A Trip to the Local Casino

Yesterday was the eve of Deepavali (Indian Holiday) and my friend asked me to go to Resorts World Sentosa with him to check out the games. I am not a huge fan of live games as you all know, with my bad experiences in Macau and running like crap all the time.

I would usually say no but I was feeling really bored last night. I think boredom often makes me make stupid life decisions. I was down 2k earlier when I played on Stars so I felt like making some money back.

Rake and Expenses
I had to pay the $100 levy + $50 2way cab ride + 5% rake capped at $50. Very expensive and not profitable at all.

Game
The majority of players there were Singaporeans with the occasional Chinese tourist. It’s very similar to Macau, though you are likelier to hear some other local dialects instead of Cantonese

I think the 10/20 games were softer than the 50/100 at Wynn but still not very good with like 2 decent regs, a bunch of tight passive donks and 1 big donkey (who only spewed his money to one other guy).

As usual I got the worst position at the table, with the 2 regs on my left. Not a very nice thing to have. I suspect they were 3betting me and bluff raising me in some spots but I always had pure air. Not having enough money to keep on reloading was also another big issue (ATM limits me to a 2k withdrawal), though I could have borrowed from my friend.

I lost around 2k SGD (1.6k USD), mostly losing medium pots of around 30bb-40bb on multiple occasions.

10 Nov 2012 – First Day Back at FTP!

I finally managed to regain access to my account and my 20k was still nice and intact. Proceeded to withdraw about half of it cos leaving too much money online isn’t such a great idea after the scare from Black Friday.

Thoughts on FTP:Many of them are playing with 2011 styles. I assumed many of the strongest NL200 Zoom regs at Stars caught on to a lot of new plays from mid-stakes (or a lot of them just mix and play 500 or midstakes tables). Maybe the good players aren’t there. I’m not sure. What I do know is that despite my limited sample size on most of the players (cos I am the type of guy who clears my database regularly), it was easy playing against them.

1) I think Flop call seems standard when villain rarely has 2pairs + and has so many gutshots. The turn was supposed to make me happy but wasn’t that thrilled cos I knew I blocked KQ and KJ which means it was way more likely for him to have QJ.

2) This guy is an old coach of mine. he doesn’t play too much no limit these days. Anyway I figured he wouldn’t call 45s vs my UTG raise so I didn’t give him any credit for having anything.

4) No history I think, or maybe we played in the past. I don’t recall ever being that aggro though. Game Theory wise that’s the bottom of his range so he should just fold and perhaps choose to use pocket pairs to bluff catch vs me instead.

Haven’t updated for some time so I’m back! Played a short session early in the morning.

1) Still not sure if the 6bet is good, I think the min7b is telling that he has KK+. Expect him to never have bluffs given his sizing. I would still have fold equity if he made it 1.6X

Month Of October

I had some nice results last month, mostly from NL200 Zoom. I only played on Stars and made 17k, with approximately 4k in RB. Lost 5k at 500, made 17k at NL200 Zoom, 5k at HU. I believe that I was the top winner at NL200 for the month of October but I can’t be entirely sure since there isn’t PTR now.

NL200 Zoom Lifetime Graph (mostly Aug-Oct 2012)

sneaky hu strategy

these days i only play headsup on my mobile and pretty much play vs regs only

but i came up with a pretty ingenious idea/strat.

i buy in for only 80bb and limp twice. that will make the reg assume im a passive fish for the next 30min. after that my opppnent will start to make exploitative plays with obvious bet sizing tells which will then allow me to move him off his hands when hes weak

 

 

 

Aside

23 Oct – Start of BOOM Promotion

I played for almost 6.5 hours today. Quite high volume for Monday standards. I usually don’t play that much on weekdays. Was hoping to get 8d 8h but I had bad luck with getting that hand to showdown.

1) I isoraised this reg who is a pretty solid player. I immediately thought he had 8h 8d and typed that in chat. He said “yeah, please let me to get showdown”. I decided to be the nice guy (cos I would hope that others do the same for me) and allowed him to win his 500. After the hand I asked him to ship 50 bucks back to me cos I would have 3-barreled him. He gave me some bullshit reason about balancing his limping range and how he was prepared to calldown 3 streets which was total bullshit cos if I did not say anything in chat I would definitely 3barrel on this runout and it’s impossible for him to calldown 88 on this 4 straight runout. I was 50-70% sure he had 88 and I would have trusted in my read (cos I don’t believe regs open limp in SB). Stupid cheapo 🙂

3) Villain definitely cannot fold Turn, though river is rather interesting. I have 88 and 99 and probably 98s too. I definitely could have some combodraws (though the Turn didn’t bring new draws and he has nutflush draw) so I have to be turning many hands into bluffs for him to call me here. Maybe my spazzy image is just that bad.

1/2 Graph + Goodbye HEM 1

I’m going to make the switch to HEM 2 Starting Today. So I decided to post one last graph. So far I think there are way more stats but I think the popups are uglier than those in HEM 1. I can’t get used to them yet. Also seems quite buggy – When I open the popup and close them they kind of stay on the screen and I have to minimise my windows for them to disappear.

Zoom Poker – PLO 50 SH

Hello. Haven’t updated in a long time. Decided to make a PLO Zoom video with text commentary for fun, since I’m procrastinating on school work.

28 Sep – Poker

Lost 800 today. Had opponents make massive mistakes against me but I also made many on my own. Theme of today – Overplaying vs Nits

1) This is against a very splashy 29/25/15 reg. My preflop min5bet is superior to a shove simply because of how air heavy this guy is. I think there’s a good chance he spazz shoves a lot of hands. I’m also going to be bluff 5betting here a lot. Flop sucks and I think he not only has many QX hands, but also a lot of 1/2 club hands.

Turn is great for me but he check/raises all-in. It’s a really close spot for me when I’m getting 26% pot odds. I assumed he shoves all combos of KcQ and AcJ (optimistic), while having all combos of AQo (pessimistic since he should shove a lot preflop)

Equity Win Tie
MP2 74.88% 74.88% 0.00% AcJc, KcJc, AcTc, JcTc, Ac9c, Ac8c, Ac7c, Ac6c, AQo, AcJd, AcJh, AcJs, KcQd, KcQh, KcQs

(Rake: $2.80)

2) Wanted to CR here immediately. I wonder if this is even a good idea, given that it’s a board where I would just bluff cbet all the time. Should have probably betted myself. As played River sucks, I’m putting him exactly on the hand he had. 23% pot odds given to me.

Equity Win Tie

MP3 75.00% 66.67% 8.33% KJs+, AsJs, KQo

Gave him one air combo and one combo of KJs (split). I don’t know if I’m being optimistic here.

3) This is vs a 17/12/7 nit. My default plan would be to call the 3bet here. I thought that I should just get it in given that his 3betting here is around 8-9% which was enough for a stack off. However there were 2 other issues that I forgot to consider

a. SPR is larger than usual – I made a minraise and he makes a tiny 3bet. My 4bet was 2.5X the 3bet but is still very small at only 15 BB. As a result I was only getting 42% pot odds facing the 5bet shove. That’s not even enough to call it off against TT+/AQ+ (40% equity with TT).
b. This guy has a wide 3bet range but he has a tight 5bet range

This made my play really bad.

4) Villain is 24/17/5 with 4bet range of 2%. He 3bets 2% vs all the early positions but has a much wider range of 14% vs the later positions. I also had a note on him that he cold 4bet bluffed me from BB when I 3betted from SB. (Would have folded if not for this note). I’m starting to think that my play was bad because I didn’t really look at how he approaches reraising. Now I think he doesn’t fight too much against EP raisers and thus I should not have been willing to stack off light here.

5) Another nit 20/17/7. Opens 14% from UTG, 4bet from UTG = 2.5%, overall 4bet = 4.4%. I think this play is fine, since I am definitely going to be squeezing lighter than usual into 3 people and thus I think he is perfectly capable of 4bet bluffing me here especially when I made a smallish 3bet squeeze (he has a lot of room to 4bet and fold).

6) I felt he had JJ a lot, but he could also have stuff like 99 and TT, occasionally AJs. I don’t see myself folding at any point so I opted to shove and hope he calls with worse, as opposed to checking to induce bluffs (he probably has showdown value0 and light valuebets (AJs may potcontrol a lot of the time).

7) In the past i used to make this play a lot, didn’t turn out too well. Over here I feel that at NL100 people don’t slowplay preflop as much. I think TT is great to backraise here, 99 is already borderline and 88 is just bad. I don’t expect villain to fold TT and 99 here because I rep 77-99 a lot when I take this line. Should probably just fold. Not to forget that BB could be strong some % of the time. I would have definitely backraised if other guy folded though.

Had a great winning day today. Already up for the month and recovered all my losses. I also started playing PLO again. This time I will only play PLO50 Zoom first. I’m not sure how tough PLO100 is, but since it’s the highest limit I assume it will be significantly tougher. PLO50 is a complete joke – The players there are freaking horrible and hilariously bad.

1) An example of a terrible play. This guy doesn’t even have AAXX (that would be terrible without flush draw anyway), and he overplays naked JJXX big time.

6) You don’t fold to 3bets most of the time in Omaha (unless you have some shitty paired hand or if you have a weak AXXX hand vs someone who only 3bets AAXX) . I have 40% equity in this 3way pot with my 13 out wrap (5/8/9/T). BB shouldn’t 3bet this sort of hand when he’s short stacked.  I suppose UTG should call BB’s bet but when I raise I think he’s crushed.

7) On the Turn I think no one has a King, esp the CO (being 3rd to act).  On the River I was a little afraid that he may  somehow have a slowplayed KX hand (I felt it wasn’t that likely but maybe he could have it 25-30% of the time) so I turned my 2 into a bluff by repping the flush on the River (with my Ace of heart). Funny how he called so my bluff turned out being a value bet. I think these guy doesn’t realize that he doesn’t have a fullhouse.
