My home game has a pretty crappy structure, basically 50NL but the most anyone ever buys in for is $30 (60BB). Anyways, the last hand of the night I had about a $60 stack after rebuying for $30 more after my TT missed the river on a Tx96 board (he had 87...doh). 4-handed, I'm dealt JdJs OTB and make it $2, SB (loose and somewhat aggressive player calls). Flop is 8x9s4s. SB bets $4, I raise to $14 and he pushes for $24 more. At this point my heart was pounding as I had to consider calling TWENTY FOUR WHOLE DOLLARS!!! Thought it through - SB has a mindset of "double up or go home" sometimes so I ended up making the call after about 2 minutes of deliberating. He flips over 66, turn Ts giving him 4 outs, river 9c. Hooray. It's funny how this is nothing at 100NL, but it's a HUGE pot in a home game.
That's funny the structure of my home game is exactly the same. .25/.50 blinds but I get dirty looks if I buyin for more than 20. I cannot remember the last time I lost at that game.

pretty funny cause our home game is exact same also

What's great is that we used to play "double chip value" because running no one wanted $.10 chips. So you got double of what you bought in for and blinds were .25/.50. Most people bought in for $15-$20 (60-80BB) so stacks were actually deeper than now where people buy in for $20-$30 (40-60BB). The guy who runs it has the reasoning that since we are making more money now we don't need to double the chip totals...

Highlight of the game was my buddy who plays way too loose and bluffs too often raised one limper in the CO (5-handed) and 4-bet pushed over re-raise from the limper (a tight player)...with AJs. Gotta love home games.

Hai Rapid.

Oh, hai speedle.

Also, I've learned a ton from the wells that I've read, so I'd also be interested in you doing a well, Coordi.
07-16-2008 , 01:25 PM
Not to be arrogant (pats self on back), but would anyone be interested if I did a well after everyone else goes?

I've been around 2+2 for a while and tend to post in spurts...I think people (and myself)are suprised I have so many posts since I hop all over the place (MTT, Sporting Events, Full Ring).

Let me know what you peeps think.

Mike Kelly is busto! lol

But really, I'm sorry you lost ur roll.
07-16-2008 , 01:27 PM
Seeing as how I don't know either you or Coordi and you guys don't know me, I'm not sure how far my vote for you guys to do a well is going to go. Regardless...

I wells.



/so, yes, I'd like to see you do one, too.

I knew that guy was a fraud.

on another note. That stars buddy list AHK thing is seriously positive life EV. I love going through my list and seeing fish pop up and then clicking their table to see that they have gone from 200NL to play money.

If you use it as your avatar on Stars, you need to run about 6/3/5 because you have absolutely no fold equity whatsover.

Don't ask me how I know that

Ty for avatar and I will use it on Stars :P And I think 6/3 style would be fun.
07-16-2008 , 05:02 PM
if stars was as great as everybody says it is, they would offer us $ for the tech problems they just had. why? because i blew $150 playing $22 turbo HU sng's (1/8 FTW...variance can fondle my ballsack imo...or maybe i just suck at HU turbo SNGs/poker in general). and now things are working but they dont alert you to this. for all they know, i coulda gone on a year long mormon mission thinking the site would never restore itself back to fully functioning.

Seriously, forum split is a huge improvement.

Bring on the wells.
