Attempt #2
So, basically the same results. So far, in these two attempts - i have not doubled up once, and i have obviously not sucked out once. Both of those in theory should happen once in a while. Here are my rough notes on this 6th place finish:
2nd hand - i get AA on bb, limper, raiser, caller,
i push...all fold. Nice 200 pot on second hand
early.
One out early first round. Down to 9.
Blinds go up - i hadnt played another hand. I am
4th out of 8.
Blinds go up to 20/40 - have not played another
hand yet. I ma at 1580 - 4th out of 8.
I get AK after a limper - he folds. Have to be
warry of the UTG limper.
I get J10s on SB. UTG limps so rules say to fold
it, i do. I also have to fold 8s to a middle raiser.
Blinds up to 30/60
I get JJ on cutoff - no one in, they all fold. I
am 4th out of 7.
JJ on SB.....there is a middle raiser - i fold it
per the rules. Didnt like doing that.
I have to fold A8s on bb.
Blinds up to 50/100. We still have 8. I am 4th.
I need the 4-6 handed strategy to kick in.
I just fell into middle stack category, barely.
I get 8s on the SB. UTG limper so i call. BB
raises and i dump it.
I am getting low, but we are down to 7. One more
out and i go to 4-6 handed strategy. I get JQs on
SB - all limp to me, i push....tank...pretty big
stack finally folds.
Blinds are up to 75/150. Cut off i have to push
with 2s, i dont like it. They all fold.
We are still at 7 - pretty soon i am going to be
'short'. There are three people pretty low - and
then me.
Finally down to 6. I get AJs. I push from mid
pos and all fold. I get A8 utg next hand and push,
all fold (i didnt like doing that). I am still medium.
A8off on SB....i get called by 8s on the BB after all fold to me. No spiked ace. I am out 6th.
Again - no double-ups. No break on the A8 vs 8s. I think i will try one more tonight and then i am done. I will try to enter the strategies tomorrow or the next day.
