Also, I'm very surprised you laid down the flush draw on the K44 board. I tried to give enough room for you to shove flush draws, but it was probably a little too transparent, I guess.

I wasn't positive you'd fold a Q, but I had T high, and you can show up with a broadway gutshot sometimes too.

The A9 on the 66833 (was it 3s that paired turn and river? something like that I think) board, where you flopped 3 sixes, I know you said laying down the A to the river bet is always bad, but I really did almost lay it down. Sort of an "I know that you know that I know that..." situation, where I know that you know that I can show up with an A, as well as some 8s (not too many though), and that I'm very likely to call with either. I ended up going one level too far there, just because it's so tough for you to actually have a hand.
As I said at the time, against a random I'm snapping the first hand you listed all day and feeling great about it. I just mistakenly thought you wouldn't think I would lay down a Q, and consequently, if you were to bluff, for it to be smaller, since I basically either have it and am going to call or don't (which follows that your value bets should be bigger). I still don't feel bad about the fold against a good player such as yourself.

You really cannot fold A hi on the river there because my line is so weak.I believe the board was 66282 and I'm repping such a narrow value range, but more importantly you can have a very wide one so it's correct for me to bluff a decent amount. Add to the fact that it seems unlikely I'm betting that much with A hi myself and it's like, well, either its a strong thin value bet, a deceptive monster, or one of his no showdown value hands that he had to c-bet on the flop still has no showdown value.

will my degeneracy be off the scale if right in the middle of emergency diarrhea i jump off the toilet and race across the room to play a hand if i see good cards?
I think you should resort to flipping with BBVers rather than the sup.turbos.. They will tilt you more if you lose.. trust me

I considered all three options tbh but really didn't feel like you were ****ing with me, so shoving is then terrible as I'm in really bad shape against your value range (which includes a few bigger heart draws), and I wasn't getting a good enough price to peel one card when I knew that was all I was going to get (plus how transparent it looks playing it OOP), so I felt it was a pretty clear fold. Wish I would have just c/c and stacked you when the heart came
05-21-2009 , 02:44 PM
Yeah, I thought you might lay down a Q if *and only if* I repped an A to near-perfection. Which meant I had to bet bigger, so I just made the same bet I would have made with Ax obviously.

It was definitely a little bit of a gamble anyway, because I have to think that you'll believe I'll check an ace on the turn, which I absolutely would not do against most people, but I would have done so against you.

Pretty thin bluff overall, but yeah, definitely no reason to feel bad about laying down there.

The heart was totally coming.

What you don't realize though is that it was going to be the 6 to fill me up.



haha, actually you might have had the 6, since you said you had a baby flush draw.

Yep, vwp on your part. Felt like it was giving you too much credit to expect you to make a bluff with betsizing inoptimal in your normal games but optimal against me, and felt like you wouldn't give me enough credit to think enough and make an unusual play folding the Q there. Tip of the cap and as I guess making that play was a way of you acknowledging that you think I'm solid (as you take my money), so thanks?

75hh btw.
05-21-2009 , 02:58 PM
If you ever want to play and record both sides and swap vids, I'd definitely be game for that.

Other than that, I'd appreciate it if you don't sit me too often. I don't mind an occasional game for fun and interest value (and I think it's definitely important to play against good players occasionally), but I really prefer my opponents to be ******ed.

lol

Obv. I like money way too much to play 2+2 regs consistently. I do like the occasional fun/interest value game and when the lobby is clogged and I want to start getting action sometimes I like to break it up a bit, but you don't have to worry about me playing you a lot. I much prefer the droolers.

Paracetamol is the nuts and lets you read people's minds!!

Got the flu, and taking meds, but for some reason I'm picking off some insane bluffs tonight. Not sure if it's meds induced spew, or if I'm psychic tonight...but Paracetamol makes me feel good

---Everybody wants to play 3+ HU tables at a time. Learning nothing, stagnating their progress and making $0.80/game with a 4% ROI playing ridiculous volume to grind out some money---

This isn't the way forward. All i see are these poser 'regs' who know nothing about learning or playing poker at all. 4 tabling for $.60/game is not poker.

People have got to get back to single tabling and learning the game. Moving up through stakes and really enjoying their poker.

This isn't directed at anyone in particular and i know it doesn't apply to everyone/anyone in these forums, i'm just fed up with 2nd rate 'regs' registering for 4+ tables at a time thinking they're on to something.

There's a million other things along these lines that **** me off but meh.

SADFACE: I single table with a 4% roi and make about 50cent a game.

I do not, however, put in ridiculous volume, so I got that going for me.

If you were truly baller Primo, you would have aimed for a 386k house.
05-21-2009 , 06:46 PM
On a lighter note

has anyone read either 'Theory of Poker' or 'No-LimitHold 'Em Theory and Practice'

I'm torn between which one to get as i think they both cover fundamentals so i don't really want to buy 2 seperate books.

Would they add anything to a hu sng'ers game anyways do you guys think? all i can imagine is a lot of limit/FR/live advice and lots of math that isn't related to hu sng's

Lol, just tested out an uber agressive game..

was 3-betting like 80% OOP..
05-21-2009 , 07:58 PM
lol turbo speed games are so awesome imo; they attract biggest droolers
key part is: don't fold showdown hands
