fold pre

Disagree, villain is 40, too old to fold an over pair...

why c/r non spade turns if you think he only bets again with an overpair/wont lay an overpair down?

Anyone else c/r this turn after he puts that bet out there? I feel like he has an overpair but no spade. Also you said he thinks you could have flush draw. I c/r turn and bet again on river.

great posts gb

I am c/r'ing non spade turns that make my hand because I am repping a range including FDs and will thus get paid more often.

I meant utg+1 not calling the 3b.

raising small pp's from EP in a live tourney is rarely profitable from experience. online it's different.

Agree a lot with some points made by Gbears.

Seems decent for a 40 year old LOL

Average age of 2011 NLHE Bracelet winners?

So I'm newish to posting but have been playing and lurking quite a bit over the years. I don't want to be an ass or anything and I definitely think it must be tilting as **** to be a good player that is older than the mean age of this board. In fact, reading this board everyday probably tilts you or at least causes a non-zero amount of eyerolls at the supposed old people hate in threads.

Honestly though, when you play a live tournament and see other players at roughly your age what is your first thought.

is it: "He seems like a reasonable person and is probably a strong player/reg/thinking player until proven otherwise"

or is it: "probably a standard bad person who knows little strategy and seems like an obvious spot for me to punish and win lots of chips from until proven otherwise"

I have to think its the latter. Look at paulgibbo. Nice dude, not in the 18-28 range that a lot of this site is. Solid contributor and solid player live (never played him online). My first thought when I see him at a table is going to be the same as when I see anyone else who looks like him. "Probably a soft spot."

Now after playing an orbit or two, it should become fairly clear that he is both not terrible, and actually probably thinking, might read 2p2, etc. I have no dislike for older players and respect many considerably older than me (25), but they certainly don't get assigned any degree of skill above mouthbreather status until they show me they actually know whats going on.

Does that still seem offensive or are we good here?

Hmmmm, all my posts in this thread were jokes, no exceptions. I'm not the kind of person who gets upset over stuff like this

Wait, was that just a joke too? Leveled I guess. You were probably the villain in this hand.

If you call the flop you should lead the turn.

I can't wait to see what happens with these stereo types 15 years from now when all the wizards on here are close to 40.

Does anyone else find V's turn bet to be inconsistent with other streets? 2K is pretty aweful here as if he knew hero was on a draw and wanted to milk him. V is either way better or worse than you thought.

ha! inspired.
