Hi,been playing hold'em and studying the game for about a year,have read some of the top author's on the subject,and use Wilson's TTH sofeware.Just found a 10-20 home game in neighbour which saves me times going to to casino,fairly loose game and sometimes very loose.Try to play a tight aggressive game and once in a while call in early position with 78suited or better for deception.First time playing there made $400,no one's play really impressed me,they would play A with any card,and a lot of garbage hands even when raised.Next time l played lost about $400,was playing good starting hands group 1 and 2,and in later postion added some group 3-7 hands if the action wasn't to aggressive.Some example's of hands l lost, AK in the hole the flop K 3-2 off suit, l raised preflop 4 callers, bet the flop 2 callers turn card 8,bet 1 caller,river 9,bet get raised,l call he opens 3-9. Pocket kings in the hole raise,few callers,bet turn, 1 caller left,river A,he bets,l call opens A with five kicker. After the flop l have a flush draw for the nut, l raise the better no flush on the turn get a free card,can't close. Top pair next flop with a strong kicker,l bet gets me on a back door flush.
Third time l played there lost again,about $500 with good cards.
Next time playing down about $600 pushing the bets with strong hands getting rivered.Early postion with pocket 44
it's raised and reraised l muck get's capped, the flop hit's a 4 and the turn is a 4,unbelieveable,a few situations like this happened,how can you justify a call?
Hit a couple of nut flushes that night got my money back,but [censored] man this is too much.
l'm aware of my surroundings, don't see any monkey business going on in the game. l personally don't think there are great players there,though there are some good players there.
Just by taking to some of these players,they don't know the odds of flopping a pair,two pair,trips and so on,pot odds
justification calls,and some of there comments don't sound logical.
l except what happens at the table, that's just part of the game.
lf you have any comments l would like to hear what you have to say,and l thank you. The Rookie
