Your just saying that because he fixes your car. In any case good luck out on the track, show these noobs how its done.
You need to learn how to lay down what you think is the best hand. That is one of the many leaks in your game that you need to fix if you wanna get better tbh. in fact, you have a lot of leaks in your game from preflop play to postflop play, sizing pre/post, tilt, playing awful hands against generally easy villains, etc etc and these are all clear reasons why it's smart to review your hands and to ask people how they would play their particular hand.Quote:

calling utg opens with K3s is major spew, I hope your brain realized that by now. also, i'm the best thing thats happened to you because i've alerted you of your overall play and for your sake I hope you improve because even though your not the nicest person I like seeing people better their game as a player.Quote:

umm, default hands, i mean nothing horrible. Unlucky, but if you`ll keep in this way , you will get lucky.
for what it's worth most of these hands probably wouldn't have happened if he played 'em better. calling with k3s vs a utg open, limping AQo, spewing mid pair on a triple barrel on a Q98Kx board etc are all bad spots hero put himself in that would have been avoided had he optimized his 1 year of practice.Quote:

I see your biggest cash - on Carbon - as $9, playing almost exclusively in freerolls. You really have no business discussing poker with anyone, tbh.

Be your own judge.
my mtt results has nothing to do with my analysis in this thread. i'd like to think that the majority of my advice has been okay and definitely not what you refer to as donk advice.Quote:

but alas i don't judge based off on cashes because thats extremely results oriented. i like to judge players based on their entire game as a whole and frankly imo you need a lot of improvement to be considered an okay micros player. also, i like to think i've improved my game and certainly more volume = more cashes = higher chance of binking a big cash.
Sometimes the desperate all in moves work out!!
Well I'm not even going to look that up since anyone can claim anything I suppose.Quote:

The links are right there, puddin. I'm not trying to brag, you brought up stats. Yours are dismal. I have nothing to hide. You, on the other hand, should probably just keep stats out of it. Oh, and btw: $5 games are still micros, fish. I have run from $0 to $10k on three separate occasions. You, sir, are completely out of your element.Quote:

I don't even know what to say about these hands. Played some guy, who was actually pretty aggressive and probably better than your average donk. I busted him twice, but when carbon keeps giving him the all important all in hands, nothing I can do about it. I would have beat him everytime.
sorry lorenzowns and heaverwhatever. I lost my cool there and kept shoving at you two. It was very undisciplined of me. Again I apologize.
yeah that was out of line i dont want to see that ever again ty 4 the apology man i was really down today reading your repliesQuote:

You're not running bad, its just merge finding a way to make you broke by rigging the board. Try playing live, maybe you'll feel a little better.Quote:

There's a time to push the edges, and a time to just focus on not getting busted. You've been getting busted a lot, why not wait till the river to decide if you're going to fall in love with your cards?Quote:

but yes I see your point, I don't like taking unnecessary risks either. I'm actually playing some fixed limit cash games, which is very new to me. The variance seems very low which makes me very happy because 20 dollars can dissapear so quickly playing NL and tournaments. I just wish I was better at laying down top pair on the river lol to a reraise.
I feel your pain. A good thing to remember is to always bet or raise with a plan. I see a lot of players who'll bet a flop or raise a bettor, but then when they get re-raised or called they don't always re-assess the situation. It's like it never dawned on them that they might get played back at. In the QQ vs 33 case, it's just a cooler, you're probably never folding (likewise with the poor 99), but some questions to consider BEFORE betting/raising:Quote:

Is there a player fiddling with chips, indicating an urge to get in the pot or continue in the hand? Is there a stack that is so short that they are likely to feel committed? If there is a short-stack, what kinds of hands could they have limped with, raise-called, flatted 3 cold, etc?
Then, ask yourself, if I bet/raise, do I want a call? What if they raise? Can I get off my hand if they have me out-chipped? Do I want to have to call a short-stack if he shoves over me? Then size your bet appropriately. If you're worried about getting raised, keep the pot size manageable according to flop texture. Short stacks are likely to shove if they hit ANY part of the flop, or have ANY kind of draw. Well, if you know that, then just check to them. If they shove, you get to decide your move without the burden of "having to call" because you'd already put a pile in.
How would I play this hand if I know this player NEVER folds? (Like you're probably experiencing right now in Limit Holdem, lol, or as some call it, no-foldem holdem). How would I play this hand if I know this player ALWAYS raises? The reality is usually somewhere in the middle, so history, stack sizes, card strength will aid the decision, but the worst is to be surprised by a raise or a call. If you have an expectation already, it's not quite so soul-crushing when it actually happens.
I'm always seeing players raise on the button into a short-stack in the blinds, then when the shortie re-ships they act like they are torn with some difficult decision. Had they simply pondered that option before raising, their reaction should be automatic at that point.
yea suck outs suck, but they are part of the game
Whoops...lost my train of thought there.
My point was going to be, in a situation where you have QQ, 2 callers, and an all-low board, what hands do you think would call your flop shove? What hand do they put YOU on? Does your bet seem desperate, trappy, or value-ish? Of course pairs over the board and under yours are in a bind, but you're never getting a set to fold, rarely getting combo draws to fold, same with hands like flush draw with a pair, etc. If you can narrow Villain's range to actually include hands that like the flop, maybe you save the big bets til the turn or river.
So when you jam there, you're taking the pot down a high % of the time, but the times you DO get called, you're rarely far ahead. Even if they simply have top pair, we've only seen 60% of the final board. And I don't have to tell you that you lose more tourneys when you are holding big hands that you can't escape than when you are holding marginal hands that keep improving throughout the hand.
And of course, if your table is soft or you are running them over, there's really no need to get crazy on any one hand. It's okay to get bluffed on occasion, then go right back to running them over.
It's the old Sklansky analogy, where you are betting on a coin toss. If someone offered you 3 to 1 on a 50/50, you'd want to take it. BUT, what if they told you that tomorrow they'll offer you 10 to 1, and you only have the one coin? You'd easily pass on the 3 to 1 today to take the shot at the 10 to 1 tomorrow.
