Well today was going about as horrible as possible, losing every hand etc. But near the end of my final session I found a table with a total maniac. The kind who is probably 15 beers in and open shoving every other hand. Hurray, I can finally make some money now.
So first we will make the standard call with King high for 250bb. Oh wat...Pokerstars?

Well lets try this again. This time I have a Jack and a 7, they are suited. I also have the button which is kind of overkill. Since there is some postflop action in this hand I will leave my thought processes below in blue

Hero (BTN): $13.62
SB: $4.29
Maniac: $26.57
UTG: $13.51
UTG+1: $4.61
MP1: $13.96
MP2: $5
CO: $7.80
Pre-Flop: 7 J dealt to Hero (BTN)
3 folds, MP2 raises to $0.15, CO folds, Hero calls $0.15, SB folds, Maniac raises to $0.50, MP2 folds, Hero calls $0.35
MP2, who opens the pot, is a 10/4 supernit reg. I would probably flat him here even without the maniac behind. LOL when he folds to the maniac's reraise. Pay attention much?
Flop: ($1.17) J 8 K (2 Players)
Maniac bets $0.20, Hero raises to $1.35, Maniac raises to $2.50, Hero raises to $13.12 and is All-In, Maniac calls $10.62
Hmm. I have middle pair. He is crazy. I raise...I'm all in.
Turn: ($27.41) 5 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Hero showed 7 J and WON $26.05 (+$12.43 NET)
Maniac showed Q 9 and LOST (-$13.57 NET)
Yay
Unfortunately this story does not have a happy ending as the maniac lost the rest of his money to another supernit who woke up with aces.
hey rain, i appreciate the advice u gave me on the tilt factor, the one about looking back on what you have won in the past was a big help, makes u reanalize what you have done to win in the past and straight away tells u if ur a winning player or not, plus ive been watching the hands i play especially the losing ones to see if i made a mistake or could of played it better also, good job what you have done after moving up, clean up 10/25 when you go for it!! imagine how nice its gonna be when u can play poker for an hour or 2 and have enough money for the whole week, thats my aim for 1 day, but hopefully even more...later dawg
ReplyDeleteyup np, gl man.
ReplyDeleteI have been playing mostly 10NL deep ante tables lately, with some 5NL mixed in when there are not enough 10NL deep tables running. While this level is still highly beatable, I do miss those supernit regs you just mentioned...the 8/6 and 10/4s with a cbet percentage of 95% and fold to flop raise percentage of 70%...soooo exploitable.
