I dont, in fact I think he'd call down with it which is why against him I think playing a pair like the nuts in the easiest way to get max value out of him. Especially on a dry board like this because he just assumes you have nothing and goes nuts.

Depends on your definition of "winning." I bet he crushes bad players who give up in the face of his aggression, and dont take him to value town light enough. He never adjusts to anybody though, and often picks horrible, horrible spots to spew on the big streets. Against good players, it wont work and I'm sure he's a loser to most winning players. Anything higher than 10/20 and I bet he gets eaten alive.

exactly.
Being too spewy postflop is hardly much of leak vs lots of the players at this level.

Agreed. If he's a winning player or not, probably depends solely on how well he table selects

again, if he has undiscounted AJ AQ AK KT KJ KQ, the turn cap is already immediately -ev, and then the river bet is bad because he can still bomb you with good trips/straights/boats. just because he 3bets ace high sometimes there doesn't mean you need to cap and lead. it does mean that you should be more willing to check raise there with any kind of hand since he valuetowns himself, though.

there are also times he does fire another stupid barrel with K-high, too, imo. if you want to ignore that and do some math even assuming this ******ed 3-betting range, that would be better than saying anything else on the issue.

assume that he only value bets you if he pairs up on the river if you just call and that he'd raise you on the river with Q9+ or something if you cap/lead. if it's close in ev, then obviously cap/lead is worse than calling down.

I just came.

I think he has the ablility to be a decent winner ( if hes not already), same with SuitedKings. When they are on their A-game I think both are pretty strong players, but i see a lot of tilt coming from both players, that what we refer to as "spew", but k3454 actually plays me quite passive id say, after we had our earlier run ins. Granted i only played 150k total lhe hands the last 3 months, and NL before that since paradise shut down. ( anyone else played the 20-40 or 40-80 paradise games on here?)

played the 20-40 many years ago

remember me(bk1248) or jfthomas, we were usually top 5-10 on paradise total weekly player points, but this was 3-4 years ago, "many" seems longer ago? Was ur screename chezlaw on ther also?

Chezlaw back then as well but it was about 7 years ago, Angelica was a famous name back then. I fairly quickly dropped down to the 3/6-10/20 5 max games.

I was one of their highest volume players but stopped playing there before they had points (shortly after they got bought out and the site went to the dogs). Can't recall if we played though your name is familiar.

At 10/20 I agree, because I used to spew pretty hard and never really got punished for it, but at 15+ you will most likely get murdered if you consistenty spew. The trick is to find just the right amount vs decent players so they dont start doing anything silly like folding to you when you have it.

Angelina was an aggro puta.

What is the story with play faster PL? He is supernova, appears to be a winner, plays 40/20, but usually sits down shortstacked, with $20 at 2/4.

What's the word on poopypants. All I know is I love his avatar. Gets me every time.

BTW any reads on me? DaveD123

dookiestain? seems like another 1/2 fpp whore.

I'm nikeoz on stars. I'm sure all u guys love me.

Just to add the k345 fun...CO here.

He didn't play this hand that bad

SB took a line of strength. Call down is awful

obv depends on the SB, it's right against some players.

zomg_rigged is leveling. anyway, that hand proves he doesn't just auto 3-bet ace high on the turn.

what the hell is spotty dottie doing?

He's short stacking 15/30 with less than $200 a table? He's buying in for 145, and once he rebought for 84.50? Cant imagine what he gets out of this rebuying for less than 6 BB's? 3 hands later he has AA vs JJ vs AK, and only has 60 in his stack and missed huge value.

I just cant imagine what the angle is when someone that good handicaps themselves like that

If k345 is a winner, he's probably a very marginal one, or a winner only after FPP rakeback. I recall that he used to play a lot nittier (just as I used to) and was overaggressive postflop. It seems to me as though he's just doing the same things he used to do but with a weaker hand range (surely this hurts his win rate?!).

It's odd, there's a bunch of players like this at 2/4. They're like LAGTAGs who open limp and cold call too much, is there a term for that? LAGTAGFISH?

Bureaucrat1 is another that comes to mind right away.
