.....4 outers......
....I'm still kinda stunned. People just try to give away their money in these 2-4$ NL tables and its great. Let me share with you, two stories of 4 outers that have cost me 1130$ so far. First one, its late bout 1am and I realize there are drunk people online and thats great, I get this guy to commit 350$ preflop with AK, what a donk, I have AA and the board comes 9TJQ6, same hand as I talked about in my previous post. Today, I sit down with 400$ and quickly, within 50 hands I see AA, KK, QQ, JJ and 99 twice, its a plethra of hands. So needless to say, I been raising alot, this guy hasnt been believe me and has already dropped all in for 202$ in a 42$ pot cause I bet 20$ on the flop. Well, I like to keep it the same when I raise and make a continuance bet....for instance, when I have AA preflop i make it 14$ into an unraised or unlimped pot, flop comes and I bet 20$. Same with JTsuited, 14$ preflop and 20$ on flop regardless, unless I out of position or a bunch of people called me preflop....but I usually dont raise out of position....back to my story.....I create alot of action by playing this way, people dont believe you over time and risk more of their chips and it only takes once to wake up with a hand and bust em, well this hand I have AA again and I raise it up to 18$ after two limpers. This donk calls 14$ more after everyone folds to him....flop comes JT4, two spades. He checks, I bet 20$ and he calls. 9 on the turn, and Im thinking he has KQ, so I checked to him, instantly all in for 178$...which is a smart play if you dont have shit and you think I am weak and I told him I was paying him off, I knew I was beat but I thought it was by KQ, not fckn Q8 offsuit!! I call, turns off Q8 offsuit and hit a 4 outer on the turn. Called 18$ preflop with Q8offsuit, hit a gutshot draw that WASNT even the fucking nuts if he hit it you know...KQ had him, if Im betting a flush draw, cause I will vs one player, if Im on that draw and turn a 9 of spades, hes dead. Just weak ass plays that I dont mind some donk making, cause hes only turning that gutshot 16% of the time and rivering it 8% of the time, so it really doesnt matter....over time consistent players are more successful that the donks that piss off money on 4 outers. Just fckn disgusting. Here how it looks for today, 3 sessions, first was ugly, so was the second, but the third......
Aug 3rd start : 400$ 2-4$ NL End : 143$ DOWN : 257$ TOTAL : 1675$--3am
Aug 3rd start : 400$ 2-4$ NL End : 95$ DOWN : 305$ TOTAL : 1370$--1-3pm
Aug 3rd start : 400$ 2-4$ NL End : 1151$ UP : 751$ TOTAL : 2112$--3-6pm
NOTICE, I mentioned this before, I am not keeping up with CENTS, so for instance, I ended today with 1151$ for a total of 2112$, the last numbers arent the same cause of the cents ladies and gentleman. Thank You
Also, keeping you informed with my horse Joe, me and him split $300 so he could start what I'm doing in 2-4$ NL, he has gone broke. Yes, I know, hard to understand my damn self, he couldn't last a day, but he couldn't get away from AQ, on a board of A56 rainbow. Now, to his defense he did raise to 16$ preflop and someone called with a 56o he said, and flopped two pr, the guy led out....WARNING flags should have went off there, but Joe re raised from his 20$ to 80$ finding out where he stood--WHICH IS NOT A BAD PLAY- just seeing where you are at in the hand, BUT the only reason why I do not like this play is it essentially committed my friend Joe to the pot. It was roughly 1/3 or 1/4 his stack....Looking back at it, he says he shoulda folded or just called him down....and hindsight is 20/20. I like to lead out with a bet if I hit a set, or flop two pr, simply cause you will get re raised more often than not. Joe got committed and picked a spot, I cant be wrong at him, but after he raised the guy dumped all in-----he should have thought, WHAT WOULD HE DO THIS WITH AND CAN I BEAT IT? Place yourself in his shoes...what hand would you have to have to make that play? Bet 20$, get re raised to 80$ and move all in for 300$? Also, What can I beat? I can beat AJ or lower, an open end straight draw, and a bluff--since there was no flush draw out. If you STOP, wait for a min, THINK, and then answer those two key questions---you will find the answer you are looking for. FOLD. In cash games, you have to be willing to LAY DOWN big hands, you have to. Its just that simple. Here an example that happened to me....
I have 9T spades in the BB, first position raises to 18$, two callers and its back to me for 14$ more, with 56$ in the pot---3 callers of 18$ and the SB for 2$, I call, getting pot odds of 4 to 1 ...flop comes 4s 9h 8s....great Im thinking....but I check weary of an overpair in first pos. First guy bets 50$ into a 70$ pot--with my call of 14$---one fold, one call, back on me now--- 50$ for a pot of 170$---little over 3 to 1---but I think for a second....WHAT IS THE SECOND CALLER CALLING 50$ FOR?? If you have a set there---youd try to isolate, theres a flush draw out there and a straight draw. So no set I thought to myself. After a little debate, I folded. Next card, 3 spades. AHHH, I hit my flush, but is it good? First position, bets 110$ into a 170$ pot, and the other guy waits and moves all in....140$ more, so 250$ total----first position thinks about it, figures pot odds are too great to fold and calls with KK, one of those being a spade. Other guy shows AQ spades and was on the nut draw the entire time.....I'm not saying I'm the man or look at me, but I STOPPED, I THOUGHT--What does he have to make that move, the call? What would I have if I just called? Would I call with a set or raise? I made an educated guess and it turned out right and I probably saved myself some money. In the end it worked out, but it doesnt always work out.....til next time....
