You see, this hand that guy should never have even seen the flop, and you won helluva pot because of his awful play. Sometimes they will suck out on you with this horrid play, you shouldn't be bitchin and whining when they do, otherwise you would NEVER win the type of pots you posted about above.

ya but when i lose money i am sad

so you guys have said i am way to bad to play 1-2, but no one ever said i shouldnt play 2-4 and when i see uber uber fish there today i play

he has a huge stack but a list 11 deep i doubt i will get in

30 minutes later they tell me my seat is available, he still has 1200 in front so i take my seat

for an hour i dont play a single hand, literally i didnt see a flop, then i raise AKo from mid uber fish is button and he calls everyone else folds, flop KJ5r i bet and he pots it, my notes on him say FOLLOW he is terrible he loves to try and bet his way to every win, check and let him try to barrel you

so i just call

turn 4 i check he checks back

riv 2 i check he bets half pot $90 i call, he has 96o for complete air

next round I raise AJ he calls from sb flop AQ5 he bets out other folds i call turn 2 he checks I check riv 9 he bets out 3/4th pot...... with 85o air

then i make a semi hero fold, other guy i dont know at all raises to 12, i call with AK fish calls bb calls, flop KJ5r raiser checks the fish is button so I check he predictably bets...... and the raiser check raises him to $80.......

so i can like call $80 and then,,,,,, or raise and maybe be vs AA, JJJ, KJ, 555 or maybe AK also, maybe KQ....... so i just lay it down and fish folds

then fish busts and i made $250 by playing 3 hands in an hour and a half

im up 600 on the day and lock it up

45 minutes later i scan the lobby and same fish PLUS the 2's fish from earlier are in 3-6 with an open seat....... fml i gotta put $600 on the table

i blind a way a little and raise fold an AQo to a reg then they leave

but i also opened up some other .50-1 games and got AA vs KK on K hi flop against a min buyer and lost another small pot or two and gave $150 back cuz the fish sat again

You won 55% of a buyin at 2-4 why are you bragging

is every time you post about a win a brag?

Is the frustration of losing a few hands 'you should have won' worse than working a 9-5 in the U.S? **** NO is the answer to that question.

at the moment yes

maybe lol69 can put in a good word for you at the office, get you hired on as an intern. this thread would take on a whole new direction

lets all post like lol69. by this i mean purposely not using capital letters. and leaving periods off of the last sentence

then go work a 9-5

Not so far fetched an idea. Go home, re bond with the folks, save up 5k in about 2 or 3 months come back to Asia with a greater appreciation for it all. Roll is bigger and pressure is less...

If your roll is super comfy though scratch all of the above.

The thought I have is SE Asia should be easy. Nothing at all, besides the weird culture idiosyncrasies (concept of time, laugh at everything etc.) should frustrate you so.

No way he's ever actually going to do that though.

did some of you guys miss how big time i have become?

multi time published authors dont need to move back in with the parents

it really just feels like any time i do anything 'out of the box' i get fuked

set mining is like the biggest part of my game, i call with pairs all the time, never for more than like 7% or 8% of effective stacks, and i fold vs regs when going to be heads up oop most of the time

so i just start up my 2nd session of the day and sit at 1-2, uber fish who was the reason i even sat just got stacked (like fish do) but had $30ish left over, ive played with him many times and that means he is going to be shoving and leaving or doubling up and shoving again

utg raises small, i am to the right of the fish with 4s, i smell the shove coming and fold...... he just calls, other random guy calls flop Q42r utg had KK bb ends up being a new fish i dont know yet that stacks off with KQ.. i wouldnt have stacked the KK as he is a good player, but i woulda got 50 off him and stacked the new fish...... but paying attention and expecting uberfish to do what he usually does...... 99% sure that is the first time all month i have folded a pocket pair in that situation

2 minutes later on other table there is ep raise to 3 in .50-1, a call, and the jackpot chaser that has owned me all week min raises co, i have 33 in the sb and elect to fold oop with good chance the reg ep raiser reraises..... he just calls other calls flop A93r good chance i would have stacked the fish (he bet flop others folded)

i think long term based on situations they are both the right fold, they are folds i basically never make as i look for any spot to set mine, and there were my 2 good chances to get paid with sets today


on a 1-2 table a different fish limps i raise button and aggro semi reg who i dont have much history with raises the sb, my notes say he loves to try and run you over, my hand is pretty weak so i let it go, 2 rounds later folds to me on button i raise AJ and he 3bets me again...... ive never 4bet him ever, i have an A meaning less likely he has AA, he should give my 4bet mad respect but he calls flop Jxx and he check shoves

i pretty much never 4bet, i 4bet a guy that should give me respect and lay down most hands to me, he has one of the few great hands, decides to slow play, gets the right flop (though i would bet anything in 4bet pot) and gets the check raise


so that 1-2 game breaks and now on the other table the biggest fish keeps limp calling me hu oop and i brick every flop, he limps again and i decide to just limp the button this time with 63s....... sb completes (this is a different table than before but oh yay that same sb from other table just sat down at this table and is also sb here for his 2nd hand at the table) and bb checks

flop 875ss

sb bets out full pot and fish min raises, i have open ender and flush draw, sb's bet is big, fish can literally have anything but i think he would slowplay a straight and wouldnt raise a flush draw

i just call cuz i really have no clue what to do and im a bit scared of sb's full pot bet, which i should be because he raises big........ fish shoves..... as long as i have the only spades i am getting a decent price, if my straight draw is live also im getting a great price, we get it in, sb has 96o (nice life) fish has lol QQ (well played) and obv i brick

so if i had raised pre as usual after fish limps he reraises and i lose a small pot

if i had just folded which is also usual for a 63s i lose a small pot

but no...... i play it like that which allows the sb to do the awesome 96o complete and get his dream flop and i obv brick..... i actually got a plus ev price on it even though he had the worst possible hand, but still


this is just kinda what happens any time i do anything, i rarely play suited connectors but if i do call a raise with one when i am in late pos someone behind generally 3bets and i dont see a flop, if i check back a turn on draw heavy board for pot control and to catch a bluff when they brick a terrible riv comes, if i try anything other than the most standard ABC play i get punished like 95% of the time

Hes rich now so doesnt need to, but hes as 'formally uneducated' as a high school dropout, so hes chose his path, i have masters degree from enormous state U and last year, when i returned busto, it took me 2 months to find the worst job ive ever had (not considering the pay) it paid 15$ an hour

as hunter thompson said 'buy the ticket, take the ride'
in fear and loathing he also said something like ENJOY the losses bc its a natural part of gambling

how much is your travel insurance k2?

not even once obv

trying to tone down on 'out of the box' stuff today

fish raises co, i call button with suited connector, i flop flush on A87hhh, fish bets, i raise big fish jams a set turn A

poker sucks

damn

bad day for the chiefs. that won't help your mood.

welcome to 2015. some advanced play there.

how do you deal with a girl that gets far to much pleasure out of teasing you?

i have this girl who i have hooked up with a handful of times over the years, problem is she has said she will come over 20+ times, then the times she doesnt come she keeps telling me she is coming and then laughs about not coming later


like she truly enjoys this, if there is ever a girl to say 'ya come over ill pay the taxi' and then not be home when she gets there so she has to figure a way out of the situation this is the one.......

on the other hand in that scenario she would be sitting outside of my place ready to **** so i would just be hurting myself


but its really annoying, i have cancelled plans because of her, she is quite hot, and i have rushed home to meet her on more than one occasion and had her not show...... i dont really do those things anymore, i will obv take the bird in the hand over her at this point

shouldn't you have learned the first time?

Bluff her, you ignore her for a while, if she tell you that she want to see you, tell her that that you would like too but that you can not for x reasons (work, friends, party, etc). Even if she beg you to see her, be strong and say her no. One thing that the girls hate it's to be ignored, so don't send her messages, no call, nothing for many weeks, show her who's boss.

this thought going through your mind makes you sound like such a stand up guy I love it

ive never done it, highly doubt i ever will....... but planned out teases like she does are deserving imo


so um today is the worst type of poker day, get pocket pairs non stop, see probably 40 flops with them in 5 hours...... only hit 3 sets, with one win $5, with the other two get stacked by draws vs the table fish when you play them aggressively

how i am only down $200 on the day i have zero clue
