n8f4LL plays like how I used to, selecting a pretty tight preflop range and expecting that betting every street should take it down.

Some 1/2 regulars I do not like at my tables: DrivingDog, k345 (he drops down enough to be a "regular"), Dr_Krasnicki

I've been arguing some with a guy on a swedish forum that plays PS 5/10 and above, he posted a hand against sethy so i know at least one of you have met him. He says his a regular there and his screenname is Flesh2Flesh. Is he a good player?
How did I play it
IMO you played it fine, but he thinks you played it wrong. So I really took a fight for you and I think I won it. It was a hand where you 3-betted AJ from SB and then flesh caps also with AJ in BB. Then its a bet and a raise to you on a A42r flop. You call and flesh call. Turn and river is an 8 and 9 no FD and both you and flesh c/c down and the floppraiser shows A2.

Flesh thought you should fold flop since he showed strenght pf and it was a raise on the flop.

what a stupid hand to pick a fight about. "flesh" bets the flop with ~100% of his range and we're doing decent against the flop raisers range. maybe folding is right, but what a stupid spot to nitpick. if he is so sure seth should fold the flop, shouldn't he make a fold somewhere later when seth keeps calling? durrrrrrrrrr uhhhhhthuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh

Anybody in the lower limits play with ThxBearl? I have him as a TAGfish. He doesn't adjust his raising range for position and seems to play straight forward post-flop.
Bearl holds the record for consecutive suckouts against me. I always have him in bad shape and he pulls the rabbit outta the hat time and time again.

He overvalues mid pocket pairs way too much, auto 3 betting with them no matter what position the raise came from or what kind of player he's up against. He also overvalues certain hands post-flop--his post-flop aggro factor in the hands I have with his is near 3.

He claims to be beating 5/1 for 11bbs/100.

Miles, sorry I just suck at English but do you mean I was stupid or Flesh?

Have you played against Flesh2Flesh? What kind of player is he? I only know he's swedish and says he plays 15/30 and 30/60 but has moved down to 5/10 bc of nasty downswing.

i'm saying flesh is being clearly overdramatic about a spot that is not clear. it's not like seth had 88 here.

OK. Actually he finally agreed that sethy played this hand ok. But he also said that he likes to sit at the same table as sethy

HAHA.

For the amount of time he spends at that level (and I know because I've spent a long time there as well - because of cash outs more than anything) it's not happening. Unless he has hold card cams, this is impossible for any player at those stakes. The rake and random aggression at that level probably restricts even the best players to around 2-3BB/100. Anyway, everybody is a winner at poker. I imagine that this guy takes shots at 1/2 and keeps falling back down. I think he could be a slight winner at 0.5/1 though because he has decent hand selection even if he has know idea what to do with those hands.

Also, you knowing his win-rate suggests you have argued with him.

Good read.

Yeah, I got little tilted against him one session. He asked what my win rate was then stated his, which I told him was impossible.

I've made peace with him. He's a nice guy, but overrates himself.

Have you ever played with the megafish Barber234?

He might well say that since he's ran like a god vs. me (had to look it up, he's up ~30 bets in 550 or so hands on me...)

When LAGfish whine. Is he a solid winner at that level? I would guess not if he's crying about a hand like that, where he could have even folded at some point. It's funny how people play LAG and then whine because they get too much action. More gooder logic.

I have a pretty small sample (600 hands) but he seems to be about 22/16. He's also a showdown monkey. WTSD of 45. I've seen him make some pretty loose calldowns. He's also 3bet my EP raises pretty light a few times.

Is it common for the US mornings/afternoon hours to be filled with TAGs from Europe everywhere? I had a tough time finding good tables at 1/2 this morning while skipping work with a hangover.

I find daytime Stars (EST) to be about the worst time to play there.
09-21-2007 , 11:05 PM
Ogrodek is, for the most part, a nit.
09-22-2007 , 12:08 AM
Man that LAGfish Okiam runs good against me.
09-22-2007 , 02:17 AM
Tough day for me so far. For some reason the fish are in hiding and tables are just filled with 28/19/2.5's. Then when I do manage to find a fish me cracks my AA or something similar with hands like T3.

Viva la variance
09-23-2007 , 07:18 AM
What about me, DrArpadElo? I've only been playing with this handle (normally 3/6, but occasionally I'll tilt up to 15/30) for about a month so maybe not technically a "reg", but I'm a sick mother [censored] who's on about 23.5 hours a day so I reckon some of you've played with me a decent amount.

Is draghkar any of you? If he is you might want to think about pressing that check or fold button on occasion. If he isn't, then he's a spewfish lag and needs to stop crying at my tables because he's getting action.

That goes for chawinski as well.

I love Stars during the day. At night, you have to show a hand to win.

The weak-passives let me steamroll the table, which helps since I play super-LAG.
09-25-2007 , 06:18 AM
That might be, but by far the best time is 2-7 AM EST, when the Russians, Euros, and especially Eastern Euros (and ESPECIALLY middle Eastern/Turkish), play. Holy Christ.
09-25-2007 , 06:41 AM
I have found that the best time to play is during the American afternoon. My general line of thinking though is that the more players there are, the more fish there are.
09-25-2007 , 09:44 AM
Yeah that's probably a good time to play as well. I suppose the main thing to remember is not to play, if possible, from about 6-11:30 PM EST unless you want a bunch of TAGs at your table.

Hell yeah. 4 bet turn semi-bluffs with gutshots. Calling the river with 9 high. Capping pf with 22. And let's not even talk about what they do with flush draws. It's too freakin' scary.
