Three-betting my way to the poorhouse!

Good Suggestion

Posted by MaxPen on April 20, 2006

Well, I have been playing most of my poker at Full Tilt lately.  I must say, I really like the site.  I had never played there before until I joined up with PokerFox.  Nice software and some pretty good games.  The limit traffic is a little low, but you can always find games.  The NL side of things offers plenty of games and the traffic is great.  I also like that I get 27% rakeback, paid directly into my account and that I can data mine tables.  All good things.

The other day I was shooting the shit with Titans, and he suggest giving the Party NL tables a shot.  So last night I sat down to record a session on Party playing $100 NL 6 max.  Let me just say, what a wonderful idea.  First hand I hit the nut flush on the turn, but didn't get much action.  Then in the SB I pick up AA and UTG raises 3x and two call.  I raise to $12 and UTG calls.  I bet out $15 and he raises to $30 and I just call.  We both check the turn and 6c falls on the river, putting 3 clubs on the board.  I bet out about $40 and he pushes, and it costs me another $30 or so to call and I do.  That 6 made his set, so it was a very good card for me.

Few hands later I pick up TT and the flop comes T high, I bet and some guy pushes with AKo and I call, taking down another good size pot.  So about 12 hands played, and I'm up about $190.  I cut the session short at about 30 minutes because I was recording it and finished up about $185, not bad for a half hours work.

I need to start playing Party more.  I have always liked the site with great table selection and an abundance of fish.  So I will probably be splitting my time between Full Tilt and Party for now on.  Full Tilt for rakeback and maybe if I play enough on Party, I can get into their VIP program which is  kind of like rakeback in a way.
