Playing after a withdrawal

Have you ever tried playing, just after you’ve made a cash withdrawal from one of the poker sites you are playing at?
Well i did, just a small sum, but even so my play has become extremely bad(or have i just been unlucky?)

How can this “bad luck” be avoided after a withdrawal?….
there’s a few things that may work:
not playing at all for a while
playing extremely tight
or just withdrawing the total sum.

Can’t reallt tell what works best until next withdrawal, but im pretty sure im not the only one having this problem!

How to play double up sngs

September 29th, 2009 by carlchr

Double up sngs are nice for building stacks or just making a few bucks from.

Start off easy, and try avoid going all in even with high pairs as this is the phase off the game where you can get called with anything. I doesnt know how many times ive lost with a high pair in the first few hands, against a donk calling with absolute trash.

Let a few players get knocked out, while trying to avoid to big losses to your stack.

Dont play to many drawing hands, and if you do you should try avoid going all in unless nuts, or having a damn lot of outs.

dont pick fights with bigstacks,unless absolutely necessary and if you do expect to be pushed around.

When you are i position (sb or button) you can try to do some steals from the smallstacks.

Downswings :(

September 8th, 2009 by carlchr

Yeah i know it has been a long time since ive written anything, ok so im a lazy bastard…

Ofcourse there has been holidays and such, but ive anyway been playing poker.

So that means i probably should kept up to date with writing here.

Actually my results for one of the sites i play at has been horrible for the last week or so…

I really have no idea of how i managed to play myself from a bankroll of 90€ or so down to 1€, ive mostly been playing 0,05€/0,10€ limit holdem, and then som occasional 2,5€ double ups… Even with some bad downswings my play must have been horrible.

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.

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.
