It's quite tough to find a good vid for us muppets - sorry, micro poker demigods - dealing with isolating limpers and posters on anon tables, especially those who don't fold preflop; even more especially versus multiple unknown villains - and even more more specially special, when hero is oop, like 2 limpers or one limper one poster and hero in bb with whatever.
Know the kind of thing? Boomer's supplied vids not really specific enough, though very much appreciated and I've seen them before.
I've been trying for a week or so maybe more now and it's costing me too much to get it wrong too often, especially (yes it's todays big word, duh) when multitabling even though I've cut down from 12 to 5. Just can't get the hang of it.
Anyhoo, not too well today and the dog hurt herself jumping the fence to chase those fukn cats again, so chillin' a bit. Maybe do some baking if I can be arsed; meh, maybe bloody not, I'm crap anyway.
Although I am reliably informed that gardening is the way to go for us slightly over the top, jaundice eyed types, so maybe I'll plant a wossname plant or something, that should please [and surprise] SWMBO at least.
Allotment; there, I've said it.

I used to play "Play Money" when too tired to play real.
Now I play 6-Max NL 2 cap.
The betting caps at 20 BB.
The two play the same, more or less.
Specifically, you can quite often sit in the BTN facing 3 limpers.
Nothing you can ever do on a cap table will get any of 'em to fold.
You can't isolate if they won't fold, and no video YOU watch will change their minds.
*SOMETIMES* in the SB, BB I'll will be in for free or 1/2 BB and if I get a Kxy rainbow flop I can take it by donking, but even then you get calls from the most ridiculous hands.
If you get bored and want a sweat session, let me know and I'll laugh at the fish with you for an hour or so...

@Vorpal, the problem isn't getting them to fold, I know that button is broken, it's what to iso with, what range, given they play 55+/10 or whatever. I don't care if these guys fold or not, but if I play A, then B, then C, by that time they've gone or gone broke to a reg.
You're welcome to come and laugh at me if you want to, that would be nice.
@Fazergod, of course we can, the invitation is always open. Skype me when you're around ok?
Unfortunately SRBSavic, I have not made it to 1K yet.
I will make it, but I have had to do the old withdraw and then lose a few buy-ins immediately thing a couple of times, which, including those times probably puts my around the 700 mark. I must check later and see.
Had a positive if short sweat session with the fazergod last night and learned a few things I hadn't noticed were wrong.
One can get a bit same old, same old and habits go unnoticed, but when illuminated they become so obvious one wonders why one didn't see the fault earlier, doesn't one.
I did and still do dare to disagree with the mighty fazergod (gulps) about one or two things we discussed, but that's because I'm a pilchard, even if I do own nl4.
Having said all that, I still haven't got a range for playing these limpy/cally/posty types so will work on that this week and see what I can come up with. I do agree a range as such is by necessity reliant on knowledge of villain's postflop tendancies, given nobody folds most days, but then I have little info because I play anon tables.
Being lazy today so volume not great but as I'm learning propa poka that's no biggie.
Anyhoooooo, enough bollox from me, here's the scariest frog in the world:
So, fellow demigods, let's hope you run like pleno1 eh?
I do but that's a given these days anyway. I did get a nice +5BI session in last night after the sweat with the fazergod, but not sure if it was his fault or not; I'll blame him anyway. ♠_cool:
One thing that became very clear is that I found it tough to play and voice my thought process with clarity at the same time. I'm just so out of practice at that stuff...so much for multitasking then.
Pokeristawise, I've been watching loose types play the old limp/call/donk ploy today and not playing myself yet, so I'll try to put into action what I've learned about them so far when I play later.
One thing that is definitely very clear is that I love it when it says 'equity 100%'...
Villain is just splashing about in the pool, flapping his arms and pumping his gums.
$8.20 pot ($0.08 rake)
Final Board: Q A A 6 9
UTG showed T Q and lost (-$4.07 net)
Hero showed A Q and won $8.12 ($4.05 net)
Next!
I need a few more days of run good to pay for SWMBO to go out with her mates. She hasn't had a night out for 2 years bless her, so I'll do that as a surprise I think.
Maybe I'll get RasTweet to interpret this for me, I never did understand a word of it:
..and you seemed like such a nice chap to!
Chat is usually off when I play but this guy was annoyingly sitting out and sitting in, blah blah-ing all the time, minraising etc., etc., he had a chk/r flop % of 40 and nobody was playing back at him. Nitty regs r us.
Truth is he called me an 'Effing luckbox fish' for not folding pre, reloaded and did it again around 10 hands later with 44 v my KK... ♠_love:

Well he had you pegged, then dint 'e?
I never talk in the chat box -- especially to rude people.
But there is hardly ever anybody rude in there these days.
So I call to keep the fish (55/10) flapping about and a passive reg (17/14) joins in for fun in sb.
On the flop I tempt the pilchard because I'm nearly always ahead of him here...then the reg calls.
No probs, just be careful on the turn...
Turn: ($3.04) 8 (3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets $4.64 and is all-in, Hero calls $3.04 and is all-in, SB calls $3.06
River: ($12.20) Q (3 players, 2 are all-in)
Results:
Spoiler
$12.20 pot ($0.10 rake)
Final Board: 2 A 5 8 Q
UTG showed T A and won $0.00 (-$4.02 net)
Hero showed A K and lost (-$4 net)
SB showed 2 2 and won $12.10 ($8.08 net)

You can't think of yourself badly for that hand.
If you tried to "avoid" all the spots where you lose on that board, you become weak passive and lose way, way, more.
The turn reps A8 which is unlikely.
There are no flushes.
There is an unlikely straight -- 34 -- which is unlikely although it is what I expected to see in the spoiler.
