To clarify further, the players in position can complete the bet because they haven't acted yet - she can't. It would have to be at least half a bet for her to raise.

FWIW at Winstar you're not allowed to participate in a hand unless you have a full big blind in front of you at the start of it.

PEA

(please expand acronym)

That is generally the rule everywhere, but this happened on the turn.

OFC is open face Chinese poker

One more quick thing for TDK and I'll stop hogging the thread:

I enjoy reading your blogs, please keep them coming. "Not planning to post $4/$8 hands but I feel like this one is worth sharing. I open AQ and get cold-called in four spots. Flop is AKJ, I bet and everyone folds." <===I almost laughed out loud!

I don't know how you can type so well on your phone. I frickin' hate typing on a phone, I don't even like BROWSING on it. I wait until I get back to my laptop to type on a proper keyboard.

Open Faces Chinese poker

Well it's certainly not because I'm good at multitasking.

I guess I've gotten used to it. I revise when I get home or the next day and I always spot a decent amount of typos. Also, the Wordpress app gets laggier the longer I have it open. So updating at 2 AM tends to be really buggy and annoying.

My phone story:

The guy to my right was playing Angry Birds and I noted a huge tell. If he was dealt a good hand (one he intended to play no matter what), he would put down his phone, even if he was in the middle of a round. If he was dealt a mediocre hand (one he might play for 1 bet but fold for 2), he would finish that round but not start another round. If he was dealt a ****ty hand he would just keep playing.

So he looks at his cards and starts a new round, and basically telegraphs a fold. But it's folded to him in the CO and he looks up, sees nobody in the pot, looks left, sees he's the CO, and then raises. I snap 3-bet.

Fortunately, my read was spot on - at showdown, I fastroll, and then he rolls 84o.

Unfortunately, he showed his 84o because the hand I 3-bet him with was dominated by 84o.

I've never seen someone so pissed off after WINNING a pot. He couldn't even stack the pot, as soon as the dealer pushed thr pot in his direction, he slammed his hand on the table and then stormed off.

Wait... why was he mad?

Teddy kgb threw his cookies when the same thing happened to him.

I remember when 6max regs saw a guy playing 35/25 and everyone wanted in the pot to get a piece of the maniac.

Now? you're a nit if you don't open 76s in the HJ.

24/17 for life IMO

The DERB is king.

Lemme grasp dat real quick.

Nah that's cool, if no one knows what you're doing and you're not blabbing about it then do your thing.

Sincerely,

A terrible player

The blabbing part is where I went wrong

I mean you're halfway there.

Probably.

Many people are buried in their devices, may slow down game may adversly and affect macro game health / environment. But some of them are also missing info (because of their distraction) and they may also be adversely affecting their wr., and not just their environment. You were one of them.

If your new data gathering 'distraction' helps your game, gives you data on which to reflect which you would not get by playing ofc, your macro effect on the game is the same, but your effect on yourself/wr is improvement.

Others get the improvement with meta game interaction focus. You have your method.

You may be underestimating whether others know, or care, and that can drag down the environment more than ofc, but that is somthing you can work on. Whether it is being friendlier, data mining less, e.g. track only people that give you issues.

But yeah your main problem could be blabbing about it.

I thought this burn (intended or not) was funny

Yup. Many little pictures are still smaller than the big picture. Hard for me to know which is which sometimes.

blood in, blood out

U of A and Sean Miller

I'm at 31.7/18 after 2400 hands.

You just really want me to insult you, yes?

Isn't that our thing? My small sample size is heavily influenced by having position on people that are playing 60+% of their hands. I think if you aren't opening up your starting range in those spots you are leaving money on the table.

Seems like you are calling a lot.

Calling ev is the gravy of poker profits, it's easy to spill if you put too much on your plate.
