New MicroPoster Session (9/2/05)

Here we go again - a new MicroPoster session!

When this whole thing started, I was in my first significant downswing, so the concept was very appealling to me. Now that I've been picked, of course I've been playing much better lately.

These hands are all from early August at Party 0.5/1 during my poor play. I started doing a complete session, then realized that me folding 4/images/graemlins/club.gif2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif in EP is not very interesting. I started being more selective, but just ran out of time after 70 hands. I don't spend as much time here as most of you, so hopefully part of a session and 20 or so hands with actual action works. (Also, I'll try to check often in the next week, but I may not get back to some threads until the next day.)

As you'll see, there's plenty to berate. I was on mild tilt for most of the time - calling down too often and misplacing my aggression. I'm hoping to learn even more from this.

Thanks in advance to everyone for your time!

As usual, these are the rules:

COPIED FROM THE LAST SESSION: PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING ON TO THE SESSION:

1) The subject line should read “review,” the hand number, and the rank of the hand. This way it’s easy to find for anyone to refer to it. All they have to do is go to this post and scroll down to the hand. So, for example, a subject line should look like this “Review: Hand 27, 55”.

2) Remember this is primarily to identify leaks. Of course anyone is free to discuss a more difficult or interesting hand, just please keep in mind the original intent. Please focus on the seemingly mundane, routine thing that Hero might be doing wrong (especially in the blinds).

3) If there are 3 or more posts about the session on the front page of the board, please hold off on making a new one until one had dropped off the first page. The reason for this is that we don’t want to spam the board with session review posts. Lots of people would like their hands reviewed. Don’t worry too much if you accidentally just made it four though (bumps happen, and I’m not gonna be a Nazi about this), but just please be cognizant of what is on the front page of this forum before making a session post.

4) If this thread is not locked and sticked, please do not reply. The mod (usually Greg) is known to step away from the computer from time to time -- rest assured it will be locked and stickied in due time. Please start a separate thread. A few NC bumps are fine to keep it near the top, but all posts, substantive or otherwise, will be deleted to keep the clutter down.

And without further adieu:

I think we can all agree that hands 1-70 were pretty poor. Here are some from recent play at Paradise 0.5/1. Hopefully there are some interesting ones.

By the way, thanks to all so far for being kinder than you needed to be.

Villain is very loose and very passive. Playing over 70% of his hands, and rarely displaying aggression. I still think the fold was pretty weak in retrospect.

MP3 is our old friend the LP-P. The others are unknown. I think I took the continuation bet too far on this. And the river call is usually a waste. I don’t think I’m good 1 time in 10.

Mr. LP-P is directly to my left, and others are fairly reasonable (&lt;25% VP$IP) with starting hands. I’d like to play, but I’m not sure if I should limp. I cut off the action, because the rest is easy.

Only a few hands so far, but SB has been very loose pre-flop, and somewhat aggressive post-flop. I have no notes about betting a draw, however. The rest are still unknown.

I have no idea where the flop bet came from. Ignoring that, should I just check/fold on such a draw-heavy board? All of my two-pair/trip outs aren’t good, so I shouldn’t really even be calling one if I believe I’m behind. Thoughts?

Button (villain) has been loose and aggressive. I’m not sure what the river bet was. If I didn’t believe he had the Q, I should have 3-bet the turn. I can’t fold the river if raised, so if I do believe he has the Q, I should just check/call.
