13k hands is a decent size for h/u but not huge. When Phil Galfond played Justin Smith h/u I think they ended up both mutually quitting b/c they were really really close to skill. There is a link to there thread and where Aejones crushes Brykenny where at the end of that thread boosted J said they had swings of 150k playing 25/50 vs Jman in single sessions and still ended up even at the end.

Quoting BalugaWhale

"Basically, the whole point of the "Baluga theorem", as I see it, is to strongly reevaluate one-pair hands facing a turn raise.

A few notes to remember-
turn checkraises are more frightening than turn raise"

I am a winning player at the limit of $50 in the game of No Limit Hold Em

AQ, imo

This is pretty much exactly the music my wife loves. She is a huge PJ fan and product of the 90's. I like 90's stuff (read: grunge/alternative) but not as much as her. Ten is a great album, one of the best rock albums of the 90's, if not THE best, imo.

However, 90's Metallica is so <<<<< then 80's Metallica. I don't even really think its a matter of skill either I think its a matter of Cliff dying. Not their fault, they rebounded fairly well all things considered (as he was their best songwriter)

Agree with pretty much all of this. 80's had a lot of terrible pop and hair metal and stuff but so does every genre. You can't tell me the late 90's wasn't a huge embarrassment.

RATM self-titled is a great album. listening to it just makes me want to punch someone in the face

lol, this.

My overall thought is that the amount of good music out there doesn't change as much as you think it does. Its what is popular in the radio, and what is accessible for everyone and thus perceived to be the definitive music of the time. That music can get ****ty really easy. Like right now. In the 70's they played good stuff on the radio. In the 80's they played **** on the radio. Improvement in the 90's, and then back to **** in the 00's.

Therefore, hope for 2010's ? Maybe...

this deep into 2 people? i went $5 like lumileijona said (but then i played the flop and turn horribly). still won but played horribly. just wasn't sure how big i should be 3betting 200deep

Didn't see stacks. $5 is better.


I play good though right?

nh I play it the same

The 70's had disco.

The 80's had hair bands.

The 90's had Ace of Base

The 00's had boy bands.

The bottom line is that Record companies keep finding a way to shove cheap easily produced drivel down people's throats.

Thank god bands have started to figure out they don't need them any more.

do you have a valuerange here
