The secret to live poker is figuring out the correct amount of alcohol to consume so that the retawds don't bug you, yet you're still functional enough to throw chips into the pot.

<-- I almost never drink any alcohol anymore for the last 2 years now.
<-- Never drink alcohol while playing poker (one time blackout played 100NL HU poker and miracously ended up +100 the next morning not knowing how & why (back when I was a 25NL player).

oh baby!! this is what I like to hear, 24 hours til I get to see it!

So if you were Baumann, on a scale of mildly upset to murderous rage, how mad would you be?

3bet jam 70bbs vs KK
muck hand..mid hand
only lose 2bbs
profit???

tournaments are so stupid

You're stupid. Now get on Stars and go see Batman - They are both epic

why are you planning this...what if the games get bad 10 hrs in?

lol. Tuesday night I was playing and this young guy comes into the room and hovers over the table. he just had some sort of look to him I didn't like. Then he makes a comment about not liking 1/2nl (only game spread at my casino), cause it's too small.

I tell the dealer that that guy will lag it up when he sits and I'm 3betting him first hand. Dealer asks which guy, and I say the guy with the purse. He had a purse!

So, first hand after he finally gets a seat and buys in 60bbs lol (1/2's too small). I actually wasn't paying much attention and ****ing around, so I had blind raised a straddle utg+1 to $8. So, he makes it $20 his first hand, folds, I call with 75s.

flop TT8
checks through

turn 9
checks througth

river 5
check, He bets $30, snap call...MHIG

He played some more hands badly till he open shoves $64, gets called in two spots, loses and leaves after his one 60bb bullet in a game too small for him.

Bc I've never done it before and I'm just a kid with a dream . Plus it's commerce there will be multiple games

when I first started playing I used to have to fly from adelaide to melbourne to be able to play 2/5 and I'd go for a week or so and stay in backpackers, but I'd never book accom for the first or last night, so I'd arrive at 8pm and play through until 2pm check in the next day and on the way out, check out at 10am and play through to 7am flight home. Was lots of fun I think most I played was 20 hours though...

haha Devin nice story :d yeah our 2/2 plays like a 400NL game though. Max buyin is 400 euro.

similar story/tactic for a weekend in vegas. fly in after work on Friday, play poker all night pounding free redbulls at the table. check in at the Wynn at the poker room rate, sleep all day play poker all night an check out just in time for your flight. I you're really on a budget, sleep in the spa but it's only opened during the day

lmfao sick saving tactics itt

Ever have one of those hands where you are so close to a milestone (like having an even $k or being up just over a certain amount on a day) and you just make awful plays because you are chasing that stupid amount?

that's what 8% feels like.

and no, no monetary value makes a decision. I guess if I'm down 10k I'll feel like quitting a good game.

also, I've developed the worst habbits or 6max from playing so much HU, that hand seems more standard(except Pre lol, what's with the huge raise size)

That's the part I mean - I was like $60 away from hitting +2k on the day so I just wanted the fold and I would have had it lol.

I used to have that 'problem', but I don't care anymore haha.

I never check results mid-session, although I know some people do... I think its a pretty fish move

I'm def real bad at thinking about it too much, but don't think I change decisions because of it...

posting for ftp regs bumppp..


Villian is very active playing 30/26 14 3bet and 89cbet/50% fold2cbet/14%CR over like 800 hands or so

Calling might even be +ev but shoving is waaaaaaayyyy better, goodluck calling with 7x

Hand #2 i was a bit confused as its kind of weird

Villain actively 3bet bluffs UTG opens but does get sticky in 4bet spots and peels wide often pre and post. Guess that's the give and take of 4bet bluffing here but its a pretty nutted spot to do so, maybe should have AJ/AQ only for removal effects...but the dynamic seemed good and my image clean.
28/21/ 9% 3bet doesn't really barrel much at all when check too, bet in postion in 3bet pot is 32%(which is horrible) hence why i thought just getting hero'd by some hand had a higher likelyhood than his flop floats shoving turn, not to mention he can check back whatever XXd hand he has and realize his equity. But shoving turn seems to let him play pretty well against me?

Thoughts on flop and turn are welcome

sorry couldnt get converter to work on this one

Try playing a month without ever looking at your cashier
Assuming you are rolled enough to not accidentally busto and don't chase fish up the ladder a ton it's pretty helpfull

nice hand to post

at first glance i was like uhhhhhhhhh highish variance, looks like 7x all day. then you made me think about it a bit more and it makes decent sense

FINISHED MY THESIS AND FILED IT IN TODAY. 1 more month and I'm mother****ing free with 2 degrees booom bitch

Untill you decide to get a PhD...back in shackles yo :P

Still remember when I turned in my diploma thesis. Man that was such a good day. I was pretty much high on whatever neurotransmitters are responsible for that **** all day lol.
