How long have you been playing live poker. You should have found that out a long time ago. You should know right from the start who would bluff. Then the other half shows their incredible bluffs. Break down the line in your head everytime and you should be able to recognize most spots.

leveled myself into calling too much

likely from playing HU where calling with Qhigh is std.


basically, I need to stop calling so much

edit:calling with Qhigh is spot dependent ldo

lol did you start it?

general rule of thumb: fold to aggression unless you beat a lot of value hands

Good live read: be aware of sample sizes. I had some guy who played like half the hands of the first two orbits when I sat in a game and I was ready to stack off super light but it turns out he was just on a heater and was the biggest nit at the table.

kinda. I started talking to some girls, then the guys there were with started talking ****, etc etc

long story short about 2min later as I was walking down the strip my face was pounded a substantial amount

I was also fairly drunk/high and am attributing that to why I didnt feel more pain.

fyi, Ive had a non stop headache for almost a week, a black eye, spots floating around in my eye (dead cells) and Ive been sleeping like 15hrs a day.

Yes it was worth it. Next time I'll have better boxing skills, wont be drunk, and I wont turn my back on anyone aggressive

life read: go see a doctor

How many alcohol fights vs weed fights do you think happen?

Yeah not going to a doctor is just ******ed.

As is fighting in 99% of those situations.

Can anything be done now though? Drug him up and a doctor bill?

I don't like fighting. Its pointless. I carry a gun and generally it deters all the haters. People are soooooo much nicer when they notice it.

My buddy got pocket Kings 18 times yesterday (wtf?) and lost with 17 of them (triple wtf?)

The biggest reason to go is to make sure there isn't something seriously wrong.... and there's things they can do if that's true.

Yeah that is why I just don't talk to women who are with a group of guys when booze is involved. Nothing good can come of it.

Just lol'd

Not according to Zimmermans dad in an interview. Apparently the sight of gun made Martin even more enraged.

carrying a gun makes people more likely to get into confrontations and shoot people, probably the most -EV thing to do.

We're not talking poker today. Please talk fighting or get out.

But just cause I'm feeling nice... He should of folded pre. Sometimes its just not your day with pocket kings.

Zimmerman is an idiot. He egged that one on guaranteed. Problem is will the prosecution be able to prove it.

Really. Is there a study on that? Link please. Like saying carrying a spoon makes people want to eat more ice cream and thats why people are fat.

I have yet come across anyone sane that would challenge a guy holding a gun without carrying one himself, except maybe Chuck Norris.

More people would respect you carrying a gun in a holster. The only problem with it: is that the guys who will **** with you will be strapped and ready to kill, you could easily be targeted if someone wanted to rob you for your pistol. I would rather carry a concealed weapon.

You call my name?

Carrying a gun reduces the chances of confrontation. Not everyone that totes WANTS to get in a shoot out.

I'm all for owning guns but carrying a gun might be bad for you and dangerous to people around you.

Then there is stuff like this.

cross post from china thread:

I was down in Zhuhai two weeks ago, and was at a bar with 4 other foreigners and two of my Chinese friends, when a random Chinese guy walked up and started animatedly talking to one of my Chinese friends. The random guy then left, but hung around very close to our table, only separated by a railing. He was awkwardly staring at one of my foreign friends, who then poured a glass for the random guy.

The random guy knocked the glass out of his hand and starting flipping him off and yelling. When he started to reach forward, I shoved him back to protect my friend then he started yelling at me and pointing at the English on his shirt. I was quite frightened as the shirt said "lifeguard" but eventually security came to drag his ass out. Afterwards my Chinese friend explained that the random guy was angry that Chinese and foreigners were hanging out and Chinese should kill all foreigners in the country.
