it's gotta be kelly tho, because if potus said he's doing **** his way from now on, that's gonna be opposite of any semireasonable person and will likely lean on nepotism

Commerce is the spot and The Bike is probably the 2nd spot, but simplicitus will be much closer to Hollywood Park and The Hustler.

Ya, def know commerce the best, but we're staying west side. I used to live in downtown when i played a lot but didn't go to commerce much because slower than online and couldn't multi-table. I should have gone more, as this was still during the glorious time that live players thought online players were not as good.

a few more details,
Tight villain opens 3x in middle position pre and we call on the button (2/5nl, pot is $37 and heads-up going to flop), call villain's $20 c-bet on flop (pot is $77 going to turn), villain bets $40 on turn. Pot is now $117 and we have 1 and a half pot sized bets behind.

Ok, I'll play too.

On the river there is a reasonable chance that all worse hands fold, but on the turn here the villain feels the need to call. A lot of villains c-bet flop, a fair amount follow through a scary turn, hardly any keep it up on the river - so when/if villain folds you probably wouldn't have gotten any more anyway. Raise the turn.

LOL...in the late 80's, when my wife and I were in grad school, we went in one of those enclosed, bendy, water slide tubs. It gave me a huge scratch down one of my arms. I'm glad it didn't get infected.

Shove turn unless against good player, then shove river.

Look, quit trying to get government involved when things like water slides or bridges are being built. Florida bridge collapse and Kansas/Missouri child decapitation are just the price of freedom.

What raise sizes do you like on the turn if you have a lot more behind? (How much more is up to you, maybe you think one line works well at 100bb but not so well with 200bb.)

This play is weird and a bit freaky.

I would probably only min raise if I had the nuts and didn't like the guy, mainly to taunt him. My min raise fancy play in a cash game would be if there were like $25 in the pot and he bet $15, I'd maybe pop it to $30. In a tourney, which was more common for me, my min raise would be like if he bet 10k chips into a 15k pot and he had 20k behind and I had like a made hand, I might min raise for fun, but that would induce a fold more often than a push would.

You were a man with a plan.

I got a poker question too.

Playing online donkament. I raise 2.5x in the HJ, CO jams for 14x, SB cold calls, BB jams for 16x (2bb more), I call, and SB now jams his 70x stack. I didn't understand how this was possible. I thought it was illegal to raise over a jam that is less than a minraise. I know there is a rule like this. What am I missing?

I've never played anywhere that would let you reopen the action under those circumstances. On which site were you playing?

I was never much of a nl cash player but given stack sizes that seems like a jam. I’m down with people posting occasional poker hands itt, hadn’t played in a couple of years but getting into CCGs again made me realize I miss it and the mental space it occupied for me.
