muttley Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Re: Ello guys. :welcome to the site laner. You sound as if you're in a similar situation to me when I first started posting. Don't be afraid to ask questions. No-one will ever shoot you down, and we benefit by having to think specific situations through. I recently quit Redtooth because I believed it was damaging my game. The problem with them is that the blinds go up far too quickly, particularly with 30 to 40 players and you have to play loose just to keep up. I usually found myself with a maniac to the right of me and a calling station to the left, which made making plays impossible. It's a good night out if you get a good crowd, but if your serious about improving you need to try other venues (live and online) too.

xlanerx Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Re: Ello guys. cheers,nice to meet you all. dont worry,im going to be asking plenty of questions...i got a long way to go =) muttley,totally agree...after the break...its insane,you need hands...because its usually all in or fold.Its almost impossible to push most people off hands. Today i only had 2 legit winning hands...pocket 9s which i re raised a guy all in who i knew pre flop,i knew he didnt have a killer,but i didnt want him to call...called with ace 10 off suit. And second hand was my only strong ace (AQ) off suit in which i completely missed flop turn and river(we both checked it down),there was a bigish pot in middle (around 700 half an hour in) and then on river he bet 200 and i called reading that he had sweet fa. Other then that i had to bluff a lot.and i made some killer bluffs.of course after the break it is a lot harder to do that. Not too bothered,only poker and it was a good night but i would like a setting where its less luck orientated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
