This

I'm down here this afternoon. Anyone else playing today?

OMW after a steam, shave, steam, shower combo. FTW.

Table 21 when you get here

4.

Lol I left like 5 mins after you. Immediately dropped two buy-ins in b2b hands. KK<A5 aapf and 44<QJ aapf. In the first hand the guy 4b me and double ran a wheel lol. He was smug in flipping it over too. Then some lady who was " ready to go home" goes nuts with two paint. Lol poker. I decided to leave, elevate, eat at Northstar and maybe take a nap. Might go back later.

Sorry to hear that since you said your table was soft. Sad face

Have a "Parliament", eat some delicious food, and recharge buddy.

How do you put a buy-in in preflop with 44? What hand isn't racing against you, or worse having you totally dominated? Did your opponent show you their two cards and that's why you pushed 44 so hard?

Not trying to be critical, just trying to understand why you thought 44 was a hand to lose a full buy-in with pf? Or was the 2nd hand not a full buy-in?

Was this 2-5? at what time of day/night? I've never seen opponents put it all in pf w/o a group 1 hand...

If that was roughly during the football games than table 4 looked like a damn soft table. Table 5 (the other 2/5 table they had running) was pretty soft also. I ran ridic. cold there and still came out +150. Raised PF with QJs and triple barreled a moron on a board that ran out J5642. He called all the way down with 42o. LOL poker.

At least I hero called a guy for $125 OTR on a board that ran out 8T466 with 45s. He showed AKs after limp-calling and going check-bet-bet. That one felt good. One of the more confident physical reads I've ever made on someone.

As to getting it AIPF w/44 that's usually not bad at 2-5 against a bad opponent or someone that genuinely seems like they're ready to go home. If you're a 1-2 player you probably don't see a lot of it, but anything higher tends to draw a certain percentage of players that are ready to gambooool and like to show how rich they are by shoving around stacks. If you're confident you're up against such a person and they are genuinely raising light, flipping w/44 is fine, particularly if there is some $$ already in the pot.

What Shaffer said is lol 100 % spot on. It was table 4 and it was very weak (pretty much the only time I play 2/5). I had flatted a pf raiser (mistake/tilt/leave me alone) as did the button. The lady in the BB insta shipped and I read her as super weak. She would not do this w/ 99+, I figured her for a broadway ish type hand and hoped that some of her outs would be dead as the limpers could've shared them. The first limper (the same guy who held A5) thought and as he was thinking the button was telegraphing that he was going to fold. Limper folded, I saw the dead $$ in the pot and getting ~ 2.5:1 I decided to gamble. Button insta mucked and lady insta flopped top 2. She actually said, "I was ready to go home." True story. EZ game.

flipping with bad opponents is bad. wait for a better spot.

Flipping @ 2.5~1 with some of your opponents outs dead is bad?

how do u get 2.5-1 on a raise call jam preflop? and your best case scenario is pretty much flipping thats y i just suggested to wait for better spots

Dead monies brother.

High variance but if you have a roll I don't think the shove is bad.

it wasn't a shove it was calling off with 44 which is a lot different and no your not getting 2.5/1 my man sorry. a raise say to 20 call call and then a shove for let's say 400 makes the pot 460 and it's 380 more to u 460/380= 1.21/1

Misread on my part regarding donni not shoving.

Still, donni never said stacks sizes so while your right in theory with your make-believe hand he said he was getting 2.5-1 on his call which I would do all the time with the reads he gave.

Why? What prevents you from taking both this spot and the better spot that comes later? Passing up on +EV spots is for fish.

Does the poker room have free wifi? I'm headed there tomorrow to donate some $$ and would like to listen to tunes while donating.

Negative.

Thanks!

Weird Facebook post from Gemini saying they "may be closing on Saturday".

Any info on this? Temporary? For good? Moving?

It is why they have been having these two large tournaments to give the BBJ and RF jackpots back to the players. Gemini made it 6 good years for the Columbus poker scene.

And thus ends another chapter in Columbus Poker. After a 6 year run Gemini Columbus closes its doors.

PS The equipment has been purchased and is moving to Mansfield, totally different owner (former reg at Gemini).

Sad. I was going to try to play in the Tuesday tourney, but life interfered (as it often does.) This was the first place I played regularly, so it will always be special to me.

(Though "regularly" meant once a week in the cheap Tuesday evening tourneys back when they were running...that deep stack 1/3 game scared the crap out of me )
