Top pair, keep firing! Make the other guy brake. 🙂

The transition to $2-$5 was made last night. Not much to report. Pretty card dead throughout really. Played 4 handed with mandatory $10 straddle on the button a couple hours in waiting for must move seats. Old Brent, prior to discovering the poker vlogs and offtdefelt wouldn’t have played in such a game. 🙂 Game broke and played $1-$2 until getting moved to main $2-$5 game, but it was 4 handed soon after I moved there.

All in all, a pretty good experience. I played 6 hours of $2-$5 and got a $275 lesson. 🙂 Everyone’s comments were spot on, it’s pretty much the same game.

I struggled just a bit with adjusting with betting amounts and in hindsight played a bit too tight, but a good first experience.

Definitely glad I made the leap and plan to continue as $2-$5 being my first choice.

Thanks guys!

I’ll be there July 15th for 6 nights. Maybe that’s when I’ll make the leap to $2-$5, at a drunken Neeme/Owen Vlog game….. 🙂

Well, it didn’t happen tonight. Only game was $5/$10 no limit, no $2/$5 game. Next time.

Did win $367 in $1/$3 no limit. Won $500 last session. Running good. Maybe….if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. LOL

Right or wrong, the one thing I’ve consciously changed in my game this year is, when I hit a flop, I bet. Before I might be worried someone has a better pair or better kicker and small ball it. Problem I was running in to was similar to this, I’d check and/or not play aggressive, then face a big bet and assume I checked a guy into making a big hand. Finally realized if I play a hand and hit, why else did I play it but to hope to hit and get paid, so bet it. Go down swinging I guess. Easy for me to bet your money, huh Andrew? LOL Good luck pal.

Landon, I’m more on the conservative side, so I look for games that have a lot of chips flying. See a lot of the same faces in small city like St. Louis, so I don’t show up on Saturday morning to battle the grinders, I wait for Saturday night for the guys that only get out that one night a month, etc.

But what do I know? haha

[Brent]

Thanks for the feedback guys, confirmed my suspicions about the bigger games. I think I’ll give it a try Saturday. You guys are going to cover my losses if it goes bad, right? LOL

[Brent]

Based on the information you gave, I’d say 100%. 🙂

Twilight Zone stuff, lol.
