Chips: 1,861 | | | I'm a set-mining rock During current Hold'em session you were dealt 105 hands and saw flop:
- 12 out of 15 times while in big blind (80%)
- 8 out of 15 times while in small blind (53%)
- 7 out of 75 times in other positions (9%)
- a total of 27 out of 105 (25%)
Pots won at showdown - 5 of 8 (62%)
Pots won without showdown - 4
WTF? I need to find some more hands to play PF in NLHE... like just now... I folded KTo in MP to one limper in a .05/.10 game.
Can I fade the limp with trash like that?

Chips: 1,861 | | | Re: I'm a set-mining rock hm, ok. so I still should be looking for a 20-25% VI$IP. That's where I am but it feels like I'm leaving moniez on the tablez because these guys go way too far with a single pair.
You're probably right, it's just boredom talking.

...was actually cracking me up and haven't seen anything like it (close but not 90+% over 100+ hands). unfortunately I was victim to 2 suckouts but doubled up through him twice ending just a little up while he was there  . I still do the half buy-in deal ever since jojo mentioned it awhile back.
He bought in for $50 ran it up to $170 then down to the felt... go figure  So I guess the lesson is loosen up but know when to quit  .

Would seem like you need to look at your other numbers esp positionally over a lot more hands to have any idea of whther your leaving money on the table. Maybe a discussion of hand req's with given action would be a better tell here?
You could always go to 6 max NLHE which is what I do the majority of the time now. I find it less important to maintain a certain VPIP in 6 max... & much more important to not play like a donk. Smart or not I shoot for a pf% of about half my VPIP and don't worry as much whether my VPIP is 15 or 45 rather I try to adj my VPIP for the table i.e. loose on a tight table & tight on a loose table looking for extemes in any case.

Chips: 1,861 | | | Re: I'm a set-mining rock full ring right now. I just kept nut-peddling today and made three buy-ins. sweeeeet. Hopefully my 'roll will build as fast as my skill so I can get out of the micro stake games soon and get to NL100. My goal is NL100 by the new year, I'm not even going to play LHE anymore I don't think.
Well, up at the cardrooms I'll play spread-limt but only because that's all that's available.
