They largely call me down with anything since I'm running them over so often.

Zybomb makes a good point with his
 - Firing second barrels at calling stations isn't typically a good idea. If they are calling you down with anything (Ace high?), I'd definitely be less inclined to bluff - especially twice.

I made a general statement about the amount of calling stations at Bodog compared to other sites. I generally don't two barrel bluff a massive calling station (and I generally stay away from continuation betting if I know they are weak and won't bluff me off if shown weakness). I second barrel bluff against people that I think can laydown second pair if shown aggression. But, if I am playing a maniac style, the people that laydown second pair against me becomes very small, so the amount of calling stations increases. I have been called a moron by at least five regulars because I play too aggressive for them, and they make some idiotic plays when facing me. I hope that made some sense (probably not).
As for results, -3K today. Lost $2K by making dumb moves at 600 NL and then took a shot at 1K NL. I would have been up for the day if I didn't lose a $3K pot as a 85-15 favorite. Sigh. |

Actually, that does make sense....
And yikes - that's one big pot. Beats like that go hand in hand with the maniac style though. But those are the kinds of beats you WANT to take once in a while. I know you know this... but getting your opponents to put all their money in drawing that slim, well, you can't ask for anything better than that. |

Help setting goals
I should probably post this in a new thread, but it seems to fit here so,...
The Facts: My current BR is ~$1000. I play casually to build my BR and improve my skill, hopefully to the point that I can start generating some "mad money". I.E.- I have no aspirations of becoming a pro. I play 2-3 hours most nights after the kiddies go to bed. Most of the time I play a couple of $25NL tables or a multi-table SnG (27-45 players, $5-$10 buy-in) with the occasional MTT thrown in on the weekends. I don't use PT or any of it's add-ons to evaluate my play, choose tables, etc. so I have no idea what my $/100 hands or %ROI is. I used to keep my SnG stats in a spreadsheet, but I was never good at recording everything. Most of my BR has been built since my return to poker in May, when it was ~$250. Questions: How much am I handicapping myself by not using PT? Will it make this hobby seem more like work, or will counting the money won make me forget about the added work? Should I be moving up in levels, $50NL and $20 SnG's? What are realistic goals at this BR and time allowance? Many people posted in this thread about winning $X this month, and I'm sure that's based on the game they play and the number of hours/hands they expect to play, but I don't know how to equate that to my situation. Yeah, that's enough for now. Thanks. |
