I don't want to brag, but my 5-year old son is almost as good as I am at basketball.

6-12, I limp after limpers on button with s00ted garbage, I think Q4s. Flop KQx and it checks to me so I bet and get two callers. Turn J and it checks to me and I bet again. First caller calls and second guy who just sat down shoves the remainder of his stack, about 80 lol

It's never too late to learn. When my son was 7, I was throwing pop-ups to myself in the backyard after he went to bed so I could teach him baseball. I didn't even know how to catch a ball.

Those who can play, play. Those who can't, coach.

Anyone need poker coaching? My rates are reasonable.

Ironically, of all the sports I played as a kid, basketball was probably the one I played the most. I tried real hard and was terrible and then when I got to high school I got a little better but everyone got way better so I was even more terrible. Now I haven't played for a long time so I'm worse than ever on an absolute scale.

Softball/baseball was a breeze by comparison, maybe because I had played a fair amount of tennis before I played baseball, so trying to hit a speeding ball with a handheld object was pretty standard. I'd be solidly average on a typical company softball team.

The sport I apparently crush at? Rugby. I took a class in college and was so good that the coach made a rule that a certain girl and I couldn't be on the same team because we were basically unstoppable together. I never played outside of that class so maybe it's just low N but it's probably one of two times in my life that I've felt more like an athlete than a mathlete.

I giggled, mucked, and started thinking about who among the daytime regs I would consider calling down if they pulled this move.

Ah and I just lost to the river 1-outer in a giant pot. So refreshing, it had been a while

Whoa, both Allonzo Trier and coach Sean Miller will be with the Arizona Wildcats in tonight's game against Stanford. This stuff must be driving the Vegas books crazy.

Thinly veiled clickbait is thinly veiled.

They started spreading 2-7 Triple Draw at Canterbury Park. I have been directing the people that I've played with to study Single Draw for strategy as a distraction from getting better. Is this a mean thing to do?

"A rough ten is the nuts, jam it pre draw and pat"
03-05-2018 , 01:25 PM
Actually I told the table that a jack is good to jam three ways in any position if the other players draw 2+.

I look like I'm 22 on a good day, who would listen to me?

Hello, to all the micro guys that still around. I'm older and still kicking even though I only play online for entertainment now.

Question, who in the hell sits down at an Ignition Casino .05/.10 6max table with this kind of bankroll????

Someone trying to show off and overcompensate.

I clicked on the wrong table. My bad.

I actually played for a fairly high level team back in the day.

Of course I'm far from athletic so I often found myself as the suicide mission guy. Because who doesn't like trying to tackle 250 lb South Pacific imports in the open field?

The gaming industry would ironically call them whales. Hopefully he was a fish too.

Actually he was playing pretty decently. But I didn't get to play with him very long because I had to get off because of a previous commitment.

Damnit, Doc. You never leave the table when the whale sits!

But he's always at the table when the fish is there!

Oh snap.

On a related note, how is the micro LHE scene on Bovada? ACR seems to have a .25/.50 game pop up now and then, and sometimes a .50/1 game, with a .02/.04 game that sometimes runs as well.
