Just finished the 3rd week of my online task of turning $100 into $2000 in 2 months. with the result being a steady 50/1 player by the end. week 1 brought my roll up to $158.
weeks 2 and 3 havn't been as eventful as i had hoped, i had planned to get 20k hands in the 2 weeks when in reality due to work and golfing commitments its been closer to 7K. this has made it a struggle to really win alot of money and its shown in my results.
my roll currently stands at $260, which is still moving in the right direction but all too slowly for my liking. im actually quite happy with my play for the 2 weeks just time commitment has me crippled. ive stopped calling raises out of position with suited connectors which was a big fault of mine but ive managed to resist the temptation and its been showing in my results.
Ive noticed that position is key in online 6 max poker, this is very relevant at the low stakes as the fish playing will call your raise with any 2 cards. and as a result have no chance OOP unless they hit the flop hard. So the key thing ive been remembering is,
out of position = out of action
I also have been entered 4 $5 MTT, and had great success, ive cashed in all 4, getting to the final 2 tables in 2 and final tabled in 1. i came 6th in the final table and really could have done alot better, annoying since i got $60 for 6th and 1st got 450. Ive been thinking alot about the hand that put me out and im just wondering if one of the squad could help me out with it and maybe spare some advice.
Avg stack 50k, i have 60k and i am 3rd in chips. blinds 2/4k with an ante of 250, i pick up AK off in mid position, under the gun limps, 2nd position limps, i then make it 24K to go. s nd bb fold, under the gun then reships for 70K, 2nd position folds. its on me last to act with around 36k behind. it is now 36k to win 136.5k. so being a prodominatly cash player i assume im priced in and make the call. to which the villain obviously has AA. its really the only hand i can see him limping under the gun to reship with. with other player on 13k and 30k can i afford to make this fold? knowing that the difference between 6th and 3rd is 100 dollars?
also won 150 pounds this week in live cash but donking away 55 of it in 2 live tournaments.
hopefully the next time i blog (week 4) i will be up to 0.10/0.25 level, the mark is 350 dollars. wish me luck.
total profit for weeks 3 + 4 = $102 + £95 = $243

i think it was definitly a bit of a cooler, and not a lot wrong. In my recent reading ive stumbled upon an article "how to play big slick", without going into much detail the general thesis was that at best it is still a drawing hand and preflop has as much value as that and not much more. AK six handed is a formidable hand and uve commited nearly half ur stack preflop but im thinkin if u think logically about it and include the prize structure thers definitly a better way to play it. Assuming u feel ur ahead of the two limpers indeed it is a possibilty that they may be playing kq or farming then ur in great shape. a raise to 24k is far to aggresive i mean short of that u shud really hav just shoved str8 away if thats the way u wanted to play it. u want to c that flop wit kq and the small pair, no set and uve got rid of the small pair, hit ur king and ur well on ur way to a double up which wud have otherwise been a preflop fold. indeed the advice u gave me was in the late stages coin flips are not ideal and at best that is wat u had from utg limper. priced in? most definitly but a raise to 12k mite have been safer giving u both fold equity and the potential to trap a marginally worse hand (considering u had position).just remember AK is not a made hand and to a preflop 3/4 bet its probs just best to keep that in mind in this instance anyway. blind on blind or 3 handed poss different but an utg limp shove short handed shud strt alarm bells ringing.
