if a team with smb and bena is not getting out its prolly 13/10

We're adopting a child, didn't ya know? innit steve

how diplomatic of you

yo man, this is only my second, and i probably wouldn't recommend it, even though it was fun. It was the creators first ever escape room and therefore it lacked some of the bits compared to the first one i did.

ha i'm no expert, but i'd say this was an 8/10? You an escape room reg?!

lmao, a sarcastic compliment is a still a compliment, ty lad <3

The weather has been totally unreal the past 3 days so naturally i've spent the whole time outside playing sports and eating picnics with mates.



Yesterday we entered a 5 aside tournament for an esports team. Can't even remember the name but the two most valuable ringers in london (me and smb) helped bring home gold.



smb naturally got player of the tournament!

Onto poker today and i played my longest session in probably a couple years. Got totally decimated in most hands, and while i still lost 4500, i was down 10k. Every cloud.



vs first hand mate shower



coffee money from innerpsy lmao



can never be too careful vs rec



Gotta head out so i can't post any more hands.

Lost about 20k the past 3 sessions but playing strong!

You need some sick reads to minibet otr like that vs innerpsy, right? Guess you were calling a jam if he went crazy there, right? Because you didnt expect him to have you beat ever?

Think it's that we hardly ever have the worst hand but also it's nice to get to see villain's hand in this spot and get that information AND a coffee outta it.

I dont like this play unless youre against someone whom you have basically no respect vs his game, when IP its good to avoid super thin valuebets like that, since you open yourself to get x/r. Specially when its quite obvious you have a weak sdv hand going for super thin value. If innerpsy starts checking some TP type of hands there and just starts 2x potting its such an annoying spot to be. Also he can play most of his range as a check, knowing the value of checking will be way higher than betting

Pretty sure Bena is always calling a c/r with his hand as played vs innerpsy (although correct me if im wrong).

Also would say c/r turn/ check river here is heavily balanced towards giveups tbh

Fyp but yeah

Lmao at coffee money Ben, wpwp

How is this even a discussion given villains line

He could easily have 22,77,55 AT checking turn at some frequency, after bena calls, he doesnt even should consider the option of betting if bena takes this line a lot.

Tbh these kind of plays by bena are huge for the winrate, but gotta have so much balls to minbet the river with the option of checking back

Nah tbh the chances of v actually taking this line with a xr are so low that freerolling a coffee is definitely higher EV imo.

I guess the EV depends on how addicted to coffee you are

Oh damn, think I'm gonna have to try it. Where was it?
Not a reg, but am an enthusiast. Found the few that I've tried way too easy though so looking for something tougher!

If OP is playing stimulants optimally, answer should be very.

I think c/r will be unbalanced in this spot from vilain.
Is that even a hand he should be c.r ?
Coffee moneyz yay!

Note to self - check river to induce the coffee bet in future

Noted

Next time try betting 2bb so you can win more coffee

Why stop at 2? Why not 3 coffees?

What was this thread called before you changed it OP? I remember the change just not the original name.

Benabadbeat socks his m8s off 2016 and beyond I believe

how much is the bacon and egg + coffee deal where you leave, seems +EV

meale and bbissick pretty much summed it up. Even at 500z, where players seemingly play more balanced, this specific line is close to never a better hand than what i have. I understand what you're saying rapidesh, and if we lived in a world where the human brain (although linus probably does regulate this) could regulate their frequencies then this minbet would be burning money, however, we live in a nut oriented world, where for the most part, check = weak, bet = good.

also to be honest, this

haha ty mate

thiiiiis

very!

it was called The Dentist i think, It was in Tottenham Court Road. Let us know how you get on! in b4 crushing



Agreed. No it's not a hand that ever wants to x/r turn. Unless he thinks i'm playing a poor cbet strategy and assumes i'm playing a hand like Q4s as a flop check

haha, come at me broooo

let's not get greedy now eh

the first two were super original titles haha

2014-2015 BenaBadBeat's FR Grind 2014
2015-2016 BenaBadBeat's FR/6max Grind 2015
2016-2017 From Professional to Recreational
and obv the title now

lmfao, will be sure to make this the next title <3

haha, probably like £5. Gotta start upping those river bets!

Not really sure why i haven't updated in nearly a week. Probably cus i lost bout 20k over the past few sessions, but also cus i've been grinding fortnite on xbox haha. (if anyone wants to add me and play, it's 'Panic Pyramid). I used to be unbelievably into gaming when i was a teenager, mainly halo2, and since handing in my essay i've been indulging in taking it easy and just having fun. Fittingly, as i move into the last term of the year at uni, we're studying adolescence.

On the first day back we did a really fun exercise where the entire year (about 40 of us) each brought in a song that was influential in our teenage years. Stories included; first boyfriends/girlfriends, parties, moving home, taking drugs, depression and everything else you could imagine that goes on in your teenage years.

My song is below. The reason i chose it was because when i was 14 i entered, and won a battle of the bands at school - to the mortified faces of all our teachers lmao.



I thought it might be cool for people who read the thread to post their own songs with a reason why they chose it!

Yesterdays graph. Played some 5k which didn't go great.



vs the pig, ishter





Got quite a lot on this weekend but will definitely play some.

glgl

no respect for the innerpsy

for the JTs hand, feels like they always have QJ there but also too dirty to fold

JThh idiotcall

When s the last time anybody didn’t checkjam the river with queens there?

Here's mine:



My legit favourite band when I was 15

I hadn't listened to their music in years until very recently some guy posted one of their songs in my thread and I've since gone back and had a listen to their other stuff from back in the day. I definitely now realise they really were as terrible as everyone else thought they were lmao.


I don't know why exactly I liked them. I think it had a lot to do with the psychological need to come across as different/edgy and a desire to be part of a bizarre subculture. I think that is quite common for a lot of people in their mid teens?

Anyway, obv regret allowing that garbage to influence my stars name but what can you do? The lesson is learned and from now on I'll be sure think much more long term when I need to come up with usernames/email addresses/domain names ect..
