re-buy per session.

pokerJAH · Dec 15,2011, 08:32 AM

once there are two other players effectively committed to this hand, not much you can do but hope you catch up. With these betting patterns I figure I am facing at least one set and maybe another flush draw. Depends on the habits of these players. Are they pushing draws or only betting big hands? Example aside, I would try focusing on building pots where you know you are ahead and try not to build pots where you need to catch up. See if that makes a difference in a couple sessions. Its really game dependant based on the aggression/passiveness of the other players.

btw, is this at a club or casino?

You really shouldn't rebuy. Even if the game looks good it may very well not be. If you lose your first buy in you won't play as well.

huh? If you can't rebuy, you don't have an adequate backroll. If you can't play well after losing one buy-in, you shouldn't be playing at these levels.

At one time I stepped back from playing 5/5 because I wasn't comfortable with the $$ swings. Once I felt more comfortable at these levels, I returned these games.

If you lose your 1st buyin, shrug it off rebuy and play well, it will look very strong. I would even buy in for half max to have _at least_ 1 rebuy. Especially true for me due to infrequent sessions and commuting time to the poker room.

Guess I'm a fanboy, even at my age but for example check out Elements of Poker and the carpenter being prepared for a job.

I also recommend only buying in for the minimum when you first sit down at a table. Ignore at all costs the temptation to 'get even'.

Both of these are generally very wrong, and I hope you are just trolling.

Well, except for the "get even" part.

should have saved my lol for this...you should buy-in for as much (if possible) as the weakest player at the table, always.

$300 for 5/5 is not enough. 80BB+ would be more suitable and just add-on as you dip below say 60BB. YOU SHOULD NEVER play to zero BB and then rebuy multiple times! I see this every time I play and I don't understand the logic

? What's really funny is the guy that is doing this always hits a big hand when he is down to 25BB and would have gotten paid off if he had 80BB+ behind him.

300 -0, 300 - 0 300 - 0, 300 - 0, 300 -0 makes no sense!!

Even GTA may agree with me on this point!
