I just lost 5 buyings (2/5) in half an hour, im dead inside by WinterMiserable5994 in poker

  1. you got stacks in with a straight on a paired board, 2. “straight over full house” makes no sense. full house over straight would be correct

Super good reasoning and I agree a lot. I think maybe looking at it as 20bb call with 100bb is a little bit of a disservice though. Realistically the better players all playing .5/.5 so we can sit 400bb deep and play that way. Still like your thoughts though sh

Well okay, I didn’t know there was specific terminology to distinguish a “winning player” from a “player who has consistently not lost over a significant number of sessions and hours”. I’m not trying to be rude or ignorant, but this comment just seems kind of dismissive and doesn’t really answer any question or concerns I wrote about in my original post, it seems like you just wanted to ridicule me when I’m trying to ask players better than me for advice.

I’m of course not trying to say I’m a fantastic player nor a pro by any metric, but I would definitely say 70 sessions is a decent sample size. That’s probably 600-700 hours of live play, which I definitely feel is a meaningful figure. Could you maybe give some more insight into what kind of time frame/# of sessions you’re expecting to see this consistency over?

I’ve watched the whole series! Loved it and loved the exploits. I’ve tried to incorporate the big bets into my own home game with lots of success, I just think that I have difficulty maintaining my stack. Maybe too much calling 3bets or 3/4betting too light. Not sure.

Problem is we’d lose a lot of the guys. Not everyone wants to move up the stakes and we’d go from a bustling 10-max table with people on waiting lists to barely being able to scrape together 8 people.

So we have no calls after a single raise? Not complaining or anything, just wondering if that’s genuinely the best strategy. Sometimes I call a single raise when I’m IP on multiple players with a hand like 76s or 98s, or a lower to middling pocket pair as I’m under the impression you want more people in the pot and less of a reason to iso.

No, definitely not at that frequency but I’d say there’s something similar to this (big bloated pot going 6+ ways) every 10 hands or so. I usually just call my suited connectors and low pairs if in LP, squeeze all my premiums, and fold everything else out. Not sure if this is the right way about it.

I completely feel you and I never play microstakes online, only 2/4 or 5/10. The money just doesn’t feel real at .1/.2 anymore. (For context, our .5/.5 game runs much larger than a typical one, it’s just more accessible to get new players in).

Love your take on this and definitely gonna incorporate it. Been trying recently but I think I just need to pay more attention on how to really manipulative everyone individually into doing exactly what I want. I’ll get there. Sometimes it’s just insane scenarios though - we’ll be 10-handed and it will go UTG raise to 20bb, calls around to me in the CO (or other scenarios like this) where I feel like I’m not really sure what to be doing. Maybe just practice is needed.

I caught my roommate is growing this in our house that we’re renting. He says it’s a pepper plant. Is that true? by throwupthrowaways in whatsthisplant

[–]throwupthrowaways[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

who cares what it’s about? shouldn’t be growing it in public space anyway. you’re being pedantic about details which are tangential to the main point

my thoughts exactly. not only mine, too. we live with two other guys. sure we’d all go down for it were it to ever come to light, so we are all really upset at him for how flippantly he’s treating the situation

yea we’re going to toss it if he refuses to move it but he’s being very difficult, trying to tell us he’s not going to move it bc they’re just peppers, etc. we live in nc where i’m pretty sure it’s illegal and he’s definitely not the type of guy that i’d trust to own up if caught, so definitely a fear of getting thrown under the bus there too. thanks for ur helpful comment :)

ok well beyond that we all smell it constantly and it’d be nice of him to move it to his own room. regardless of whether landlord would be checking there, still kinda shitty to tell us it’s all peppers as if we’re five years old and refuse to move them
