God this game is tough because of the rebuy cap, and these guys are opening at 8bb.

60bb max BI, how can I play anything post flop.

Maybe I should change table...

I have f-ing plastic knives in this gun battle.

Agreed.

Because he can do that with worse nines? Fwiw my turn line would be bet small ott and bet large otr and make it a non decision

You should be ectastic because you can 3bai super profitsbly given stacks

No.

I mean, there isn't fold equity. So I can only 3-bet for value.

Killing time sharpening one of my carving chisels. This thing must have been seriously ****ed up, because it is taking forever

Damn. 3 hours to restore the edge to that chisel, but worth the effort. It has a mirror polish and is shaving the hair off my arm pretty as you please.

Happiness is a sharp blade.

Dude, have you been doing that all night?

Mpethy do you still keep in touch with army buddies?

Dhcg, you at a table?

<shrug> 3 hours, give or take, with a couple breaks to post.

My wife bought me some nice blocks of maple and mahogany for Christmas (gotta love a wife that'll go to the lumberyard for your Christmas present) and I'm pretty psyched to start in on my next carving.

As it turns out, the blade was a complete wreck. I started out thinking it just needed touching up, so I started with the finest grit. When that took to long, I moved down one, then two more. So I wasted a good part of the time.

NBD, though, cuz I like sharpening my tools as much as I like carving with them. Not a big fan of wasting time, and if I had started at the correct grit, I would have been able to get two or three done.

I sort of don't have any army buddies. I was in a weird spot--I was a platoon sergeant as a promotable sergeant, so I didn't have any peers. I had folks working for me, and they're not buddies, and I was too junior to hang out with the real (E-7) platoon sergeants. About the only person I'm still in contact with from the Army was my platoon leader.

I'm Facebook friends with my first sergeant, too. Guy was a huge influence in my life, and when I sent him a friend request on Facebook he said "I don't remember you at all."

just about to leave for minneapolis. I hope everybody has a great new years!

can't wait for 2013

nah im not at a table. only played for five or so hrs last night

sry to hear that mpethy. Infantry guys have really strong bonds. One of my best buddies from korea met up with me last night and and it is great to see him

I even still keep in touch with three or so guys from basix

I met up with a bunch of people over the summer and it felt so amazing. I saw my old team leader and my old squadleader plus a buddy from basic

korea? how ****ing old are you? 80?

So is god mode still considered to be on when you run like complete garbage for five hours but still only lose 1.75 buy ins?
Lol I was in bb with T2 flop is 223 I lead one caller turn is T I bet river is 5 I little over 1.5psb shove and guy calls with 33

Not the Korean War, BD, DMZ, exercise o-rama, etc, but shooting rare.

Dude Garlick, AF is blowing it.

Sadly, I thought the same thing.

I would have 3-bet the flop, villain would have gotten all-in with AA, and hit the river.

snowing here. wonder how the games will be?

wat?

If they are 3betting with a wide range, then your value range can therefore become wider (depending on how the react to the 3! obv)

If they are folding often to a 3bet, then you get a lot more dead money then over a 3-5x raise

And if they are only 8x with a really narrow range then you get to find out when someone has QQ+ really easily.

Not sure why its that bad a thing.

Ya...right. Why would I get into a 3-bet war against a guy that has $4k while the BI cap is at $300.

Makes no sense for me to do anything light once my stack is at $600.

Start shoving over those 40$ raises and he will stop.

No he won't. It's like tourney and he's sitting on better than 10:1 advantage.

Plus why would I want him to tighten up.

I was just pointing out that there's little room for me to do much.

Thanks for reminding me to put game on. AF ahead now.

Had a dream hand 2 nights ago:

Villain (SB) $220 Is a foreign local rec-fish that has a lot of money, I think he owns a resturant or something. He plays his FD suuuuper aggressively, for example on a 822 2 spade flop he c/overshoved $110 in a limped pot with J9ss.

1 Limp, Hero (covers) is UTG+1 and raises to $13 with KK Villain calls.

(Pot:$29)

Flop comes K65

Villain donks $50

Raise or call? I have a heart and the deck crushed. I figured I'd call since the money is going in regardless if he has a set and I want to allow him to hang himself with draws.

(Pot $129) Turn is the 7
Villain donks $90, I shove, he calls with J2

River is 5 I scoop
