Re: Man, My Last 182,000 Hands have really Sucked.
I too enjoy the word 'whilst'.
I think Lorinda used it about 17 times in the Internet-forum FAQ's. i understand your situation...but the way you have to auto-pilot to play 8 tables might still not be for the best in the long-term. That's easy to say though when I'm no the one putting food in your kid's mouth (congrats btw). But even just cutting to 6 tables during SOME of your play will slow things down some (and will probably feel like playing in slow-motion to you since you're so used to 8) and will allow you to perhaps concentrate a bit more and think on a slightly higher level. It's one thing to have stats on your opponents and have a general idea of how they play...but your opponents aren't complete dolts most of the time no matter how bad they play. And it's possible that THEY are getting a read on YOU. Are you always getting check-raised when you value-bet after the draw comes through and always paying-off 'just in case' because you still have that chance of picking off the bluff?? If they read that you will pay-off and will almost always value-bet at the end then they will eventually be smart enough to C/R you to death. Stuff like that. This is one of my biggest downfalls of late anyway and I think is something that goes along with multi-tabling ABC-ish play where your reads aren't quite as specific and you are less aware of what your opponents are thinking of you. Also - since I'm currently a losing player I'm not sure any of my opinions should really be taken all that seriously anyway...but that's my own personal whine. |

[/ QUOTE ] Actually, I'm value-betting like crazy but haven't been paying off raises/check-raises at all (unless my opponent tends to pull bluffs like this, which is rare [I hope]). Maybe some more observant opponents are noticing that I'm value-betting my TPTK or whatever even when possible draws come in and not paying off, and taking advantage of that and bluffing at me more often? I dunno. Good point anyway. |

But break-even/losing stretches are anything but boring to me. [/ QUOTE ] This is correct. For me when im running horrible it's quite entertaining to see the numerous ways in which I can lose. |
