When Should I stop?

Took a stab at the 10/20 6m today with 6500$. I'm down ~1400$. The games are incredibly soft, the beats are ridiculous. I'm definitely a winner in this game.

When should I get up?

I don't think I'm tilting, but I don't know. This river cap kinda sucked. Villians a pretty big LAG.

thats a tough one but even a LAG can get a good hand. After the turn CAP I probably just call the river. AK, AJ, A9 beats you here.

I also look at his reaction to my raise. If he gives the weak means strong tell off I am more careful.

Like delays thinking about your raise for 5 seconds then reraises you. The old "hmm, oh this is a tough decision, oh well I reraise"

how much bankroll do you have behind the 6500?

Huh. If I had a bigger BR behind the 6500 this wouldn't be much of a stab, and I wouldn't be worried about a 75BB downswing.

I sat down with 6500 in my BR. The tables were good enough to warrant it.

asofel · #7 10-10-2005, 02:45 PM

yea, when he caps the turn and leads out on the river I'm thinking he's got more than a lone A. Your hand feels strong as hell but if he 3 bets river, you definitely can't cap.

Take a break for a while....hours at least...they might be bad, but you will not be playing your A game now and losing another 1k would really hurt. They'll be there tonight...

it's only up to yourself as long as you play good and have money so that you could play 5/10 again if you fail, but 10/20 can be more tricky than what it looks like, some lags play desent postflop wich is not true for 5/10. And it's a lot of lags so it will swing.

But the only tip is to play when you feel confortbal, if you feel comfort with this then its just to hang in

play well

Stop now. Seriously. If this isn't your main game you are probably overestimating the fishiness of the games. You'll also feeding TAGs. You probably are tilting at least slightly. The risk vr reward just isn't there. And you played the hand you posted badly. No way you are ahead 50% when you decided to cap.

How do you know after one day? You have a lot of SH experience? Also, your river cap in that KK vs. AK hand is no good.

The 10 is not an easy game by any stretch of the imagination. I wouldn't recommend hitting it if you're asking yourself these sorts of questions after a -75BB day, which is a semi-frequent occurence at this game.
