I c/r the flop 45% of the time which is probably terrible and is something I'm working on - I just can't help myself. Anyway, let me at least try to defend copokahahahahaha (I customarily ignore this guy's stat posts because they are just slightly more intelligent than Kindergarten 'let me tie my shoe and get my name on the wall' level):

There are a lot of hands Q7 beats on an A52 flop that we may not want to give a free card. Some opponents will fold these hands outright to a c/r. If we just c/c flop, c/f turn UI and a guy tends to barrel all 3 streets, we have no chance vs. middling hands. Against the right opponent I think there may be some merit to this so long as we decide not to put anymore bets into this pot after the flop unless we pair up.

Grilling me shall now commence.

Interesting 100k certainly means there is likely a skill component wrong with your game. Even my 50k is indicative of this.

OTR what is your longest breakeven stretch for comparision? I assume youve logged infinite hands

I honestly don't know. I can check right now.

This is not an argument for the above discussion, but I thought it would be funny to reference an old discussion thread in this forum:

"preflop: David B raises and Hoss calls with Qc7s.

Flop Ah 5d 4h: Hoss check-raises and David B calls.

Turn 2c: Hoss bets"

:-)

But pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't start bickering about this. Just read the thread if you find the topic interesting. It has good posts.

like 40k or so? Maybe a bit less?

that sucks, and i assume given ur rep and the fact that u coach that u beat midstakes + for at least 5 bb..

did u think that your skill level decreased during that cooler

haha nice find JarnoV.

Turn & river are still misplayed though !

To be 100% honest, I didn't even notice it.

wow...is this detachment from your results something you've always had ? I'm the exact opposite of this, I could pretty much always tell you how much I'm up for the session/day/month/year.

Yeah. I mean I can sometimes tell when I'm running bad and it's not like I never check results, but I just don't get hung up on whatever good/bad streak I'm on. FWIW I think the fact that I can not think about the good and bad runs too much is one of my biggest strengths as a poker player.

I think the fact that you win all the monies is one of your biggest strengths as a poker player.

Zee German Dax = Lela Dax ?

You should REALLY brush up your poker basics then.

Bugger me, 6 new pages since last night. Can we have a separate thread for anything Cop wants to post and those who are interested enough to argue about, never skipped so much of this before. His play's perfect guys he can't take advice/debate just leave him to crush 3-6 while the rest of us mortals struggle along.

Two things:

1. Yes smart. Skip it.

2. 99 replies per page. Do it!

wowza to all that above!

How would you exploit this?

Nice post. TYVM

Obv., I've never read it. If I would, i doubt very much the same amount of arrogant, condescending, pseudo scientific know-it-all BS would get to be dumped on me. At least it would have been harder to do. Even for creative righting specialist.

@ MurderbyNumbers123

Certanly means? Even 50k IS indicative?

What are the basis for such confidence?
Do we have rules on this I missed?

@wolfram

I could not agree more.

@gjwhunt

struggle along towards 3/6?

Yes skip it. Especially now, when you can go here

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/10...avid-b-274088/

and compare notes on folding Q7 PF or get some reasons from some very respected players on why c/r Q7 on A53 flop might, just might have some merits.

So what about those 2 hand after all.

Hand 1.

from OTR

Ok. I can live with that. At least after this comment, hand 1 is not a reason anymore for my BE stretch.

Hand 2.

I gotta tell you, I sure picked up some ammunition here

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/10...avid-b-274088/.

So it can be a blood bath.

Given the fact how important image is for some people (for all kinds of reasons
), I dont think blood bath is in their best interests.

So, i would suggest this.

Remember "My Cousin Vinny"?
Remember Jim Trotter III?

"In lights of Sheriff's Farley and miss Vito testimonies, state would like to dismiss all charges"

Remember his look when he said that?

A 100k breakeven stretch is very unlikely for a 2 BB/100 winrate.

Less likely than 400BB/100 downer over 20k hands for 3BB/100 WR?

LOL.

Should I bring back unsubstantiated bayesian arguments and use them for my benefits now?

Funny.

I missed that.

Sry for my comment above

Probably not. Keep fighting the good fight though.

I mean it goes without saying hood

ive heard this from like a million different places but if u can get someone to fold top pair with any consistency at all they will absolutely be crushed at LHE

for example... if I KNEW that someone was pitching an ace (and every other pair) there on the river 100% of the time I would be c/ring 100% of aces always no matter what. and it would crush. it costs 2 bb to win 6.

in all reality though a 100k breakeven stretch is FARRRR more likely ( I mean alot alot alot alot) than a 40k breakeven stretch for someone with 5+ BB winrate.

Assuming OTR does beat the game for a world class clip over here.
