I just took a shot at 15/30 - nolo contente
 

You know, for fun!

My bankroll management might suck, but I'm very proud of my table selection. I waited until I found a table with a lot of calling before posting my giant novelty blind. Then I played two orbits. I played one hand per orbit. One of these hands featured me dragging the largest pot of my life (in dollars). With J8 offsuit.

Here are my 15/30 stats:

Total hands: 14
VPIP: 14.29
PFR: 7.14
VPI from SB: 50.00 (J8! thank you 10/15 structure! thank you God!)
Att. to steal Blinds: 50.00 (QJ) [attempt FAILED]
BB/100 Hands: 44.52
Won $ at SD: 100.00

I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl!

That is all.

"I'm as giddy as a schoolgirl"

No offense Monty, really, but I can't see myself ever feeling or saying something like that.

I did the same thing about 3 weeks ago. Thought it would be cool to play 1 or 2 orbits at 15-30. never lost 2 grand so quickly in my whole life.

well tell us about the hand..... what position you were in, how the pot got to be so big.........

Re: I just took a shot at 15/30 - nolo contente
 

I think your VPIP is a bit low, maybe play more from late. Also, you should raise a bit more. Then again, your BB/100 isn't so bad, so what do I know.

I got two words for those guys: STACK MANAGEMENT. Also, I probably should have bet the flop.

yeah, but the button DEFINITELY shoulda bet it, no? or is his line: no one likes their hand, and when they hit it, it won't be a better hand than mine, so i should wait to be bluffed into...

Thanks, I figured if I'm gonna play above my roll I should bring my "A" game.
