3/6 Fixed Limit Live

whitecow · March 12th, 2008, 05:57 AM

I am tracking my stats playing 3/6 live.

One question I am wondering about is do you think I should be counting statisctics for promotions that I win in my statistics?

For instance from 3-9 am they have Aces Cracked win a rack at the casino I play at. Should the $100 won for this promotion be included in the amount won/lost for the day?

Also I would like to know what software for tracking stats people would be interested in having made for cell phones/iphones.

I would track them. You pay poker money from each pot into the promotional fund so anything you win from that should go back into poker.

Additionally, please quit playing 3-6 right now and either move up or wait until you have a bankroll to play higher. 3-6 is 100% UNBEATABLE in the long run because of the rake/dealer tips. I could do some math to show you how unprofitable it is, but I don't feel like it right now. Just trust me on this. Play at least 6-12 or dont play at all!

When you have the chance I would love to see the math.

Do you play at casino arizona off of 101 and Indian bend?

What kind of bank roll would you advise for playing 6/12?

Do you back anyone live?

About 6k.

See and thats why I am forced to play 3/6 is I really don't have the bankroll for 6/12

It's plenty beatable.

in a 3/6 limit game, if you extremely TAG (basically nut-peddle, never bluff) you can beat the game because you wont be paying rake most hands. you wont make much though.

whitecow · March 13th, 2008, 06:36 PM

I would like to post my daily 3/6 play and keep a current bankroll on here so that people can track my play and also discuss hands/situations from each day. If you think I should start a new post let me know or if there is some better way to do this with a BAP let me know.

Interesting hand from today that I would like to hear options on how I played it.
This is on a splash pot. Splash pot means a extra 100 is put in the pot and the winner for that hand gets it. It was also during the time period of Aces Cracked which means if your aces are cracked you win 100.

I am on the button everyone calls around to me. I look down at AA.
I decide that creating a larger pot at this point is worth it so I raise knowing that everyone will call and they do.

FLOP: 9s9h8s

checked around to me I bet 2 callers then a raise. I call the raise and so does one other player.

Turn Js 3 Players
Raiser from the flop bets. Other player calls and so do I.

River 3h

Raiser from the flop bets. Other player calls and so do I.

The raiser shows flush and the other player shows Q9 for trips

I would like to know what people think of my play in this situation remember that this is Splash and Aces Cracked.

Starting bankroll was $100 on 2/24
Current bankroll $634

BrandonPL · March 14th, 2008, 05:56 AM

This probably isn't the best place to keep a running tally going. If you want to ask strat questions about hands then this is the place to do it. Otherwise, you should probably keep the running bankroll in SO.

BrandonPL · March 14th, 2008, 05:57 AM

Oh and I probably play the hand the same. I'm never not raising aces there. And then I am absolutely calling down when it only costs me $12 to call the turn and river and there will be $200ish in the pot and if you lose you get $100. You are basically on a huge freeroll.

whitecow · March 14th, 2008, 06:11 AM

Thanks for the review Brandon.
I will continue to post question hands here that I have from each day. I will also include what I won/lost but more importantly the posts will be about the poker hands from the day.

whitecow · March 14th, 2008, 05:52 PM

5/14 +$142
Current Bankroll = $776

5 in hand
I am in hi jack pos
Pocket A's (Ace's cracked is in effect)

Flop 4d4h3c
Checked around to me I see button will bet I check

Turn Qc 2nd to act bets 2 callers

River Qs 2nd to act checks I bet get 2 callers

Get beat by trip 4s question is how bad was my river bet.
I win 100 for Aces Cracked

3 In hand

3/15 +$30
Current Bankroll $806

Just a rollar costar day never got in a groove.
One man really seemed to have a read on me or something. I have played with him before but it was like today he was one step ahead of me.

3/16 +$3
Current Bankroll $809
Hours played 2.5

Here is a interesting hand.
I had pocket 10's BB raised pre flop I call
FLOP
[7c Qh 4d]

I check he bets I raise he calls
TURN
[Js]
He bets I call

River
[10c]
He bets I raise he call's

He turns over AQ I win.

The reason for my reraise on the flop was to try to get a free card on the turn. This man had been beating me up all day and to be honest I was really getting frustrated. I guess the question about this hand is what is the best way to deal with someone that seems to have your number? I got lucky in this hand where normally I would of lost a lot of money.

I'm curious as to what position you were in and why it only says the BB raised. I'm raising TT in ANY position preflop here.
