He also came to bdubs asking me for money. His "im playing" and then the "im out" was based on our text convo last night. Roundtree puts me in a tizzy every time I am there. I didnt want to back him or anything, kinda weird. He also looks like a big gremlin. Maybe a MudHens hat would help.

Is anyone interested in playing somepokerz, but only if we paly 2B9s best game (more on that later), tomorrow. Was thinking MCC or MGM. Greektown can go **** itself with a knife.

Had the makings of an epic TR. Fizzled out.

Can 2B9s confirm? This could be awkward.

So did you guys have more than 4 all night? Sounds like there's at least four more ITT, specially if we run it at a more central location.

How did it end up, Jose?

So I'm not that great a TR's but I will outline some things.

The game was great even though we mostly played 4 handed. We had opportunities to take other peoples moniez but they were in awe of the games we played. At one point, a large man came and sat in the game with an entire rack of red, said deal me in, and then realized we were not playing any games he knew. He then proclaimed we were playing games "his kids would play" and when asked what games in the lineup he would play, he proclaimed, any game as long as it's NLHE or PLO. As much as I would have enjoyed gambling with him, None of us were in the mood to gamble that hard.

I will say that trip kings treated us pretty well. Roma, being a fellow fat man, was craving ice cream and convinced the floor to go to McDonalds at 11pm and get us all sundaes. The room was quiet, while there was craziness outside. It almost felt as though we were in Ivey's room at the Aria.

I did observe 3 things last night:

1: every game is 2B9's best game
2: Roma loves to gambooool
3: charity roulette is the devil

[ ] Surprised about #1
[ ] Surprised about #2
[x] Surprised about #3

I will complete the TR. I was really tired last night, and I have been busy all morning. Expect one by the end of the day.

This is such an accurate depiction of that game it's unreal. Even though I think I’ve profited every time I play there, I refuse to go back because I leave with the worst migraines having to put up with those characters.
Also, if anyone was at MCC on Saturday night/Sunday morning, my buddy hit the BBJ for ~$18k. Lost quad threes to quad sevens.

I actually really wanted to switch to PLO at this point being that it is my best game

Maybe a little too much to drink but had a fun time at MCC and a good payday also leaving with $1,100 (started with $200) on a $1/2 table.

At nvd all day.. profit 38$ in cash.
Currently steaming in tourney

Just got it in AA vs KK with 6 left at ft.. obviously villain spikes. $120 for my troubles.

Yea Pretty much i try to not pay attention to what comes out of peoples mouth that is offensive. People there are far from geniuses. You however have to listen as they will tell you alot about their game. I Usually Just sit there like a Corpse taking in all the information that i can. Trying to pick Plus EV spots against the worst group of people who ever played the game.

I always find it interesting how one person can bet on the flop , and there will be 5 people to see the turn. It honestly Baffles me sometimes. Like ok 1 or 2 people might have a over pair or top pair but what are the other three people hoping for. The flop comes Tx 8x X rainbow. Dude calls $15 on the flop w Q3 and has nothing on the board.(there are no draws either) Turn is a 3. And the Same guy leads out for $25. Everyone calls the Turn bet. River is a Three. and lol spewy luckbox has best hand w Trip threes. This is common at 4Aces

Ooo what a day. Had an interesting time with Scotty today. TR from last night and today coming later. Now, I must clean the machine gun fire wounds.

I think that baccarat is 2B9s best game.

Quit with the TR slow rolls, Roma!

Who wants to play tomorrow? Nvd had some good action. They were damn close to selling out both charities when I left at 11. I contemplated buying into cash game but there wasn't much money on the table and only 2k left on charity.

Pretty cool atmosphere with the live racing going on. A bit loud but plenty of gambool.

if the btn and utg both want to straddle.. who does it default to?

electric slick said

So i am sitting here Squinting like Popeye.(had eye surgery). and i am bored. reading 2+2 WITH MY good eye crying. lol. i can't help it. eye naturally tears when they have particles or something.
Just wishing i could go play some Pokerz. I am totally bored out of my mind.

I always thought it was funny that people for some reason think that straddling is a good idea. The Guys that crack me up the most are the ones that are UTG who straddle to $10 with a stack of $50 essentially giving themselves a 5 bb stack.
Or you see some idiot with $60 on the button who straddles for $10 and then trys to out play someone who raises it to $20 from early position. like they even have fold equity with 73o. Was the funniest thing i ever seen.

hypothetically if the players to your left have an edge on you and you are all deep then a button straddle would take their edge away when stack sizes are cut in half. but you already had position on those with an edge on you so meh


but besides that UTG straddle especially -ev

I like to slowroll TRs, sorry.
When I get home, there are things that I didn't do all day that take precedent over my TRs. I have all day, so I will chop them out.

Alright, since I suck, heres what I promise.
I am most likely going to the eages (Soaring Eagle, forever immortalized as the eages) tomorrow. I am not driving because I am too fat to drive. Therefore, that gives me between 1h45m and 5h (depending on whether Scott drives like a 90yo) to write to my hearts content.
O8, I will write you a solid TR for the mixed game. However, I must say, I only had one righteous bathroom break.

Jammers, i am down to play today...
I am going to text you in about 4 minutes.

What's going on at S.E?
Detroit Thread Road Trip? I'm down!

Nothing special, just some vaca and pokerz. IDK what the exact plans are.
