$400 Club

Yay, I’m over $400 between PS and UB – $278 and $126.

Swings

I’d been playing really well, more than tripled up at a table, and doubled up at 2 other tables, and got stacked at another, so I was up about $20 for the night. There had been a guy playing 68/10/2.66 over 145 hands at the table I had tripled up at. He had a larger stack than me. I had considered getting up from the table with my large win and rebuying for $5, but I decided to press on, because I figured sooner or later we’d have a confrontation, and with his maniac play, I’d collect a fat paycheck. Well, we had the confrontation. I didn’t have time to grab the hand, but I had QQ, he had AA, we both hit our flush on the river, and I got stacked. I should have let the hand go, but I was sure he had garbage based on watching his play and his PT stats at nearly 150 hands. Shame on me for not letting a $10 pot go when he went all in for more than the pot.

I ended up getting stacked at my other tables as well, and ended up really down for the night. If I bluffed, I got called. If I reraised with a good hand, I was behind a monster. I really didn’t take any bad beats for the night, so I’m bummed. I was pressing good but not great hands against loose players with sneaky better hands. I need to practice what I preach and get up, save some profit, and sit back down with my smaller amount. I’ve been doing what Mike Caro calls ‘playing your bankroll like it’s a tournament’ – you keep doubling up until you go busto and end up down. In Limit, there’s no reason to get up, you can’t get stacked. In NL, you can go for that monster win, or you can take a little off the table and grind your way up.

UB – 148.70
PS – same (80ish)

NLHE Vs. Split Pot Games

I’ve been having a conversation with Adam from http://donktasticpoker.blogspot.com/

We’ve been talking about our small bankrolls and our games. Adam prefers Omaha, Stud, and the split pot games. He’s having an issue building his bankroll, but I think he’s a good player. I think the issue is game selection. In a recent email to me, he sent me a hand history, and said that’s why he’ll never build a bankroll. It was Stud8, he had AA2, which is a great split pot starting hand. He played it aggressively, and a guy who shouldn’t have been in the hand ran into a straight for the scoop.

My response was this:

That’s ugly. I don’t think you played it wrong. You’ve got aces and a good low draw, and later hit 2 pair. It’s a good hand. You’ll build a bankroll, it’s just always 2 steps forward, 1 step backward with limit – and really with NL too.

I still think playing split games is not the best idea for a small bankroll though. You’re playing for scoops, but they are rare, which means you’re playing a lot of hands where you have to ante, plus you have to contend with a high percentage rake, so your profit is minimal on a split – that rake is cutting into your bankroll. Especially in Stud, there are so many streets, you have to invest a lot of money in your hand before it really gets defined – you’ve bet for 3 rounds for 5 cards only 2 find out your 3 card draw never went anywhere. In Hold’Em, right off the bat you know where you stand, and by the flop you’re should know whether you are way behind or way ahead, or you have a draw to the nuts and can get there cheap or push someone off a hand. Not to mention the amount of hands per hour and the fact that its harder to multitable effectively in the stud family of games.

NLHE is the way to go. I fought it for awhile, but you can’t beat 16.5 PTBB/100 over 40k hands -
PS NL ($0.02) 40012 22.5457 46.8492 78.8889 70.4348 12.7613 28.0021 $263.78 16.4813 25.0367 54.9033 4.4862 $69.80rake

Even though your BR is small, you’re better off buying in for minimum at .05/.10, playing super tight and shoving your premium hands preflop or on the flop than you are fighting that rake in split pot games.

I haven’t seen Adam’s response, but I just don’t see how you can make any money against the rake and splits. It’s really noticeable to me when I’m playing NLHE and I split the pot with another player when we both have the nuts and go all in. I lose money on the hand – 10%. If you’re playing for half the pot, the only winner is the rake – it plays perfect and wins 10% every hand.

Playing the stud family of games, you have more to keep track of and the hands take longer. With the rake being a higher percentage of the overall pot in microlimit games, you’re never going to be a longterm winner for over 2 PTBB/100. For split pots, I’d be shocked if you can get over 1 PTBB/100.

I played Limt Hold’em when I first started online. I did well at .25/.50 -

PS $0.25/$0.50 18047 22.7905 46.9369 70.5128 49.1228 20.442 28.883 $160.40 1.7776 33.5672 51.6384 6.5828 $234.70

You can see that I paid $75 more in rake than I won yet I was a 1.77 PTBB/100 player – a very solid winrate. At .01/.02 NL, I average the same $/100 than I did at .25/.50, required 75% of the bankroll I needed for limit, and earned 4x the rake.

With the popularity of NLHE, there is no shortage of games or fish. I just don’t think there is any question what any aspiring player should be playing right now – NLHE cash, and probably 6Max over full ring. More hands = more $/100. If you’re trying to build a bankroll from nothing, it’s the best way.

6max Experiment?

I’ve been checking out some blogs lately, especially people who are doing personal bankroll challenges – trying to get their BR to a certain point in x days. I’m not doing one of those challenges, because the amount I can play is limited by work and family responsibilities, but I figure I can read about them and gain some knowledge, and perhaps expand my game a bit.

The one thing I’ve taken from all these challenges is that all these people are playing 6max. I’ve always eschewed 6max because the game is very aggressive – lots of contested pots, lots of reraising. It forces you to really trust your reads and make some aggressive plays and questionable calls. You have to re-evaluate your starting hand requirements, and your postflop aggressiveness. These guys are showing me that the game is profitable though.

The big reason? More hands equals more opportunities for better decisions than your opponents. In lots of cases, people are playing 8 tables and 125 hands per hour. I’m playing 4 tables at about 55-60 hands per hour at a full table. If I could manage a winrate similar to what I have now at a full table (7 PTBB/100), I’d double my $/hour by playing twice as many hands, and making better decisions than my opponents. Really, I don’t think I could maintain that kind of winrate at 6max, but it’s leaving me curious. I do think I could play 8 tables if I had enough screen real estate, but I only have one monitor, so I’m stuck at 4.

With that in mind, I may try a little 1 week experiment – playing 4 tables of .01/.02 6 max. At the end of the week, I’ll compare my stats (PTBB/100, hands per hour, $ per hour) against my .01/02 full table stats, and see where I stand. It will slow my bankroll growth for a week, but I’m curious to see how it goes. If I can handle the aggressiveness, I may try a week at .05/.10 and see how that goes. If it’s obvious that I can’t handle it, and I lose more than 5 buyins (due to poor decisionmaking, not due to suckouts), I’ll go back to my standard game.

I’ll keep you posted on whether or not I decide to do it, and how it goes.

Food For Thought

There’s long been this idea that, when playing NLHE cash games, you need to play deep stacked in order to improve your game and your winrate. Shortstackers take a lot of heat for playing that way. The pokerati say ‘you’re limiting yourself’, ‘you’ll never learn how to play the game’, ‘poker isn’t poker when you’re all in on the flop’, ‘you don’t get implied odds’. There have been many posts on the subject at the 2+2 forums.

Interesting link: Shortstack Play

I don’t agree with everything in there, but you should read it. This isn’t the exact point being made, but what I’m taking from it is this – if you’re not able to play deepstacked and earn at a higher PTBB/100 than what you would playing a shortstack at a higher limit, then you should really think about why you’re playing deepstacked. If you’re giving better implied odds than you’re getting, maybe you should consider the shortstack approach if your bankroll is on the short side.

Update

Had a couple solid sessions at .o1/.02 on Stars. Got paid off on a couple hands. Also had a couple of second best hands with trips where I paid off, but I’m up over the past few days. I may post some hand histories when I get a chance.

Looking forward to trying out FT this weekend…

BR – Stars – 69.00, FT 12.50 = 81.50. My .01/.02 PTBB/100 is still around 17.8.

You Are Absolutely Nuts!

The table is a generic .01/.02 NL table, lots of calling and raises, not many people who want to fold, although I hadn’t been at the table very long and I had just won a $1+ pot.

I like to play suited connectors for a minimum call. However, everytime I read Sklansky’s No Limit Hold’Em Theory and Practice, he and Ed Miller stress position, and that almost any hand can be profitable on the button, so I’m trying to play more hands on the button, and JTs does have possibilities.)

An area of NLHE that I think about a lot is ‘how to extract the most money out of a hand’. I think it’s a weakness of mine. You would think this would be an easy question, but it isn’t. In this hand history, I flopped the absolute nuts – a straight flush where I held broadway cards. Sometimes you’ll flop ‘the nuts’ – an A high flush, or a straight, and your hand can still be outdrawn when the board pairs, or someone catches 2 cards to make a higher straight, but in this case, no matter what happens, I can’t be outdrawn. What is good and bad about a board like this is that people can make straights and flushes, but 3 cards of one suit on the flop usually slows everyone down. A 4th of the suit really slows everyone down unless one person has the A, and another has the K. With deepish stacks (130BB effective stacks), I think I’m destined to not get it all in there with a scary board, unless someone’s got the Ad, but I wonder if I could have gotten a little more had I played it a little more aggressively.

With the absolute nuts, how could I have played this better to get more money into the pot?

An MTT Cash And Other News

Update -

I played a couple of tourneys recently – a 5.50 NL and a 4.40 Limit – this weekend They’re kind of high for my BR at this point, but I had the time to play. I cashed in the Limit tourney:

PokerStars Tournament #47726xxx, Limit Hold’emBuy-In: $4.00/$0.40
405 playersTotal Prize Pool: $1620.00
Tournament started – 2007/04/xx – xx:00:00 (ET)

Dear Me,

You finished the tournament in 36th place. A $8.10 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

I’m a little disappointed in the outcome though. I was in the top 10 for a large portion of the tournament. The blinds moved up quickly, and I played a couple of hands that were questionable at a new table, so with about 10k and blinds of 600/1200, I felt the pressure to play some hands. 99 in MP for a raise, and 85o in the SB for a call with 2 others in the pot. I will grab the hand histories later and go over what I felt I did wrong.

In the NL tourney, I was in contention for a while, and then ran into a set vs. set situation that didn’t knock me out, but I never recovered. (I may post the set vs. set confrontation when I get a chance. While I don’t know if I could have gotten away from it or not, because I had the button, looking back, I wonder if I could have saved myself some chips.) I tried to be patient and did double up a couple times (one was a suckout where I was dominated 3-1), but in the end, I pushed all in with AQo vs a raise, a guy called, and the original raiser called. One had AKo, the other AJo, the guy with the J won the hand, and it did me in.

In other news, after swinging a deal with my poker pal Justin from grindingforpennies.blogspot.com, I’ve got $12.50 on Full Tilt. Justin highly recommends the SnG’s on FT, so I’m going to try them out and see if I can get something started there. I’ve got enough for like ten $1 MTT SnG’s. Wish me luck…

BR ~ I think it’s in the mid $70s between the 2 sites, but I haven’t tallied it in a few days.

Checking A Good Hand To Induce A Bluff, Part II

Here’s another couple of examples. The tables met the usual requirements, having a player who is very loose and willing to take a stab at a pot.

That’s a good tournament move depending on stacks, but I don’t like it as a cash game move with deep stacks, you give up too much. Pot sized bet to take it down is fine, especially after I check that A. If you get called, you have a lot of outs, and you still have your chance to get paid off on the river. It wasn’t the worst play, but it’s not something I would recommend doing.)

That’s not saying I’m 50% to win the hand, but this is exactly what I was looking for. A well disguised draw. They should think I have AK or KQ. If I take it down now, that’s fine.)

bets $0.40 (Once again, I only have a pair, but I still have my draw. At this point, I’m really trying to take the hand down. This was not a good card. It makes a straight, so my pair/trip outs are gone, but I think my flush outs may still be good)
maniac: calls $0.40 (Not surprising, but not what I wanted. I wanted that bet to take the hand down. He could have anything. Pair, straight draw, flush draw, made straight. I’m probably going to have to let the hand go on the river.)
ringaling: calls $0.40 (not surprising, but not what I wanted. I wanted that bet to take the hand down. Always check-calling)
*** RIVER *** [Kc 9d 2c Jh] [Qc]
ringaling: checks me: checks (A great card for me. I would have rather seen the Ac to know it’s not out there, but I get my flush. Not sure how I’m gonna play it, but I’m gonna check it. I’m representing that I’m giving up on the hand with AK. Based on the action I may call or raise. I can’t really put anyone on the nut flush draw based on their previous actions, but it is out there. I have a tendency assume that maniacs don’t have the big hand. Whether or not that is good, I don’t know.)
maniac: bets $0.20 (This is a really weird small bet. It gives me like 8-1 to call. My warning lights go on because it’s half the size of my turn bet. There’s a ton in the pot already, A normal bet size would have been at least half pot if he had a real hand. Betting into someone that has shown strength, he’s got to know he can get a call. My check made it look like I gave up with AK, so maybe he’s got a good hand and just wants me to call a small bet, but really, I think it’s just a weak steal.)
ringaling: calls $0.20 (just calling everything still)
me: raises $1.80 to $2 (I decide he has to have something like 2 pair or maybe T9, had a pair, and caught the straight. T9 is unlikely, because I have a 9, but it sure seems like he wants to get some value if he has the best hand, but he doesn’t like the flush on the board. I might be running into the A high flush draw, but I just think he would have raised preflop with an A. I hope he has a straight or a baby flush, even though I think he made a weak steal attempt. I’m going to get value from my hand. Against a solid player, I would just call here.)

I took a bit of a risk on that second hand. There were a lot of hands out there that could beat me – Axs, Jxs or Txs, but I felt based on my read of him as a maniac, I needed to get some value out of the hand. Again, against a solid player, I check call that, or may a small value blocking bet, but against someone that plays 80% of their cards, and plays them very aggressively, I have to assume that my hand is good.

I was fortunate that in both hands, the guys had something worth playing.

Great night for me. Basically I kept getting paid of by bad players and 2nd best hands. I had one hand where there was a big pot and I had to make a laydown, I’ll post that later.
