disregard, pyro taking me on, should be entertaining to rail

he got a match, he took like 5 bets or so

ne other takers?

Oo nice one, coincidence I just had a really fun 10-20, 500 hand, 2 hour $200 rake $1k profit game over on Luckyace. Guy wasn't an arse but he was v unusual, limp pf 100%, bet out flop in or oop 95%. Paid off big when I hit nuts. Sounds easy (ok it probably was) but took me a good while to get into how to play him and he was 400 up a couple times.
And he said 'ok I go now' ~10 times regularly throughout the session.

many of the posters here are really more experienced than me on this game. so i thought about coming here and asking something about ethics on the game.

I was sitting at an "A" table at ftp when a reg ( you prob know who ) comes and sit at my table, i politely tell him that i dont want to play him and he doesnt answer, just stays there to get my table. what do you think about it ?

Not really that smart to talk about that here for obvious reasons just contact FTP support.

swim

that river bet is an insanely tough bluff to pull off, you have to really be on a high level

I think it's not your table anymore.

imo

BTW...if any of you guys happen to be railing my game and type something funny in chat when my moronic opponent does something stupid, I'm not ignoring you. I'm laughing with you, just don't want to tap the glass by responding in chat.

if the guy is willing to play you, you leave table and find another.

i have no idea why this shouldn't be talked about publically

This actually helps?
Yesterday I was also sitting at "A" table, when someone sits down. I would actually play this guy, but he only sits out.
I asked him nicely if he could play or just leave the table. He responded like that: "You can leave whenever you want, this is my table."
:P
I felt like a kid when I said: "Well, I was here first."
After few minutes, he said "FU." and left

Same thing happened like 10 minutes after that with some other guy.
I guess it was full moon yesterday, or something like that.

LOL. I had something similar. Some random sat down, won the first hand and sat out. I asked him if he was playing more, and he said no. I waited for a while, then explained to him why it was called hit and RUNNING.

Uhhhh because there were probably a lot of people who had no clue but now that they have been let in on the secret.........

the secret that tables are alphabetically listed? you kidding?

Unconventional lines from myself due to unconventional op. This was an hr or so in.

I thought some people valued the top tables more but its never even crossed my mind when I sit down at ftp. imo 95% of fish will randomly click on any table in the middle, why would they try a bit to especially select the one at the top.

agreed, i think it can have value when there's literally 50-100 waiters but even with the dire state of things now, all the waiters for a steak fit on one view of the lobby without scrolling, so no one is blow the "fold" as they say. i doubt the real value of A table names.

re. your hands - what kind of read do you have that leads you to play slowplay a weak draw in hand 1, and then slowplay top pair in hand 2? the two hands seem somewhat opposed... the only reason i can think to checkcall hand 1 is if the dude way overdefends to checkraises and gets spewy. so with that kind of read obv i checkraise a variety of value hands to catch that spew

Good point good point, didn't actually realise this.
Will address 2nd hand first as this was way more standard; he limped 95% pf and 95% bet out flop. So check flop was easy, I'd sometimes c-raise here but he'd normally straight up fold his air. Then he often just bet down with anything so calling down tpnk/bad flush draw on board seemed right, and sort of mixing it with the turn c-raising. Then river he wasn't calling w nothing if I bet out but he was betting w nothing so that was easy. Felt a lot simpler at the time than trying to explain it! But was in the zone like
No. 1 he surprised me with the pf raise so I had to go into 'normal' mode; played it how I'd play that vs anyone excepting the river cap - he went over aggro with mediocre hands a fair bit so I wasn't too worried about the flush.

your default play is checkcall with 75 on a A63 board?
