So I played a short session today and pretty much everyone playing 600nl on stars tonight was either a 12 tabling 18/14 nit or a buy in for $360 and see if I can’t make a run at it shortstack. It really allowed me to open up my game considerably preflop as you can see above. I ended up doing pretty well thanks to some suckouts 🙂 but in general these are my two least favorite opponents to play against which is why I ended up quitting after so short of a session. One huge nit in particular was on my direct left on two tables which was nice because when it was folded to me in the small blind, his big blind was just free money. I could literally open any two cards from the sb and he would never call and I could insta fold when he 3 bet me (which was pretty rare). This was my favorite hand of the session.

I made a post on CR forums about blind battle calling and shoving ranges because this is something I have struggled with in the past. I’d appreciate any input people have.
I’m currently taping “Children of Men” on HBO and I’m very excited to watch it. I love almost all sci-fi/futuristic movies. I wish they would make more. Some of my favorites I can think of off the top of my head are:
Blade Runner
Minority Report
I, Robot
Terminator 2
Fifth Element
If you can think of any others I may have not seen in this category please leave me a comment. Sorry no entertainment this post, gonna go 6-8 table some 400nl for awhile cuz at least I’ll get action there.
In that 86s hand I would strongly consider shoving the turn. I really don’t know what hands these guys do this with, but I imagine it’s some sort of top pair that he may well fold. I’m not really sure about the river play. I assume it’s a bluff to get him off top pair – I think this bluff is more profitable on the turn.
