Just realized dg4 is you. I m so slow

Deepz - "Ben how likely is it to scoop in run it thrice?"

Ben - "Pretty much impossible"

4 hands later Ben scoops with the river 5 ball lol smh.

Confirmed mayo run it thrice end boss.

Fun times boys and it was great meeting everyone. What a night that was though honestly. At one point we had a bigger rail than the final table while we were playing run it thrice before stars booted us out of the room. Darrel binking that 9 on the river while all of us were gathered around screaming for it and then having him take down the whole thing was so sick. Bzzzzt for sure!

I realized that if a 9 or a 5 is needed and Ben is calling for it, you better believe it's coming.

Cheers guys.

haha, i got all of you locked as worst runitthrice player. and i will continue to play til the end of my days.

Ha ill take u on headsup anytime smb. Definitely not Mayo though.

Every time I see the words run it thrice written down I get a sense of pride that I think only a mother looking at her new born baby can relate to.

Cant wait for the day someone asks what another persons main poker game is, with an acceptable answer being run it thrice/dice.

Can someone explain run it thrice to me?

Best game ever. Don't play solo vs UK crew tho

very simple.

between 2-6 players get dealt 6 cards each. 3 flops are dealt and are weighted in value, 1:2:3 i.e. $5/person for board #1, $10/person for board #2 and $15/person for board #3 - so everyone invests $30/round. each player places 2 cards next to each board (and everyone knows which board is the least/most valuable). deal turn and river cards, see who has best holdem hand for each, calculate results. and if anyone outright scoops all 3 boards, you get a bonus from each player (somewhere around 6 bets/$30 but it depends on how many people are playing/how difficult it is to scoop all 3).

adding beers is also recommended.

haha me and raikkonen invented something so similar to this back in 2012, playing for 50p per board! Incredible game!

^ sounds fun. How does the flop value weighting system work?

as long as it's in the ratio 1:2:3 you can choose your own amounts of money to play for.

so for example, if there are 6 people playing and the boards are worth $5, $10 and $15 per person, the winner of board 1 would scoop $30, the winner of board 2 gets $60 and the winner of board 3, $90. if you lose on every board, you lose $30.

and it's all predetermined, so you would place the 3 boards above/below each other and the top one would be the most valuable, the bottom one the least.

haha, i made €1500 euros including everything! For a live poker trip this is pretty much the jackpot

thanks mate, was nice to meet you too. Hopefully it'll be the first trip of MANY!

hahaha, this was too funny

Once you go thrice you never go back brother

ditto mate. please win the EPT now, i have 100% faith that you can do it after IPT performance. Just wish i had a fkn percentage!

hahahaha, god it's actually true

haha, too much luck. I'll post the pic of my hand in a minute so people can make a bit more sense of the game

This is how you'll make your millions mate

Got some pics and vids of the trip...

From the plane:



One of smb's few moments at a poker table He seems to prefer the rail



The boys at the harbour in portomaso:



Views from the apartment:



Run it thrice (before frank caught backdoor perfect)



Post catching perfect:

Too much boss in 1 pic:



Awesome sunset from the apartment:



The final hand of the HU:



The champ himself along with the rail:



So just to clear up run it thrice. Below is the hand i scooped. Blue worth $5 per person, yellow worth $10 and reg worth $15 with extra bonus if you win all 3.

Backdoored the straight flush 1st, held with AT and then rivered a greasy gutterboy otr



Overall we had an awesome trip, met a lot of cool new people and have definitely got the travelling bug. I even enjoyed live poker! For the whole trip including expenses i made roughly €1500 so not too bad at all.

I've caught a horrible cold since being away so i'm not grinding all that much. I did however play heads up today because it's something im thinking about starting to play more of. Mainly due to having people that i can discuss HU with which is definitely crucial if you wanna be successful, but also with the looming stars changes - i figured that having a hu skill set could come in very useful if i want to keep playing on stars.

Month is looking bean, but hey, i'm feeling very happy with things right now

"quuuuwollity mayt"

was great to meet you buddy, had a quuuuuuwolity time hanging ou with the crew. take care and hopefully see you in melbourne

Excellent summary Ben, sounds like a blast

You too man. haha melbourne is a long shot but ya never know

thanks gaz, real shame you weren't there with us

Forgot to post this pic where we hijacked an empty table while darrell was on the FT and started playing run it thrice. Got a massage too Can see frank making a cheeky cheat look too

gl!

Nice mini TR and pics Ben.

I'm still confused by the flop weighting in RIT. How do you reach a consensus on which board is top value and which one is bottom? Is it based on texture?

Looking forward to wild HU HHs itt

^ Its decided pre deal. So first board is low, second mid, third high.

Then when you get to an advanced level, you can start adding in each player gets to swap boards once per hour, but thats for the sickos

Pity i missed you 😢😢

Awesome, thanks. Def gonna give this game a shot

ty man! hit me up and we can set up skype thrice

It literally looked like a harbour and the casino that was 1 min away was called portomaso casino. Apologies for my stupidity

Next time!

Had a decent day today, played a lot of hu which went well overall. Felt like i made quite a lot of mistakes so there's a LOT of improvement that needs be done. Really enjoying it though.



this is vs a guy who starts tables a lot and i feel is quite a decent player. Do we think that this is a better call than a hand like 88 or 99? I guess it's a pretty big issue that we have SO much Qx here to call down with. General reads on this player are that he doesn't 3b all that much (this could be due to lack of history as this is the first time we've played together) but does have highish aggression.

This was vs a different guy who i've never played hu with. He seems to be a good reg again and starts tables regularly. My question here is about our best bluff combos. I know i don't really have any straights but we need(?) some bluffs and this hand felt like it fell into that category.

I'm aware that a lot of people reading this thread don't play hu, but i'd happily take any feedback from anyone, even if it's just to open up discussion because as a whole i'm not good at hu!
