Two 8K pots in 2000NL Pokerstars
Poker - Poker Hands
Friday, 05 December 2008 07:43

I played up to 2000NL the last couple of days at Pokerstars.com and although I didn't score quite big, two poker hands won and lost me a $8K pot in each one of them. I flopped a set in the first one and being deep, I managed to shove all my chips before the turn, while in the second one we were heads up and I turned a set holding Kings. However I still needed to improve by the river to win the hand, but I wasn't lucky enough!

May I suggest a good set of books for you... Harrington on Cash Games Vol.1 and Vol. 2.

And Jim, go to Cardrunners.com, it's well worth the money. Yu will learn so much, in so short of time.

Me gia,

I'd been a member of Cardrunners for about 8 months in 2007-2008. I haven't read Harrington's Cash books and don't intend to.

Thanks!
