First off, you don't know what you're talking about! at 4/8, you're small blind isn't dead...you post it with big blind instead. so instead of posting 2 first to act, and 4 when ur second to act....you post 6 in cutoff. And honestly, this is just ridiculous if I wasn't bored I wouldn't of even said anything. I need evidence that having position is an advantage???? SMH.

[QUOTE=dead.money;52341316] Lol. Your reads are as spot on as ever.

The small blind isn't dead when you post it in position after missing blinds where you play?? I have played in probably 50 different rooms and it was dead in every room I ever played. Can't imagine the rule would be different in 4/8, but I have also played 4/8 in at maybe 15 rooms.

I'm guessing you don't know what the term "dead money" really means, despite your username.

And of course you don't need evidence that position has advantage, I agreed with it. You need evidence that it overcomes the disadvantage of missing 3 hands and having your $2 SB be dead when you post it in position. This means it goes straight into the middle of the pot and does not count as a bet. If someone raises before you, instead of putting $8 total into the pot, you have to put $10 total in.

Actually my ego is so huge that I don't need to play for less than a tenth of my regular stakes just to prove anything to some random 4/8 player.

ok think there is a communication prob here..are you saying that if you post in position you forfeit the amount of money you would have posted in small blind? If not, please explain what you mean by it being dead?

Typing that had to bring a smile to even you

^ I added to my last post an explanation of what your small blind being dead means.

Yes, you basically forfeit your SB money. You do have the chance to win it like everyone else does, if you win the hand, but it does not count as a bet. It is like you are making a $2 "splash pot" for the whole table.

IF ego wasn't an issue you would not have made it a point to state that 4/8 is a 10th of the stakes you play at...and you're not proving anything to me, other than the fact that you are generally clueless... (ZOMG)...I'm 20/40 player...(random 4/8 player)...Oh great, I just play 4/8 can you help me with the concept of position..(ZOMG)...position? whats that? LMAO!!!!!!!!!

The only useful information I've gotten from this thread is that DM is the nut low at using the quote tag.

How are you forfeiting your $2 when you're posting it! in position????

I agree I have no clue how some of this stuff works in here...but once again..is it really worth my time to figure it out? I think not....

DEADMONEY...JRD has kings and flop comes Q72...he raises , next guy calls, button raises, JRD FOLDS! (lmao)..the money he put in pot...is ...

And once again how is posting $6 dollars in position, instead of 2, then 4...forfeiting ANYTHING (all caps are for you JRD..I know how much you enjoy it when I do that) and STinLA, not gonna be much useful info when you're debating an IDIOTIC statement. splash pots lmao...

It would be useful for you to know what happens to the SB when someone comes back to the table and posts after missing the blinds. Keep an eye out for it the next time it happens at your table. I'm. 99.9% sure it will be dragged into the middle of the pot and not count as a bet for the player.

Consider this a life lesson then. Quoting something takes one button press and is much quicker and easier than what you currently do. So you're actually spending more time and effort to do things the wrong way because you're too lazy to learn

Hold button and swipe across what you want...seems to work for me. no xtra time spent? Thanks for the.........lesson? lol.

You're more than welcome to come take all this free money us idiots throw around at 20/40.

How about all the times you misspell out the word Quote and can't figure out understand how brackets work?

LMAO....so you consider it dead because the others at table don't have to post the xtra $2 you're the only one? so they all post 4, but you're posting $6? And you'd rather post the $2 FIRST to act, with no info whatsoever, as opposed to posting it and an additional 4 more in cutoff with option to raise after you've seen everyone's actions but the buttons? ROB you can't be that STUPID...I think you're all just blinded by the BURNING desire for me to be wrong.

On the off chance that you are not trolling and really don't understand how a dead small blind works:

Scenario 1: You post a small blind of $2 in the sb position (i.e., to the immediate left of the button). If it is limped to you and you want to raise, you only have to put in $6 more because your small blind was live. If there is no more betting for the entire hand, you've put $8 total in the pot, the same as anyone who called the raise.

Scenario 2: You miss your blinds and post your $2 small and $4 big blind in the cutoff position. $4 remains in front of you and is live. Your other $2 gets pulled into the center and is dead. If you want to raise, you have to put in $4 more. If there is no more betting for the entire hand, you've put $10 total in the pot, whereas your opponents who called the raise have only put in $8 total.

HELL I cant just walk up and take the money of the idioits I play with...HENCE, the point...too many nights of watchin the table idiot scoop pot after pot..because of LUCK...but I've said all this before...do you have a memory retention prob?

Welcome to the idiot club ST. Your initiation will come momentarily

Translation: every time you've played higher you've gotten hammered

DM, assuming you're serious in your shot taking nittery (as it's pretty much a foregone conclusion you're trolling and everyone interacts with you solely for entertainment), have you ever stopped to wonder how "idiots" seem to be able to weather swings at 20/40 and overcome the "luck" factor to continue playing it, while you continue to play 4/8 and mock guys like jon_locke when he suggests aggressive shot taking of midstakes games by low stakes grinders?

A duhhh, but its not forfieted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so if you win the pot they keep your $2, but if anyone else wins they get your $2??? lmao....
