Do you only go there when children aren't present or is that tree more than 500' from the playground?

Went to the caseeeno last night and seent the most mystical creature in all the land. VPIP 100% limp on an avg stack of $50 man. Dude somehow did this for however long before I got there, and 2 hours or so after. Every time he’d get to about $20-$30 he’d double up. He did this in a 2-2 with $4min bring in w/ optional kill game. It was the most amazing thing I have ever witnessed at a poker table.

$400 effective
Hero is UTG w/ 56hh raise to $15
V UTG+ 1 calls - grump old asian guy playing tight. Super mad miserable casino reg
BB calls buddy of mine who plays reckless and is a few tequilas deep

Flop 7h 5d 4s

BB checks
Hero $25 or $30. Can’t really remember. Don’t care.
Both of dem call

Turn Jh
BB checks
Hero $110
Both of dem fold


I wasn’t sure if this was a SABR move or not, because in the moment it felt like it was.. I was even thinking about buying a sports car afterwards…. Like a ‘83 Transam or something.

Figured I’d post and get everyones opinion. Am I pretty much the SABR of low stakes?

I had a '78. Seemed like it had a ball joint fail every year or so. Not sure if that was a me thing or standard. Doors wouldn't shut worth a **** either due to weight. Keep winning, get a Tesla.

It’s the stupidest thing ever. All it does is confuse everyone. 2-2, $4 bring in. Anyone can put the kill button on which is basically a $4 straddle and the bring in becomes $8.

Just make it 1/3 ffs.

Let me first pay off this new Tundra I just bought, and then I’ll buy the T…. trans am.

I once had a 67 Camaro. It was pretty sweet when the block cracked.

Just listened to a Bart Hanson podcast and he described a hand almost exactly like this. Well played.

Pulled off easily the dumbest bluff of my career on Friday night:

$320 effective. Overlimp in CO in a $4 straddle pot with 43cc. 2 calls. Straddle raises to 25. Two folds. I re-raise to 75. He calls. Flop A85r with a club. He checks. I bet 30. He raises to 105. I reraise to 205 and he folds.

I never believed the joyride theory because they went into a parking lot with 100 cars cooler than the Hyundai and picked out mine.

Next post will be on why I hate all insurance adjusters and car salesmen.

My insurance co mostly paid for three days of car rental. Enterprise said they only had a red Dodge Challenger. Weirdest fit ever. It is odd because every car thinks I am trying to pass him, and then 30 seconds later they just pass me.

I mean, joyriders steal the cars that are easiest to steal, not the coolest ones. Unfortunately, so do some low-level pros.

I am no sabr but I personally would advise screwing down your preflop game while working on your post flop skills which are severely lacking (no offense this is outta love mang). Once you can navigate post flop then you can work on opening up your game. I guarantee you that playing that stuff up front is costing you dearly with your current poker postflop skillset.

I agree with folding pre if you're not sure how to navigate these flops.

I think he meant it’s either a raise or fold, which is correct, but maybe you are talking bout something else. I don’t know. Like that flop bet… don’t remember, don’t care.
