Jesus, I thought someone was trolling when they posted about this earlier.

OK, so glanza just sent me this. Basically an opposing email to the one they sent me. wtf is going on here?

Real endbosses like myself have 3 dif currency accounts for reasons like this

It's basically just to prevent people using stars for vig free currency speculation I guess over the next few days, swings could be huge.

7 cent swing in the last few minutes alone

Biggest ever intraday drop for major currency. GG UK.

very smart, wish i had done that

yeah, well they don't need to worry about it now - everyone terrified to xfer to one another

haha thats a good result imo

After waking up today to the news of Britain leaving the EU i've felt really grim. Pretty devastating news but something we all have to deal with now it's happened. I just hope to god that this decision doesn't result in harsher discrimination from the public onto minorities, even though i'm fearing the worst.

I played some live last night which was a laugh, made about £300 even after winning a £2k pot at 300nl. Smb binked the £100 timbey for £2k lmao

The hand i played was total juice. i open UTG to £10 with 88 (£1050 stack), call from reg, call from fish in the sb (£37 stack) and call from bb (covers), flop comes 48T, lead all in for £27, guy calls pretty quick, i ask for his stack and he says 'about 1k', i look over and can't see his stack of hundreds and say, 'are you sure?', to which he replies 'of course i'm sure' angrily. I make it £105, fold, he thinks for a couple seconds and makes it £325, I tank for a minute or so and decide to call. Turn is the 9 and he snap jams, i snap call, river peels off the Q and he declares 'a pair of nines', simultaneously the sb shouts 'flush!' and shows 67hh. The dude must've had A9ss or 79ss, or perhaps a total airball given his apparent flop frustration.

Had a very uneventful day at the tables. Enjoying the lower variance at the moment. Am mixing 400nl again too which i'm glad about.



Reg with interesting line:



The dream vs reg and whale. The leader is the reg:



Finished first week of pull/push/legs and i'm loving it so far.

back to it tomorrow

Really finding my groove at 200/400nl. Running a ton better which leads to my A+ game at all times. I actually have no motivation to move back to 400-1k at this current time so will stick to what i'm doing for a bit longer. This relaxed process will probably be short lived though! Just came to the end of a staking deal which went very very well for me resulting in about $11k profit. With that + bonuses i've actually made money during this downswing. Not all bad eh!



Constantly bad beat by this whale the past month or so:



Soul destroying fish:



Gunna go play live again tonight. Dunno why i'm enjoying it so much atm Likely due to more of my poker player friends transitioning to live so i'm not ever going to the casino alone!

gl

Dont worry your heater wont last too long. Very easy to play w other peoples (smb) money

yeah if you would just move back to 600-1k that would be nice

Im someone who predominately plays live, can you go into your thoughts on balance and sizing differences between live/online.

For example most of my experience and education is playing very tight, face up, bloating pots with high equity starting hands. This has produced a WR im satisfied with (and one from my experience that is near the top), but I am always questioning whether I could study present day poker knowledge and apply more balance to my game in spots that would be beneficial.

When I follow your thread and others, I follow your hand histories quite well as they make sense to me. But most of the time I'm also thinking "yea Id just bet pot here, never bluffing, and get called in 3 spots by worse"

High level question, if you are opening AKo UTG, vs mostly non-thinking players ranging 80bb-120bb deep, who station, but don't 3bet <AK...ever, and they are calling inelastic up to 5x, do you open 3x, 4x, or 5x. This is something I've thought about for the past 3 years and feel like I could have hours of conversation over.

Bangbang

haha, at least i know when my money dries up, i got an smb 10nl stake waiting for me

lmao, either he plays 400-1k and is giving me sick rubs, or he's a 200nl reg and is being nice. Either way, thank you

hey man, it sounds like you've got a good grasp on how to adjust to the dynamics of live/weak tables. Online and live are so different in that respect cus even the 'good' live regs are still going to be playing pretty poorly and not adjusting correctly. I think the only thing you need to consider is; will my opponents be able to exploit me if i'm raising bigger with better hands and raising smaller with more marginal hands, if i'm betting pot with value hands etc etc. For the most part i'd just steer clear of playing exploitably vs good players, however vs weaker players just always take the highest ev line. Another point to mention is even if there is a reg at the table and a few decent fish, even if you are adjusting opening sizes depending on hand strength and he knows that, i don't expect the average live reg to know how to adjust accordingly. I may not be giving live players enough credit, but since playing a few times recently i think the point is pretty valid

Thanks for the insight. Following my toy game though, can you list the pros/cons or different sizings at a passive, non 3bet, stationy game? (Excluding sizing tells)

Basically, in a live 2/5 game, 9 handed, if you knew that a 3x-5x bet was getting called by 4 players with a 30-35% VPIP, all 100bbs, what sizing would you choose UTG with 77, AKo, and AA?

Sorry if this seems trivial but I think there are multiple perspectives to this game type.

if you know you're going multi way and no one is really 3betting then i'd open all pairs for small (3x) down to 66 prob, limp the rest. Then with AJs, AJo + (all non pair good broadways, i'd be opening for 4-5x. Can mix some limps with hands like QTo KTo etc. I'm definitely not the best person to ask about this as i have pretty limited live experience but those are my general thoughts.

Ran totally awful today but didn't lose too much. Started splashing around a bit so i quit before i got back in the hole.



vs super nit reg. prob shouldnt post this one but who cares



Ambitious call from reg



Got less of a full day tomorrow so will be able to grind an evening session. Only got tomorrow and wednesday to play as i'm heading off to france for the euros early thursday.

Cba to go into any depth about the england game. obviously very disappointed with another below par performance and the most embarrassing loss for us.

gl

Thanks for the tips

Any preference for next England manager? I dont see any obvious choices on the shortlist and I seriously doubt that Gareth Southgate is any kind of managerial genius.

No manager. Disband English team imo.

I think England will have to go with a foreign manager again. There's no decent English candidates out there imo and the fact Southgate is favourite says it all.

Louis van Gaal it is.

roberto martinez would be decent knows prem well and you will know what type of style he wants to play.

Lol Roberto Martinez.

NO Candidates at all

haha i don't know enough about managers to offer any contribution here! All i know is that roy is rotten :s
