Gump has finally lost his mind

You might look at this hand and say 'OMG - WTF!'. And yet, if I knew my opponents exact hand this was about the only way I'm getting his stack. Villain is pretty ABC TAG and so am I.....usually.

Pure genius or donkeriffic?

There is indeed a very good explanation for this hand.

Bow down to the King

KK has cost me a bunch lately. It really has been bizarre and got me a little snakebit with this hand.

On Poker Academy I had:
- KK into AA. And not your typical preflop KK into AA type scenario. I limped from UTG, player behind me limps with AA, a LAG in late position raises, I reraise, player behind me with AA (that had limped behind) now pushes. Wow.
- KK into QQ. Allin preflop, busted to a set of course.

On Pokerstars::
- KK into AA. Somehow managed to dodge that bullet. They guy had been playing pretty tight and thanks to Bastin, a quick look at the Pokerlisting site labelled the guy a 'Shark'.
- KK into AQs. This one was a peach. Guy calls pot bets to river chasing the flush. With 50c left in his stack on the river, he gets there. :/

I'm only down about 1 buyin at Stars so not too bad after all.

Multiple levels of thinking

Sandman's recent post reminded me about this Sklansky concept. Most are familiar with it but I see a lot of people fall down when it comes to 'thinking one level above your opponent'.

If you start doing this, microstakes really isn't half as bad as some make out.


http://www.thepokerbank.com/multiple-level-thinking.html

What Does Multiple Level Thinking Mean To You?

Now that you know about each of the levels and how complicated the thought processes can become, what exactly can you use this kind of information for? The main reason as to why it is important to know about the different levels of thought is so that you can save yourself from playing incorrectly against different types of players. There is no point playing at level 3 if your opponent is playing at level 0, because there is no need to consider what your opponent thinks you have if they don’t even have any idea about what they are holding themselves. You will just be ‘over thinking’ the situation and wasting you time and effort.

Therefore to beat each type of player, you should always stick to thinking at one level above your opponents only. If you find that a player is only concerned about what they are holding and playing at level 1, you will be able to beat them by thinking about what they might be holding and playing at level 2. Therefore you should be able to bluff them successfully whereas they will not as they are not giving any thought to the strength of your hand. There is no need to make extravagant plays against a low level thinker because they will have no idea about what is taking place, which will make it more likely that your ‘advanced’ play will backfire.

So for every opponent you play against, simply play at the level above him or her and you should be able to employ a successful winning poker playing style against them. The higher the level of thought you can use effectively the better, but also be prepared to adapt depending on the level of your opponents. This applies to all levels from 0 and above.

Five little Omaha hands

After a little searching I discovered this site:

http://www.propokertools.com/simulator/omahaSimulationEditor.jsp

I really been struggling with the odds but I plan to review all key hands so eventually I'll have a better idea of my odds.

The first hand shows the importance of having four cards that work together and multiple draws. On the flop I figured I had the nuts and/or the villain was freerolling to a flush draw. When I saw the villains holding, I thought I was a small dog. The stats afterwards shocked me.

The second hand I figure Bastin planned to CR the flop. Would like to hear his comments though! Yet again, I actually thought my equity a little higher. Bastin actually caught me by surprise as I didn't notice him there until he bet the turn.

The third hand I misread the board on the river. I'm such a donk at this game!

The fourth hand just shows how much AA devalues after the flop. Out of position, I throw out a solid bet if the board looks safe, then I'm pretty much done with the hand.

And to the final hand, I flopped trips but I just don't like my hand out of position. Typically, I'm looking to check/call then hopefully fill up. The comment at the end was just to build the suspense. ;)


During current Omaha session you were dealt 59 hands and saw flop:
- 3 out of 7 times while in big blind (42%)
- 6 out of 6 times while in small blind (100%)
- 12 out of 46 times in other positions (26%)
- a total of 21 out of 59 (35%)
Pots won at showdown - 4 of 6 (66%)
Pots won without showdown - 0

Different path, same destination

Played few more hands tonight as the fish were biting. I have been finding relatively short/sharp sessions of around an hour or two are more productive.

I had some good seats with the soft spots to my right. I jumped out of the blocks with an over-set and won a few more nice pots, but then gave some back when a few flushes got there against me. I lost about a half buyin with flopped trips against a turned higher set, and I got outplayed when a player slow played a flopped flush and to hit runner runner 2 pair to pay off a river bet.

Otherwise, I still finished up a buyin but it was more volatile than previous sessions.


During current Hold'em session you were dealt 265 hands and saw flop:
- 15 out of 32 times while in big blind (46%)
- 5 out of 32 times while in small blind (15%)
- 20 out of 201 times in other positions (9%)
- a total of 40 out of 265 (15%)
Pots won at showdown - 6 of 14 (42%)
Pots won without showdown - 15

Steady as she goes

Another solid session. Finished up a buyin and a half over maybe 90 mins of play, four tabling. The showdowns are higher than normal as I was calling down some LAG's pretty light. Fortunately my radar was on tonight.

Yet again, I dumped 21 small blinds. When you think about it, it's only $2.10 at 25NL, or around 2 standard preflop raises. There's all sorts of pros and cons to doing this:

Cons
- for only a half bet I might flop a monster
- when i fold my SB in an unraised pot I'm flagging I'm a tight player

Pros
- the game becomes simpler as I'm getting into less ugly spots out of position
- i might actually flop a 2nd best monster. A not-so-rare example might be capping with 75s, getting a 772 flop then losing a big pot to someone with A7.



During current Hold'em session you were dealt 227 hands and saw flop:
- 15 out of 26 times while in big blind (57%)
- 4 out of 25 times while in small blind (16%)
- 23 out of 176 times in other positions (13%)
- a total of 42 out of 227 (18%)
Pots won at showdown - 8 of 9 (88%)
Pots won without showdown - 12

Coke in green glass bottles

I never cease to be amazed by the Internet. Tonight I stumbled across this little gem. Some clever person has animated parts of my favorite ever graphic novel, which coincidentally is also being made into a film next year. I just hope for the writers sake (and other Alan Moore fans) they don't dumb the movie down like they did for 'V for Vendetta'.

A few drips, a big drop

Here's my stats from a fairly typical session:

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 157 hands and saw flop:
- 12 out of 17 times while in big blind (70%)
- 1 out of 17 times while in small blind (5%)
- 10 out of 123 times in other positions (8%)
- a total of 23 out of 157 (14%)
Pots won at showdown - 6 of 6 (100%)
Pots won without showdown - 7

Fairly uneventful for the most part. I finished up maybe half a buyin. For the most part I was card dead and 14% is pretty low even for me. There is one stat that sticks out but is fairly standard for me. It's also one of the biggest changes I've made to my game this year.
