poker donkeys

distractions..

April 24th, 2009 by carlchr

Been a while since ive written anything now, but anyone who thinks ive quit playing poker is wrong.
Mostly ive been playing double up sngs, and of course as always when ive played too many of those I wind up losing a few because i lose my focus.

Ive always been trying out a few of the casino games a lot gaming sites offers, i expect it has had a bad influence on my poker game.But still they it is kind of hypnotice to watch the wheel spin, while one waits for the really big prize.

Doubling up

April 6th, 2009 by carlchr

After some good play today i managed to double my bankroll(way too small) at one of the sites i play,
with playing a mix of double up sngs and limit cashgames.
Mostly i played 0.25/0.50 euro and 2.50 euro buyin sngs.

tight play in tourneys

April 5th, 2009 by carlchr

Today i tried a 2k gp, with $3.30 buy in, about 1000 people had joined, played tight and hoped to get some hands but ofcourse no hands came.

Still managing to have a stack of 1500 chips which was the same as the initial stack, when we were about halfway through.

Finally i get a hand, JJ, and i raises All in and some donkey calls with QJ suited, hits the Q on the flop and soon its all over.

Dont play tired

April 3rd, 2009 by carlchr

Playing late at night probably isnt the wisest to do in poker,

waking up by the sound of ones cards being folded at river because someone made a donkey bet and seeing one has top pair witch actually is the best hand isnt too funny.

Actually one shouldnt be playing when tired at all, but then again who follows those advises?

Finally winning again…

March 27th, 2009 by carlchr

Its good to win somewhat again, and that on 0.25/0.50 euro limit.

Seems that tight agressive is the way to go, and not fold those rockets even if the board is a bit scary.

I see some people at the tables like to play loose aggressive, but i dont think that style of play suits me.

Tourney players need good hans and a lot of luck

March 26th, 2009 by carlchr

Tried a small $5 buy in tourney at betsafe today, dont think i got a single pocket pair.

What can you do when you when you doesnt get a single hand? bluff? yeah probably but thats not too easy with a small stack either, beeing reraised when you bet with nothing means one gotta fold :(

And then when one eventually gets a hand with A x you can be sure someone holds A with a higher kicker, but then again with almost no chips and A and a weak kicker one goes all in.

Another day, another donkey

March 25th, 2009 by carlchr

Dont we all hate those damn donkey players?

That call you down with any crap hand and hits his miracle 1 out on the river.

Then again its probably the fish and donkeys we make money off, but im not truly convinced since they for some reason keep on doing it over and over. Do they actually believe they play good or are they just plain stupid?

After a couple or more of these stupidity beats i usually fall into tilt mode losing a few euros, if i just had a cure for tilt ……
