probably puke/call the river thinking he chased his Q. however, i wonder why you didnt cap that preflop vs these villains? you also were oop. you have to bet here and obviously call a raise from a...
sorry for the lack of conversion, but i had my thoughts typed out in an email to a friend. well, and its really low content humor.
PokerStars Game #47369462208: Hold'em Limit ($0.25/$0.50 USD)...
lol. good to see you, dog.
me either. but, it was fun (and completely nerve-wracking) to give it a shot. i haven't attempted calculations like that in two years. i felt it was close, in the heat of moment, because i felt...
Korn, I really want to raise here, too. I can't see what you are behind unless some of the players are really passive with JJ or something. I don't think there's an A in someone's hand. However, I...
villain did open raise, but i don't find it as risky because of the runner runner. I heavily discount a flush here. When one hits the turn, and the straight lands on the river, I see lots of solo...
Any way we can mathematically figure out the most EV play? Not that I dont believe you guys, i just want to know how to figure this stuff out for the future.....and i wonder how close the two lines...
Gotta admit, I auto-fold here. Facing 2 cold vs maniac and a solid player that wants action? I have 3-4 outs at best. Sure, they pay off, but I'm out on the cheap street before I hit that A on the...
Here is a hand I recently played that I thought was interesting....given the stakes. Here is the struggle: At 25c/50c, and below, you need to really be pounding the value. I mean POUNDING. You can't...
I haven't read/seen this post in a long time.
As for efittery's question, your math is correct. In poker, very generally speaking, when you have an edge, any money going into the pot will show...
as i understand it you are playing full ring now....
pfr - way too low. get used to raising weaker cards. you are too easy to read when you raise.
3bet - do it more, especially from the...
"Rock" doesn't say much. We need more description of his play.
I still 3bet this flop, though (I severely discount sets here because most passive players wait for the turn to c/r their sets). 1-...
there's no reason to be a punk about it. sometimes we get in a hurry to post a hand and w/o a converter, we just post the whole thing. i dont see that as a big deal. and, i certainly wouldnt...
i would steal his blinds more often than not, but respect the hell out of him when he plays back at me. he is likely rather tight, but that doesnt mean he is. watch his fold to blind numbers, or...
i would, personally, like to see what ICM says about this. we figure to be well ahead of his range, BUT he has us covered if we shove and he calls. do we want to busto right now or wait until we...
to me, shoving made little sense. i raise enough to get the job done. if either call, i am done w/o a pair or read. shoving puts your entire tourney on the line when the rare time happens that the...
blinds are super tight. open limper is 44/10 ish over small sample, but seems loose passiveish. overlimper is 95/0 and might be a complete idiot. i figure this is sort of a squeeze spot? maybe...
jeez, what did i do with the converter?
i will agree to disagree, at the lowest of stakes, with you guys (i am just not conviced yet based on my results over my dinky sample).
i was going to tell you guys a little "adjustment" i made...
i also think there is a "stage" at which we become more aggro.....both in the tourney and in a hand. in tourneys, typically 50/100 levels. in hands, typically the turn when our equity is strongest...
In a limped pot, I take my shot for half a bb with AQo. And, when I flop trips, I may kick myself when there is aggression. But, I am not laying this down, especially in a $10.80. What other flop...
Fold. I dont know ICM well, but I know 4 of the remaining 6 at your table don't either. Let them make mistakes. They will.
The DON's used to produce a 62% ITM for me at the 10's. But, I am sure that's a thing of the past. And, even that was nerve racking when the variance kicked in. I, too, see your point about an ISP...
then, i will get crushed.....lol. i havent ever worked on ICM, other than a basic reading of it.
good to know, nak. thanks. you playing DONs anymore? i know you dabbled last year and a little...
