Great day for new buddies (low content)
I found some of the best games I've seen this year in the wee morning hours (EST). I added 12 people to my buddy list and enjoyed a profitable session, but I also collected bad beats like candy.

Re: Great day for new buddies (low content)
Heh, at least he had a pair the whole way. Here's one of my last hands of last night (fortunately the exception rather than the rule):
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, MP3 calls, CO calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls $2 (All-In), MP3 calls, CO folds. Flop: (7 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls. Turn: (4.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls.

Re: Great day for new buddies (low content)
Good lord. I see this kind of thing more often than I would imagine it possible. How is a guy like MP3 who cold calls a preflop raise with 25o and then calls bets all the way down drawing to a (non-nut hand) gutshot straight still able to continue playing for any length of time before running out of money? Incredible.

Re: Great day for new buddies (low content)
In his defense, he limped preflop and got raised rather than cold-calling, but yes, he was one of the primary donators at the table [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I've only been playing 2/4 a short time, but I've been surprised that there remain a sizeable number of questionable players there -- a lot more so than 1/2 full, which I suppose is not a surprise to most on this board. They just seem to be more aggressive/bluffer types than loose-passive ones. |

They can c/r bluff a non threatening (they always assume you have AK) flop. I have definetly found 50% vpipers who can outplay me on the flop. Sorta scary. |

Obviously raising, then capping with 44 pf is ridiculous, but on the flop hes getting 23:1 to hit his 2 outer which is slightly less than break-even but the implied odds make up for it. On the turn he picks up 4 more outs so now is getting 14.5:1 to hit is set or straight which is fine. On the river he hits his one of the 6 outs. By building the pot pf, he actually played it well post. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'm still adjusting to the increased aggression, so I'll probably want to postpone a final judgement, but it seems to me there's a difference between good postflop play and plain vanilla aggressive postflop play. I'm sure that I've folded the best (A-high type) hand more than once because of it, but that's typically in small pots, whereas the same person will spew chips with J-high when I actually do have a big pair. I'd actually be interested in hearing about adjustments micro players have made to compensate for increased aggression in small stakes. I suppose I should make a post about it sometime [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
