Hi guys!
On my farewell from online cash games, I have a hand for you guys. I'm going to stop playing online cash for a variety of reasons. I'll focus on live play and other formats I've been playing for fun.
After so many years playing cash I'm done with it. It started to get too monotonous and I'm really tired. Besides, the new introduction of the all-in cashout feature just helps the decision. I'm from a country where the market doesn't have shared liquidity and the player pool is too small. I was currently playing NL25 and the edge is already pretty small. I've been facing the same strong regulars day after day and the swings have been massive.
I don't think I could stand this for a living and the higher I climb the more difficult it is going to get. Besides, I can't really put volume because I can't multi-table.
About the hand itself:
Decided to play a little NL2 just for fun.
I think the hand was well played and I'm posting for you guys to have some study material and for all of us to learn something. I'm just going to post my thought process. Feel free to express your opinions.
Preflop: 2bb open-raise, I'm defending basically 80% of the hands here. QJo more than strong for a call.
Flop: flop the nuts, plan was check-raise.
Turn: decided to donkbet because there are so many hands I can get value from. Any 6x, Jx, any set. When he raises I decided to 3bet because he will still call with Jx.
River: pairs the board and it's the end for me - check/fold. Don't think any straight bets here after the turn action. Only full-houses.
I will keep posting regularly on this section.
