I multi-tabled (i.e. 2-tabled, which is a lot for my ADD mind to handle) micro PLHE 6-max tables last night. The results were, um, positive, I guess. In hindsight, I felt like I was limping a lot more than would be optimal. On the other hand, I was largely dealt crap and when you're battling with a lot of limpers and calling stations, it's best to wait for something to hammer them with.
I kept hitting bottom or middle pair on weak flops and having to lay down hands to strong turn/river bets. I called a few of these and did pick up a bluff or two, but probably bled more chips than I gained from that strategy. Once with a decent pocket pair (99) on a board with all undercards, I kept getting called on each street by a guy with a ridiculous VPIP. The river peels off an ace and he leads out into me. I type "Ace-rag wins again" and fold. Of course, I'm then called a whiner, an idiot, and clever and all that. That's fine. Say what you want, just stay at my table please. I'm also thoroughly convinced that I was right.
I never hit a straight or a flush all night. Flopped one set that turned into quads but only got marginal action. Had KK later on and saw a K44 flop, and I led out from EP with a probing bet that I thought someone might play back on. Nope.
There was a lot of "hit and run" at these tables. Guys would show up, try to chip up quickly, and if they won a big pot they'd bail. Some idiot shows up, flops sets twice in four total hands played, then takes the money to a table with 5x the stakes. Jerk.
Long story short, after being stuck for around a buy-in, I finally clawed back to a marginal profit.
Me thinks this is almost as bad as it can get at these tables.
