Actually this does make sense. It just seemed bad at the time to be donking the most obvious bluff card into a a guy who just 3bet our flop bet and opened UTG. Not to mention he MAY be taking this line with AK/AQdd and we value own ourselves. I figured if it gets checked through on the turn it narrows his range and I'd pick up some fold equity on the river as my turn check looks like a micros player getting there and then going for value on the river. I honestly would take a very similar line with alot of my value range here hence why I don't think his river call is actually +ev if I bet correctly. I think if I paid more attention to bet sizing throughout the hand I could of gotten a fold. That said it's micros and he has an overpair so I was probably once again being far too optimistic.

BTW, whoever was at a table I joined asked if I was Blane from 2+2 and said I was the man and to keep it up then left the table. Hang around next time! I know I had position on you but I'm not THAT good and you left a game with 2 huge fish playing deep (both of which I ran terribad against, whoever you were you jinxed me!). I appreciated the comment though mystery person.

I enjoy barracuda tbh, not that fatty yo

Hey Guyz I'm like 5 BI at 5nl and 1.5 at 10nl. Things are turning around. Heads up with a drooler!

First one after only 17 hands. He's running 95/35/7AF.

Next hand I found myself getting into with him was a sticky spot. We were deep but I'd seen him getting it in with MP and BP and sucking out previously which is how he built his stack. He's running 94/67/7.83AF 50% 3B (of 8) and he's never folded to 11 3bets.

Almost straight after I pick up this hand and just wanna get it in with history of seeing him shove any two cards preflop.

He even apologised to me after that. I said 'no problem, it was all your money in the first place'. Some other donk managed to stack him before he left.

More bluffing @ 2NL

I'm 550 VPP's from GS - I can't be screwed to grind this - I'm just going to play SnG's and have some fun

The $2.20 180 Man's are money printers - But you'll need to have the time/put in the volume/run good to make a decent amount.

Deposited $600 on FTP on tuesday to try and clear it at Rush, starting at 5nl. Just about to unlock my first $20 bonus after 7000 hands, pretty sweet stuff.

Here is a good reason not to care about your red line, soon as i stopped caring i finally started winning.

I'm hoping you're moving up to help clear the bonus faster? clearing it at 5nl must be brutal

Only 240,000 hands to clear the $600 bonus at 5nl rush!
If i win at a conservative 1 buyin per 1,000 hands, that's $1800 for 240hours work.

Pretty sad hourly, guess i will move up once i am up 20 buyins!

It might take about half that @ 10nl. Then your hourly would look a lot better, and you could actually achieve it within the given time frame lol

What is the timeframe to clear the FTP bonus? I'm yet to deposit - can do it in 3 instalments right tho?

Not sure if they do it like PS, but if it's the same, then ya.

Ice: What's with this warning, I don't get it? What do they mean by the menu on the left?

Fake Archive link Thread - this link is safe to click obv, it's warning about other links in other threads.

GG enprinte. I couldn't overcome my RL upswing in sex with poker to win. I prob would of played even less without the bet though so still kinda +ev.

Whewww I'm having a great day so far. Put in 1.7k hands and I'm up close to 2 BIs, and that's after dropping 1.5 BIs when I started my day. I took a bad beat in a BvB hand when I had AA and got it aipf v. KJs and he flopped 2 pair.

After that I ran great. At the same time I flopped 2 sets (one in a 3bet pot, one in a multi way pot) and won a stack in each. Then I just won a bunch of small pots, like 30bb an less to get up too $297.xx Plus I have to purchase that $6 micromania by tomo.

I also picked up like 125vpp today, to leave me 230vpp short of that $50 Stellar. I'll come back and play later on today to see if I can't get some more $ and vpps.

btw the fish are out today @ 10nl. I took a bad beat at the end of my session by some donk who 4bet me after I limped AA utg, and then 3bet him. He had 45 and flopped a straight lol. Lucky me he was only ~50bb deep.

Np - Recieved it on stars.

Happy to do a smaller 20k hand bet next month if people are interested.

What's the dealio on the prob bet then?

I'll do 2-1 about me hitting 10k hands next month on bodog/rpm... my 10 to someone's 5. I won't be starting until aug. 10th....class starts the 19th.. I 4 table max.. and the most number of non-rush hands ive put in during a month is like 11k. First one to quote me and say booked has my action.

Booked - If you accept stars/ftp

Yep.. if I lose, thats where i'll be shipping from.

Just to be clear:

- My 10 to your 5
- 10k cash hands, only bodog/rpm hands count
- Starts tuesday aug. 10 at midnight and goes until aug 31st at 11:59pm eastern time.


Should be solid motivation...hoping to have a monster month at 25nl.

BR: $135

Every time I get my money in, it's bad. $25 down playing 2PLO8 and cap 5PLO8 without a winning day in the last few.

I must not whine, I must not whine, I must not whine, I must not whine, I must not whine.

I will take their monies.

had a good session although i got stacked by a wierd river shove where i thought i was good so brought my winrate for the session from 10-7.5 bb/100... ehh up 5bi's this session woot me 3500 hands

br: $125.52

saturday and sunday im putting in 10k hands each and im hoping for $150 to start august and 5nl with
