gotcha, thx. that clears up some longstanding frustration

65 suited really does win more than any other suited cards.


Equity of AA:
versus 87s = 0.769791462
versus 76s = 0.769674953
versus 65s = 0.769439597

56s and 67s will win more than 87s because:
-56s and 67s will win on a 2345x board
-it's easier for 87s to make a straight and lose. 87s will lose on a 9TJQK board this takes away some of its straight power. If 56s or 67s make a straight they can only lose to a flush or better.

87s is better because it will chop less when there is a flush on the board.

How do you build a relationship with the 2+2 community? There isn't much going on in the strat sections except for small stakes nl and small mtt, and I don't play either of these games. PGC is hoppin but I am not good at keeping up with a blog type deal.

I would just like to be a part of this and have some fun. Also, if ever I wanted to sell/buy action I would like to have the rep to do so.

One good way is to find some of the Low Content and Off Topic monthly threads in various forums where you have an interest. Those are about the only places I post anymore when not on the clock posting for work.

What do you want to use them for, and on what scale?

Some poker, maybe a very little gaming, but not much really. Just need a decent laptop for 200 quid.

If you can put it off until you've saved up some more you can get laptops which are more useful for both for a little bit more.

If you're wanting to play hundreds of thousands of hands it may be worth getting an SSD; I don't think you're going to need a hard drive that big but tbf on that price range you can probably only get something like 64GB on an SSD which is ostensibly too small even for a small poker DB.

Also, re: gaming you might want to increase the amount of RAM you have. AFAIK something between 8gb and 32gb is pretty standard for gamers nowadays.

really was not sure where I should post this question so I guess I figured maybe someone here can help me out...

I started a 7 day free trial at dragthebar.com about 5 or 6 days ago but for the last 3 days every time I've tried to visit the site it just tries and tries to load the site and eventually says "This webpage is not available" ( in chrome) or "The connection was reset" (in firefox) even tried to connect with my Ipad but had pretty much the same problem....

can someone please help me cancel my 7 day trial since I can't even connect to the site...


does anyone have an email address for them so I can try to contact someone that way?
thanks

Thats great...I do appreciate you checking that out for me, so since I started a Free 7 day trial on the 8th but the sites been down for the last 3 days does that mean that they are going to charge my bank account $29.99 in like two more days? what kind of B.S. is that!?

also when I check that website I get the message

"It's not just you! http://dragthebear.com looks down from here.

Check another site?:"


I am trying to check dragthebar.com and not dragthebear.com

but when I did type out "dragthebar.com" instead of dragthebear.com I got a message saying that site was also down

can anyone else check dragthebar.com and confirm that it is in fact down?


ok....right before I clicked submit reply I went and checked my email

I sent an email to "support@dragthebar.com" last night as kind of a shot in the dark and I just got a response from a

"Sabrina
DragTheBar.com Support"
saying

"We have canceled your account per your request."



so hopefully that's true bc as sad it is .....that $30 will make my account bounce FML

I don't know about your problem but yes, in my post I wrote "bear" instead of "bar". You can go to http://isup.me and check any site you want.

With the URL spelled correctly the site is still down.

Yes. When expressed as $10PLO or $10NL the $X is 100 times the BB.

How do you calculate the profitability of steel from BT and SB.
(Ex: SB steal 2.5x, how many time BB needs to fold to our raise, to be profitable. this excluding the times he calls and the postflop play when he does.)

risk/(risk+reward)

Assuming bb = 2sb:

SB risks 2 to win 1.5

2/3.5 = 57.1% thus 42.9% MDF

fwiw 3x is a better sizing against people who aren't stupid

Can any math guys show me how to work out the odds of 3 people flopping a flush on a 7 handed table? Busted out of a decent sized field live tourney on the weekend when I flopped second nut flush vs nut flush vs smaller flush a few hands into the final table.

You shouldn't calculate that kind of thing. It doesn't help to know how unlucky you were, it just makes you concentrate on the wrong stuff, which makes you worse. What matters is getting your money in good vs. their ranges.

Certainly falls in the category of dumb questions.. So give me sh** first and then if someone can help me, it would be appreciated..

Trying to post a copy of my stats/graphs from pt4 into appropriate forum.. Yet can't for the life of me figure out how.. FAQs on the forum says under where you write your post is a manage attachment button.. (Yet I can't see it) I can see a shortcut button above where you type that says add image, yet all it does is ask for a http link..

Help will be greatly appreciated please, apologies if this isn't the right forum, but it is a dumb question..

Cheers 😳
