Does it have to be 10" board wide?

You could get two 6x6 posts and build a Mortise/Tenon joint.



Use a ratchet-strap to hold it together. No actual hardware needed.

If you had to join two 4"x10" pieces of wood together (5ft in length), and have them support 200lbs in the center (directly on the joint), how would you do so?

Final wrinkle. Must be able to disassemble.

So final product is basically a 10ft plank that can be walked across and disassembled into 2 5ft sections.

Can use nuts/bolts/etc but woul prefer simplicity.

Ratcheting is a good idea

I got in $400+ (133 bbs) preflop last time out with AK; second time I've done that this year, 0/2 against 63o and QJo. Trying to recall how often I've actually gotten in $400 preflop, nothing else comes to mind except an AA vs AA situation but I could easily be misremembering.

Yah I think his personality, much like Saban, just isn't cut out for the NFL. You can't be an authoritarian dick with professionals. I have no problem with it for CFB.

I just have a hard time believing that people besides the inner circle knew this was happening and those guys were just wilfully blind out of some ****ed up sense of loyalty to that POS.

Looks like NU is gonna get their man though so hope springs eternal.

SEC job quality IMO:

Tier 1- Bama, Auburn, UGA
Tier 2-LSU, FL, A&M
Tier 3-Miss, MSU, USC, Tenn

Tier 1- Bama, Tenn

Questions about ranges and overbetting…

1/2 Game - main game at local casino
Villain: $285, 30-ish, clean cut guy, just won a pot. No real reads.
Hero: Covers, stack has been bouncing around all night. I’ve been playing too many hands and getting caught a couple times. Have gotten a couple nice river cards as well. Likely perceived as loose and fishy given some of the stuff I’ve had at showdown.

Villain raises to $7. 4 callers. I’m in the small blind and I raise to $27, because I think $7 is a truly wussy raise in live NL (if you raise to $7 in any 1-2 game anywhere in the world, you can’t be a winning player, IMO) and I don’t want to play a pot multi-way with my hand. Villain re-pops to $62. Everyone folds back around to me and I call getting better than 3-1.

Flop ($152 before rake): QQ6 rainbow.

Hero: Jams for $223 effective.

Villain spends the next FOUR minutes in the tank.

Questions:
What range should he be putting me on? I’m curious to see the perceptions of the pen.
Is this a good spot for a 1.5x pot over bet jam? I hear all the cool kids are doing it, but this felt like a perfect spot to just go for it.

Promise I will post the other details once I’ve gotten a few responses.

3bet size is bad

don't think I'd donk a single hand in my range ever here. But having said that you're probably chosen the best board to do it on.

Alabama is definitely alone in tier 1. Not sure why you have Georgia ranked so high. It should be lower based on program prestige and pay. I'd have LSU and Florida at tier 2. A&M should be tier 3 based on prestige but I suppose they are actually Tier 2 based on pay and recruiting base. It looks like Auburn is paying like a tier 2 school but aside from that they are tier 3 at best.

Pretty much this.

Open to 7 may not be as egregious as 3b to 27 with 5 to act.

Your 3b range should be pretty high up on the value range IMO
11-27-2017 , 12:53 PM
agree with the $7 raise size evaluation, i think his range for you is anything that beats KK, and your actual hand is like AQ/KQs thinking he can’t fold AA

He thinks it is possible that a dude with ZERO coaching experience would leave in the middle of an NFL season to take over the dumpster fire

Welp, I can certainly see why you think they see you as fishy. Nice job with the button clicking.

They should just drive a truck of money to Mike Norvelle, but he is probably not interested.
11-27-2017 , 01:08 PM
It's a perfect spot for overbetting if you have a **** ton of bluffs in your range. Considering player pool tendencies, villain's range should be AA-KK at worst, AA at best.

I wouldn't 3bet KQs in that spot, so your range should be AA-AQ. But if you want to be balanced and exploit times villain folds, it should have 8 combos of AK as well.
11-27-2017 , 01:21 PM
He noted that he has no read on villain so expecting him to fold KK+ is optimistic.

There is absolutely no need to be balanced here
11-27-2017 , 01:26 PM
No need for an overbet then. Btw, overbets are mostly done on the river in spots when your bet is bound to be super polarized.

If you have trips here, you have 3 streets ahead of you to get the money in in a more gradual manner. There's no need to put so much pressure on the other player.
11-27-2017 , 01:31 PM
That hand is spewtastic and villain should not be folding ace high.

A $7 open is also totally fine and probably best for most of your range unless stacks are deeper where you'd prefer a larger sizing in general. I realize smaller sizings generally mean weakness amongst the population but that does not mean small sizings are bad in and of themselves or that villain is bad.

None of our range wants to donk flop, and certainly none of it overbets. Donks are generally done on check-back textures like 589hhs in a 3b pot and similarly overbets are done in gray equity spots where equities will change drastically on the next street (like JJ on JT56hhss in a single raised pot) or in polarized river spots where alot of our range is air.

A $7 raise from EP in a 1/2 game is pretty terrible, IMO.
11-27-2017 , 01:48 PM
Nope. Not at all. I mean if everyone were sitting on $1k I'd ask "why not bump it up a bit?", but other than that, 3x is fine/good/probably best for your overall range.

If you want to get a little frisky and 4x your premiums I could get behind that.
11-27-2017 , 01:54 PM
DC is correct. Opening from EP to 3.5bb and having it go 5+ ways is terrible...

...Unless you like seeing flops out of position against multiple players, hoping you hit the flop harder then your opponents.

This poast has well more than the average amount of lols and lulz for the pen, and that's saying something. Holy craptastic! Kudos.

Better than your usual politardos tho, FWIW.
