the good news is, your posts helped, made me focus more on the game, also made me get more adventurous using position, i fell foul to a good draw and went down from 15000 to 3000 with 4 players left and blinds at 250/500, but i nursed the short stack well and hit my own 2 outer to double through and went on to win

About once or twice a month my friends throw a home game where I deal and play. The first time we did this since I have some dealing svhool experiance I was made dealer and I offered to deal only and not to play but I would gratefully accept tips for dealing the night.
This is the first time we did this, about 1 hour in after getting around 8 dollars in tips, I asked is it ok if I play? They said sure you don't have to just deal, play too no problem.
I didn't buy in, I used my "tips".... by the end of the night I had 120 bucks. Now we/they all joke about the night where I took them all with only the tip money I got from them for dealing. Some of them don't tip me anymore
After about a year of this, ( I buy-in now, only did the tip thing that first game) I've only lost my buy-in once, broke even twice and average triple my buy-in most games.

The only advice I can give you here is to play out of your norm, loosen up a bit early-on, play the donkey for an orbit or two.
Throw the table off by playing in a way that the others are not accustomed to, seeing that it's YOUR home game, time to keep the money where it belongs.
you have made yourself predictable and totally readable.

Its time for our weekly home game again, a game in which i have not won in over 4 months, why? i don't know, i play well online, i tend to be more aggressive in tourneys, but for some reason i shell up and become the passive cash cow at the home games, it is not an intimidated thing, i am not scared of conflict or fighting, so i am not becoming passive coz i have a weak nature, i have a better understanding of poker, i know more theories and maths than everyone bar 1 person at the home game. the game is tourney, small $10 buy in, 10,000 stack 20 minute levels starting at 25/50
the usual suspect consist of
Linc = MANIAC
James = LAG
Michael = TAG but ery weak
Damien = Loose Passive pre flop but Agg on flop and Passive turn river (very strange player)
Keith = TAG the guy who knows more than me
Jason = me TAG usually but lately see above
Tim = Loose Passive
Christine = Tight Passive
Erin = TAG
Brendan = Tight Passive
seems like a pretty standard tab... | | Read Entire Entry |
