omg this is hilarious
here's a couple of pics from last year, that thing with a volleyball net was our 'ship'.



****ed up pics but too lazy to rotate and re-upload so whatever

fsn that looks absolutely fcuking sick!

-7 BI day, some of it monkey tilt because Stars f'n hates me. In a 1k hand session I was not dealt a pair bigger than JJ, missed every flop with AK and hit one set - which would have been set over set, only the board ran off a four flush and I only got a fraction of his stack. Shipped with the NFD vs a Ten high flush draw, he binked a pair.

Having to game select so much because every table is full of the same 22/19/10% 3bet regs is driving me out of my mind as well.

whodat - I've watched like 3/4 of Treme. It's on demand still. Thanks for reminding me about it. A lot slower than the Wire, but a very interesting show.

except they end up here...

Wow all those month of running under EV are finally coming back to me.

inb4 EPIC EPIC downswing to end all downswings.

absolutely fine. checking turn is bad

its close... betting isnt terrible... id rather bet the river though than the turn

Brian, since you just moved down, can you point some big differences you noticed between the two stakes ?

very weak tight regulars who can't stand to be punched in the mouth. really bad fish

Only if you are happy calling a jam.

I would check

never sure what to do with small PP in these tournaments...

3bet jam over people...

If you are deep enough...setmine.


Midpairs are trickier

How drunk were you when you took the last 2?

i mean in terms of opening them, fold 22-44 from ep?

Thats a standard even for FR cash.

Ya, just fold unless the table is insanely soft (usually multiway pots, no raises, everyone limps etc)

depends how deep you are

small pocket pairs are unprofitable to play utg for 99.999999% of players¹
