This would have more merit to me, if there were an epidemic, or even anything more than a random instance where people were posting random TR threads.

To be clear, I don't care if it's locked, but it seems a tad overboard. I know small stakes and mid steaks are different but the fact is 99% of us post/read both. I don't see it as a different set of rules or community.

Bah..this looks like i'm defending the OOP, which wasn't my intention.

All about balance .... At FW, u can get more than one to call the barrels all the way to the end and have them turn over K high.... How perfect is this....

The benefit of "they never fold" is that their range when calling has some really weak hands in it. If they truly never fold, some pretty weak hands become clear value bets.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that's the only way we can avoid survivorship bias.

Really fun NL hand I played last night, I was wondering what you guys think. I'd post in the NL forum but I don't know anyone in there.

2/5 at foxwoods I have about 900 in front of me.

4 people (including utg) limp to a hoodie/sunglasses guy who was trying to play good who makes it 15 to go (lol). I call with qj no suits in the small blind knowing it's going off at least 6 handed.

Pots about 100/Flop comes 672dd, I check and big blind bets 10. Yes 10. He was obviously new and was making bizarre bets like this often. Utg and two others call and hoodie guy makes it 45.

I decided the guy who lead out for 10 was weak because i saw him bet small w a bad hand earlier. Everyone who just called is still wide open and they'd raise all their strong hands. And the for the guy in the hoodie, the biggest hand he can is an overpair and I think he'd fold that to my raise because itd look so strong.

So I raise to 110. BB folds quickly and UTG snap calls! Everyone else folds. Now I'm done with the hand pretty much. Until... An offsuit jack hits the turn. I check and he insta shoves about 400 into about a 400 pot.

Normally I just fold there and tell myself there's easier money to be made, but I actually thought about it for a while and made the call and was good. I just couldnt not think of one strong hand that he'd just flat that 10 dollar bet on such a wet board. I was happy about it, what do you guys think?

Seems awful to me but I don't play no limit.
10-05-2014 , 10:12 AM
Also.... Does anyone know if there are limit hold Em games in Florida?

Given a choice between Bravo Poker and Brown Keeper, I always go for Brown Keeper. Otherwise I would have to believe that you could use an app to find cheaper gas or avoid traffic. What next? Navigate San Francisco by bus? Stick with the methods you can trust.

hey guys, just an FYI. TPiranha (piranha on 2+2) is doing a well/thread here on 2+2. He's been one of the very top LHE players for the last several years. Definitely worth checking out and asking some questions imo:

Preflop is loose & the flop seems like lighting money on fire, but you got lucky on the turn so I guess that's ok. Low Content.

I know pre is loose but I know its going off 6 handed, plus this table was juicy as **** so I was looking to get into pots.

Why do you think flop is bad though? Obviously it isn't standard, but really who can call me? The BB who min bet did not have a hand. He was really really terrible and I saw him do that and fold quickly before, and there was no way he was setting something up or adjusting. Everyone who flats the min bet really can't have a hand either; I would think they would raise any sets or two pairs.

The only guy I was afraid of was the pre flop and flop raiser. But I thought the best hand he could have was an overpair and I felt confident he'd fold it (he told me later he had AA.) My move just looks so super strong.

I was planning on not putting another dollar into the pot if I got any action, but I reevaluated once I hit a pair.

I dunno sorry to get in depth on a NL hand but I just thought it was fun and interesting

A thread in the high-stakes-limit forum?

Since the amount of poker content by forum goes Micros > Small > Medium ... I'll bet it's a complete trash thread. =p

I was once walking past helmuth at the Rio years ago and saw a solid 8.5 smiling near the rail. I started to walk over to spark up a conversation with her, but before I got to her, he whispered, "don't bother, she's got 3 kids already and wont be faithful to you."

I ran to the crowded bathroom (during tourney break) and changed my tighty whities. He's just . . . he's just so dreamy.

What are people's thoughts about discussing the tendencies of a specific player in the game in which all players involved are regulars? There are several aspects of this I find interesting:

1. I think I'd be a bit annoyed if I thought other players were discussing some specific leak that I have and ways they can exploit it. I almost feel like this is something that should be up to each individual to determine for him or herself. At the same time, I don't think it is wrong to discuss hands played with someone else who plays in the same game and it is pretty hard to do so without discussing the tendencies of a specific player. Is there any ethical/collusion issue here?

2. I think this would be very valuable information to divulge to someone else in comparison to discussion about poker concepts in general terms. Because of its high value, I would think you would want to be pretty selective in who you would share this with. I would think you would only want to discuss it with someone at a similar skill level where the benefit would be reciprocated.

3. What about discussing the leaks you think someone has with that specific player? This seems like a very generous thing to do, but does it ever make sense to do it, even if that person is a friend? I guess maybe it could make sense in a scenario where you are both plugging each other's leaks.

I think most good players can figure out how to exploit a player once they figure out what the leak is, but figuring out what the leak is requires paying attention, a correct hypothesis, and sometimes a lot of hands to prove its correctness. I am mostly talking about leaks that otherwise solid or good players have. It is obviously easy to figure out the common leaks of someone who is generally bad.
