Since I've returned from travelling, I've played about 20,000 hands. This is how I've run in them...
It's rubbish! I looked at the stats and I don't think I am playing much differently. I seem to raise pre-flop a bit more and I play overall more aggressively, but this is the only difference. I think the problem must be playing 6-max then. I do think that 6-max can be more profitable than full ring tables, but you have to be prepared to take marginal edges, and with my puny bankroll, I can't take the variance. So I will stick to full ring cash games, and try to repeat the top graph!
Since the last update, I've had a couple of awful sessions. Here's the lowlights...
Session 1
PokerStars, 10c-25c (6max), 4 tables, 2 hours
- UTG limp, an MP player makes it $1.25 and I make it $3.75 on the button with QQ. Just UTG calls. The flop is 5-6-7. He checks, I bet $5 and he calls. The turn is a 3 and we both check. The river is a J, he bets $6 and I call. He has 54. -$14.75
- There is a limper and I raise on the button to $1 with 53s. The BB and the limper both call. The flop is 8h-5h-3h. BB checks, the limper bets $1, I make it $3.50 and the BB pushes for $11.30. The limper folds. I call and the BB shows KK (no heart). The turn and river come A A. -$12.30
Session balance = -$67.80
This made me feel unconfident, and then I played some dweeb stakes for a while. Today I went back to Party and played some 6-handed.
Session 2
PartyPoker, 10c-25c (6max), 4 tables, 2 hours
- I played this hand so badly! I make it $1.25 on the button with AQo and the BB and a limper call. The flop is Q-J-7. It's checked to me, I bet $2.50 and the BB calls. The turn is a 4. The BB checks, I bet $5 and he pushes for $13. I don't beat hardly any hands here, but I called and he shows QQ. -$16.40
- On one table I found my nemesis, Mahatta, and we had a few big pots against each other. AT one point I layed down AA to him on a 7-7-5 flop and he showed 75. Then I layed down QQ on an A high flop and he showed rags. Then I raise 8c-5c UTG to 65c and he makes it $2.21. The buton calls and so do I. The flop is Kc-6c-2c. I bet $4 and he calls. The turn is 10h. I bet $10 and he calls. The river is a horrible 7c. I check and so does he, showing AK (no clubs). I get his whole stack if that river isn't a club! +$17.07
- I raise in MP to 65c with AQo and Mahatta makes it $2.50. I'm out of position butr I want to stack him. The flop is a helpful Q-Q-8. I check, he bets $4.75, and I call. The turn is a 4. I check, he bets $12.50 and I push for $25. He calls with QJ. +$30.46
- The button raises to $1, the SB calls and I make a loose call in the BB with Ac-4c. The flop is A-4-2. The SB bets $1, I make it $3.26 and the button makes it $5.52. I call. The turn is an 8. I'm not sure where I am in this hand, but I push for $18 and get called by AQ. +$24.85
Session balance = $12.93
