live poker

"I came all the way to the casino, I came to play some poker and gambooool, not sit here folding all night"

Nom.

Watching runner runner. El. Oh. El.

Gemma Arterton though.

Right. You're sitting at a computer now. Do your homework at home.

Also, who cares about the standard raise? The 1/2 guys soul reading you? If your bet makes bad SPR on many flops, the raise is wrong size. Since they're calling, you pick the pot size. If you like the SPR, you did it right. Do you?

sup Doug. I was happy with the maths I did at the time - really even thought in the absence of anything else the maths didnt seemed gambly but not to bad I just was worried if the live factor and playing a tighties meant i should have just let it go.

I probably didnt word it right before but yes I was happy with the raise size this time give or take a few bucks. Sure I could have made it $10 and gotten 6 callers or I could have made it 26 and gotten none.

thanks for your comments, if I'd known i'd actually get constructive comments in a LC thread I wouldnt have posted it here (can't be bothered moving out...i got what I wanted)

About to way tch this kinda drunk

On the brightside - I'm back after a long hiatus.
Time to troll the forums again and the newbies

Can't quite remember, are u in Sydney?

Btw Australia is top of the southern hemisphere medal tally, seriously. 3 > 0

ohai enprinte - long time no see !

Brisbane iirc (?)

Yep Spacebat is right

Brissy <3

Oftentimes the expected SPR is near impossible to calculate as a raise between $10 and $20 will get a random number between 1 and 9 of callers. It is not unusual to raise one hand to $20 and get 6 callers then raise a hand an orbit later to $10 and take down the blinds uncontested. So you just raise it up big and push your pre flop equity edge if you hit - not much different to the approach in LHE.

Again STFU GTFO strat talk.

Anyone else in Sydney? Maybe get a meetup happening at star and all get perma-banned for drunk & disorderly?

+1 they'd probably be doing me a favour if the permabanned me .... Or my upswing might start soon. Lol.

Need to be able to beat 1/2 live before you get that upswing

Positive variance doesn't care. When it is time for a fish to go on a heater, he goes.

Yea, it is a fold.

Just binked the local pub tourney., Won 120 cheeseburgers. Better than breakeven after $8 pints.

Star serves pints? I thought they were $8 schooners :/

Did work out a nice way to get around the no shots rule at star - order neat spirits instead. Apparently plain spirits are no good in a shot glass but if you drink the same quantity from a normal glass they are OK with it.

Congrats on the binkage. Doug was right, when it's time for a fish to go on a heater he goes.

Having been that fish, sometimes life says "welcome to the midstakes". Sometimes you don't realize that rungood comes in the form of getting in fewer than your share of tough spots. It goes the other way where basically every decision is brutal your range vs his, and you're never at the top of yours. Then you hit a stretch where every hand plays itself, and you don't realize how the lower stress makes everything better.

Just signed up to gym/went today. So over it.

Two months in to weight loss challenge. Working out 5 days a week and feeling great. Kerowo is completely crushing it. I think he's missed two days this year. You need a prop bet. Degenerates are gonna degen. It works.

Been at gym 4 days per week for months now. Lost 0 weight but a heap of body fat and big strength gains. Current goal is to hit 15% body fat by mid year which should be easily achievable. Want to work a bit harder on conditioning but otherwise feeling great.

Ill prop something at 10:1 because there is absolutely no chance I follow through with it at lower odds. Just doing cardio and for now but Im eager to get back into lifting again.

I would go for the lifting first and then start working cardio in around 3 months into it. Much easier to make big strength gains while big than when cutting / doing conditioning.
