Playing in 3bet pots

Monday, April 21st, 2008

On Friday, I watched a free video from DeucesCracked, that changed quite a bit how I perceive the 3bet pot situations.(Thanks Andrew) So if you play in kinda aggressive games I recommend you watch this one.

I have been testing the games from 25PLO to 100PLO and the results are I crush the 25PLO, get crushed in 100PLO and am kinda ok in the 50PLO. And WTF, even on PLO25 there are like 2 people at every table that play like 25/18 or 30/20…where are the weak players? And my biggest leak is that I suck in folding second or third nuts…I will win so much if I learn to fold…

Month turning point?

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Yesterday, I discussed general poker issues with a friend and after the talk felt inspired to seriously reduce the number of tables I am playing.

I want to play good poker with style, aggression and reads and this is not always possible when I play 6-8 tables at a time.

So I played a NLHE and PLO sessions yesterday on 4 tables. The last time I played 4 tables was 6 months ago, when I discovered that you need a very simple strategy to beat NL50. I was able to focus on table selection more and choose two tables with loose calling players and the results speak for themselves.

Small sample, still running below expectation, but better than my return on 8 tables :)
