Votann's Posts

Is there such a thing as being too aggressive? Been kinda analyzing my play slightly over the last few hours. It seems (to me) that im winning mostly by pushing players off hands when im probably holding the same or worse. I know this can be a good thing, but is doing it too much bad?

maybe not the best of examples
but hopefully u get what i mean

edit: actually lookin at the second hand it seems quite retarded how i play it. thing is ive been doin that sort of thing most of the night and it is working  

Ok so been takin another stab at cash game today and havent been doing too badly. Taken my losses with out raging but ive ended up a few BI up.

Anyway...I thought id open up my starting hand range today. stretchin to connectors and suited cards, rather than just stickin to pure ABC. It seems to be working well. My question is about betting draws. Ive done it quite alot and its paid off a few times.
Ive found that by doing it i get myself into a few marginal situations with mixed results. Almost gettin a little cocky at times because of the amount of times ive won a pot with a draw. It has backfired a few times when ive run into a calling station thats hit a small piece of the flop.

Im just wondering at 4nl is it a sensible thing to be doing knowing that most others are playin just about any two cards.

I dont have any HH to post atm as nothing has really stuck out, but ill add one if i have an interesting hand  

had a small problem when in the multi table interface. when trying to click show cards it just greys out. i had toactually activate teh table to see my cards

edit: nvm. bloody info panel was over the top of my character :S

Why don't you move up? You surely sound like a poker god.

not really. that was just a drunken rage type. If it was any type of god would probably be one of the eight drunken immortals  

oh god. please ignore this. some state i was in. not quite fully recovered. but looking now i wish i hadnt bothered with playing.

urgh sorry  

yeah ive seen some pretty spooky hands in the sesh iv e played. some dude actually limped with 83 off and won.

i figured as its a step up from 4nl there would be a slight bit more sense in the hands played. fair enouugh its not much of a step. But the HH i posted seems a bit off. anybdy that plays 10nl reg confirm this is the sort of shit they come against usually?

tbf ive actually seen more decent folds at nl4 (the games ive actually bothered with) than the ones ive played tonight  

this wasnt a bad beat post btw. my main point was the min bet stuff. anybdy that peruses the beginners forums will tell you i dont play this lvl,,,  

well my first post in the social lounge....be gentle

Swan DIve  

so yeagh. pretty pissed 9Drunk) and obv not a nomalm forum poster so flaim on. so messing ab out and thought i take a stab at .5/.10 i was wondering wtf is it with teh min bet. its all ive seen. Now i dont proclaim myslf to be teh god of teh pokers. but i know a little and i mean LITTLE about betsizing accordng to piot. what i mean by this is i dont bet with the multi buttons. i try bet depending on pot size and whatever draw/hand i have. i know this is still considered mega low stakes but srs wtf. i thouhgt it would at least be a step up from .2/.4

also its always call call call ive not seen any raises. is this normal?

edit: i actually hate cash games. i dunno what it is can win a little or lose a lot. prefer sng. but was muckin around tonight by goin back to cash

edit2: srs wtf is this. did i play it wrong. this is whay i hate cash, i seem to get this all the time

also the reason my cash was so low in that hadn was because of the flush hunters that got me before with flush after flush.
