id like to say for the record that the guy you played against in the tournament heads up is a complete moron

phoenixdan5 · #3 (**permalink**) 06-20-2006, 11:33 AM

no doubt he was, that was retarded. But..... im not complaining

And not to kill your buzz but you should not even be in that second hand.

id have $10 less if i didnt.

See thats the thing i love about the .2/.4 table. ITS ONLY 4 CENTS!. You can call any and every even half way decent hand. If i called every hand i could see 125 before i lost the $5 max buy in. i would risk .4 any day for a K 5. Then again in the tourneys i was folding MUCH MUCH better hands. You gotta adjust to the stakes.

This is a horrible view on playing micro limit poker.

It's only 4c if you have $100 on the table, but when you have $5.54, $0.96 is a lot.

That said, good job in winning the tourney

Ive found that by tightening up my game at the 5c/10c tables It helps me win all in battles and big pots. For instance I used to call all ins with hands down to AT at times and pocket 8s but I tightened up and mainly call them with QQ+ or AK, AQ at times and JJ if I have a read on someone.

Ive found since ive done this its saved me a lot of money and even though its only 4 cents or ten cents a time its still a lot if you call with K5 every single time....

the .96c was after i had three of a kind with an ace kicker. I knew i had the hand by then, why would i not hit what i did, theres no way i would have called. But 4 cents for a king with 3 people in the hand IMO is not a bad call. You guys are acting like im calling 2 7s and stuff. A king, to me atleast, is worth 4 cents to see a flop. Going by your guys logic i wouldn't have trippled up. But i guess i can see what your saying

Oops, I misread.

So, if you see one of my 5/10 hands and call $10 with K5 UTG, it's a mistake. Still faulty logic if it's logic at all. I see why you're so swingy.
