A fun limit hand

So I joined PokerSavvy Plus to watch some videos because of the free 7 day trial and also because of Matusow. Some good stuff on there, haven't got to all of it but Matusow had some good videos on there. A lot of it is HORSE and limit 08, but he has a few NL videos on there. Anyway I was watching a series he was doing entited "HORSEing around" where he does a video for each of the 5 horse games. The first one I watched on limit hold'em he was playing 15/30 and cleaning up. Seemed like fun, so I gave it a try.

Here's one hand.

Full Tilt Poker $0.50/$1 Limit Hold'em - 9 players - View hand 53564

Pre Flop: (1.5 SB) Hero is BB with QQ of diamonds AA of spades
UTG calls, 7 folds, Hero raises, UTG calls

Villain was a donk, previously limped in and it got raised and 3-bet from two late position players. Villain hung around on an A high board and rivered an 8 to make a set and win a huge pot.

Flop: (4.5 SB) QQ of clubs 99 of clubs QQ of hearts (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG calls

No respect for this guy. None. I wondered though if I should have just called the raise and checkraised the turn.

Turn: (5.25 BB) KK of hearts (2 players)
Hero checks, UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG 3-bets, Hero caps!, UTG requests TIME, UTG calls

Screw it, I'm checkraising the turn anyway. It gets capped. Admittedly I was a bit worried about TJ and if I was still going to bet & raise the river, but once he called time on his hand I still knew I was ahead.

River: (13.25 BB) 88 of spades (2 players)
Hero bets, UTG folds

LOL. 

Final Pot: 13.25 BB
Hero wins 12.75 BB
(Rake: $0.50)

Over the long run though I wonder how profitable this game still is.

Righting the Ship

Had another bad session yesterday. Actually I didn't play badly at all, I just took two horrible beats. I was taking a shot at NL $50 too. Lost to JJ twice. One hand I had 55 in a raised pot, I called from the BB, and flopped a set (9-6-5 flop I believe). Anyway, get it in with a half stack, he has JJ, river J. Great. Another hand I have KK and resolve to play a big pot with it. I raise to $3, SB calls. Flop comes 9 high, he checks, I bet pot, he calls. Turn is a blank, same action. River is a jack, he shoves for the remaining PSB, I call. He has JJ, sigh. Really wish I didn't keep getting two outed. So tonight I decide to take a shot at $100 NL (6-max of course) after the Red Sox beat the Rockies 2-1 due to great pitching to take a 2-0 lead in the series. I sit in with $100, leaving me a measly $5.12 if I lose it. But I resolved to try and get up $45 and then leave. If I go broke I take a break or redeposit or whatever. Sick and tired of grinding it out at NL $25 just to get t...

Update

Didn't realize it had been almost 2 months since I last updated this. So yeah, really just haven't been playing at all. A few weeks ago I was available to log in and play a nightly LOLmaha but the site couldn't connect. Didn't think much of it, said "oh well" and did something else. But when I couldn't log in again or get on the actual website itself then I started to think something was up in the poker room. Looked on twoplustwo to see if there were any posts about it, and someone wrote that the management on another forum referred to the players as "FREE ROLLING SCUM". LOL. Can't find that post anywhere on the online internet though and too bad because that would be a fun thread to read I'm sure. 🍿🍿🍿. I can't really blame them for that sentiment though because the only time the site had any type of traffic was during the Sunday night freeroll. Then of course there were other players like me on there that were pretty much ...

Fantasy Football Spreadsheet

A few days ago I was looking online for a point calculator for fantasy football (too cheap to spend the $10 on StatTracker). Something where I can enter the players stats and calculate the total points. Unable to find one, I made it myself, in excel. I figure it might be useful to someone who happens to come across this post, so here's the link to it. It uses the default yahoo league configurations, so if your league is different you'll have to go and change some of the numbers in the formulas, or positions, or whatever. Otherwise you put the stats in the left hand column, and the points will appear on the right. I made it so there are no partial points, and so it rounds down. For example, if your QB has 249 passing yards, you will get exactly 9 points, not 10, not 9.9. The only points it does not calculate is points allowed for team defenses. You will have to manually enter it on the right hand column yourself. I have provided the guide for yahoo leagues. So there you have i...
