i'm outta town then!! moms bday in florida....

I am in a league with the likes of mrkilla, Dids, and RJ (LOOOOOOOL!), if we can't get something goign here there may be a spot available. Let me know. Thanks.

can you make an announcement or something, i don't know if many people will see it in here.

When you moved $16 in, did the table bounce?

The Lounge runs a monthly chit-chat thread called the B____ &S____ thread for random stuff. This month is the Baseball & Swimming thread.

Same problem here. Even with home games. It's all NL or SNG's and I don't really like either of them. And Fallsview Casino in Niagara now runs exactly one limit game. And it's 2/5 (what kind of structure is 2/5 for limit, I'm not so sure...). Live limit play has really dried up and it sucks.

tuq,

If you need another in your league, shoot me a PM. I run a work league and am in the BBV4Life league. Of course, if you already have your pigeons lined up just ignore this

As for poker, I play mostly NL$100 6-max. I am a nit running at 24/13 and don't care. I play maybe 5-6k hands a month mostly for an hour or two at a time a couple of nights a week. I hit AC a couple of times a year and Vegas annually and play 1/2 or 2/5 live.

Sigh. River was perhaps spewage, but we had history and how could I put him on that?

well yesterday was a fun day...dropped 10 buy-ins in one session. Hands included flopping top set with KK on a K84 board, seeing the turn and river go A, Ace, and losing to A8.

Dude,

Calling a pre-flop raise with terrible cards and calling a bet on the flop when he missed it completely. That's pretty LOL. I hope you took some of the guy's money.

TDA,

That's quite standard play against all but the loosest and most passive opponents. And even against them, I'd consider 3betting the river because of the chance of a janky two pair. If he got that far with J2s, he could have gotten there with 93, 63, K3, or Q3.

Yeah - and sadly he left right after that hand. Oh well. So it goes. I took a long break from limit, and I'm finding it crazier and swingier than ever. I don't know if it's just the low limits or just 6max, and obviously I want to face players like this, but sometimes it just boggles my mind the way these guys play.

Yeah, I really thought I was good there. Especially after he didn't cap the river.

What are your thoughts on 3betting any pair pf in 6max against these types of players?

That strongly depends on the positions of both of you and how much this guy raises preflop. My first inclination is that 3betting any PP is a bad idea from most combinations of positions for you two. I'd only really think about it if he was opening from the button and you were in the SB.

This was part of an e-mail from mrkilla this morning:

"1) We seem to be one player short (grey) hasn't signed in yet . If you have an idea of a good 2p2er you want to join us they let me have it. I have IndyMatt as a backup but he says he doesnt really pay attention so i'd rather get a player not a filler, this will give us 10 players I was going to go for 12 but 10 seems fair."

I am going to PM him this post link, we could maybe add you, or get three from this forum to take it to twelve.

I don't play nearly as much as I used to on-line thanks to our Govt Anti-On-Line-Gambling moves.

I used to be comfortably rolled for 2-4 or 3-6 and did well in full ring limit games. After the whole government thing, Neteller fiasco, paying for my part of a kids wedding and some car repair bills that I paid for out of my "poker money" that roll is greatly reduced and I don't see it as getting much better playing .5-.10. :-)

Now, have about $40 left on Pokerstars and just dork around playing .5-.10 limit to kill time every now and then.
I play live whenever I have a chance. I play up in Billings every now and then and when I travel I try and find places that have poker rooms, like Las Vegas.

Speaking of Las Vegas, I will be there from Sept 16th to the 21st!!! Yahooo!!! Training class during the day and Poker at night! I'll actually have a car for this trip, which is a first for me in Vegas, and may actually venture out to check out some new places like the Orleans, the Silverton or who knows what. Well, either that or I may just be plopped down in the Excalibur poker room ballin' it up at 2-4 drinking Miller Lights and Frozen Strawberry Daiquiris every night too.
Anyway, if anyone is in Vegas at that time and wants to meet up, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

For some reason reading that hand post made me really really want to start playing limit again, something I haven't done for months.

I might be interested in joining. Is there money and prop bets involved?

Also from the e-mail:

"Cash money - with 10 players it will be a 175 dollar win 50 for second 25 for 3rd, when we get our tenth player I will gather the cash. (probably stars transfer)"

Nothing too serious.

for a while there i was rolled for 5/10 limit 6max and doing pretty well at it (at least, well enough to stay afloat), but i have to play on a shorter bankroll than i like, what with living expenses and whatnot. then, in a span of a month, this happened:

1. took some shots at 10/20
2. ran really, really bad over like 15-20k hands
3. government bill shut down PP

i built some of it back up, but with the film i couldn't afford to get a job (b/c then i wouldn't have hit my deadlines, not even close), so now i've got some extra debt and i've gotta start looking for a day job. i'm not really happy about it

The same thing happened to me last year exactly. I was overrolled actually for 5/10 6max on Party, took a shot at 10/20 and got destroyed. I mean just killed. From all the levels I've seen, the biggest jump seems to be from 5/10 to 10/20. 2/4 to 3/6 was also a big difference in play, but the 10/20 just absolutely killed me.

my problem is i hate rebuilding because 2/4 and 3/6 drive me nuts. i prefer to play 5/10 and 10/20. i just enjoy the style of play more

I had the same trouble in NL - I prefer nl200, but because of going nuts one night and bustoing, I've had to rebuild back through nl25, then nl50, and now nl100 (though probably only briefly) . I took some time out during this not just on rebuilding though, but on experimenting with different styles and hand ranges, and shortstacking, so actively made it a learning experience that I think has been highly beneficial, and is now actually reaping pretty +EV rewards.

Yes. I post in the heads up and medium stakes limit forums. I don't agree at all with the 2+2 style of playing NL, so there is no use for me to post there. Also, I believe the majority of them are idiots.

You can also see me cameo in the Stud Forums.

But, yeah. What happens is that you get too good for your level. You realize that most of the posters are serious losers at the game. It's like I can help and give back, but I am no longer stimulated.

the 25 bucks is to keep the game honest and every one interested
