Some Hands
Dec. 11th, 2007 11:35 amA small loss this morning in my FPPP accumulation, but not wholly unsatisfactory. Although I booked a small loss, I felt more “at ease” by the end. I think that the whole “I cann’t beat Full Tilt” psychology has been affecting the way I play. The second hand in this list (where I have TT under the gun) is an example of this. As; seasoned poker players know, the “let’s try something different for a change” attitude is rarely a good idea unless it’s based on sound historical research. I played a couple of hands “differently” (one of them is reprinted here – it wasn’t a bad loss, but I played so horribly that I don’t have the nerve to print it) and got nowhere (apart from a difficult spot) as a result.
But, here’s an example of what seems to happen to me. In the first two hands, the vuillain is the same player each time, and I have no history on him.
FullTiltPoker Game #- $0.50/$1 - No Limit Hold'em

Seat 6: Tiltx ($87.80)
Seat 7: HEAT0018 ($78.10)

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [8♡ T♡]
Tiltx folds
HEAT0018 calls $1
chickenking calls $1
VicVega92 folds
john1226 folds
robgraves777 folds
wille1974 folds
Villain calls $0.50
Hero checks
Well, not much that I can do about things so far.
*** FLOP *** [T◊ 7♣ 7◊]
A standard for Full Tilt. First hand in and I have a hand that has all the script of a small win or a big loss. Why can’t these fuckers raise and let me fold in peace? (That’s not a serious statement, by the way. Obviously, free flops are good).
Villain has 15 seconds left to act
Villain checks
Hero bets $3
Lead out with a set, lead out with top pair.
HEAT0018 has 15 seconds left to act
HEAT0018 calls $3
As; I wrote yesterday, there seems to be a habit of “taking one off the top” or even “let’s see if he follows through on the turn” on Full Tilt. If a player with HEAT’s stats had 66 or KQ on NoIQ, I’d expect a fold here. His call increases my net EV, but also increases my volatility.
chickenking folds
Villain raises to $13
