Bluffs/value bets are always fun

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net



Made $84.2 in 3 hours today. Was up 120 with ten mins left but had a few bad hands and lost a bit. It reminded me how quickly you can lose a couple of buyin's, I have to keep concentrating. But I am happy with today and in general, making more than enough to survive on at the moment.

Since dropping down to 25nl:

VP$IP/PFR = 12.59/8.49.
$21.6 an hour at 3.37BB/100.

Hope it stays like that but it's doubtful, its only over a 16k hand sample size and I'm hitting sets/flops a lot. Although I just checked and I'm hitting sets 12.2% of the time, which is about right. Maybe I'm getting paid off more than I should. It'd be good to have 500k hands or so under my belt, then I'd have a good estimate of what my long term results will be. Hopefully $10-$14 an hour with $7 rakeback.




Value bet of the day: (I'm finnianp)
