GL Ladies

Gl guys!

gl guys sick billygstar is second in chips. not winning anything the whole year now going run hot in wcoop event. must be nice

how fun is it having Benny Spindler on your left?

damm was that benny spindler.no suprise he go allin with every hand close to bubble. it suck i came in that position

Biggest pot of the tournament so far with 9 left. Was for 1/3 of the total chips in the tournament:

Another 700k pot, this time at the final table.

Biggest pot of the tournament:

At this point nizmo jiz should put MarekW13 on J*** or better... and probably with a decent kicker (king or ace).

I wonder if he did, but thought MarekW13 would put him (nizmo jiz) on a full house and figured MarekW13 would fold without a full house.

I think he should've just shoved preflop or check back on flop. By raising so big preflop, he's effectively only got two bets postflop.
Given the ICM considerations, Marek has to consider folding his hand against a shove preflop.

There's one big stack (stevie) and 2nd to 5th is all bunched up together. Difference between 2nd and 5th is $24,000, see below.



EDIT: Added payouts

stevie444 would probably like to knock out chickensssss, and if not wouldn't mind stealing his blind. And stevie444 probably has a better starting hand four times out of five.

But this turns out to be the fifth time out of five, chickensssss has the better starting hand and prevails.

Bad luck for stevie444.

Meh.

haha buzz come on those nit trols become so obvious that even the worse players on this forum can understand you are trolling (then it no fun anymore).

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

nizmo jiz succeeded in getting heads-up. Don't you want to play AA(74) heads-up?

And then perhaps nizmo jiz misread his opponent when MarekW13 checked after this flop. That's understandable.

But then when MarekW13 calls his 2nd round bet, an alarm siren should go off in nizmo jiz's head. (Perhaps it did, but he thought he might bluff/win).

Perhaps. But nobody could read MarekW13 for trip jacks or better at that point. And if nizmo jiz doesn't bet this flop after MarekW13 checks, then I think AA(74) is hard to play.

nizmo jiz wisely doesn't bet all his chips on the second betting round, but then he throws caution to the wind after MarekW13 calls the second round bet.

As the cards lie, nizmo jiz is destined to get scooped by MarekW13. Even so, he doesn't necessarily have to lose all his chips. After MarekW13 checks on the third betting round, nizmo jiz should cautiously check behind.

Then if MarekW13 bets the river, it's a tough play but nizmo jiz could fold and survive.

Meh.

He does want to get heads-up with AA(74), and he succeeds in doing that.

Hmm. I'm opposed to a pre-flop shove with AA(74) here. I think nizmo jiz played well until the third betting round.

Just my opinion.

Buzz

From Wikipedia:In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

I don't think I've ever trolled on this forum (or any other forum).

I do sometimes offer an alternative point of view - but it's not to sow discord or upset people. It's simply my view of the truth about Omaha-8.

I cannot guarantee I'm always right, but I try to be.

Buzz

so you was serious that you think he was bluffing with aaxx on river and the other guy would fold non fullhouses?
that just insane if you really think that.

I don't think I wrote that. It's not what I was thinking.

I'll go back and re-read what I wrote.

If nizmo jiz correctly reads MarekW13 for trip jacks after this flop, then if he bets his AA(74) on the turn, isn't that a bluff?

I wrote: And I wrote I didn't write that I "think he was bluffing with aaxx on river and the other guy would fold non fullhouses."

In the future, when you disagree with me, please quote what I have written that you disagree with. Thanks.

What do you think about why nizmo jiz bet as he did?

Buzz

Buzz seemingly enjoys giving his opinion in various O8 spots and whether you think he is right or wrong he is a respected senior member of the O8 community so gtfo with your classless aggro and posts as you just come across as a massive clown.

And i'd rather be a nit then play like some people and think whom think they are beasts coz running stupidly over ev whereas according to good cash game players are massive spewtards. The hh seems to be a good example imo.

That's all from me apart from big congrats to chickensssss for a great performance in the NLO8 event.

i do not know if i agree on the 3bet sizing and what his range look like where he doing this with.

the flop smash the 3bet range(because the other guy does not have aaxx in his range and jxxx very unlikely because of preflop action) he is betting 1/3 pot what he would do with his whole range. Co can probably not not defend here enough to let bluffs make massive profit on the cbet but because btn will bet 100% of time and very small he will float decent amount with backdoor stuff or high pairs if he still has them.
Turn comes K btn goes allin he do not wanne let co realise his equity with floats. he walks in jx. ul but can happen some of time on the turn but pot to big to not go allin.

Billy after your stupid post before are you really trying to get fight again? you think it not obvious that you just wanne make fight on this because mods will favor you because you say nice things about buzz?
at least you forum strategy is ass obvious as your play at the table. (do i need to insert clown here to offend you?)

about the above those called good cash game players. you just full of BS. call me names who thinks i am spewtard but is afraid to come and sit and play me.

nope I've said my piece and i don't wish to get banned again for dealing with you although i did not get banned for saying my opinions on you but for having a general slagging match. It's not only buzz you do this too and the way you interact with people here and at the table is laughable.

I keep hearing you say that everyone is scared to play you. Pretty sure that's not the case lol

As i said I won't be replying again no matter what you say to provoke me. I'll just report your post as not to get in a slagging match. A bit like the one in the WCOOP thread for no apparent reason.

Billy's insecurity and envy towards successful cash players is blatantly obvious. Tournaments are a brilliant choice for him, as there he can exploit the weaklings all day long and make a living.

Buzz is a "respected senior member of the O8 community", sure, but he is totally clueless in many NL/PL spots, as everyone can see ITT. He might be very good in limit O8, I can't tell, because I don't play that game nor pay much attention to those threads.

From what I understand, it's OK to point out flaws in someone's thinking on this forum. Explaining things that are completely obvious for you requires lots of patience.
