not so bad

Well I still have not been able to get on the site that barred me.
So last night I went back to a couple of old favorites.
Lasted 90 minutes in the 5000 player freeroll and picked up a few buck on teh cash tables and some cheap buy in sit and goes.
But will take a while to get back that $200 'locked' bankroll.

Barred!

Can you believe it, I've been barred from a poker room!!??
I got my freeroll winnings to over $200, made the required deposit but they just ignored my email requests.
Lost count of the number I sent..all very polite of course, but no reply!
I do not think they are making any money.
They offer a $3 freeroll every 30 minutes with $5 for 5 hours.
But there is very, very little cash action.
No rake!
Well, that's life I guess!
Will let you know if I ever get my money.
Not holding my breath!!
See you soon

Big Slick

Big Slick is a great hand to get but how do you play it?
All the theory says raise at least 3 times the big blind to have the best chance.
But what about when the flop comes with a pair?
I am beginning to think that the most profitable way is just to call and see the flop cheaply.
I am going to try a different style of play.
I am going to go from the classic 'tight aggressive' to 'tight passive'.
That means I will still only play strong starting hands, but rather than try to get players out before the flop I shall just call and how things change on the flop.
I have found that with 'tight aggressive' I put a lot in before the flop but if the flop does not help I either check it away or put more money in the try and take the pot only to lose to a weaker starting hand.
Anyway, I'll give it a go and let you know.

site

Almost forgot to tell you my web site!
www.pokersisters.com
why not join the forum and talk to some other women players?

Why?!

Why is it that when I get aces in the big blind everyone fold to me?
Why do my suited connectors never match the board?
Why after a long wait I get a half decent hand like ace eight but the guy to my left has gone all in?
Wht does the river always seem to favour the other guy?
Why when I get kings there is always an ace on the flop?
Poker I guess!
But at least I am still ahead!
