I'm guessing the board was something like KhQhTh-Td-Jh and the villain had pocket aces with the Ah.
Yeah, all the guesses before were hugely flawed in some way, this is a good post.

I know the result and you are close but instead of giving villain AA you get to give him T8o with the T of relevant suit but they still gave him a shirt apparently :P

My read was based on a howmany river soul read and villains obvious putting of him on KK on the turn. I stand by it.

Also all the obv ones were taken.

I am going to have to respectfully disagree with you. 3/6 online is very beatable. I believe most other limits are beatable if you are decent enough. There are plenty of people looking to gamble away their money to you at every level. This does concur with your thoughts about table selection being important, but it is certainly not all that difficult.

I don't consider myself even near the top echelon of players in this forum and I've been able to beat (at somewhere about .5 to 1.25 BB/100) every level I've tried of LHE online for the past 6 years - from 1/2 to 30/60 averaging about 50,000 hands per year. And I have seen many others who play more regularly make my results look like chump change ...

I'm not saying it's not beatable. I'm saying it's a tougher game than live 20 and that I think a large percentage of the population (perhaps not you) falls between the skill level that can beat one but not the other.

I will say that imo the games on FT 8+ are very tough now. Even the 5 and 3 are fairly tough, I havn't played much 3 but the random times I do I am like wow, these games play almost the same as the higher levels.

Yeah, I am noticing that for sure. And as much as I like FTP and the rakeback, I may be forced to go to the land of supernovas if I want to play higher than 5/10 regularly.

are the stars games supposed to be softer? i havn't played on stars in probably more than year, but a year ago the 10+ games seemed comparable to FT's

Don't know about 6max but full ring games on FT are softer then on PS, there is just not enough of them. Fr 5+ games on PS are beatable with some table selection but unfortunately (to keep up with SNE) table selection is a luxury i do not have.

You're going for SNE? What's your SN?

so your plan is to not beat the games but make SNE? Are you just trying to break even and profit off rakeback?

Probably like 75% of SNEs don't profit before rakeback.

Some of them don't profit after rakeback.

p.s. Superpoker owns my soul. Everytime he cold calls the sb w J2o and takes the c/c c/c donk line when worst card in the deck falls, I wonder whether it was smart to get an apt on the 29th floor with a balcony.

Chinese noodles are intentionally pulled longer than humanly edible; it's supposed to symbolize long life or something. You're supposed to, or at least it's acceptable to, shovel it in your mouth and cut it with your teeth, letting the remainder fall back in the bowl or caught with a spoon.

Something like that...I am solidly beating 3-6, barely beating 5-10 and almost breakeven at 10-20 (like 0.1BB\100)...but it's all fr so it is just mindless mouseclicking...

you should probably put in that 3rd c/r more often.

so how much does that amount to with rb, approx? and how many hand do you have to play/mo?

this one happened a while ago but after losing 100 bets playing omaha online today i thought of it. game is 1/2 hu omaha8 vs crazy mike. hh may be slightly wrong but its close enough to get the point of it.

he opens otb i 3b jjxx, i think jj54. flop j76 we go 4 bets. turn q we go 4 bets. riv 7 i c/r/call3b. lose to 7796. might have been capped pf also bc i vaguely remember the pot being 22 bets exactly maybe it was only 21.

take this as a lesson on how to post a legitimate bad beat, reading about some doofus cc pf with q5o then spiking 2 pair on the turn making some1 want to quit poker just bc he lost to a guy that doesnt know what he actually has put me on tilt. other acceptable forms of bad beats include making kings full against t7o making a royal flush on the river in a white chip game, but that one wasnt even that bad, i actually found it somewhat entertaining despite being stuck >30k at that point.

and idk what u guys r talking about, online poker is like stealing, i just wish i could 6 table 50/100 lhe all day so id never have to go outside.

howmany i think it's pretty obvious you're a little bit better than, say, for example, me....

I agree with this. Has anyone else noticed a recent influx of Eastern Europeans into FT's fr games?
