Parbet....and the beat goes on!

This'll be my last update before the end of the stake race next Monday.

Again most of my cash play has been on Parbet as the games are so soft; it makes me think of what online poker must have been like in the beginning.

The "beat" mentioned above goes something like this: Donk, donk, donk, donk.....

Some fun hands:

1st small session at the next stakes up produced this hand. I think I have to call his shove with my Kings ;)

I've stopped playing SC OOP after my coach dropped some hints as well as CR vids saying I shouldn't. However I'm not turning down those odds!! A lesson in why you shouldn't minraise.

"But I want to see a flop" Fishing with AA.

90/23 flush chasing with no outs. Needless to say his 600BB stack disappeared entirely throughout the session and he ended up rebuying. Just a shame that I didn't get it all!

My favourite line OOP is to check/call or check/raise the river against habitual floaters especially those with a high bet river %. Villian here had taken the same line against me about an orbit ago and I let him have it. Here I snap call even with the 3-flush on the board.

Even the tight players are bad. Playing 17/14 why is he calling a bet on that flop with that hand - he just ended up getting himself into trouble.

Yes, I am betting for a reason. 70/17 guy is just not folding TP.

It really is my favourite line OOP. Thanks for the odds on the turn.

I have to admit that there's a chance that I'm running hot as I haven't suffered many bad beats that I can recall. Here's one, which isn't too bad a beat, against a 15/10 who made a real strange play. I can only assume he was steaming as he'd just ran pocket Kings into my pocket Aces on another table.

Here my 41/10 opponent criticised me for my call of his turn shove saying it was obvious he had the flush.

Lastly a lesson in paying attention. I thought that the other guy had reraised me preflop and 9's were more than good enough to stack off against him with. Doh!!
