I get in for a check pre flop, dont really want to be playing K3 but flopped Kings up.
Bet out thing it was either half or 3/4 of the pot, which id been doing most of since the start and was picking up pots that way. On this occassion player x calls, and the turn comes a duece. I dont suspect he has a deuce mainly because of the call on the flop. I bet he calls.
River comes a Q i suspect maybe KQ which would mean hes rivered me, but i decide against that and call, feel kind of stupid when he shows the duece.
In Response to Re: ASK IRISHROVER LOW STAKES SPECIALIST A POKER QUESTION : Ty Alan [ my offical stalker ] for the questions , well you did say be honest right here goes lol . In your last 250 games a lot of which were bounty hunters [ bh ] On bh games you invested over £ 500 and are shown a loss of over £400, Taking the bh games out you would be shown a healthy profit on on the rest of the 250 games you played . so yep stick to other games like deepstacks & forum s&gs i note from playing on these with you , that you do great on these and yes your stats prove this . I think also you have the waiting game and moves to profit well on dym games . Denis Posted by IRISHROVER
Thank you for your honest assessment Denis, I do appreciate it.
Yes, I think I should give the B/H amiss for a while. The only reason I was playing so many I suppose was that I have actually won a few including the £1500 & £750 ones plus the £22 buy in once.
I will now play more deep stacks and hopefully try to sat in to some of the bigger games with them bigger boys and try to hold my own. That is one of the reasons I want to increase my return to attempt them games TBH.
I will endeavour to try out some more DYM's as well but sometimes dont have the patience and start 'dancing' after a while.
Thank you once again Denis....see you in a forum SnG soon I hope mate.
Not so much a question on low level play but do you have any advice on brm, and on how to stop chasing losses?
I could have £200 in my account lose a fiver, and id move up the levels to try and win it back and end up losing the lot.
Just this weekend I was playing £5 dym's donig ok nothing spectacular won 3 in a row, bubbled in the 4th so moved up to £11 when if anything i should have moved down.
Also any advice on how to stay away from vegas and the horses? i also go chasing loses on there and again end up blowing the lot.
Now a question which you can probably help with, from looking at me with sharkscope whats my most proiitable game? when i say profitable its probably more a case of which one do i lose less at?
I love playing the bigger games, im going bank now to put some more money in my account it wont be much but I just know ill end up playing the £22 deepy tonight, which will be the majority of my br if not all of it, I know i should play the t-0-t over this.

Anyway any adivce would be great, Gareth Posted by 35suited
Ty for the questions Gareth,
you lose less at £5 double your money games [ dym ] ,
i note you lose most at £20 / £30 & £50 dym .
you would be showing a very healthy profit if you focus in on
£5 , it may be that you feel comfortable in this buy in zone .
Now try this sign up for sharkscope its around £100 for 12 months ,
go for the 150 searches option .
Look at the above cost as an investment in yourself .
IF you profit over £10 a month its payed for itself !
From here you can search for soft tables ,
don't worry i will help you on line at first with this, just seek me out on the
skypoker tables .
From here you can do very quick notes on players .
Hi Irish, My question is, whats a good measure of knowing when your ready to move up the levels in micro stakes? I have been 2 tabling 4NL for a while and have got my bankroll up from a low of £25 back up to £60 in two months. I probably only play half an hour each night on average, so although I am moving in the right direction slowly I'm not exactly playing a great volume. Do you think I should start taking shots at the next level once I reach say £80? Posted by Patching99
Hi patching if you move up to nl8 with £80 you are giving yourself only 10 buyins and you will have 2 buy ins in play at one time. I dont think this would be gd bankroll management. I think it would be best for you to carry on grinding at nl4 at the moment.
If you only play a small amount of poker maybe wait untill you reach £100/£120 and 1 tb nl4 and 1 tb of nl8. But remember if you start to lose a nl8 dont be afraid to drop back down and rebuild the roll again.
gl at the tbs wotever u decide to do patching99 and enjoy your poker because thats wot its all about
i play mainly 1/2 dyms, with the occasional 2.20 ds or totty. what, in your opinion, is the best way to consistantly make money, as i can't. saying that i have only been playing poker since feb this year so maybe expecting too much too soon.

Hi Lozgo and Ty for the questions ,
I had a look at your monthly stats & your last 250 games .
At present you are as you say yourself in the learning process.
You can speed this learning process up by doing the following :
Remain around the same buy in circle & keep notes on players .
Be honest with yourself if you are playing poorly,
note it down and try iron this out .
If you run good for a period of time , note down what you are doing right .
As you progress keep notes on moves that work for you and new things
that you are learning about this game .
Don't tilt ,
tilt is for wimps lol !
If you read back a bit on this thread ,
you will find advice i have posted on how to deal with
minimizing loses on tilt or on a bad run .
At present the games you are playing are well suited for you ,
maybe play a little more of the £ 2 deepstacks .
Lozgo If you have any questions on above don't hesitate to ask !

Thanks for the advice Ozzie and will definatley take it on board, I can see why it will be good to have more than 10BI's and a bit longer at 4NL won't hurt. I know 20BI is recommended so will eventually aim to get upto this.

mucho cheers Denis. just started to try the 2.20 deepies and will carry on with them. not forgetting the 2.20 totty. best of luck on the tables. Laurie
Hi Irishrover. Nice dog gave you a bone for your birthday. !! Just like to know what it Say's on sharkscope about me, am I a fish, or what, told you have to be a member to look. The Stats they hold on players does it depend on how much you make BR or how many games you win. Players are folding to my raises and I am not getting value from them. One Player said Sharkscope said I was US.? He must know me then.? Does Sky allow Sharkscope to have this information on players. Not complaining just curious can i stop them knowing this information. Just been told members have to pay to down load the Information from Sharkscope, so dont bother to look me up, dont want it to cost you money, but having said that why on earth would anyone want that Information on me when I only play 30p 60p games. ?

Ty Logdon for the questions ,
In regards to your sharkscope data ,
Unfortunately you have lost in the last 5 consecutive months.
yes you can stop players from finding this info on sharkscope
just seek me out tonight on skypoker and i will help you with all above .
If you have any other questions i will help out also .
Hiya Rover, I'm currently just playing the £2.20 deepstacks and am doing fairly well I also sometimes play the Orfordable 10- seater ones. My question is what would you advise as an appropiate amount of buy-ins for playing tournement poker to avoid going broke after a bad run ?
Hi Irish Can i find out on sharkscope how many Final Tables i have been on since 8th June 20009 for MTT's & if so how? & how much does it cost Cheers m8 michael Posted by DTWBANDIT
Ty for the questions michael,
you get to view your last 250 games ,

its around £100 for 12 months ,
go for the 150 searches option .
