Hey all,

I'm a student here in London flopping around in the 1/2 - 2/5 NLHE games here.

Have seen quite a few London live threads from the likes of acidhaussss, Hu4hoes etc which have been fascinating and I always do keep a lookout to see if I get featured in any HHs! If any of you UK guys are reading this, props to your PG&Cs, super entertaining and you guys seem like solid lads. Decided I'll jump in and join the fun and start a PG&C as well after having lurked around 2P2 since 2012.

My Poker History:
2012 - Begin playing online underage LDO
2013 - Beat MSNL at pretty good clip
2013-2016 - ??? Online poker banned
2017/2018 goals - Beat 100/200NL at a good clip again and battle with live 2/5 regs

Unfortunately, school has been intense and I don't have a whole lot of time for poker/studying it. Highly doubt I will be able to put in a reasonable sample size at 100NL to see my winrate. I intend to keep poker as a hobby (a profitable one of course) and will post HHs or random rants in this thread as part of it.

Looking forward to seeing some of you guys at the tables

Population underbluffs this spot for sure. Do I only call 10s and the rare Ax boats i have that take this line??

Anyway, all in all, I think I'll do fine at 2/5. Don't really feel too lost playing with the regs and was pretty clear on what needed to be done for the most part. A part of my game I need to work on would be straddle spots which are rather unfamilar to me coming from an online background. Also, I should stop spewing at 1/2 and realise I have no fold equity ever and all regs are nits who have AA and wont fold.

gl pal, nice session that!

Think the hands basically just a cooler really especially if you dont know the guy; think its particularly dirty especially as you potted the river and he ripped river but I'm still not folding.

Think you're risking 800:1030 so really need to be good like 25-27% of the time? AA(1) TT(3). AT(3); he only really needs to be "overplaying" 2 combos of AK to make it a break-even call so probably flicking in tbh.

Also,

a) When someone has a low amount of value hands that are better than yours, they really dont need to be bluffing that often, or to make a play that you wouldn't necessarily yourself.
b) You see odds stuff all the time and you havent seen the guy that much.

Anyway gl! : )

Hey man thanks for stopping by

Yeah, the thing is I would include A2s that would take the same line (maybe discount a combo of TT though since I think the more standard play is just flat pre). I also find it realllly hard to believe that any reg would rip it in with AK in this spot unless they're absolutely terrible. Its really pretty close whether I'll be right 25%



Hope to see you at Hippo soon! Still haven't figure out who you are
