Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Another -$700 session, played for 2 hours. $300 of that is from a PLO hand where I flopped the nut straight with a redraw to a higher straight and a redraw to a Qhigh flush, i was up against the nut flush draw and top set.. nut flush hit and scooped a $900 pot. Holdem Hands:



















Wow that's a lot more than I expected. The first few are just bad beats that i'm posting because you don't lose to quads everyday (yet 3 times in one day, wtf god?). I actually lost once more but didn't post the hand because i left the table so quickly it didn't register :? Anyway i'm gonna post a bunch of these in the NL section to see where i'm going wrong. I had some bad luck but I wasn't playing great either.

Edited to remove the hands i've posted in the NL section.

Re-Edited to put the hands back so that I can make sense of Shobute's comments :P

Hand 1, you're joking right? (quads over quads)

Hand 2, I'm probably folding the turn.

Hand 3, no reason to call this raise OOP when you probably have to call another bet to get to showdown. (pocket 22 underpair paired board?)

Hand 4, standard.

Hand 5, fold to the river raise. Possibly check-call instead. (q-high flush on paired board)

Hand 6, raise more preflop. (qq)

Hand 7, raise more preflop. (qq)

Hand 8, good fold. Make a note on him. (JJ pushed you out on Q-high board on turn)

Hand 9, so hard to fold that river even when you're almost sure you're beat. (your flush ran into AA rivered nut flush)

Hand 10, fold to the flop raise. Your draw is obvious and you can't expect to get paid off. And you could run into a boat. (suited connector flush draw on paired flop)

Hand 11, looks good.

Hand 12, I'd bet the turn sometimes if I thought he was drawing. Otherwise I'd call the river because there's a decent chance he's on a missed draw. (your 9T vs his QT?)

Hand 13, against most players I'd 3bet all-in on the flop. (your AKs overcards vs flop minraise)

Hand 14, your river call is spew. The flop was drawless so you have to think he'll mostly be on top pair or better. (your JT on Axx flop rivered T)

Hand 15, that's fine against shortie. (AK vs K8?)

Hand 16, that's an awful turn. I wouldn't bet the turn and I would probably fold to a river bet if unimproved. (KQ on QJTx board on turn)

Hand 17, I don't especially like preflop OOP but sometimes is fine, and turn is very read dependent. (75s call OOP)

Hand 18, I'd lead the flop almost every time. (99 overpair on paired flop)

Wow, that was a lot of hands...

Hah.

Okay I just added in in brackets the hands I think they were about.
Some of them I don't remember exactly.
Should be enough though.

Thanks :P The order is still pretty fawked but I get which hands you're talking about now - thanks for taking the time to reply to em all. Initially i was going to post them all here, then I decided to split up the hands with the ones i thought i could get actual advice out of into the NL section and the ones i just got go unlucky on (ie quads over quads) or where I already know that i made a mistake in here. If that makes sense.

Dropped another couple of hundred :? Mostly thanks to this hand: And not being able to win a single coinflip..

I'm going to give Stars a go as I'm getting a bit bored of playing at Tribeca, the players are terrible yes but the constant strain of suckouts is getting a bit annoying.

MTD is sitting around $800, NOT GOOD.

Sicko. Lost a big 3-way pot last night with KK v QQ and 99 when Mr Queens rivered his set, and lost another stack with AA v KK.

Ouch, sorry to hear that! You'll get it back though, those pacific donks are just begging to play 92o to your Aces :P

On another note, I've moved to Stars and my GOD are these players weak/tight. I'm running at 37/23 at 6max and just running these tables over.. I love it :D I've moved down to NL100 for the night just to get used to it, though.
