No I dont,because if I did you wouldnt listen and pay attention to it anyways.And you would just ignore it and just say why my preflop raise is wrong here,even though its just fine here

Also if your going to be a stickler for the standard raise system of 3 x BB raise or 4 x BB raise no matter what you raise with,you got a lot to learn.Also standard raising is better at higher stakes instead of at micro stakes.But I am not going to explain why though.

Ummmm....you decided it was a bad time? If I were you, I would ditch my wife, dogs, house etc. and become live-in bitch to ShaunEffingDeeB if he would coach me at poker.

I think this says it best....

I'll cradle the balls, stroke the shaft, work the pipe, and swallow the gravy. Get it over here, buddy. Let's do this

love this thread and your poker mind Mike.

That was a old thread,te experiment is not going on anymore,because it got replaced by a coach who make $5k,7k,10K,13k(somewhere around that much per year)per year,who offered to stake me,and coach me.I learned a lot fom that coach.

As far as a spreadsheet,your the 2nd person who has suggested that,and as soon as I igure out how to d a spreadsheet or someone shows me,I will.Also is been forever since I have done a excel spreadsheet,and its going to take some time to relearn it,or have someone show me how to use it.

This is untrue.

QF1235

I read your explanation and I still think you need to work on your hand reading skills, as evidenced by post 108. There you didn't think a big A was in his range on the turn. I think most people here would put a decent A as a big part of his range. If you think you don't need to work on it, then fine. I don't really care.

That's not what I said either. I said that you had an incorrect POV - Point Of View. You said:
That's incorrect. There's a big difference and if you don't understand that, then it's something you need to look up.

There, that's two things you can work on to improve. Constructive critisism imo.

I also noted that you didn't comment on

Ok, so it's just random sizing here then? Fine with me.

What ranges do you give to the other 3 players that goes to the flop with you. This is before the flop betting begins ok?

Mike

I am playing in the full tilt poker $100 freeroll playing in 8 minutes.So if any of you want to watch me,and make constructive comments on my play,you can,and it would be appreciated.

My Full Tilt Screen Name is Mikah

mike please cliffnote everything you say from now on.

mike is talking smack now:

IABoomer (Observer): I have five minutes to read/post before the game starts again and the epic rail continues
Mikah: lol not likely lol
Mikah: oh cool whats the game your in that is being sweated?
System: The $30,000 KO Guarantee ($120+$9 NL Hold'em) will be starting in 3 minutes.
Mikah: Also the 2+2 er's that post in my latest thread lol think I will poop my pants lol.They are just dying to see any hand that they can see and say "OMG I your crazy for playing that way" without paying attention to the situation I describe
Mikah: also they base my whole entire play on 1 HH lol
Mikah: I wish they were here lol so I could exploit them lol

Late reg. available? tourney number so I can be exploited?

[ ] games are dead

Mike, also, why did you post two different hand histories that showed you raising to steal the blinds, but not several other hands from the same tourney with multi street action (ones you described where you got 'bad beat' and some other times that 'hammering the blinds' didn't work). we can all help more on multi street hands, rather than you raising 98s from the CO and winning the blinds.

i made the "hey mike I hope you poop your pants" comment fwiw.

QFOMG

Hey Mikah. Good to see you back man, FTP forum hasn't been the same since they banned you.

Surely one of the funniest things ever posted on youtube!!!

" I have a backdoor 2 pair draw "

Priceless!!

Hey boomer with blinds 1600,and aout t go up to the next level,and with a 57 k stack on the button,and with the 300k donk stack donking calling all in like crazy all the time,and with everybody else being tight at the table,and with it being bubble time,and with 7 other limpers limping 1600 each,and with the antes from everyone,and with having A6 suited on the SB,or button(will have to find the HH,an since you were there watching me at the table.Was it right for me to shove pre to pick up a 17 to 19k pot preflop?

I mean how could the 300k donk stack who was calling any and all all ins preflop with any 2 marginal cards in any barely semi marginal hand,how could a donk like that,and with a stack of 300k limp KK?

Its not like any of the rest of us besides here were hyperagressive.And there was only a 3% chance I would estimate of any of use shoving preflop against her KK.And so i I hadnt picked up that A6 suited hand and had folded or called,the KK donk would have had like 8 people in the hand with them to outflop them.

I just dont see anyway that I or anyone else could ever put the donk on limping KK.

Also I dont think I had any choice to shove,based on the situation,since I really needed those 20k or so in chips.

So I think I played it right

So what do you think,IA boomer or anyone else who was there?Do you think I played it right?

Man what a way to go out sheesh lol.Oh well,I played a good tourney,and I had the luck to go with the good play,as OMG was I ever running good in that tourney until the last hand.

did i read you jammed 57,000 chips at 800/1600 with A6?

Theres more to it than that,so before you say or react "OMG he shoved A6 suited all in preflop",Can you Please read the situation and my whole entire explanation as to why I shoved?

Also this is not a bad terrible move.It may be borderline wrong,or borderline right,but its not worth a "OMG reaction"

Um, he's a donk. Why couldn't he make that play?

Because of the donk playing pattern.If a all in freak is all in freaking every hand(not that the donk was all in freaking every hand),then a all in freak is not going to start limping in out of the blue.

The same principle applies to the donk mentioned.They called all in preflop almost all the time with any 2 semi marginal cards no matter what,and they shoved every so often once in a while with the same any 2 semi marginal cards.

And so if the donk is playing like that consistently all the time,the donk probably isnt going to stop donking like that and start donk limping KK.

But of course that is not known for sure.But it is a logical,reasonable probability.And Poker is about making the right plays according to pot odds versus probable probabilities,and sometimes on rare occasion those probabilities dont hold up

this is awesome. Mike is actually thinking, albeit poorly, before explaining why he makes his terrible plays.

This thread and yhat other vid has inspired me... I'm playing 0.25 tournies and playing like a complete *******. I've tripled up 4 hands in
