Hippies and their crazy pants.

No, you're not caught up. We've yet to hear anything of any moment about the Vegas trip.

There's your opening, now start typing.

Toughest live game is what Mitch means.

Live games vs online games are like male vs female drivers.

ic, so even though the game may be tough at canterbury it is still soft overall because live players pretty much suck.

i am a noob and i appreciate the answers in this thread. reading this thread is definately helping me become a better player.

OK guys I need a new coffee maker for home. I am a huge coffee drinker and my grind and brew machine is wearing out. I am a bit tired of changing the grinds/filter daily and I am wondering if someone has a sweet machine that they could recommend. Links appreciated.

On another note. I just got this camera. It is touch screen and records 30 minutes of HD video. Plugs straight in to imovie on the mac so basically eliminates the need to carry a camcorder completely. Very badass

When you are really, really in a hurry, putting on your socks can be agonizing.

A fun opponent.

15-30 at the Oaks. 6 limpers (!) and I look down in the small blind at two red Kings.

I raise, thus announcing my overpair to the world, all call.

Flop comes: 6, 7, 8 rainbow. Yeeeeesh. Do I bet?

I did. Afterwork Drunk calls, Geezer McProp raises, Chow Fun Eater re-raises.

Do I call, raise, fold? I folded.

Geezer had a set, Chow Fun Eater had a busted draw. The Drunk had two pair.

River a K, I would have won the pot.

Sometimes being a nit is just so nitty.

surf -- my parents gifted me a Keurig and at first I scoffed, but now I can't live without it. Best. Coffeemaker. Ever.

EDIT: To be a bit more specific about what it is, if you're unfamiliar with it -- you don't mess with grounds, filters, pouring, any of that crap. Just put water in the side and you're done. You take their prepared "K-Cups" which are little plastic containers that hold the grounds (there are infinite varieties of these for all flavors/types/strengths) and pop them into the top. Press the 'brew' button and within 30 seconds it drips right into your mug, tasting delicious. Nothing to clean up, just toss the empty K-cup into the trash. It's so fast, so easy, and so much better than every alternative. Sort of like when I got DVR for my TV, I think what was I ever doing without it.

mitch hand 1 isnt even that bad, hand 2 of course is pretty aggressive


so i've logged in about 6 to 8k hands of 25/50 PLO and at one point i was +15k down to -10k, then up to +30k and now back down to -15k.... what should my stop loss be before i finally give up at these stakes? keep in mind, i am sort of teaching myself how to play and haven't even logged in more than 10k hands of PLO higher than 2/4 in my entire life.

considering that the alternative is probably blackjack you should just play until you start winning or go bust

Hand 1 is pretty bad if his plan is to call down after I cap the turn. My limited experience w plo ( highest I have ever played is 10/20) suggests you should expect more of the same until you get real good. I would suggest either learning at smaller stakes or maybe playing 40 8 game on FTP.

.

For the life of me couldn't figure put who you might be talking about, lol.

haha and it's one of those things where once you know the answer you realize it was so obvious and you feel silly for not having known it right away

btw, daver and i will be in vegas the weekend of april 30th and even though cdc can't plan ahead for more than 2 days at a time, he'll be there too. if anyone wants to meet up let me know

i mean if it was live 25/50 plo id just say keep playing theyre all ******ed but online i have no idea if the game are good or terrible. imo move to san diego and play live 25/50 plo.

if it was me i would probably not lose more than 25k which obv is nothing for 5k plo so i probably wouldnt play at all but i guess if i was you id lose like 50k max. 10 buyins still isnt really anything tho.

well the turn put up a diamond draw and some gutshots, so maybe he put you on a big diamond straight draw on the turn and you either have that or a monster. i'm not saying that you'd play a hand like this but maybe he thinks you would. certainly i've convinced myself to make this calldown vs some other players and was pleasantly surprised not to be shown two pair here from time to time.

Yeah I am probably thinking too hard about how he should be playing against my range in this spot rather than what is terrible against the avg online strategy, but I was pretty close to unknown to him here and the only reason I gave him this much action was, bc I only had 2 games going at this point and he had played like 8/10 hands at the table and spewed every street in all of them.

sounds like a good time... count me into the "can't plan ahead for more than 2 days at a time" category

I think he was being sarcastic...

Everyone knew it right away.

You don't even have to thank me later.

Get the Flavia Fusion Deluxe. Coffee comes in individual packets and it's better than Star Bucks. There's no waste and the wife can brew her own flavor which takes about 30 seconds.

One cup at a time. Perfect every time. PM for suggestions as to which flavors to order.

I'm as serious as your Grandma's heart attack.

surf, don't let the fact that you guys are both doctors fool you. This guy is just trying to pass off a cheap rip-off of Keurig onto you.

i think my jaw actually dropped at the conclusion of this hand today.

UTG limps, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls, i raise TcT, everyone else folds and they both call.

flop Jc3c7c

UTG donks, UTG+2 calls, i raise, UTG 3bets, UTG+2 folds, i call

turn 9

UTG bets, i call

river Qc

UTG checks, i bet thinking im making an easy valuebet but apparently i was bluffing, UTG then proceeds to fold Kc4c faceup

lol idk how i garnered that much respect. i sat there dumbfounded as this pot was being pushed my way not being able to believe what actually just happened. what rational person would ever fold that sort of hand here? especially against me.

Where was it and what stakes? Pretty amazing -- I've seen that at, like, the Bike 3/6 games.

It must have taken all the will power in the world not to show your hand.

it was lowstakes (4/8 halfkill at suncoast in vegas) so the potsize was pretty insignificant. i was just really suprised like doesnt everyone at this level begrudgingly call down like whatever its just $8?

yah i didnt show. i didnt want to make the guy feel any worse. let him believe what he wants to believe. i did send a text several hands later just to let someone know though.
