Tip of the Month

                        So I was talking on Skype to a top winner in .25NL I play with and he says here listen to this and it will bring you luck LOL.
                                             So i'm not much of a Tony G fan lol my Favorite player Is Daniel Negreanu but when talking with him he did talk some strat . One thing is how to play against Short Stackers . We are talking guys that have less than 3/8 stack so I play .25nl we are talking $10.00 or less guys. Higher like $12.50 we can still Flat pocket pairs and play against them with strong hands. But Regs that are Shortys we should not give them any action . When we do give them any action it should be raise them and get them all-in as fast as we can .But with super strong hands.

Another thing we talked about was getting in tough spots like you have AA and it gets multi-way 4 players in the hand ugh not good . So if theres like $6.00 in the pot now and we bet $4.00 a set miner reraises us well we are pretty committed to stacking off or folding , but say you bet like $2.00 just to see where we are at and the set miner reraises well it might be small enough still we can call and see what he does next on the turn. We have to remember it's just a Pocket pair a strong one but now with 4 players ugh it's just a pair. So sometimes betting not bloating the pot we can see where we stand , yes we are making it cheaper for people to call and catch but the risk to reward might be well worth it. You can try this out but by no means live by my tips I would hate to give wrong advice but it has seemed to work well lately .

He also had a few Quotes like these.

"Remember winning poker is how much you Don't lose."

        "Good Folds Are Wins"            

                  And Daniels Tips   "Don't do Anything Stupid"

Ok so that's it short sweet and hope it might help you out in tough spots. See ya at the tables, Chris


Oh one other thing I have talked to two of the top winners at my level and one of them does'nt even have a hud the other plays with his off . So I think hmm why ? And the first thing they think is .Ask yourself what do you think the opponent has pre , flop, turn, River . They do give lots of credit even to fish and I think sometimes when we are just looking at the stats we are not thinking what hands they could have . They take lots of notes on players and they also are very smart on knowing how the regs play. I also played a few of my sessions with the hud turned off ,the sessions went well but I did have my KK run into a super 0% 3bet nit that without stats I didn't know and of course he had AA lol. I checked after the session was curious about his play. So give it a shot once in awhile turn the Hud off and play a super focused folding in tough spots session :)

The Big Pot of Gold

         So I think this is the Biggest pot I have won so far playing online cash games. I thought for sure someone was holding AJs maybe and just was hoping to fill-up on the river, but must be my lucky pot I guess because my hand held.This month has been pretty horrible so far . It's one of those win a little one session then give it all back plus some on the next session ugh. So at the moment I am down almost two buyins for 13,000 hands this Month, which sucks because on the 3rd of the month I was up 5 buyins yuck . Guess I will keep grinding. One positive thing is I just recieved my first cash out on Merge and bought a new 42" Lcd TV so I am now waiting for a 15' HDMI cord I ordered so I can plug  my Laptop in and play on a Bigger screen weee. Hope it works ok someone told me I can adjust settings so I can tile them on the TV that would be nice because I usually play 9 tables and have to overlap them on my 17.3" Laptop. Here is the winning hand sure glad it held. Thanks for reading , Chris

Oh my profit was $47.77 on the hand

Yeay e have A winner

So I put a Twist in the 1,000 post contest. I told them I would pick a winner . But instead I had my wife pick  two finalists out of a hat then I setup a Headsup match for the win . Was great fun for them both I think, It was a prvate sng so I wasn't even able to sweat them just was able to see chipstack sizes. It went back and forth so all and all a good Match, here are some screen shots.







Thanks again for all the support and to the contestants.
