DJ Barry Hammond Posted 16 October 2009 Posted 16 October 2009 Strong play limping up front with AA's! Wouldn't reccomend it to a beginner though. That is perfect for heads up play - not much else (especially if previous to that you have raised almost any decent hand) For some reason they just don't pick up the change in tactics (or others they flook it). That is the one annoying thing about internet poker - you beat the guy hands down in thinking, but will still end up losing. Most satisfying hand recently - limp raise from a guy who I knew had Ace, Queen for some reason - figured I may as well go in with the 7 2, the raise was nothing and it was me and him. 2 comes up on the flop, rest looks pretty dry for him yet he goes all in - I figure I'm not letting this donk get away with it, type Ace Queen? in the player chat and call. The 2 holds - commence the ****'s over time on player chat!

You are winning every time you make a bet and get called, pre-flop, flop, turn, and then bam on the river they hit flush or something! The worst is when they are betting on flush draw cos 2 clubs say came out on flop but they only have 1 club in their hand. They keep calling your bets then hit 2 more running clubs. I've had people call my all-in after flop when the only possible way they can win is by hitting 2 running suits, and they win. It's a heartbreaker

I really enjoy playing live as I think I have an edge reading, online it becomes tougher against bad players.
BoneDog Posted 17 October 2009 Posted 17 October 2009 Anyone watching the Party Poker Womens Open on FiveUSA? There's been some silly bets if you ask me! And a couple of great bluffs have won when they were beat hands down.
BoneDog Posted 17 October 2009 Posted 17 October 2009 just came 3rd in a $20 rebuy on full tilt Is a rebuy one of them tournies with loads of players? If so, that must of been quite a bit of cash to win! I've been in a $3 one with over 2000 players but only made about 150th just outside the money

If so, that must of been quite a bit of cash to win!I've been in a $3 one with over 2000 players but only made about 150th just outside the money It's where people who get knocked out can buy back in until the first break of the tourney, and then at the break they can buy another 2000 chips for $20. I only had one rebuy and I added on and cashed a good 4 figure sum. Definitely the best score I have had.

Find that format very stressful, although the prize pool gets very big the amount of donks you get just shoving it in for the sake of a quick double up is ridiculous. I've been playing a lot of 6 max lately, much prefer the format, a lot more poker involved and when you get a good table they're very profitable.

Simi Posted 20 October 2009 Posted 20 October 2009 cash game or sit and go? MTT's mostly, best suits my style of play. I get so impatient with cash games I just end up losing money in the long term. Wish I had the style for it, but can't seem to keep consistent with it at the moment. What's your area?

What's your area? single table sng or if i have a bit more time i play a mtt cant stand cash games, i've lost so much money on them if i have a bit of money i sometimes play 100 dollar double or nothing cause i'll win more times than i lose with them

I play a lot of 180 player sit and go's and that works out well most of the time, then enter a couple of 3000+ plus events if I have the time.

Pete_foxes Posted 20 October 2009 Posted 20 October 2009 Ok so... Firstly just try to enjoy yourself, if your new to poker I think some of the most experienced players will not have a clue what hand you have but then you may not know either , A second point is to not be bullied into folding when you have a good hand, something I did all too often when I had just started playing and when they turned there cards over I on occasions would have a better hand and would have won the hand had I stood strong. I think a good tip to start is to limit yourself to only playing good hands perhaps limit yourself to AA KK QQ JJ 1010 99, AK, KQ, QJ, J,10, and perhaps if your cards are consecutive and suited the same e.g. 10,9 of hearts, this gives you more opportunity to get a better hand as you've got potential to hit both a flush and a straight. I guess also don't feel the need to play every hand, this is a common mistake (me included) as everyone who starts wants to be part of the action all the time, this is a definite way to run out of chips. Anyway... enjoy its a cracking game.
Unabomber Posted 21 October 2009 Posted 21 October 2009 wow, that's what you call a profit. I only make $9 a game in the double or nothings! It's a great profit if you withdraw but if you wack a couple of grand on 10 20 cash games it can soon hurt! Anyway my area is mainly $1/$2 plo 6 max cash tables. Pot limit Omaha will over take NL holdem as the most popular form of poker in the next two years easily.

Pot limit Omaha will over take NL holdem as the most popular form of poker in the next two years easily. I've only played PL Omaha once. I went in a table by accident (thought it was NL Hold Em) and didn't have a clue what I was doing! I'm gonna have to learn that one and see if I like it

Defintley, I wish they'd show more mixed games on TV, especially with Poker After Dark, High Stakes and the WSOP. Just found out by the way that I've qualified for the regionals on Sunday.

Ended up finising 19th (I think), think about 60 entered. Not best pleased with how I went out. Had AK vs K6, what can you do though!
BoneDog Posted 26 October 2009 Posted 26 October 2009 I just had my 2nd game of Pot Limit Omaha and came 9th. Out of 10 As I was going out though I realised the main rule. You have to use 2 of your hand cards and 3 of the table cards! I thought I could use 1,2,3 or all 4 of my hand cards. Looks like this game requires a bit more thinking than Hold Em unless it's just confusing me cos I weren't sure of the rules. Gonna have another crack on a $1 to see if I can get used to it

Gonna have another crack on a $1 to see if I can get used to it Omaha is very hard to win, personally i would leave that alone El Empty. Because you can get the nuts on the flop and still end up losing, and people just bet big or go all in when they have loads of possible outs (because they have 4 cards) and normally hit it. Most hands on there, if they make the river, someone would have won it on the river most of the time. You may hit an ace high flush but you will probably lose to a full house, and if you get a full house you will probably lose to a better full house So be wary. Although i do enjoy playing it a little because you have to think a lot more about what you could hit, and what they could/have hit.

I think you might be right, I just had another go and lost with what I thought were good hands. It is very hard compared to Hold Em. I usually make a bit on Hold Em without getting too stressed. This Omaha seems like too much hard work for me!
BoneDog Posted 2 December 2009 Posted 2 December 2009 Does anyone know why on cash tables if an all in gets called pre-flop or after the flop that the other persons cards are not turned over until a few seconds after the river? On cash tournies or Sit n Go's if there is an all-in called both players cards are turned over before the rest of the cards are drawn and I don't get why it is different on cash tables. I like to see what I'm up against as the cards are being drawn and I thought that is what is supposed to happen in all poker games

Either way, you are entitled to see the other persons cards so if you want you can ask to see them, I'm pretty sure about that. It is annoying when someone doesn't turn the cards over and they end up slow-rolling you when they hit their card on the river. If you're online and you want to see though, you can just check the hand-histories.
