So for the first time since early June I played more than 200 hands on Stars. This is after a massive spew session playing Rush yesterday. I accumulated some frustrations playing too much at this always frustrating level and gave up about 3 buyins after being up early on. I can blame some spew on […]
I have to look at this one ’cause I don’t know why he doesn’t call this. Flop pot is 0.75, he bets .50, I call. On the turn the pot is 1.75, he bets .95, I raise to 1.90, he raises to 5.00. Pot is now 8.65, to call I have to put in 2.20 […]
A while back I made a conscious change in my Rush Poker game. I know that I’m better than most players at $10nl Rush simply because 1) my total bankroll of winnings would allow me to play, eh, maybe $50nl Rush if I wanted to, but I don’t have a lot of the bankroll on […]
This happens when you’re not paying attention. I raise KK, then look back to see “all in”. I assume that I’ve bet into a short stack who has shoved so I call. Then when I look back at this table as the flop comes I wonder why I have no chips left. My first thought […]
You can’t do that when you’re deep! Awful flop for overpairs, but still, I don’t like his 3 bet on the flop. I’ve got 48 hands on him so if he uses a tracker then he has the equivalent on me, but I’m not overly aggressive postflop other than continuation betting. This deep, I think […]
Always gotta post the interesting ones. Almost no hands, but he does know how to 3 bet. I flat because no matter what his style I’m way ahead of his 3 bet range. Yucky flop, but if he’s got AK I’m ahead so I just call. Yuckier turn, but it still could be a medium […]
Some very general observations from $10nl FR Rush as I start to grind it again: Somewhere there’s got to be a bot strategy floating around for 40 bb stacks, or, these are actual bots, ’cause I run across this particular type of player all the time. Characterized by: Weird stats of 12/11 with steal of […]
Rush again. Again just posting the weird hands. Not many hands on this guy, I figure QTs is good enough for an iso-raise from the button. He calls. I flop top pair, he check/calls. Ace comes but gives me a flush draw so I bet again and he calls. If he paired the ten or […]
Still more Rush. Maybe I’m actually gearing up to play poker again. SB is aggressive but I only have like 8 hands so far on him. AQ is ahead of his raising range and it’s vulnerable so I 3 bet. But is AQ ahead of his 4 bet range? Next hand, this isn’t a great […]
So I’m actually playing some poker during the past few days, though it’s pretty much all still Rush poker. The convenience just hooks me. Actually getting close to earning the $100 target that I set before moving to $25nl, but I dunno; it’s like it’s not real so I don’t feel as if I’m keeping […]
Not much playing, not much mental focus. I did donk a $2.20 180 seat turbo. Took 1.5 hours or something, most of which I played while re-typing something that needed to be done. Finished second for $74. Sadly, that’s like my biggest poker accomplishment of the summer. But I had to post this hand. I’ve […]
