June/ July 2010 Become a Better Poker Player 2 years 10 months ago #16203

Read before you think about airring this you might not want it poluting the waves. Hello poker players i play alot of freerolls and on ocassion a $5.+ buy in I'm not what you'ld call a pro or to much a donk i'm seeing alot of good or above average folks nailed by a worse hand (donk) all the time like every table or betting through the roof with crud and come out smelling like a roses. some folk say it's luck others cuss you out for even calling others say it's odds or pot comitted and there not even playing the game other than flipping a coin yelling bingo at the top of there lungs. last weeks show was talking about limping into a pot there i think is alot of factors besides the limp that comes into a table how the cards are running or if someones a card rack but a good players not going to donk his chips off on a all-in before the flop with crud some do just becouse they might be board with the game or just don't care if they win or loose.I was in the dollar dazzler on reefer i cought AQ suited i raised blind to 500 it was 100/50 guy goes all-in AJ and a call by another 1 JQ flops i call a J flops i loose 1/2 my chips. next hand pp 66 i'm in small blind i raise same guy that had QJ has 5 10 goes all-in catches 10 rivers me next hand i get kk got 185 chips left go all-in mr JQ flops str8 i'm gone in 3 hands answer ? just unlucky? my answer- bite me. i feel that a bleeping person (u know the cussing 1) has no use being there in the first place and should be kicked for a week or month at a site as it's called integraty and professional curiticy. sorry i couldn't find a dictionary to check spelling. There are alot of nice folks i have met at the tables over the years i've played online but then again are your odds of how many people are in a turny and how many winners there are per week month and so on. you can play your heart out have the best hand do everthing by this book or that book and still get dumped on/ then there's the bot or the 'helpful' program that some folks use to get a edge lettem use it on free fun chips only or carry it into a casino in nevada see how far they get and how many years in the state pin them are good odds. i'ld like to see you do a game like the wpt like mike sexton and his announcer on a online game for a show. Yeah if we give you a situation you can give us a answer mathmatical or you shoulda done this or that in the situation answer, but a day after day answer turny after turny you say yeah u lost couse of this or that or it was to big of feild to take on or you say i don't play those games to many donks well maybe you better play the free ones then to see what's going on out there thanks for any reply to this

Playing any online tourney takes 1 main thing patience.
Patience helps you remain focused-Helps you to ignore the smack talk that may cause tilting.
Your tourney life is at stake every minute at any level.
Think before going All In with a marginal hand-gl

Continuation Bets?
I have a problem with them. I don't like them. I usually just end up losing the money. If I miss the flop, I don't like to bet, except for the occasional situational bluff and semi-bluff.

If you raised pre-flop and hit big, you are often going to check till the turn anyway. So your opponent isn't necessarily going to "know" whether you missed or hit.

But some people seem to think a continuation bet is usually in order.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

About the continuation bets I think it depends on what the other players are like and your position. In the low limit games I play I'll raise the c/o or button often with air, and then when everyone checks the flop bet out. Again 4 out of 5 times everyone folds. However do keep an eye open for the one who realises what you're doing.

I got one. Again these micro limit games nearly always has some guy who goes all in appearingly at random. A typical situation is like this. Utg folds, call, fold, all in for about 75BB.
Sometimes he gets called, and can have anything from air to aces.
I guess my question is, what should my range be to call all-in against any two cards?
