Doing Better at $1/$2
Since I updated last Saturday, I've been playing a little but not too much. On Sunday I played some $1/$2 and did pretty well. Over about 4 hours I won just over $400. Weirdly, I didn't really play any big pots. I just ran well and played small ball for most of it.
I then played some more yesterday and did well. Last night I had an interesting hand where I flopped a set of 9s on an A95 rainbow flop. A really tight player (who was also the preflop raiser) put in a 3rd raise on the flop and I sort of considered folding. I ended up moving in over his 3rd raise for a little bit more and he only had AKs. It was so weird for him to play the hand this way -- I thought the only hands he could have were AA and 55 (leaning more heavily towards AA since he raised some limpers). Does he think I'm going to go nuts with AQ here? This was just a weird hand by him. I woulda insta-folded AK when someone put in a 2nd raise on this flop unless my opponent was a total retard. He actually accused me of a slow-roll since I took some time after he put in the 3rd raise on the flop. I felt bad cause there's really no way I was actually gonna fold, but it did require some thought.
I then played a bunch this morning and was able to stack two guys -- one guy with 77 vs. AT on a 47AT2 board and the other guy with TdTc vs. ThTs on a 4h2d7d5d7d board. Sweet that I hit the freeroll in the 2nd one; I never hit those.
So far I've almost cut my losses in half from the debacle a couple of weeks ago. I'm feeling a more comfortable in the game and I am running a little better. It feels good, and I think I'll stay in this game as long as things keep going ok.
In addition to playing the cash games this morning, I played a PLO tourney and didn't go anywhere. I was in the top 10 in chips or so almost an hour in (only like 150 entrants) when the following hand occurred. A loose, bad player in MP opens with a pot-raise, all fold, I call in the SB with Ad2d3h4s, BB folds. The flop comes Ah9h3c. I check, he bets 800 (pot size), I c/r the 3200 (pot size), he moves in for 1200 more, I say "oops" and am surprised to be well ahead of his Kh7h4c6s. He gets there with the 5h on the river and I give up most of my chips. I love PLO.
One more thing I want to do is to keep track of ome of my results here. So far, here are my overall results in the NL cash games.
$0.5/$1: $3406.70, 9673 hands, 17.61 ptbb/100
$1/$2: -$1130.95, 3863 hands, -7.32 btbb/100
And my bankroll is currently $8352.72. I guess this is pretty good considering that it was down to $2700 about 4 months ago.
I also have the home game tonight, which I plan on winning. Good luck to everyone who's
playing against me.
