K, I'm gonna pull a Nemo and say if anybody sees SMSL2010 sitting PM me/ AIM.

All this is completely irrelevant. If it's +EV, it's +EV. If it's -EV, it's -EV. Why throw away equity against someone who is rematching?

You're trying to hedge your post by saying even if it is +EV, he should "wait for a better spot". But that's wrong (very common error). If it's +EV, he shouldn't pass up the edge against someone who is rematching him.

what are the Sn's I want to rail this...

Who says it is +ev? THOAC? if thats his opinion then fair enough, i don't think it is vs a winning player. I don't like calling a c/r with hands like 22 on paired boards either just because my equity isn't great and the playability of the hand isn't great.

Lastly, isn't Greg complaining that this guy isn't playing enough games? You can argue your point if the guy is going to play Greg a ton, i don't think that will happen, but you never know.

Nah, i just think the playability of the hand is terrible vs a winning player. No matter how bad he is. I've played this guy before and i think he's exploitable without even putting yourself in tough spots which calling with this hand will absolutely do. So i don't think it's neccessary for Greg to call this down especially when there's no guarentee that this guy will rematch.

whats ur ftp name AON?

550s HDIPxx back it up

I play on Stars now. I gave up on the FTP since the day they introduced STS as they almost killed action in regular games.

u going for SNE next year

Heh. You're missing the point. I think it's a -EV calldown, I just think your reasoning needs work. While it may not be necessary for him to call in order to be +EV against him, if the call itself is +EV, it is highly likely you're throwing away money by not calling. We don't just care about being +EV, we care about having the best hourly expectation possible. And against someone who has been rematching a ton and appears ready to duel, passing up on EV is just silly.

this will end in about 20 games i bet.

ill stick with 220s right now vs u but we will play 3s and 5s trust me - and have a haircut at 5pm but will play later this evening, you be around?

Ah ok, fair enough. I'm not the best at expressing my thoughts but i just know it was a bad call-down. I probs shouldn't have added the old 'wait for the better spot' thing. :P

No i won't, let's play now you don't seem to be too busy.

is their ever a situation where 'waiting for a better spot' is the right thing to do in a HUSNG?

just told you hoss, i have an appt in less than an hour and am leaving in less than 10 min...you know how to tell time on that side of the world?

Yes imo, it's just an overused/misused term.

I don't mean to be a nit about it btw. I just wrote an article about common flawed reasonings that can lead to bad decisions in HUSNG so that was fresh in my mind. It will make for a good thread when it comes out, I think (hope)

Me? god no, i'm a volume fish lol ALthough i'm getting better, i think i'll hit 800 games this month on Stars with avg game like 11 mins or smth, so thats like 1600 ftp turbos for me, so i'm happy with my work ethic this month. But at the stakes i play, that wouldn't be enough to hit SNE next year.

If i can improve a ton and move up to 550/1ks then you never know but i very much doubt it and i'm def not shooting for that. I'm happy just banking right now and i'm also in the middle of taking over a small business so my time in playing might not be great in the short/long term. But we'l see :P

Yep.

If someone's shoving every hand and you think they might not rematch, correct is to wait for a better spot a lot.

If it's less pronounced edges, it's a somewhat complicated calculation, but far too many people err way on the side of passing up too many edges, wanting to be too sure.

So AoN is confirmed not busto again?

what's this?

cool sh.it. ever drink in the west end?

Haha, it's all good. I'm sure the thread will be good and i'll look forward to reading it.

is there any software for husng that will display the stack size in terms of bb?

Busto? I've never been busto in my life with the exception of when i was studying in college for my diploma in Business and Finance; those days were rough And also when i was failing at $5 husngs, check some of my posts in beginners thread when i was taking a stand with 22 on ridic boards, those were the busto days All the money i lost was on a stake, and i was a solid winning player before that and i'm thankfully back on track now with help ofc :P

I'm probably guilty of this tbh unless i'm on tilt. ATC will do :P

A nursery that a family friend owns and he's retiring. So i'm getting a loan from the bank to take it over. Everything is looking good on the finance side of things but there's still a lot to sort out so i won't be happy until i know it's 100% mine. I'll double fist pump if it does go through though :P

Yeah sometimes bud. Where abouts you drink? I mainly drink in the city centre though if i'm being honest.
