he has lost alot this year, iv seen him say it in chat.

Obviously its a random sample but I saw him losing to juuuiice for what looked like around 100k (?), more than once, and he moved down straight after.

Did nose-bleed rake go down a lot recently? I could swear that when Isildur started playing 1k/2k 2-7 less than a week ago, the rake was $5 per hand. Now it's $2. Or am I remembering wrong?

HU rake is $2, >=3-handed it's still $5.

Aha, cheers.

I...butchered this hand so badly that it overflowed from epic fail to epic win?

(Rake: $2.07)

I guess SB started with a flush draw, missed that he didn't have to draw to the flush anymore and thought I was betting unimproved. Or he could have been taking lessons from BTN, who had snowed 65322 on the flop (while a card ahead) against CO, who called river with J5432.

Sounds like a fun game Vempele

Dear everyone who routinely berates the fish: please withdraw your roll, then withdraw it from the bank, then set it on fire. It has the same effect while averting the risk of anyone else's money catching fire as well.

Or if you only do it sometimes, try biting your own hand rather than the one that feeds you.

yes.

If he's willing to limp SB and draw 4 without a deuce, what did he fold in the first hand getting 4.67:1?

Ace high straight...lol

Hello new to the forum. Playing a5 and 2-7 lowball games on merge for a while now as LouDiamondPhillips. I have enjoyed reading you all talk about TD I dont know anyone else who even knows how to play. Anyone else here playing over there I think I know and have played with every reg all the way up to there highest limits.

Are you the real LDP?

Capoch was playing 1/2 TD tonight with stats of 100/100/infinity. He blew off $200 in a little over ten minutes, then left. I did manage to profit while he was there but still had a losing session overall.

Yeah he does this every now and then. I think I've been at a table where he's done it 3-4 times, and I actually managed to lose a fair bit one time when he ran hot for a while (I was probably also adjusting poorly).

I played my first ever hands of NL2-7TD because he was sitting in at .25/.50 and shipping $20 a hand. It got very very deep, and I got super unlucky to chop w/ #2 in a ~$300 pot where I was pat OTF and another guy (not capoch) rivered it. I guess at least it didn't turn into a bad beat story...

I'm guessing it's mostly just a boredom thing, but I like to think it's also a nice way for some money to flow from the top of the pyramid down, instead of the other way. So if he does it for that reason as well, then that's pretty cool. It's also fun seeing guys going "OMG, why is he doing this??", "he must have lost so much $$$", and I'm thinking, he's probably lost about .5BB of the stakes he often plays...

Haven't seen him post on 2+2 in while though, not sure if there's a reason behind it or not. Based on his avatars here and on PS, he seems to like Matt Groening animated shows

does 75/150 omaha or 100/200 8game/razz/whatever other games run any more on stars?

I've 100% seen 100/200 8-game running on Stars recently, no idea about the rest sorry.

I've personally seen a 75/150 omaha8 game run last week I think. Razz I don''t know. And there was a 100/200 stud game going 2? days ago

A few new high stakes tables have opened up for PL Triple Draw on Stars, 25/50, 50/100 and 100/200. No one playing at the moment but there are people sitting there waiting (so just like the HS Limit tables then ).

I don't think he'd win, but would be interesting to see if Isildur wants to give it a go, given his predilection for that other Pot Limit game...

100/200 PLTD is such a huge game, the swings are going to be ridiculous, and nobody may play it except the 2/400plo guys.

Would any DOP players be interested in a skype group for us lot to chat about poker and other stuff? I haven't been able to find a mixed game skype group so thought it would be fun if anyones fancies it?

I'm such a dumbass sometimes, got to the river and realised I had a pair of 6s in my hand and realised I had to bet to win, second guy tanked for aaaggessss.

GL in the NL Draw tourney today guys!

PL TD is going off it seems. 25/50 has 5 tables running, 3 of them 6 handed and 1 with a 4 player wait-list! I guess there was some pent up demand; time will tell if it's a fleeting popularity or not.

1 HU table of 50/100 too.
