6 max Goodness (Forum Challenge)

Talking Poker · #1 02-02-06, 01:28 AM

I like how JD hasn't played yet, and he's clobbering us all.

We're the best 6 maxers EVER!

Talking Poker · #2 02-02-06, 01:30 AM

I just checked..... I have had exactly one session of 5/10 6 max worse than this... EVER. And I should have the record very soon.

THAT is an achievement in itself, right there.

Ok, boys... here's something for you to shoot for. I actually had this back to only -$450, but was at a REALLY juicy table with two HUGE donks, so naturally, they whooped on me pretty good.

BTW, I actualkly tracked myself at 1 hand and $65 worse than this, but can't explain the difference.... I'm almost sure I'm right too, based on my bankroll on the site.

Maybe a connection problem during a (very bad) Hand being written? I know.... I'll have PArty email me my last 100 and import those. If it happens to be in there, that will catch it, otherwise, I don't know what to do. Just forget it, I guess....?

The HH Request / Import worked (2 new hands, in fact). I'm too honest for my own good.

Damn, that's one hell of a bad session.

We are brutal.

Why am I so tight? General starting hand guide anyone? I've kinda been following the one Pshabi posted a long time ago, but I'm still way too tight.

PShabi · #7 02-02-06, 08:35 AM

Hmmmm.

I would venture you aren't stealing or defending enough. Also, 3-betting w/ position with med. pairs. For instance, if Rogue raised UTG, I'd 3-bet someone with his range with a lot of hands:

77 on up
AJ - AK
KQ even

I find myself picking up a lot of pots UI with aggression against "solid" players that way. Remember, most of the time, you both miss the flop.

You're going to have to get used to showing down more. Knowing when to let the rope out, call down, and let them hang themselves.

Post hands. I had a couple emailed to me and I'll be posting them later.

What's going to be great about this is people are going to see me reporting everyday for the next two weeks. Now, some of you non-believers are going to see the rollercoaster ride on a daily basis. Hopefully, I can have a nice 100 bet swing for everyone to "oooh and ahhhh" at. Up would be nice. Down would be funny.

Anyway, round 2 starting right now. I've got 4500 hands left.

Talking Poker · #9 02-03-06, 12:52 AM

I know the swings of this game better than anyone... well, I should... but I'm literally breaking my personal worst records here. Down 100 BBs? Try 114. BAM.

What... the... fuck?

Combine all the second best hands with all the bad beats (5 outers, 2 outers, gutshots and everyone's favorite - the runner runners) PLUS me playing badly (I've made a number of one bet errors ON TOP OF me playing too loose preflop and getting myself into trouble), and it's a disaster.

I think I may take a day or two off and try to come back with a clear head. It's actually going to be tough for me to get back to even right now. Even with my average win rate for another 3600 hands, I'd still be a bit short.

Damn....

PShabi · #10 02-03-06, 01:01 AM

I mashed tonight.

To date:

Up $145.52 through 883 hands.

Talking Poker · #11 02-03-06, 01:02 AM

Nice job, kid.

I really, really, really hope I am able to turn this around. This is just...... well.... sad.

Unofficial leader

Talking Poker · #13 02-03-06, 02:06 AM

Unofficially NOT IN THE CONTEST, whimp!

Damn, I suck. My new goal is to get to $1 by the end, so I can put my $50 in play.

Piece of cake.
