The very few times I tilt its in 2-7TD. And tilting here is so sick. Opening too many hands and never folding is a recipy for disaster.

not if you get there

Getting there with a 9862 draw though...

True.

How so? I've played a little bit of TDL against her and she played fine, I can't speak for her abilities in the other games but I think she has a DC subscription. And her well known aggression is obviously a plus in any tournament.

Ha so pleased to hear this from a experienced player. I dont remember ever tilting before really, 2 weeks into 2-7 and I managed to drop 50BB in about 25 mins doing exactly this

Also true, not having any info except the draw can tilt

Perhaps this is why fish get mad when the rough 9 they patted pre gets overtaken 3 way with people drawing 2.

add the fact the u can get called by the BB while u have a nut draw yourself, fish BB draws 4,u bet and get raised OTF. gl not tilting.

Ah, I forgot about this. I will always WTF-raise no matter what here. And get very sad when I lose.

sorry i forgot the best ! raise btn HU/discard all! r u talking to me?

3bet HU, draw 3, donk/3bet flop for luck, donk/3bet turn 1:pat with the nuts.

It's definitely felt like that the defend-4 guys got there more often than the defend-3 crowd, ime. But when the defend 4 guys get there, it's a way higher tilt factor, especially when they show a non-deuce hand.

Hey guys i really need some help. I have not been able to track my results playing pl 5cardraw. Is there any tracker out there that i could use?

I'm not that much interested in datamining and use it as a hud in case this software is actually avaliable. But I'm curious if those 5card draw games are being played with some kind of tracker.

Sorry for my weird english skills.

Thanks a lot

google fpdb or pokerhands

Record for the most cards drawn to make a 7? I think I've seen 9 a couple of times including tonight.

Oh god, I never really paid attention to the aggregate total. I am pretty sure I have seen 9 before. I dunno about 10; that would take talent.


And congrats to weirdchess1 (Scott Abrams) for making Day 7 of the Main Event. He is currently in 11th place!! I used to play him in 2-7TD in the "good 'ol days"...haha

Yeah, that is cool. I played quite a bit with weirdchess at small-mid stakes 8 game. Good for him, hope he final tables.

Scotty out in 12th. Then Elisabeth Hille out in 11th. Gaelle Baumann (last woman) 10th/10. Not cool.

Runbad for me. Now I have noone to root for in octo-nine. Elisabeth Hille would have been sick. A woman AND norwegian.

I am friendly with Vanessa so I think she won't kill me for saying she probably is only great at 2 of the 10 games (big bet obv), competent at 4 more (not sure which just guessing) and making lots of mistakes in the last 4. But what I've learned is that the really good tournament players have some skills that us cash game people are pretty bad at, and they just pick their spots super well (especially when they have the chip lead) and run over people that are trying not to bust and she is great at that.

as a disclaimer I think I am "great" at 3 of the games, competent at 4 more, and really bad at 3 of them myself, and most guys that I played 10 game with online or in similar mix games live probably have this sort of breakdown, so its not like a huge insult to say that about someone

+1 to what DD said

As a tourney play (obv not in vanessa class) i think cash game players miss a lot of spots in mtts and massively underestimate the need to keep chipping up and conversly take some +ev spots that are possibly high variance/thin which you dont need to take in a tourny.

Sitting at two of the softest tables ever. Having to go to sleep because you'll soon be too tired to move the mouse. That's the worst beat known to man. Won't be able to sleep, thinking about all the money left at the table.

(Sitting at said tables and losing money at a rate of 0.5BB/hand is a close second. Trust me, I've experienced both. Not at the same time, fortunately).

Limp/cap, draw 3. Raise/cap, draw 2, show down 87655 (drawing 2 on 3rd). Check/raise/cap turn vs pat, check/call river with 96543. Donk multiway flop and draw 2, or 1 to 9862. Cap flop, pat:pat:1, b/3b turn, break. Raise T6432 on the river as second player after 1:1:1.

Almost everybody was playing like that.

-50 BB from said table the party continued at 5/10
what i was thinking was:
here u go u try to study the game and think strategy and they cap 4cds and bink

This is how it looks at 10/20:



It seems that triple draw graphs can only go in two directions: up and down. Left and right are just illusions that vanish when you increase the stakes. The above actually looks just as sharp in my BB graph as it does in the $ one.

I was very familar with the "heartbeat" graph as well.

there have been a few occasions of almost straight across (minor swings only), but yes, up or down, and in big numbers!
