short update

have played a little less than 1k hands since i last posted and am down about 2.5 buy-ins over that time.

i pretty much dropped that in the first 100 hands or so and have played break even since. i talked about plugging some pre-flop leaks in my last post but now i'm playing pretty snug. actually im playing a bit nitty with a vpip in the 15% range. that's very very very tight for plo but it's probably still profitable in the lower stakes. the good thing is that my pfr% is still in the 8-9% range which means i'm staying aggressive.

only one or two bone head moves that cost me but overall im happy with my play. most losses were due to losing flips which is going to happen.

i'm going to play some more over the next two nites.

life at the micro-stakes

so i've played a little over 2k hands back down at 25¢/50¢ with good results.


i've played better but still have had the odd brain fart where i stick it in horrible. luckily i've won a couple monster pots that have padded my stats. i'm still ironing out some of my pre-flop leaks and was over valuing hands like 9♥9♣7♦6♥ which are actually fairly weak holdings from up front.

Also, i've come to realize that drawing to the 2nd or 3rd nuts can get you in a lot of trouble. i've always known this when playing straight and flush draws but i always kind of figured that if i had a non-nut combo draw it was still plenty powerful. i couldn't be more wrong and in this hand i get it in with a mere 6% equity on the flop and manage to suckout.

here i make a the worst donkey call ever but somehow stuck it in. one of those times as soon as you click call you realize what you just did. posting mostly to embarass myself.

i've been trying to sneak in a few hands everyday at lunch since i want to get as many hands in as possible.

i'll play tonight and probably post more tomorrow.
