Re: MLL - Week 2 - Luck of the Irish
I take down Greg J in 245 hands in a battle of the moderators. There was quite a bit of lucksackery on both sides (he hit numerous backdoor draws and had trump any time there was a 4-flush on the board, I got 3 AA's and a KK and had some outstanding suckouts at the end). For the first portion of the match, he would have the upper hand, and then I would fight back to even before losing ground again. Eventually, my suckouts proved to be too much. He wasn't even planning on participating in this thing, but I challenged him anyway. Great match, man.

Re: MLL - Week 2 - Luck of the Irish
Awright, done grinding out hands for a bit, anybody up for some HU? Have been playing nothing but HU/SH for the past few days.

Slamhound catches AA when he's all-in, then bounces all the way back to beat gharp in 122 hands.

Re: MLL - Week 2 - Luck of the Irish
That was an insane match, had absolutely nothing until I hit the AA when all in, then proceeded to hit over and over when gharp had a real hand.
My game still sucks. |

Re: MLL - Week 2 - Luck of the Irish
Ok ok, Well as i want to be a good player i wont retire. Next time i play one ill see what happens.
I do pay attention but when guys bet into you with j6o bottom pair, Then dont preflop raise AA and whatever else i find hand reading goes out of the window. |

You're pre-supposing that villain will be playing a certain style before the match. You've got it completely backwards. You enter the game and THEN figure out his playing style. You are describing a classic 'backwards' play, where strong hands are played weakly and weak hands are played strongly. This should be giving you hints about what villain holds. (The information should not go out the window.) If you have hyperLAG preflop villain who suddenly limps, you need to be on alert. If villain limps a lot preflop, you should start raising with your stronger hands to punish the weak limps. When villain bet a bunch on the flop with bottom pair, you know you need to loosen your calling/raising standards. If you notice that he folds to resistance, you need to increase your bluffing/semi-bluffing frequencies. These adjustments are the key to becoming a solid poker player. |
