Sound logic... but what happened to AA, QQ type of hands on the river. Why can't he be checking those hands with the intention of check calling?

With his line, BTN reps trip Kings type of hand
CO's check on the turn says 'I'm scared of trip kings'. CO's check on the river says 'I'm still scared of trip kings but my range is still fokking strong'
BTN has 36ss, what exactly is he trying to fold?

And that's just raw hand analysis barring player types and history between them.

cross posting this here from the mid stakes Fr forum with hope some of you may help me do some work and get some **** changed on stars

If you guys want to help me I'm breaking down the rake at 50bb tables to 100bb tables and the total rake paid at various limits at dead times and prime times. It's a lot of work for one guy to do, but if i had like 3-4 other dudes helping me it would be about 20 minutes each. PM me for the spreadsheet I'm using and directions how to do it so we get consistent results. I worked out the numbers right now for 3/6 and came up with some pretty startling results (granted its only a 100 hand sample size, but I did two just to make sure the first one wasn't a fluke and they were with 20 % of the same numbers).

Average Pot Size:
50bb : $54.22 100bb : $36.25
Total Rake Paid over 100 Hands:
50bb : $15.68 100bb : $71.80
bb / 100 Rake:
50bb : $15.68 100bb : 11.97
Total percent more in rake paid at 50bb tables compared to 100bb tables:
31.06%

What's funny is lately everyone has been complaining that win rates have been going down / everyone on long b/e stretches and imo this evidence is pretty damning to as why win rates have had so much lopped off (fish going to 50bb tables where rake is ********s higher).

dunno if im ******ed but why would rake be higher at 50 bb tables vrs 100?

b/c the pot to stack ratio is lower so it facitates more all ins, its the effective rake that is higher btw, not the actual cap on the rake

but since more money is going into the pot with a positive edge wont you have a greater winrate also?

rake is fun !

you get fpps from it

if the game is easier then your edge is dimished. Look at sngs

skill-advantage decreases and card-advantage increases with smaller SPR.
you rarely get the right odds to setmine against fish and every donkey can shove PPs and AK.

Hi

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAPTCHA

probably of interest to some of u guys.

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/54...2010-a-921942/

lol u plo fish... fun game, ez vpp's, just annoying as hell when you lose every all in for an hour, and then start timing out in 5bet pots cus ur 24 tabling.

I'll probably see you a bit there, I just pop in from time to time when holdem games blow across the board

silent_0ne69 - 7kish to win 39-41k

will be a nice month for him if he pulls it off.

hey jizz do u relize ur 2.4k profit can be lost in one sesh?
whats ur stars name

confirmed

I lost $3.6k in a single session of 200nl back in April

the hate continues

played poker for a while having quite good knowledge of brm
having around 5.5k now when im taking shots @ nl200 i have a stoploss of 3BI

I know that 3 BI is nothing but still feels good to me doing it this way since I gain so much confidence @ nl100 after played a nl200 session.

Pretty big skill difference between the limits if you ask me...

And oh the games were supergood @ nl100 tonight

Have $3.5k ftp.

Want $3.5k stars.

I'm trying to get all my remaining $$ off of ftp, so if you want less than $3.5k, that's fine, but please a minimum of $1k.

tables so bad tonight, everyone go out and get drunk instead

Ill take 1k. Can trade when i wake up.

sure. PM me. No rush. If someone offers to take the whole $3.5k before then, then they get first.

done and done

lots of fish flatting 4bets oop today so its a good/bad day.

going to see harry potter though so w/e.

grinding a bunch when I get home -_-

also Marshall, Im super curious to your KK calldown vs me. thoughts? you can post it here or just PM me, just super interesting hand

Lately, hands like this make me question like everything I've ever learned about poker. They get under my skin and they take days to go away.

And even though villain is a Drooler, it's like idk, it's like i just want to fold the river but I know 2p2 would laugh at me for wanting to fold the river, and probably rightly so.

well now isn't that interesting. Seems likely that stars predicted this higher rake. Makes it real unlikely that they'll be taking away the 50bb tables. Sneaky sneaky, stars...

I'll help if I can but I never play the 50bb tables.

Anyone ever been to Jamaica, Montego Bay? any suggestions for hotels, stuff to do etc. My girlfriend and I are gonna go after xmas and trying to plan everything out this weekend

Or any other tropical resorts of some sort for suggestions!
