all right. i've had some time, and taken a break from posting. but, i'm temporarily back....not that anyone should give a shit.

i have switched over to 6max limit for the past couple months. i LOVE it!! easy money.

i dont think i'm all that good, but players simply have a leak that can be easily exploited...THEY FOLD TOO MUCH. i have never been a LAGgy player, but when you fold too much, i'ma gonna betta.

here is a snippit of a thought i had. i cant catch you up completely on the past two months, but whatev. take this for what its worth...

i am making a massive mistake by telling anybody that a 6 may be unsustainable. once you start to say it, you start to believe it.

i honestly think that a 10 can be sustainable at the limits i play. and, WHO says it cant be sustainable at ANY level? why do we limit our thinking like that? it may take some really solid, mistake-free bludgeoning, but i think it can be done. i didnt want to sound out of touch when telling another player that i was running a 7, and thought it could continue. i wanted to retain a bit of humility. but, honestly, i shouldnt give a crap about what anybody thinks. its not like they pay my bills. lol. (another pfs line)

however, i have backed off of my 32/28 stuff a good bit lately. that was too aggressive to sustain for any real length. it may be great in spurts, but not for more than a week...and the cards kind of have to allow it to continue. i lost the feel, and was getting called down too much. when you get called down, its great if you hit cards on turns and rivers, but otherwise its pure spew. then, draws stop coming in and players call down with bottom pair against your AQ as overcards. sure, when you hit the Q, you win, but it doesnt happen but one in about eight times. so, most of the time, its spewy if they arent going to fold, which is where the reads really become important.

i am back to about 24/16. i would like to get the 16 closer to 20, but i havent received much on the button lately. and, cant raise K9s with 3 limpers like i would if there were only one softy or no one in already...and i am not throwing it away in a 3way pot. so, that type of variance hurts my preflop raise %. i also dont raise AXs from UTG or MP anymore. i limp and hope to call a raise with them. so, that enlarges that gap, too.

then, there's been a relative absence of premiums. i seem to be ok with AK/AQ and the other big broadways like KJ. but, QQ+ have eluded me quite a bit lately. and, i've had a hard time finding the right spots to jump in with 22-99, too. so, that hurts any set-hunting i could do to balance myself out...not that you set-hunt in limit games.

all that said, i still find a player or two at most tables that fold too much. and, most of them just call all three streets, but i need cards for those guys. i had a hand the other day where i bet the river w/ 44...knowing the villain would call with A high. talk about your "thin value." and, the beauty is i did it on purpose! the next hand, i bet three streets of thin value again with 66 and he called the river with a missed draw. once you find those guys, they are easy to play. but, it takes a few orbits to figure out who is who.

i also found a table this week that poured money into my pockets. they folded everything. so, i got back to the bludgeoning i like to do. i was stealing rivers against 2 and 3 players at a time because i knew there was a good chance they would all fold...in some cases better hands. there's no way you can be good when your flush draw misses leaving you T-high with T7s in a 3 way pot. i had to have blown something that paired out. thats when the game is fun....when you fire the river and watch them fold to your crap. it really does make you giggle and call them "stupid" under your breath. i find myself muttering "you dumbass" a lot. it keeps me in a good mood for some reason. lol.

cheers.
