HIRED!!!

They gave me a roughly 7000 word project to finish in 3 days. Which is lol hard because 2500 words takes me about 8-10 hours.
If they like it they will send me more


YESSS

Live hand and analysis:

2100ish eff

CO posts, I iso AQss on button to 50, bb makes it 175. BB is kinda tight but a young aggressive player who I've seen reraise before. I'm pretty sure he's never seen me be super splashy and I certainly have a solid image for the night.

This is a standard call, right? Do we call if we are OOP? Just wondering what 3 bet calling range I should have live 200bb deep both in and out of position.

I call, flop is 245dds, he bets 225. I decide to peel as this bet is kinda weak and unless he has exactly AA I have some equity and can also bluff a fair number of turns.

Turn is Jd, and he checks. I bet 360, which might be too small, but I wanted it to look valuey and I also want to risk as little as possible.

River is 9c and I have to decide if I want to bluff. I felt like it's gonna be super hard for him to put me on air here an his range includes some stuff like AKd that's gonna fold. Not sure if he folds an overpair, even though he should once he takes this line. Pot is probably like 1400 and I have about 1500 left.

i would shove.

I have trouble with that kind of spot.

Preflop - Call is fine. You can't fold. You turn your hand into a bluff if you raise

Flop - Not sure if it's worth a raise here. By not 4 betting we imply we don't have QQ+ (though I rarely 4b btn vs. bb). But by raising we imply we have an overpair and it's bad to fold there so he may not want to bluff.

I certainly don't mind a fold though. I don't hate a float but I think if a diamond comes and we bet it, we need to bet river too. I think we might need to know something about him if we're planning to float here - i.e, that he'll let go of AK or 88 etc.

Agree with everything Socialist said

Klink, why would you shove vs. betting something that looks valuey? Is it to fold an op out? j/w

my analysis ends when i tell myself 'i can't win the pot by checking' lol....

I'd bet more like 440 on turn and shove river.

He's obviously going to peel turn with a lot of stuff (eg ANY pair with a d, also probably black KK or AA) so betting turn w/o planning to shove most rivers is very bad. And if you are shoving most rivers (and you think a river shove is +EV) then betting more on the turn just makes your river shove more profitable.

I think you've been playing live way too long. You thought betting 360 into 810 looked "valuey" and now you are saying that shoving with about 1 PSB left does not look "valuey".

Unsure if misspelling my name is meant to be taking the piss or not

Got some huge life stuff coming up. Buying a house with some creative construction allowing me to get the money for it, should be able to make 100-150k on that in 5-10 years.

Next to that, I was contacted for automation advice by our truck supplier, may be doing organizational design for the transports of the biggest miners in the world in a month or so. The money in that is unlimited, but I mainly care about the challenge.

I feel like a total boss now. Hope this goes through and I won't just feel like one anymore. Super ****ing hyped.

Goodluck man!

Congrats mate

Yeah was just thinking today about how ive put so much effort into working on bet sizing live it has probably hurt more than helped.

LOL

Either my phone autocorrected it or I'm dyslexic cause I didn't even notice.

bump?

watched an abortion today, followed 20 minutes later by twins born by c-section. good times.

for curve:

^LOL

LMFAO

I think that is where the word came from though. Same for joystick.

Edit: Boring - it's from **** fights (as in the birds). And joystick is joy + stick. Those were simpler times...

I don't post too much in here but thought this is a worthy crossposting from the HSNL thread;

Hoping it's OK not to spoiler-tag such mundane exhibitions of female beauty.

Not sure what to make of this. Do we have to laugh, because it's a joke about ***** & ****s?

Can any lawyers in this thread explain to me why http://www.draftstreet.com is exempt from UIEGA? They have daily fantasy leagues with entries from $2 to $55 dollars. How is this not gambling the same way that poker is?

In fact, shouldn't it be WORSE for them, since the 1966 wire act does apply to sportsbetting, and you could make a very strong argument that playing in a fantasy league with a payout is sportsbetting?

I mean, I get that they probably get around it with some clever wordage, etc, but it all seems pretty transparent to me and I don't get why some ****ing lawyer with a hardon to make some noise isn't targeting them.

wasn't the legality of fantasy sports challenged in court recently?

I feel like I heard about it not too long ago.
