oh lame, that's such a shame. Well maybe he took it out of the show cus it didn't really dazzle when he showed it to us!

The phone number trick was just out of this world. We talked about it for ages after and couldn't even come up with a theory behind it other than he knew the person and it was rigged! Obviously don't ever wanna believe that so i'm more than happy to leave it as a mystery

The medium thing blows my mind ever time. It's just so ridiculous

Yeah phone number thing is absoloutely ridiculous, maybe he manipulates her/him to think for a minute that is her number when its not really?

Funny thing about the medium stuff is he tells them hes not a medium and its a trick but he still does it better than actual mediums lol

            Question:

            A7 vs A9, why is your range capped? VS an Aggro reg why can't you have 2 pairs/sets here and let villain hang himself if he's aggro instead of going bet/bet bet, board is dry, there's not much he can call multiple streets with. I have to agree that your hand is face up once you call the turn but I think it's a fold even thou it's super exploitable to do so. Your hand is at worst Ax with that turn card falling

            22 vs A4, Why can't villain have a 4? Is it because A4 is basically the only 4x he can have or is it because you think his preflop call is bad?

            Thanks!

            Q9/QQ/9c6c too, and given the dryness of the board, I could get behind checking A9/A3 otf. And if he is never bluffing 3 streets there, then well played him, every time you have a hand that would call two but give up river, you win. If he's never firing 2 as a bluff, then every time you have a hand that would call one but give up turn, you win.

            Yeh sorry I don't mean I'm actually capped, I mean I am perceived to get to the river with a weaker range with Ax 9x and 9xcc too. I feel I have those hands too much to fold. Clearly my strategy is somewhat flawed if my range is super weak here. The main issue is that we haven't played much together and he knows I'm not overly comfortable at 600 so he may be trying to bluff me more? I dunno, I'm probably levelling myself for no reason.

            As for the A4, I'm just bitter that he got there

                  We got aaaabsolutely raped at football today. Lost 7-3 vs our rivals. The league is so unbelievably tight, we may not make the top half of the league (top half go into a premiership and bottom half go into championship). If we weren't to make top half it would be a complete disaster. We have to win next week!

                  Other than that i have just made a seriously sick prop bet with my housemate peter804. He is really sick at tennis and i absolutely suck (only played a few times). We have made a bet for my £100 to his £30,000 for me to win a 3 set match. The time frame i have is till my 31st birthday which is 6 years 4 months away. I'm allowed to challenge him to 4 matches a year with a 2 month prior warning. I will be hiring a tennis coach this week to get the ball rolling. I am so insanely pumped for this bet and will keep posted how the coaching is going!

                  Got 1 and a half more days of grinding left of the week - i'm off to a festival called Secret Garden Party this weekend. If anyone is going then hit me up! Really really looking forward to taking some time out of poker to just chill.

                  That's about everything so good luck!

                  Got some bad/funny news guys. Pete is hating having made the bet so much that he has asked to bail lololol. If he wasnt a really close mate I wouldn't ever let him out, but I can't be that brutal to him when he says its actually affecting his day to day life (thinking about it too much while grinding etc) Hilarious though, feels like a mini win gg pete

                  Too bad, was actually one of the best bets ive heard about. Imagine him shaking when he has no idea about your progress, you Start first Match after 4 years and you serve an Ace right away, looool

                  Should've never said this.

                  Also you should've agreed on a buy-out. Would've been the easiest couple of thousands of pounds you'd have ever made in your life.

                  so how many students did you get after your first video? I dont know how active CR is nowadays but a year ago you'd already be at 10-20 guys who can barely put 4 words together.
