That drink was more rejuvenating than coffee for sure. I'd forgotten about it but I'll have to see if any of the new cocktail bars in Tucson know it. And we can have a round or two when you come to CAZ.

Drink.

Pretty sure I get paid back if I lose close enough to 100% to just call it that.

Pumped now. THx!

I had no info on his loan history. And it was like 5am and no1 I knew was around to ask. Also I almost never ask someone I'm playing hu what they do for a living. Lastly, I try not to go down the "should this guy be losing this money" road.

So I gave him 3 more (instead of 2) and told him I can't go any deeper and I need it back ASAP.



The higher you play, the more this **** becomes part of the game. I think my biggest error was borrowing the 5k from the kid I don't know too well at the table. I should have been more discreet with that.

Yeah, he seemed like a respectable gambler. Maybe I caught him right before things got desperate. And maybe I'll get it back with persistence. I've def been on the "right" side of loaning a ton of times. And hu seems like the best time to do it, no?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Much better places/ways to invest your money short-term... And long-term it's gotta be a net negative considering you won't always have pieces of the people who actually win, and they will eventually be sitting at your table remembering your thought process, killing your profitability in more ways than one.

[QUOTE=jrr63;44271989] Yeah, I think I'm going to try to play 25-50 2-7 single while I'm out there (seems like a good adjustment to the 500 cap). I'm sure Death Donkey will give me action cuz he's solved all those weird games I'm sure. Def gonna make him drink tho. Hope you can join us.

I vaguely remember Carnivale and will put it on my list even though I don't smoke weed. Forgot to mention, despite having a really hard time with Matt McConaghy as an actor my whole life, I watched True Detective season 1 and thought it was worth it.

5. If someone overbets the river with a polarized range a perfectly balanced percent of the time, how can we exploit them?

I like this question...

I think the answer lies in the size of the overbet. If they are overbetting 100+x% of the pot every time (where X is ALWAYS the same number) and they have a balanced range based on the hand combos that they can have, we can exploit them by always calling or always folding (based on the size of X). If X is variable based on the amount of value combos and bluff combos, and they are varying X to be exactly balanced, then there is no way to exploit them and calling=folding.

Or something like that.

[QUOTE=DGAF;44273534] I'd give 2-7 SD a try - not so sure about the badacey/badeucy variations (never played them) but I suppose I could try to learn from you guys

I'll definitely make it up there for a least a day trip - which days do you think you'll be at CAZ?

[QUOTE=jrr63;44276082] I get there Thurs night and leave Wed after I ship the Arizona State Championship...

Not gonna play any super weird games. I think 10-10 with 5 ante 2-7 spread limit makes the most sense with the 500 max bet rule. That gives us NL spazzes a fighting chance against the mixed game wizards (we can out courage them!).

Also gonna play plenty of 5-10 SL unless I just can't take it.

***Is the pit 500 max too?

[QUOTE=DGAF;44277227] I've never played any pit games there - no idea. But I know at least one or two of the regs on the CAZ forum have some experience.

i got a good hand to post.

5-10 at commerce last night

i raise 30 w/ kqcc guy who looks like young man's dad makes it 85 on btn folds to me i call. i have 2500 he somehow has 4k.

Philosophical discussion on what legalization of online poker in the US would do to live high stakes (5/10+)?

I know for many it seems like a silly question bc "lol that's what everyone wants" but I've gotten quite used to my Friday/Saturday evenings of not having to think and making 10bb/hr in a game with zero solid players. One or two ok players.

Not a brag at all. I'm sure I would get raped online. I began my poker career post BF and my entire game can be summed up with "bet/fold". Hence my question.

Loaning money is generally a losing proposition unless you really know the person or have someone to collect for you as doing it yourself isn't worth it. I would have never loaned the guy any money in your spot without voucher/collateral or at the very least driver license info.

Live poker will always be soft. I don't think online is going to affect it much. That's also a ways away from happening, unless you live in California maybe.

Yea I surely think live will always be soft(ish), my main concern is how depleted the live pool might get.

Unlike most I do not cling to fanciful dreams of a new moneymaker effect. I think that was a one time collective mob / popularity boom. Like silly bands.

So if my pool is literally 15-20 players, what happens when they can dump thousands online in a matter of minutes. They get slaughtered in a day by internet wizards compared to sheered by me for many years.

I think you're overestimating how many recreational fish will play online

Well that's my exact question. I actually don't think any out of my pool would. They all play for the fun / social aspect of the game. Still, something I'm curious about.

What was live poker like during the boom? My understanding is that it boomed as well? But there were less rooms / States that allowed it or had lol betting caps.

at the very least, there will be some increased interest because there will be new poker content on television most likely.

I think a lot of recreational players watched poker on tv and it had the "hey that looks like fun I want to try that" effect.

People forget how much BF hurt in that respect because we lost all the ad money for television shows

Do you have any interest in playing heads up 2-7 nl online for small money. I'm looking for action because I think the game is really fun and interesting. If you or anybody else I know wants to play hit me up and I can set it up on pokerstars homegames.

It will be a positive imo. The kids more suited to online will stop playing live (no more light 3bets!) and the live fish won't even know it's legal/it doesn't matter cuz they really just want to get the F out of their houses and flaunt some of their wealth, shuffle some real chips, drink some real alcohol, maybe see some real cleavage here and there...

imo.

I'd love to donate to you. Not sure how feasible me playing online is tho (would prob have to be graveyard). I'll pm if I can figure it out.

I might be playing live hu or short or possibly fr 2-7 5-10, 5 ante, 500 max bet (so "spread limit") in the next few days. Any ideas on where I could get a quick crash course on the game?
