Runner runner sucks!

Tuesday 7 August 2007

So im sat at a table of .05/0.10 with a pretty loose image, raising good hands but throwing out a lot of big continuation bets.

And so this one hand happens where i know this guy has nothing and is gonna try and outplay me. So i flop a set of queens and make my standard continuation bet, he min raises. I know that if i reraise him here he will actually think i have a hand and fold - and with a set here i want the action.

So i call and check raise him on the turn. He calls having picked up a flush draw and of course rivers me making the flush with his 8Ts.

Update!

Ok so i know i havn't posted on this in forever but i thought i would update it a little bit. Im going to miss out a huge chunk of rather unexciting stuff which basically consists of me losing a little money (but not too much, mostly profits).

So at the moment I have finally got round to playing within my bankroll and sensibly!! I have been grinding the $3.40 10 player sng's on stars and finding them pretty easy to make a profit from if i play properly and dont get too involved with hands too early on.

The trick to them is to pretty much sit out for the first maybe 1/2 hour, playing only the premium hands where you know you can make chips on. Once the blinds get to the 75/150 level theres 225 in the pot to start so you can pretty much push with any resonable hand to pick up the blinds. As the blinds increase there is a lot more to steal so maybe around the 100/200/25ante level and beyond ill try and steal 2 pots a rotation. If i get away with a few of these i make a ton of chips and am usually in the chip lead about this position.

Obviously once you have such a lead in chips u can happily push all in every hand and even if you are called and lose you are probably left with more chips than u would have been if you wernt stealing.

So anyway my sharkscope is looking a little better, at least its on the up again!

I have also, today started playing cash games again, playing pretty tight and only at low stakes (.05/.10) even so today i have managed to make around $50 in around 400 hands.

Bankroll: $225
