awful method.
 

Ok,

Hard to beleive that I am going to be the first one saying this.

Your method of going steps back and then forward is bad.

Any serious player that makes good money will agree with me on this. Any professional would just laugh. This is especially true when you are playing 5-10 (where the rake is high so you need to really maximize, and also where the players are usually not smart enough to notice how you play anyway).

I forget how much you started with, but if you played good poker and stopped fooling around you should be making a good 60 bucks an hour or so (I am assuming ur playing 2 tables when I make the estimate.)

Fish play bad hands, they play the good ones too. You are the fish every time you raise 68 or GM at that level.

I know that ur a serious guy, but you're completely delusional about this whole method.

Play good poker.

Don't be a fish.

Out of curiosity, do you think your method would work in a tough game?

Re: awful method.
 

I agree you're fooling yourself if you think the fish actually watch what you play and adjust accordingly to the point that play negative EV hands increases your EV+ enough to compensate.

I've played with you ~300 hands and in that time you limped UTG with K6s and T8s these are not profitable hands from UTG and especially in pots which are often raised PF....or limping in after limpers with Q7o on the button.

The fish might or might not pay attention, but I am gaining something from the -EV hands, as I give bad beats to some of the 'tighter' players and I have tilted many a player, making table better and my own winrate higher.

I looked in my PT and didn't find any hand where I limped in with Q7o from the button, I have however lost about 10% of the hands I have played duw to problems with my email account.

I have also had a couple days where I admittingly have played bad poker, slightly on tilt, and also to tired to be anything but a buttonclicker, but I think it is healthy to play some hands that aren't predicatable at all, for advertising and to make others not know where your next punch will come from.

I will probably never get the 'Tight play by the book Army'out there to get this point, but that is not my intention either.

Re: awful method.
 

Yes I know I am the fish when I bet the GM blindly the whole way, it is not a coincidence that it is the hand I have lost the most on.

However I like my playing style, it makes the wait list on my table longer than anywhere else.
If I was playing 'correct' poker the whole way, my tables would be breaking up instead.

Why possibly would I want to play in a tough game? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

PS: congrats on your recent success.

Re: My Personal OIC new thread
 

Down $124 today, at +2744.
I was past 3k, but met a couple very aggressive sh h players and lost down to 2500 before I got back up a little at the end.

They left before I could bully them back, but sometimes you meet a really aggressive player, and it is like you are taming them, making them not know what to do all of a sudden.

Re: My Personal OIC new thread
 

Down $657 today, didn't play good, and wasn't hitting it either. Now at +2087 overall.

Won back that and more in 15-30 later so that is my consolation.

Had a couple interesting hands there, will post them later if I find them back.

Re: My Personal OIC new thread
 

why not give the 20-40 at paradise a shot with that 2k? your play would do well there i think.

Re: My Personal OIC new thread
 

Well, I went and looked, and the stats on those games looked beatable, however 2k is severly shortstacked in that game, of course it is in 15-30 too, but atleast I get to have my favorite blindstructure. (40%-60%)

I have been noticing tougher aggro play against me lately, and less folders, must be me posting here doing it, guess I'll ask Tom McEvoy to let me borrow his account [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
