craigcu12

this week seem to have been a good week for straight flushes
the best one was this but i can't see him ever getting called by a weaker suited card only K and 8 would have called here i think.

at the minute i seem to be hitting more straight flushes than quads and any quads i do get are just getting weak pots.

craigcu12

the way the tables have been this hour has cost me £10 because they seem way to passive.
if the villians are going to fold why are they betting and calling in the first place?
after weak bet on the flop and check the turn he does a bet yet my raise gets him to fold

Craig,

I dont think its as much "didn't understand they are behind"

I think its more they see their cards, AT,TT whatever and just have no intention of folding. I keep saying, weekend players just give no consideraion to what other people might have. They just get it in and see what happens.

How come you only at £100 odd roll? you always seem to be doing well.

Posted by calcalfold

some of my losses have came from tourneys i.e that mini i entered today which i lost all my chips when that villian called with A8o and hit the flush i did have a very heavy loss earlier this week when lots of villians were calling with rubbish and hit the card they needed on the river so my bankroll become about £60 but now i have managed to get it back to £92 thanks to a decent night session after then few upsets.

calcalfold

Ah right, seen you about for a while, would have thought you were on a few hundred by now. Usually up when I see you.

craigcu12

after a run where i lost heavily on some cash tables at 6pm i had a short break and recovered in my final session.
i did suffer some losses but was tiny compared to profit.
the losses were £3.25 £7.93 62p 99p and 35p
the profits i make were £12.79, 5p £3.77, 62p £5.37 £9.63 and 46p
so if it weren't for that bad run where i got heavy losses i would probably be £120 now
the hands got
losses of £4.58 £2.41 £2.30 £1.35 and £1.09
profits
£4.75
£3.52 £3
£2-£3 4 hands
£1-£2 11 hands

craigcu12

some were helped by the bad play from the villian
he has 3 of a kind i bet he calls then i check he min bets so i call then FH is mine so i bet he raised i shove he calls

   I know i am behind here but it costs me 2.87 into a pot of over 10, so i think folding is just not an option.

two things should stand out here
1. you are reraise right away
2. the original raiser then shoves and the caller also shoves so you are more than likely chasing a flush as atleast on of them will hold premium pair and i will most certainly have held AK or AQ if not a premium pair JJ+ myself so neither an A or 10 would save you only a flush would have.
but it would not have made any differance really because even if you had folded i would still have lost all of it because of that calling station with 1010 who not once raised.

craigcu12

had a good session this afternoon and managed to get profits of £5.13 £1.24 £2.82 £8.04 and 13p the only loss i had was £4.07 so my bankroll now is £105
my big hands were profits of £5.99 £4.13 £1.92 and £1.36 losses were £1.18 £1.32 and £2.33
two shoves in my eyes should show the signs of a flush or nut straight

Folding is always an option, especially given that you have nowhere near the odds you need to make this set mining attempt +ve long term.

which hand are you talking about?
most the hands here are clearly a case of either me c-betting my pair or the villian donking 4p which i consider no differant to a check.

this session has been quite poor and boring with bets hardly ever being made until the nuts are hit or if they are not for nuts they shoving right away making me feel like i need to set mine every pair fold my over pairs or bet mincro to get calls
so i have lost quite a lot
i got losses of £9.04 74p 22p £3.90 and £1.05
my profits were 58p and  £2.00

In Response to Re: craigcu12 diary : two things should stand out here 1. you are reraise right away 2. the original raiser then shoves and the caller also shoves so you are more than likely chasing a flush as atleast on of them will hold premium pair and i will most certainly have held AK or AQ if not a premium pair JJ+ myself so neither an A or 10 would save you only a flush would have. but it would not have made any differance really because even if you had folded i would still have lost all of it because of that calling station with 1010 who not once raised.

  Hi Craig, i was a 3 to1 dog getting odds of 5 to 1 against the hands in play.

i just want to forget about that other hand because now i starting to feel as though KK or QQ are more weaker than AKs because villians like yourself and that guy above with A* just don't know when to fold an A so i feel as if i just have to call with my KK and then if i see an A i right away will avoid a big loss so my new second best hand could be AK followed by AQ as they will be much better against you ace addicts

at the minute tourney and cash seem to get me in totally differant directions because while i do awful in tourney and keep getting bad beats in cash games i'm finding it much easier to remain calm weather it has anything to do with multi tabling i don't know but it just is much better than the tourneys are.
so after yet another horror in the mini BH i did much better with cash tables
the losses were £1.77 £1.92 46p 36p and £1.67
the profits i made were £1.41 £3.01 £1.06 £9.91 £4.50 71p and £7.41
hand wise i got heavy losses of £3.20 £2.50 £1.60 and £1.13
profits were
£6.75
£5.79
£4.19
£3.91 £3.57 £3.43
£2.65 £2.50
£1.96 £1.41 £1.12x2 £1.08
