If I have a red card or a black card I raise to take advantage of people who are afraid to bubble.
I have a stack of half the average stack... if i raise and find someone with ace queen or better they will probably push and since i have a lower stack than they i do i am in more danger of being the bubble guy...
Jacks are the 4th best starting hand in poker, if I have less than 15bbs, I am shoving every time. If someone wakes up with a better hand, it wasn't meant to be.
Sorry i forgot about blinds, blinds were 300/600 and antes (i forgot what was the ante i think 60) and i was playing to win and not to cash. The table was kindoff a tight table mostly button vs blinds or blind vs blind. what I did is i raised it to 2400 and the guy in small blind (his chip stack was 10k) reraise it to 6.6k so i pushed and he had kks and i lost at 73rd.
I was searching for a thread i posted before and bumped into this, I couldn't even right write a proper hand history a year ago X_X. I didn't know what to do with JJ with 13bbs. I'm so proud hehe:D
Would you attribute your leapfrog improvement to the U of Waterloo Poker Studies Club?
90% of the people that come to play at the club, come to play for fun and they try to learn from playing. They don't play for real money nor study the game. There are 3-5 people who do play online and try to improve which i talk to a lot about the game but they are not as passionate and serious as i am. I would say the club is more of a place to help my confident and experiment some plays and also manipulate people through talking. I go to the club just to have as much fun as possible.
I feel the people in the club members really like me, which gives me a huge confidence and i make the game more entertaining by showing a card and betting blind etc etc. I could play online and try to win tournaments while i put the club as a priority to that because of the fun aspect to it.
I recently suggested to make a small mtt for 10$ and let the winners go play in Montreal Event 1 which I think is turning out great from the feedback.This would make people more passionate and enjoy the game more after playing in such a big event and in a great poker room.
Most of the improvements i had was by reading as much articles, threads and watching videos as well as reviewing my hand history. I don't like reading books as much but i have read a few as well. Also by putting some volume helped in my improvements.
What happened was i raised 3x:bs: pre and someone 3 bet from sb and i jammed with 0 fold equity and he had KK. I busted as the bubble-boy
BTW - 3x in that spot vs jamming is a bad decision.
