Changes in the League - again
December 6, 2007
Most of you reading this will understand the jist of this blog by the title.
For those of you who don’t, I am a member of the Pokerchipsquad League. I have been a member for gosh, I don’t know, 5 years maybe. The league has made quite a few changes over the years and we are now in the midst of another.
I thought I would make my thoughts on all of this known here instead of in the forum because I am free to say whatever I want since it is my blog. Also, Rich (forum owner) doesn’t want any negative comments made in the forum about the changes. I am not saying I will be negative but I want the freedom to be negative if my thoughts take me there.
More Omaha H/L
November 16, 2007
In the last post, we got a few of the basics covered regarding Omaha H/L.
I was thinking of continuing this but first I want to talk a little about what Gopher mentioned in his reply in the last post.
Goph mentioned that he plays Omaha H/L better drunk. He admittedly points out the fact that it is probably luck that gets him through but it raises an interesting point.
Now, I am going to talk about plain Monkeys, drunk Monkeys, and aggressive Monkeys but I want this in no way to reflect on Goph. He is a good player. He just mentioned it and it got me thinking.
Omaha H/L
November 12, 2007
I didn’t play a lot this weekend but when I did play, I played mostly Omaha H/L Pot limit.
It seems a few of us have been playing that game more often. Maybe is a case of boredom with Hold Em or just something different to try to get the enthusiasm back.
I like this game. I wouldn’t play it every day, all the time, but it can be challenging at times. I also think it is easier to win money if you know what you are doing. My experience has shown that there are a lot of people out there playing this game that don’t have a clue as to what they are doing.
I am not going to sit here and tell you I am the best player at this game. I will however offer some general advice that may help your game.
Big pot suck outs - continued
November 8, 2007
Well, my last post was a jumbled mess. I am trying to communicate something and I am not doing a very good job of it.
My buddy, Blagger reminded me of that in his answer to my previous post.
So, I am going to make it worse by expanding on it in this one…lol
I think, what I was trying to talk about was more about identification of a hand/opponent than the actual suck out. Blagger made a good point. If you aren’t in the big pot to be sucked out in the first place you aren’t playing right.
Big pot suckouts
November 3, 2007
Yeah, I know. Its been a long time in between posts. However, looking at the other links here, it hasn’t been as long as some.
I was thinking this morning about big pot suck outs.
It happens to all of us AND we have done it to others.
The reason I was thinking about it was I was playing in a 7stud h/l SNG the other day, (not my normal game but I am trying to get interested in the game again and thought I would try something different), and I sucked out a big pot which took someone out and the others at the table weren’t too happy about it. I don’t remember the exact details of the hand. I remember I had 2 3 suited in the hole and on the flop I had 2 pair. The other guy had a K with 2 rags showing. He bet real hard so I figured him for trip K’s. To make a long story short, I hit another 3, got a FH and took him out. (no low hand).
Technology sucks sometimes
September 9, 2007
Well, I haven’t posted in a while.
I have been having problems with the computer. It was one of those things where I kept getting the BSD (Blue screen of Death) at different times with no clear cut indication of where the problem was.
Being as stubborn as I am, there was no way I was going to let this thing beat me.
I uninstalled software, re-installed it, tested, downloaded utility programs, messed around with configurations all to no avail.
Finally, with the help of Blagger and Dog, I found the problem.
