Quads Everywhere
Posted by MaxPen on January 29, 2006
Quads seem to be flying around me lately. I hit two quads in the MTT I won the other night and then last night playing some limit 6-max I flopped quad 3’s and made a bundle. I got 3 quads in 24 hours, that means I probably wont see them again for 6 months.
My quest starts on Monday to make $1500 in a month. I probably set it pretty low to be honest, I have made that in a week a few times. The way I have been playing lately, maybe I set it to high.
I played a few hundred more hands of 6-max last night and lost $17. That is just over 4 BB’s so no big deal I guess. I don’t seem to be grasping that game very good yet. I do think I am getting some bad cards right now. I had AK three times last night and missed the flop with all three and had to give them up. I see other morons cap it pre flop with 44 and hit their set on the flop and it just frustrates me. Maybe I should start playing like a donkey, then maybe I could win. I know long term I will destroy those types, but its frustrating when you are losing.
I made contact with the guy I want to hire to coach me. Found him on 2+2 and he offers reasonable rates. Just waiting to hear back from on on what time he would like to do it, then we should be set. I am hoping that having him watch me play and discussing the hands will be very helpful to me.
I sat down and played some $50 NL 6-max just now. Made about $60 in an hour worth of play. It was all made on one hand basically. I had AA and raised, one caller. Flop came Q high and I bet out and he raised me. I came over the top and he came back over the top, but for only $4 more then I had raised. I thought that was odd, and of course called it. If he had made a bigger raise I would have laid it down probably. I didn’t think he had QQ because he had just called pre flop and he didn’t seem like the type to slowplay. So I figured he hit 2 pair. The turn paired the board and now if he had 2 pair, they were counterfeited. He made a bet and I pushed all in and he called. All he had was a pair of Q’s and I took it down. He had a pretty big stack but I only had $52 at the start of the hand, so I couldn’t take it all. But I gladly took the $52.
