Yes.
Overhead gorilla light coming eventually.

Ty and the service lines will b done in a couple days.
Still on a mission to make it look more and more spectacular.
Ty guys.

+1 to great looking yard. Your kids are very fortunate.

Every time it’s looking doom and gloom on the $40k challenge we hit a decent score.
+$892 on a gd action table.
Plenty of button straddles, and I followed suit.
Side note: I usually straddle when I see 4 or 5 straddling. It’s advantageous to do everything possible to play higher when ur the best at the table. Def want to do my part to keep the straddles going.



Sitting at $9802 in 1/3 $40k. If can close May and June strong; then don’t count us out.
I’ll take $16k by end of June and wd feel gd about it.

Got lucky in the big hand of the day

Hero $450 w JJ from utg
$6 straddle from button, and I make it $40 after 1 caller. Thought bout $25 or $30 but action table so sized up. Tilt Morocco guy ($350) on my left (stuck $500) calls. Another guy ($400) who is also heading towards Tilt road from middle position calls. Wd anyone else like to cold call? ???

4 to the flop. Pot $160
10d7d8s

I lead $45 w overpair gut shot.
Tilt Morocco guy calls, and his road buddy decides to ship his stack of $350.
This steaming guy #2 is at least a ‘thinking player’. Therefore, I feel the raise wd b smaller if he is super strong. It’s draw heavy flop, and I’m blocking straights. Also I hold the Jd w a gut shot. I’m basically putting this guy’s top range of pair+draw, and bottom something like a A9suited. F his draw, I call.
Tilt Moroccan Guy #1 snaps and rolls over what I’m blocking lol. The straight.

Pot is $1200
Turn is Jh

River 777777777777777777777
blow out the fn candles!!!


After the hand never saw tilt #2 holdings, but he was a little down after both calls of his all-in. Which made me think a 9X or diamonds.


Behind the $40k pace but we have a pulse. We ain’t dead

Well, that settles it. You're definitely the best there ever was! Very well played.

"It's better to be lucky than good"

Hard to deny that he could very possibly be the 3rd greatest to ever grace the felt

i wasn't insinuating that the game is tough by any means. it clearly isn't since Rayz is seemingly beating it (real talk). my point was that if he studied a few hours per week he would up his hourly significantly, allowing him to raise the stakes, and subsequently live half-retired like he dreams about all day. he claims to study, but he definitely doesn't do much more studying than confirming stuff by independently thinking about it. #toogoodtostudy #hugeFRAGILEego #nodiscipline

Rayz is the greatest poker player of all time and a fairly large fish at the same time. the duality of man is fascinating!

really sick backyard though, that i cannot deny! obviously not a wise decision or investment with your life/bankroll (they're one and the same, like a true poker pro that's basically retired) though.

I straddle $6. Mp ($225)) recreation player with high vpip/little knowledge raises to $10.
$10 is legal here off a $6 straddle.
Another high vpip’r calls.

Pot $25
Flop 1074r
Mp 2x pot $50 w $175 behind.
Other guy folds.
Back on me w 108o
I cover. What’s the play?

You have top pair and a monster kicker facing a huge overbet.

Why do you think MP has little knowledge? Do you think he would do this with draws and air?

DidnÂ’t mean he has little knowledge.
I meant I hv little knowledge of him.
My bad

So @masq what is ur play here ?

Fold pre-flop. Fold flop.

I'm a nit.

I'm gonna have to call your bluff here. You can't answer Masq's questions so you're revising your statement. It's the same reason you've chosen to ignore a lot of other followup questions when asked about hand details. You are clicking buttons but trying to sound knowledgeable. Pay more attention at the tables and do some studying. Why don't you want to improve your game?

#fullofshit

You wouldn't call $4 into $30 to see a flop with T8o? I am super nitty but that seems like a leak.

Hero made a mistake saying the flop pot size was $25 - after his call it is $31-$34 (3 callers of $10 + $1 & $3; depends if 2nd guy was in a blind).

@mastaAces u are a piece of work.
I hv little knowledge of the player. Not that he has little knowledge. But, believe what u want.

I wdnt even respond to correct @masq if I meant the opposite. What’s the big deal?

U care to chime in on what u wd do facing 2x pot bet w top pair?

Dead sb $0 + bb $3 + 3 callers of $10 -$2 promo drop - 10% rake $3.
Pot = $28

triple blind games are awesome but you need to realize when everyone is short, as it appears everyone basically is here, it starts to play more like tourney poker. high cards matter more. TPNK might be good in this specific instance, but over the long run it's going to be a losing proposition.

you beat 99- (less 77/44), T6- (less T4), 7x (less 74), 4x, and draws.

how likely is it that V is 2x'ing pot with any of those hands into several players?

it's almost definetly a fold.


honestly, this is almost like the worst flop possible for you. you flop TP but the 2 other flop cards are less than your kicker so it takes away 2 TP hands that you could be beating (T7/T4) and since it's rainbow the only draws are 98 or 65. like the only turn cards that you would want to see is like a T or a 2. even an 8 brings in 65 and you're basically guessing on every street and you're OOP.

a big improvement in my game came when i started protecting my stack when i was OOP. things like realizing how difficult it will be to get to showdown when you're on the flop unless the miracle best runnout happens can save massive amounts of BBs.

The bet, his high vpip, and bit splashy got me thinking. Seemed odd.

Gd advice @johnnyspot.

Maaaaybe. But it's a junk hand and we're OOP.

It might be an extra $4 to call, but we really need that dream flop to hit. Even if we hit trips there's a possibility we're outkicked and that $4 we paid could cost a stack.

I don't think it's terrible to call the $4. But I do think it opens us up to losing a bunch of money later in the hand.

We otb @masq.
And ur correct bout losing bunch money later in the hand.

I ship it thinking my tp is good.
Raising to me seems slightly better than calling. But folding wd hv been the play lol.
108 < QQ.

ignoring it's an easy fold, having the 8 is terrible here according to solver world. on the surface it's very counter intuitive but you'd be better to have T3 than T8 according to the solves because you hold a key blocker to the draw you actually want him to have.

@kevin1983 easy fold to most opponents, but this guy just seemed off.
On the contrary, he leveled me to look foolish.

Solver is cool. I use them, but we use a lot of feel too. Live reads hv been off lately.

Wanna hear another hh?
4 hours later today we climbed back to even and sitting w $750.
AA in sb…

it's a turbo muck (barring very specific reads - which you admittedly do not have).

yeah in games where villains are so far off eq playing solver style isn't going to be most profitable. just pointing out and trying to get you to think a little. you block a significant portion of his bluffing range with the 8. feel be damned that is terribad
