just be happy he saved you half a big bet by not waiting till the turn. but yeah i am not a fan of turning a bluff catcher into a bluff on the flop like this. and i have seen some lines like this from him, maybe he can provide his reasoning.

Daiq, you really need to start playing on FTP again. I could use some winning sessions.

or maybe we could remove who it was and not make notsogood regs play better

lol at ixiterra ever taking our advice

How does it help? It isn't even advice, it's getting him thinking about things that he might not think about.

Seems pretty shortsighted.

You are being very results oriented.

I wanted him to think about shoving his 92s up his ass

175503, you are right I am sure ixiterra has never heard anyone say don't turn a bluff catcher into a bluff. have you seen his strat posts? he goes in, hijacks thread, says he's been playing this way since 2003 and it's obviously best and won't listen to anything to the contrary. then the thread centers around him.

< not worried about letting the cat out of the bag.

Maybe we should also stop helping people in start threads while we are at it, wouldn't want to help a reg get better.

Turning bluff catchers into bluffs is basically standard for limit these days. People bet A high when checked to I'd say 90% of the time now. It's amazing what people will bet when checked to these days and I'm not sure if they think they are bluffing of not.

You are a fool to think that Ixiterra hasn't already conceived and analyzed millions of situations in LHE and extrapolated the best possible course of action. To suggest he "might not think about" something is absurd.

I point you to his recent dissertation on open-limping from all positions. I think you will find it quite illuminating.

Why are you such a bitter person jack?

As far as the open limping thread, it was half-troll half-serious because so many people foam at the mouth on this board about anything that goes against what stox (I think there was some lhe book?) says or card runners.

As far as the 92s, if that's the worst hand I've played today, then I consider it a good day. My logic is to furiously click buttons and hope chips come my way. I remember that hand but I didn't realize it was against you.

And daq, you should probably learn to control your tilt. I'm thinking of getting one of those clowns with sand in the bottom for punching. wanna go halfsies?

I'll get back to you.

ya, we know

down like syndrome imo

haven't seen those but I'm seriously considering to buy a sandbag. problem is, the continous banging would drive my neigbors crazy and would probably ruin my otherwise good relationship with them and I don't want that. so I just keep punching my extra thick mouse pad
and yes I continously work on my tilt every day, but the improvement process is slloooooowww (although I do get results, the kind of monkeytilt I played on for 4-5 mins today is something that hasn't happened to me in over a year, well at least normally I quit).

rest assured, this has never ever been a problem before for you

ha-ha

Anyone else on here have the audacity to go for SuperNovaElite?

Assuming I don't get lazy and not play for 5 months of the year again, I should.

oh great openlimp, turning bluff catchers into bizarre vbets or bluffs (?), FPS at every single table this year

you liked that 32o hand didn't you pesty

i don't remember it. did you own me?

no but I think I did since you failed to vbet the river

i remember missing an easy vbet against you, i guess i never bothered to look at what you had. this new lame stars update is putting a delay on the hole cards popping up for mein HEM.

oh ok here is the hand. is this river check horrendous? I am thinking yes. I don't think you played it bad ixiterra, besides preflop. It's not like you are going to get me to fold something like queen high postflop. And I mean come on 32o, I mean I will play ATC against some guys, but me?
