Grinding the Cash Tables

Posted by Assistanc3 On February - 25 - 2009

After playing some XBOX, I went on to hit the cash table for a session.
WyldBill and I talked about this the other night, how I couldn’t play “my” game because I knew I would not be staying at the table to long when we play at 2-3am.  I need time to scope the table while I grind.

And looks like it pays off ..

Two Tables Please

I first started on two tables at the same time.  Which ever table I chip early I will stay at and grind it out.

While I was down on both tables, I wanted to at least get back to even so I went up the food chain and played a couple hands at the .25/.50 table.  I don’t recommend that strategy by the way.

Chipped up to actually bring myself ahead, and I was contemplating at staying at that table but I don’t like 6 seaters all that much and my win was a major suck out.  So I left with the thought I am up,
and confidence is key at the cash table.

Figuring Out the Table

So after roughly after 40-60 hands I have a really good scope on the players at the table.
I know player A always raises and continuation bets with the Ace Rag.  Player B is scared of draws, and player the rest of them were scared when I bullied the pot.

It’s nice to know what people will call down with, so don’t be afraid to actually give some money away
(3xmin at most to pay for knowledge, it pays off in the long run)

Poker with Friends

Pinky even joined WyldBill and I for a hour or two
I continued to play for the remainder of my session after they left.
I did the usual 72 bluff vs Pinky, and got chipped with  my rockets vs WyldBill. :P

    this was a good night for me, I was in the zone
    the 72 when I play it, my intention is to take them off their game. Sometimes it works, specially on the micro tables.
