Posting at work. Day 2

0 doubt · #1 12-28-2005, 03:57 PM

Day two for my pathetic attempt to move from .50/1 -> 1/2 party. I have no idea why I keep getting creamed when I move up even the smallest of levels. Typical results are for me are 5BB/100 in .5/1 and 1/2 is something like -3BB/100. Its rediculous. Its definitely not the money either as I can bankroll this easily. I'm just trying to figure out what is wrong with my game. Here's another hand example.

SB is LAG (loose aggressive, right?)

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 8 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 2 folds, MP2 calls, 2 folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
SB bets, BB folds, Hero raises, MP2 folds, SB calls.

Turn: (6 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, SB calls.

River: (8 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 10 BB

How many hands have you played at $.5/1? How many hands at $1/2?

Lags bet scare cards, hoping you'll fold. Sometimes they have hands, too, reinforcing their lagginess. Calling here is not the reason why you keep getting creamed.

SB (LPP) shows a freakin' 47o for two pair. Nice one, eh?

.5/1 -> ~10K
1/2 -> ~2.5K

No sample size, play 10k hands at 1/2 before you even think about getting a line on your play.

Kibby, you should post other hands. This one is pretty standard. You are getting 9-1 to call on the river and he is doing this without a flush/ace here more than 1 in 9 times.

Fair enough, will do.

looks like the flush got there. I cry and call.
