Multi-Tabling, August 28, 2010
The 5-10¢ tables were tight, as usual, so the King stayed at the 2-4¢ tables, but achieving a higher end of the year earnings was also important, so he tried multi-tabling. The session went well and his efficiency was about 95% that of playing on just one table. The problem of keeping track of table selection was solved by having both games of the same type, namely, loose and somewhat passive. Mason Malmuth, in Poker Essays volume one, wrote that medium size pots are the best pots to play in. These pots are bet and raised once on the preflop and flop and with the smaller pots - they are usually not raised much. An interesting occurance is that games usually become tigher and aggressive, people get tired of losing so they play tighter. By being aggressive, the try to knock out the players after them by raising and reraising and if they succeed the pot will be contested by fewer players. Loose aggressive games are just terrible sometimes because of their wild fluctuations.
QUITTING WHILE AHEAD - A MINOR MISTAKE
Some players play until they get ahead and then they quit when they win a big pot or two. In poker, the odds of winning a pot are low, so the graph of a buy-would be gradually declining and occassionally it would spike up when a pot is won. The blinds are the least profitable positions and the right time to leave the table is just before the blinds, but some people are so tired from long sessions, trying to get even. that they leave the table after winning a big pot. They don't wait till the blinds reach them. The King, in a year has not left a table, until the blinds reach him, more than a few times.

FULL MOON SHINING
This photo was taken because there was a familiar avatar at the table. 1) Don Corleone is from Lubin, Poland, 2) JCFB028 from Lima, Peru, 3) Joant - Zaandem, Holland, 4) Seobanker - Kpeme??r, Turkey 5) Tripanic - Millington, Tennessee, 6) Gonzsay - Corrientes, Argentina, 7) Vasia10 - Mockba (Moscow is spelled Mockba), 8) xSheryjanex - Telford, England, and waiting to come on is Llyashka - Minsk, Russia. Actually, since working on the starting hands project, game play has been minimal, and since beginning there are not many familar avatars. The player with the red and black avatar with the Batman type of logo was aggressive. Many times the avatar reflects the playing style,and the major concern is the avatars that look like the player might be aggressive and bet and bet.
There was a white sheet of paper under the screen and the screen had a lot of reflected light on the bottom part, but with photoediting the white glare was minimized.
THE KING OF MICRO LIMIT POKER
RESIGNED TO ANOTHER YEAR IN MEDIOCRITY
Draw poker, so far, is more appealling as a second game besides limit hold 'em. There are only two rounds of betting compared to four in hold 'em. PokerStars has a fair number of five card draw games. Because each player holds five cards instead of two in hold 'em, the amount of players is limited to six or less. One of poker's strange outcomes is that there is more stability with more players in the game. Stablity in the buy-in and bankroll are key considerations for the King
