I had 66 against 88 all in on 888 yesterday and hit a 6 on the river - gave a big yipeeeeeeee, the wife thought I had won the lottery hahaha

Well, sort of — but a very small one.

I would love to do a PT4 filter that showed only hands that were won or lost on the river — whether I was in the hand or not.

New bank high. Start bank $10 new bank $20.84

I lied as well, cashed out my jack set against Aces. The jacks held, so my bank could of been better. Need to grow some balls and take the cashout feature off. I was playing PLO last night so re started it, I cash out a lot with PLO.

Ive been using the cash out feature a bit on GG as there is no fee to use it but im not to sure whether or not it's a good idea or not im undecided. Same with run it twice and three times the extra options are good but the downside to GG is you cant turn them off so it's always tempting.

Yes I know what you mean on GG. Just played an all in with AK against KQ. Should of cashed out on the J6T flop. I didn't and an ACE came on the turn.

GG was a good site for me, but that has really changed this week. 14 buyins down over the last three days. Closed it down and off licking my wounds for a couple of days. :(

I agree about cashout.
The way I have been doing it — is wrong.
I never cash out when I'm behind, since it robs me of the opportunity to suck out.
I cash out when I'm marginally ahead, and I'm pretty sure of the 4BI I lost yesterday I could have saved at least two of them.

If poker really is a long-term grind, then cashing out for 53% of a pot (less the fee) means you lose long term.

It looks like you had a few big pots going to showdown.
Were the rest no-showdown hands, or just small pots.

Nice session in any case...

Yes one all in early with AQs BB against Small blinds 99. Hit an ace on the River lucky boy.

Remember I only play with 50bb and auto top up to 50. Bank will not allow 100bb yet. So I do end up getting all in quite often. Then two pair against a set which I knew he had but still called down :( other than that normal stuff.

your playing 5nl with 50bb stacks ? you could move down to 2nl and use 100bb stacks if your not correctly rolled for 5nl. Playing 50bb stacks at 5nl i imagine will be quite high variance and very swingy.

No on the challenge I only had $10 in stars (first post) so I am playing just 2nl with 50bb stack for 100 hands a day while having breakfast :)

When and if I get 20 buyins I will be moving to 100bb stacks on stars. Until then its 50bb

I mostly play 5nl on GG and 888 with a full stack.

If you're just playing short sessions, that might be one criterion for "a proper time to use cashout"
In a long 1000-hand session, the flips w̶i̶l̶l̶ should even out, but in a short one maybe not.

It is all one big session, said a wise person.

Thought it was going to be a losing session with everyone seeming to hit their draws. But a set saved the day.

Quite true, but the segments of that session have many different aspects, and they differ greatly one to another.
