Its been a slow few days, only play about ten tournies since last post and about two hours of bankroll challenge.
Played tonight and started with around $119. Played two different tables and had a few hands worth mentioning.
In this 1c-2c cash game style I have been dictating my play around the types of weak players seem to be. Some are too tight, too loose, too passive, too aggressive or a combination of a few of those but it is a complete rarity to find someone with any substance playing at these levels (really who that is 'good' is going to spend much time at 1c-2c unless they have to built their bankroll to play higher). One tacted to counter people who are playing too straight forward is mixing it up and raising and calling raises with different 'weak' hands.
In the first hand I had been at the table a couple times around and found things very slow going. I (have around my $4 starting stack) got 5h2h in middle pos and raised to 7c (just to mix it up). It folded to the sb(about $1.60) who called and the bb folded. 16c in pot. flop came 24A, call different suits. sb checked and I bet representing an ace, 8c. sb called. pot 32c. The turn came 2s, putting two spades on the board. He checked and I felt like he had a decent ace, like A10, A9. I decide to overbet to get him to call again, he cant think the 2 helped me. I bet 54cents. He calls pretty quick. I know before the river comes out that Im gonna bet the rest of his 80cents. the river is a 7s, putting 3 spades on board, he checked and I bet 80cents. He thought for 15seconds and called with KK. Haha he musta felt stupid when he saw my hand, I didn't even get chirped but I suppose my play didn't add up to him or he was just being stubborn with his KK. Chalk another one up to the overbet!
I moved to a new table as that one was moving too slow, I had won a couple bucks there but it was shutting down. At the new table it was insane, the avg pot was over $1.25! To put that in perspective it was like sitting at a $1-2 game and having pots averaging $125 every hand(I never thought you all were stupid, the example was as much for my sake as yours, what a sick amount of action for 1c-2c!)!!
I only played there for a half hour and played about 4 hands, waiting for spots to make some easy money. Leading up to these two hands I saw a played with $18 at the table, limping for 2c and calling a $3 all-in wiht J10o, I assume that people had seen him do that because they were moving all-in with K9 and Q6! Now this is what low limits is all about.
I pick up 1010 in the sb and see 5 people limp in, I want to maximize my money (and I'll be honest, have a little fun), I move all-in for $4.50 and get called by two players who had limped, the utg limper had AKo and 80cents and the mid pos and third man allin had A7o and $3(coooler??omg haha) board came two kings and I lost the main pot but won about $2.2 off of the second man.
The last hand I played I had glorious KK and I raised inthe cutoff to 10cents, the sb reraised to 24 cents with 44cent back. Even though I was pretty sure he had AA I still had to call (are you kidding me? its 58cents!!) He showed AA and I lost a monster $1.36 pot, so sick.
Not much excitement, played a couple small MTTS tonight 2/3 in cashes got deepish in one 39/1300, just need to break through late.
END OF DAY #12: 123.47
