Think you can still get the 35k for it if you bring it in your hands?

Stars play money no longer beatable due to rake.

Haha, no, but I occasionally play that game. Why does he say that?

A few months ago I played HUHU 10k/20k for an hour. We paid 800k in rake.

IDK, but I like to troll him w/ DEDEDEDEDE! when I beat him.

Also I started a thread about Star's obscene play money rake. I'm still winning, tho.

Tomorrow I bring in this very old, broke down computer to a Mac store for them to transfer my stuff into a new MacBookPro. Any tips for how to go an entire day w/o the internet? Advice needed by 8am when this old thing has done it's last.

Well since testicles are the order of the day, may I suggest a self-exam?

Most importantly, do it regularly and often, so that you know what normal feels like and what abnormal feels like.

Well, I did catch the nuts on that last hand.

As long as they were yours

I do believe we have a thread title:

"February NC/LC: How to get the nuts in one hand"
02-09-2016 , 09:40 AM
"two nuts one hand"
02-09-2016 , 03:34 PM
One nut one hand for the testicular-impaired.

It seems like there is a new poker boom... among 12 year old boys.

Planning on hitting opening day of Deadpool? I'd like to.

So last night at the local Indian casino was playing jackpot poker because the bad beat jackpot is $42k. It's the type of game where the OMC's (in their 80's) ask 'how much?' and 'what's the bet' EVERYTIME it's their turn to act even though we've been playing 4/8 for SIX EFFIN' HOURS!!

I amuse myself by raising in late position fairly regularly with ATC, picking the most annoying person and raising their big blind every time, which sometimes spins them into a fury. Lotsa laughs. When I am in hell this will be the game playing.

The big Gem and Mineral show is in town and there is not a hotel room to be had. Around 8 pm three out of town hood rats (prison tat's and whatnot)wander in and sit at our table, buy in for $40 each, just as the round ball splash pot promotion is taking place.

The house will double the points scored by Texas (vs. OKlahoma) and splash the pot at each table, four tables playing in an 8 table room.

First hand hood rat raises and I have 77 so I call. Flop A33. HR1 bets I call. Turn is a seven. Bingo. HR1 bets I raise and it gets capped. River blanks and same thing. HR1 turns over AA. Nice first hand sir.

A few hands later and it's the splash pot. $82 gets put in by the house, on the kill, and here we go. First bet is capped and we have nine players in for $32 each plus the $82 splash. I look down at 6-8 off suit. Flop is QJ4, two spades, and it checks around?!

Turn is a 7, which puts two diamonds on the board also. So you're saying there is a chance. One player bets $16 and everyone calls, we lose one player. Might have been a raise, not sure at this point. Several people are all in at this point and the dealer has to manage 3 or 4 side pots.

River is a miracle 5 but a diamond and am skeered of the flush. Hood Rat #2 yell's '...that's it baby!...' and slams down a $16 bet I can only call and a few more call behind.

My hand is good and I take down ~$520 pot. I rack up and leave after tipping the staff about $50.

Save all the fold-pre, tldr and 'you play like a donk' and tell me the biggest pot you have ever seen in a 4/8 LHE game?
02-09-2016 , 04:35 PM
This seemed more like a BBV post than strategy, so I moved it here.

$520 pot including $80 splash? That's 27BB @ 8/16? Seems large. Largest of all time? Definitely played in 2-5 spread limit pots ~$1000 with no splash, but the game didn't count the first two straddles vs. the 5 raise cap preflop... what is that ~$240/street if you manage to cap 8 ways to the river.

The splash is smaller in BB in 8/16 game than it would have been @ 4/8.
02-09-2016 , 04:40 PM
lost track of all the bets in the excitement, the $16 turn bet may have been raised and called by 7 or 8 players. I was just checking and calling like a donk and just trying to get there!

Tried to see the mythical 2/4. Still mythical.

Soft 1/3 NL not mythical, though.

Straddle, BTN calls, SB calls, BB calls, straddle raises to 21 all call. Flop (K9)3 SB donks 20 Straddler raises to 45 SB calls. Turn K SB check/calls 50. River 9 SB check/calls AI about 80, Straddler shows AK, SB rage shows AA.

When are places going to start implementing a Third Man Talking rule? (This is when there is an active conversation going on at the table and an extra person decides to unsolicitedly interject and they are subsequently picked up)
02-10-2016 , 11:09 PM
All right so I am gonna play the vaunted 30/60 half kill game at blackhawk in a couple weeks. What is a number of BBs to feel relatively comfortable for a couple day session. Generally I'd say 100 or so but from what I remember that game can be pretty swingy.

Also, according to Bravo for the last couple nights they have that plus 1/3 and 2/5. Is that accurate? Amazes me that there are no smaller LHE games.
