Hide n go suck out...I mean seek
I decided last night to make a deposit somewhere to play poker all night. Back and fourth and ended up at Poker Stars...this time. I need money but can't afford to lose...LOL. SO, I played mostly long handed and tighter than ever. My flop % including the blinds was 18% long handed and about 5% more short handed over 1000 hands! I'm usually 10-12% higher and can deal with the flop accordingly. I must say it was a relief in a way not having to think as much and there was less variance in my game even on a very short BR. I played anywhere from 3/6 to 30/60 limit and 1/2 and 2/4 NL with hardly any BR to mention, yeah I know it was risky but the tight play got me through and I turned $600 into over $1600. Then I played some 5/10 short handed and realized something. Talk about a higher chance of getting sucked out! Since I mostly play short handed I was feeling the pain of getting sucked out one too many times. Now I know why and where, there mostly playing in the short handed games! I'm going to continue playing at the long handed games (2 tables), limit that is for a while.
Maybe that is why I could never win at Party Poker? One thing is for sure, it seemed like the higher limit games were easier...at least last night? I mean, I didn't win over a grand playing 3/6 in one night. In fact I'm getting addicted to the higher limit tables. Not sure I can play less than 3/6 ever again. I was already never going to play less than 2/4 as it was.
