J_Slice's Cash Game Thread

[J_Slice]

Played two more sessions last night for a total of ~600 hands. Ended up breaking completely even with going -$3.61 the first session and +$3.61 the next haha. Going to look through my database for a hand or two before I start another session today.

Good luck J Slice. Thanks for posting your story man, I can relate to you in many ways. I used to play poker for fun live with my friends, then I got really interested in online poker when I started playing FullTilt. I actually lost over a thousand dollars first because I didn't know what I was doing, so I started reading articles and books. I played with playmoney on FT and got my play money bankroll up to 12 million. It was at the high stakes play money tables that I learned to play good poker and met some really cool play money regulars. ha. Anyways, I had to take a few years away from online poker due to school and life, but now I'm back and working on building a bankroll on carbon from freerolls too. So I hope you are able to succeed, and that one day we can play each other at a real money table!

Thanks for the support. Sorry that you lost a few thousand, that is unfortunate. I think I have withdrawn several hundred from playing online, so I got lucky and didn't have to pay so much to learn how to really play. Good luck with your journey as well, thanks again for the support.

Considering that his VPIP is 5, and 3b is 0 over 60 hands, I have a hard time seeing him shoving without the nuts here or trips here. So I'm thinking QTs if he decided to play loose randomly on the BB, but I doubt it. I think 99 is possible. so I'm going to go with 99. He also could have QdJd, which seems to fit the betting pattern here and his stats. If he has QdJd, that gives you the better hand but gives him possible gutshot and flush draw. He could also have slowplayed AA preflop.

So possible range: more likely: AA, 99, QdJd less likely: QTs or KQs.
I would fold here, mainly because his stats say "nit" and his all-in from oop deserves respect.
