Cash Game Grinding on Carbon

[gundacker]

I lost $190 in a live game yesterday so I came home and had to blow off some steam on Carbon.

About 5 hours ago I sat down at a 10 cent/25 cent blinds cash game with a Maximum Buy in of 25 bucks.

Threw 25 on the table. I got as low as 16 bucks and worked up to my current stack of 160 bucks.

Crazy stats, this game has never seen fewer than 8 players sitting..



I've won nearly half of the flops I've seen.

Big Blinds are a quarter.

well I know, but then you are for sure playing higher stakes than me... (NL 25 is my max. limit so far)

Please post when the down swing hits and your AA is busted by a 1 card quad. ...OBV ur on a heater which is awesome - but pros play a lot of hands and try to raise their way to winning pots. Only problem is there is a strategy to winning every table. Not sure how long calling every hand works as a strategy - wont be Long before your raises get called or you get raised all in every other hand.

PS - you should have an $800 bank roll to play this level like that - per a pro. That should tell you how bad the swings are right there...Good Luck and I hope you do well on Merge.

I played pretty conservative.. About 60 dollars of my stack was thanks to some guy that didn't like me.

I said, "I'm listening to worship music and jamming.. Maybe God's a poker fan." Then he went off like crazy talking about God isn't real and whatnot.

So I suckered him in to some trash talk. Dude went all in with rags versus my full house to try and bluff me.



But past that, I played conservatively. It was actually more of me calling raises then my raises causing folds. Went to showdown quite a bit.

I quit because I'm getting tired but I'll have to mess around with cash games more often. I've been stuck on tournaments for so long I forgot about 'em.

Also, I would just like to note that in my 5 hours of decent pots.. I didn't see hardly any of the usual Merge Suckouts.. I was amazed. I event called straight draws a few times trying to merge out but to no avail.

Maybe freerolls are just more fishtastic.
