Your lucky dude my draw would have failed. Your not a favorite vs aces with that draw.

Would argue that the first call was poor, and the second was good (preflop)

After investing $10 we need to invest $10 more with great implied odds to win $60, $40 of it not ours invested. Also 67cc has the highest % of cracking big pairs.

First call meh, second call we priced ourselves in with the first mistake.

Flop get it all in, I'm never folding flop.

Lol goodness. If you guys aren't calling with SC's IP to the pfr then what % of hands are you guys playing?
If there are people at your table that love to 3b and squeeze then obv fold (if i get this kind of table I'm switching tables quickly). The games I'm in no one 3b's without AK at least. More often than not they only 3b QQ+.
Not to mention SC's go up in value due to implied odds as no one can fold over pairs.

also, got caught last nite by the floor for multi-tabling the limit Omaha hi-lo game and PLO at the same time. i guess they saw me walk back and forth too many times, lol.

im such a degen. must maximize my action any way possible. lol.

The key word is "absolute" position.

I'm a little "meh" on the call only because we are first to call and are in MP. 2 callers in front and on the CO/button, then call all day every day.

I am a bit nitty with IO hands in MP and have no problem admitting it.

Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
'cause you are the wind beneath my wings.

elaborate.
If we don't worry about getting 3b except by top 3% of hands then I don't mind playing SC in MP in a MW pot.
Even if there is 1 or 2 people that have position on me.

your flat of an EP raiser is an unknown female, this should take into effect, let alone your not all that deep. Its not terrible if you know whats going on, and from your posts you are one of the looser regular posters with a pretty good postflop game. but still, flatting there is a mistake.

This is coming from me, who raises pretty wide from position and is a nit for calling villains raises because they almost always have a top 5% hand. So ya, am a "nit" in that regard but I do well with it.

Your play is like reaching for something instead of getting a stool.

I'm a position nit, I only reach with absolute position, that means the button sir.

Well to each their own then eh?
To just flat out say "calling pre is bad" isn't' really that accurate(at least for my game). Posting and reading in llsnl has helped my game a lot, but the fad of saying "fold pre" doesn't really accomplish anything. Not saying there aren't a lot of posters that should be folding pre haha, but I think we need to at least elaborate on why, if nothing more than to just provoke discussion and thinking about the hands. Which is the whole point of this forum.

Squares I have in my small square pool:

NY NE
8 8
5 4
9 7
4 1
1 0
9 0
2 9
8 3
0 3
7 2

Those are not bad at all. I bink one of them and I am freerolling this one and my $25 one. I haven't got the $25 one yet, but the payouts in that are $250, $550, $750, $1000. I generally run good in squares, so here is hoping for some super run good. Bink 3rd and 4th quarter.

Trip report Vegas part 4/ week 2

so i extended my trip 'cuz:

1] i run like every God in mythology rolled into one.

2] I can do it indefinately on Southwest, postponing my reservation over and over again, with no penalty.

3] the Monte Carlo comped me 3 more nites 'cuz they lost my laptop for 24 hours. (long stressful story). (see God-run (above^^^)).

losing my laptop proved to me that as long as you are at a poker table, you are out sight of trouble (unless you scream "FIRE" at the top of your lungs).
the worst thing that can happen is that you go pocket broke. that's nothing. if anything, it would give me an excuse to not work, oh, i mean play, and just take it easy. (whew!)
I would have much rather lost my roll than my laptop; money is replaceable, and its all the same. beji after benji.

So after a day of life tilt with my macbook in limbo, or perhaps on craigslist, whichever, i decide that i'm too exhausted to play NL, 'cuz i'm prone to mistakes in this state. and to top it off, the week day games at Aria get grindy (i h8 playing w/ poker players, give me drunk gamblers, please.)
i'm prone to mistakes in any state, so why jump out of the skillet into the fire?? you know?

so i go off and make the biggest mistake of all.
this is how bad i suck da pokers;
I go look for some action.

I get 'hustled' into playing HU mixed games by some young drooling (over a tourist like your truly) Vegas grinder. $1 rake (kinda high imo)
i'm not saying that he was'nt smart, by using the word 'drooling', but maybe just a little over-confident in his abilities.

How does a Vegas grinder identify a tourist fish??

Spoiler:

he doesnt recognize him as he walks in the door, lol

(by the way, this is actually a take-over, a high-jacking of the chat thread in order to keep as low profile as possible, while sharing w/ my friends here, Aceplayer, BigSkip, VeniceT, PokerBlows, you know who you are.
so i apologize for not making my own TR thread.)

so we draw for the button>
I bink it: King
I tell him that i'm King Stampler (stampler means spade in my home game), and you better be the Ace of Crubs to beat me.
he laffs.

to be continued. getting picked up to go to dinner. gotta dash...
