Shortstacking ratholers who try to defend what they do crack me up.

Just do it and shut up about it and stop trying to defend urself. There is nothing to be gained by arguing ur points in 2p2 strategy forums.

qu4ck3rs is a visionary.

i think this is a pretty standard spot, but i was taking a shot at 1/2 so im unsure if i played it right, villain had just sat down.....

lol website defacements are so 90s

both are fine.

the qu4ck 4tt4ck is going to deface your avatar.

Ugh..What an ugly board that is. Im a pussy and would muck it. There really isn't much that you are beating on that board. So many two pair combos/sets have you crushed, and the best case is you're up against a FD. Id make a note of this hand against him and move on.

from the 2008 goals thread, since it's kinda off topic for that thread:

care to share? give us a little advance preview of your well post =)

thanks for the responses....i ended up raising and getting it in, he had top set. i thought it was pretty close at the time, but i just stoved a range fairly wide range:

Hand 0: 22.785% 22.16% 00.62% 8777 246.00 { QcQh }
Hand 1: 77.215% 76.59% 00.62% 30331 246.00 { TT-77, AsQs, AsJs, AsTs, QsTs, JTs, T8s, 98s, JTo }

and it doesnt look close at all. lame, i always get too aggro when taking a shot. also, after about 30 hands this villains stats were 15/4/3 (lol)

Including JTo there and not a bunch of hands like T9o is really dishonest imo.

ime people think JTo is a lot stronger than T9o (broadway cards yo!) and are more likely to call raises w/ it.

edit: if you want, make a range for this unknown, it will probs be more accurate than mine as i lost the hand

Lol, I'm not worthy for a well post. Tbh, I've watched a lot of good videos lately and have just been reading 2+2. I still don't KNOW why some of the things are good that I do, but at least I know they ARE. Mainly, I can read hands better, don't tilt as much, don't do too many spewy moves, and recognize better spots for 3betting/squeezing/4bet bluffing/etc....that right there will skyrocket your winrate. Running good helps too

It is wierd cuz it did happen all of a sudden. My pfr/vpip/wwsf literally shot up in one session and I haven't looked back so far

did you get that poker mindset book in the end?

viral web marketing is so 00s

i dont want to give it all away, but there is a lot to this if you look around

I got the pokermindset book, but have only read like 10 pages

lol, because poker players are going to eagerly band together to solve the mystery like it's the ****ing Halo 2 launch again?

That actually makes a lot of sense now that I go back and read the qu4ck3rs stuff again, but lol at using that as marketing.

can you think of a specific example of a play/move/hand/situation that you've recently realized "aha! i should/shouldn't do THAT"?

hey i just ordered that, how is it so far?

Actually, it seems pretty cool if you have any trouble w/ tilt. Definitely worthy imo. I would read it but have a hard time reading poker books these days.

you're such a negative nancy, i dont think i will let you on my puzzle solving team

Hey, on the bright side I'm many valuable contributors to the 2+2 community in the Zoo and NVG would be happy to assist you with your puzzle solving quest

Much for Mr. 10/9. Not sure he even has the odds once I 5bet shove. This is essentially without history.

anyone been messing around with holdem manager? comparing myself to some big winners, i noticed a couple things, but i'm not sure what they mean.

1) my turn cbet% is WAY higher. like 60% vs 31-37%. does this mean that i double barrel too much? or that i delayed cbet too much? (flop cbet % is about the same, 71%) wasn't shizzle just in here telling us we need to double barrel a lot more? lol

2) my river fold vs cbet is way lower. 16% vs 43-50%. i guess this means i'm a cs on the river, but i'm perplexed because my flop & turn fold vs cbet are about the same. are good players really making a habit of calling two streets and then folding the river? or am i misinterpreting this?
