calling when it is obvious my KK has been beaten by a river that fills both straight and flush draws and my opponent goes all in but I have still called. I reckon that has cost me about €40. Maybe at the bigger levels this won't happen so much (wishful thinking?) but big river bets at this level are never a bluff so I need to keep focused on that. \ramble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player004 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Re: Player04 Sent my weeks sessions off. Really turned this week around, I was €39.54 down by the end of Monday after some really bad play but managed to crawl my way to about €11 up for the week.

otisblue Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Re: Player04 I find tiredness and moods are the main enemy,if I`m full of life and happy the games easy,if someone at work or at home upsets me then I end up losing sooner or later,the same happens if I`m tired.So I am trying to stick to these rules,easier said then done I know,but they way forward I think.As for your hand I would have tried to win it on the flop,if any followed and depending on what type of player they are,would not have another big bet.
