He reloaded for another $50 after that last hand but I quit him because it was getting to the point where I was/am expecting an email from the fraud department tommorrow. I've watched him play some other people in the same manner since them and has actually turned that $50 into $250 at this very moment. Hopefully I won't be suspected of being in on it if he is just some guy that hacked into some other guy's account.

Maybe he's a legit player who just redefined the term mega-monkey-tilt after I called him down with second pair in those first two hands.

Man what a douchebag.

5/10/2007 12:01:55 AM

I thought you were playing 2-4?

5/10/2007 6:48:07 AM

HU plays higher than 6max, I can win or lose plenty at 1/2.

I even slummed it up at .5/1 late last night because I wasn't liking the regular to fish ratio at the 2/4 tables that were running. I was also feeling a little tired and out of it, but I felt like gambling so .5/1 was fine for that.

I played some 5/10 limit razz on monday when I got done with 2/4 for the night. And I'm always good for a couple 50-200 HU sitngos a week. I'm versatile man.

5/10/2007 6:10:49 PM

Just moved to Raleigh recently. Is there a bar or pub around here that has tournaments or is anyone holding a game soon?

5/10/2007 7:56:53 PM

Didn't you bomb at your previous HU tourney experience?

5/10/2007 8:08:54 PM

I lost money for the first 100, but I'm back in the black now.

5/10/2007 8:36:24 PM

Like that acdc song?

5/10/2007 9:04:13 PM

Just a question.

Seeing as how poker on teh internet is now illegal.....

Have there been any cases of mail from a certain organization (like Bodog) being filtered at the post office? Or checks from that organization being not accepted or reported to the government when cashed?

I know that's probably far-fetched, but they did pass a law. I didn't know how far they intended on enforcing it.

5/11/2007 10:44:32 AM

i got mine from bodog through western union.

you can still play, they just charge your credit card under the name "Online Entertainment Org"
or some other made up name

5/11/2007 10:53:13 AM

Eugh. I'm still not too comfortable with the idea of checks. I miss neteller.

5/11/2007 11:00:03 AM

Did you request Western Union, or is that just how they sent it by default?

Yeah Neteller was the Shiznit.

5/11/2007 11:02:15 AM

Did you enjoy your life insurance thread?

5/11/2007 11:04:56 AM

Haha yeah it was good until you and that other guy gayed it all up. But I got the info I wanted.

5/11/2007 11:06:45 AM

Whole = Bad

Poker itself is not illegal on the internet. The law that was passed only dealt with US banks and credit card companies interacting with the gambling sites. But of course, as we have seen, there are multiple ways around this which is why its still easy to get money on and off poker sites.

^^Jesus Christ, talk about chasing.

5/12/2007 4:41:16 PM

So I cashed out of Bodog on the 27th of April, still yet to see a check.

But on the bright side, I noticed 30 cents in my account, so I sat down at a .05/.10 table and made it up to $1.26, just enough to clear the rake for the lowest tourney available, a $1 +.20 45 person tournament. Despite numerous suckouts, I managed to place 3rd, so my bankroll sits at $7.48, an improvement of 25 times the original amount.

I know this run can't continue, so I am trying to decide whether to play in a $5 tournament, sit at a cash game, or bet on sports. Decisions, decisions.

More to come, just keep refreshing.

5/12/2007 7:05:59 PM

It can take 2 or 3 weeks to get a check from some sites. I have never gotten one from Bodog, but I know SportsInteraction takes around 2 weeks.

5/12/2007 7:25:17 PM

It's rigged Jim. You'll never receieve any check.

5/13/2007 12:51:07 AM

ok tww poker retards, mongoloids, and gurus alike

there was a hand a few horus ago at ceasers that is bothering me bad

bad enough that i stood up, walked around 3 casinos, then said fuck it and drove home.

so, 2/5 at ceasers, the game is wicked lagggggggg

it's got me, the gus hansen of new jersey, a wildly aggro rich dude, a hardcore chaser who's dumped 5k $200 at a time, and a few top pair ballhuggers.

a good lineup

im sitting with $1650, and 4 people have me covered

we've got great position on the lags, and the people to my immediate left are pretty tight passive.. which for me is a-ok

ive pulled several massive bet semibluffs on draws on weird steal plays that ive grown accustomed to

and the table gives me about ZERO credit for shit

which, i also like

ive shown 3 high twice on massive bets, for specific reasons, relating to not only image, but future setups.

the relavent characters in this hand, oddly enough, do not include any of the megalags.

on the button, iwth JdTd.

for the last 4 hours this is a hand that is a 100% raising hand... so, mixing it up a bit.

4 limpers, limp as well

tight old fellow that ive played with before, and has the explicit capacity to get off hands, but makes great reads is in the bb and raises to $35.

seat two calls, who has shown a very strange history throughout the night.

he's stuck hard, but the hands he's won, have been basically face up.

ive correctly read nearly every hand he's shown down, except for a few plays.

he's the top pair nutball that cant seem to get off of it.

he's stacked off twice with AJ/AT type hands on majorly coordinated boards in mulitway pots where he's taking the RR'ing lead... the two times of issue, he was in the lurch between two obvioulsy massive hands... against tptk with tpJkicker vs bottom set. things of the like... he's RR'd massive with a pair of aces on several occasions, on at best speculative spots.

so anyways, he's sitting with ~$740.

had limped utg+1 and then calls the raise.

mr. retardo who has stacked off no less than 7 times with trash calls as well.

this could meann as best as anything, as worse as T4o. for real.

pretty tight younger guy calls... he's so quiet that he's basically unnoticeable... completely stagnant at a table where chips are flying around like a locust swarm.

megamegamega lag to my right folded after limping, which was astounding... he was on the tail end of a 80 hour session... he was so fucking fun to play with, ill tell a story that him and i got into a sack war earlier on.... and he played me for a fool his stack had run from $900 when i sat, to $1800, down to $175, now, currently at $3200...

anyways... i call

sb who had completed, comes along for the ride.

so, 5 ways for $180 or so in the pot.

flop comes Ad Qd 4d

sb checks,

bb leads for $40.

tp ball huggger calls.

i throw it up to $130

sb goes into the tank.... oddly enough... (come to find out later, dude man gave me the credit enough to be contemplating pushing over my raise here with Ac7d )

bb dumps quick (AQ)

tp weirdo (who had established all throughout the night that he likes to bet in weird increments... which, i kinda like... every pfr he made was $21.. which in a game where everone has very few $1 chips, it's a real pain in the ass.... but hilarious when he c-bets to $66) thinks, and thinks, and thinks

raises to $333.

ok wtf

he doesnt have a set of aces. thats guaranteed. he's had aces twice, and you could basically see a boner twiddlin' the cup holder in front of him both times.

set of queens doesnt make sense either... he'd have open raised pre... completly incapable of a limp raise, or doing something weird like going for set value in ep with qq in a wide open game....

set of fours maybe

AxKd?

two pair putting me on horseshit?

fuck

my mind is saying fold, but i cant logically put him on anything with the suited king of diamonds...

he's not a guy to play Kd9d

lower flush makes sense..

he knows ive made and am capable of making a quasi positional bluff raise on a scary board with something dumb like KcTd here

and he knows that i know that he's overvalued top pair in a few instances in the session

i ask "333? what the fuck is that?"

and the dealer thows a big blind button at me

"im a multiple of 11 guy, maybe an 11th level retard"

[ok, well, retard is right, seeing as how 333 isnt a multiple of 11 at all... wacky trolobyte.... my read was to lean over and throw up..]

but for some reason... after about 80 seconds... i said "all in"

insta call

f0ck

he doesnt turn his cards over... im curious

"got the flush?"

"yeah"

[well thats not good at all......]

"nut?"

"nut."

"ballsacks"

im drawing dead with the second nut, in a $1600 pot.

Kd3d.

he proceeds to rackup and leave immediately after i send over over $700. double ballsacks.

now

during my walk around

i cant logically put him on anything other than the nuts

but i also cant put him on a hand that includes the king of diamonds that he would have been playing... one of the lags or mr. retardo, sure

but not him

i dont konw

i just cant think i played it wrong.. and i dont see how i could have possibly not doubled him through there

can you?

my read was right though... laying down 2nd nut there just feels like having my vagina spread wide open for the world to walk into

5/13/2007 9:41:24 AM

Pretty standard, you were blocking most logical king high flushes he could have. I don't think I'm hardly ever laying that hand down, unless he's just the ultimate weak/tight player and this is the first time all session he's raised in this manner. It's like middle set on a drawy flop, if they get it all-in with top set then you're just fucked.


Also, you missed me by about 90 minutes when you texted me about this at 6:45 this morning. The funny thing was that I woke up and had NO IDEA whether it was AM or PM. I couldn't figure out if I felt so tired because I had only slept for 90 minutes or because I slept 13.5 hours which would definately make me feel sluggish. Outside, it was dewy and looked like it could be PM if it had been raining all day. And I was so tired that I couldn't remember if the extra light on my alarm clock meant AM or PM. You caused 10 of the most confusing minutes of my life as I laid in bed debating whether I should roll over and risk sleeping through the sopranos or get up and check the time on my computer. I eventually got up and checked, let out a loud WTF at the AM I saw, and went back to bed.

Like you said, it's very difficult to put anyone on a hand like K3 of diamonds, especially seeing as how there was a substantial preflop raise. IMO, any decent player probably wouldn't be playing that hand from where he was, so it's pretty hard not to pay him off there. Honestly, I would have put him on 44.

5/13/2007 8:00:43 PM

sleeping strange hours caused me to have an issue last night too

soon after posting that last post, i had fallen asleep on the couch.

woke up at 6pm and was flipping out thinking it was 6am and it was time to go to work

or what day it was

i actually got the shower going before registering that it was light outside



[Edited on May 14, 2007 at 4:37 AM. Reason : now its 430am, ill legitimately get ready for work in an hour... but im all wacked out on schedule]

5/14/2007 4:36:24 AM

yo feeble i tried cashing out of bodog on like april 1st, still no check. something about a new deposit method that i used that wasn't worked out all the way. my deposits still haven't even cleared, which means i'd probably have to wait like 2 more months for my money, at least. so i'm just gonna chip dump to a buddy and get him to withdraw.

here's a hand from my turning stone trip. playing 1-2, 200 max. i have about 230 in chips in middle position, villain has maybe like 400 in early position. i just sat at the table so no real solid reads on anybody yet.
2 limpers in front of me so i limp with a-5s, button pops it to twelve, 4 callers, 5 way pot. flops comes a-9-4 rainbow. checks around on the flop, the raiser seemed to be pretty tight, so i was prepared to fold my ace rag to any bet and call on the flop, button checks it, i figure him for a middle pair now. turn brings a jack, 2 diamonds. checks around to be again, i value bet my ace for $20, folds around to villain who check raises and puts 50 on top, i end up folding just bc i don't feel like really stacking off with a-5 just yet in the session. i actually folded pretty quickly.

However, the next day in the shower i started thinking about it and i think his bet smells like a semi-bluff pretty bad. he can't put me on that strong off a hand, it actually looks like i'm trying to steal in that spot. he might've slowplayed 2 pair or a set on the flop, but i doubt he'd check again on the turn with a drawy turn card like that. if he made 2 pair on the turn i doubt he'd go for a check raise again bc of the draws out there, seems like he'd make a small bet to build a bigger pot. that was the main thought that i missed at the table, i just didn't see him looking to trap on that turn again, if i could do it over i'd shove the turn for value, shutting out his likely draw, but idk maybe it's better just to give it to him, what do you guys think? i obviously don't shove with a-rag ever, i was ready to fold it on the flop, but idk i feel like i played it wrong.

5/14/2007 7:35:28 AM

My answer to that is, it is tough to tell without being there and learning this guys betting pattern. It definitely wasn't a bad fold, and you could argue it wouldn't have been a bad place to push from.

BTW, did you use NuCharge to deposit?

5/14/2007 9:06:47 AM

betting $20 there sucks

5/14/2007 9:15:08 AM

haha, yea i know man, obviously when he raised, i was like okay, i will never value bet that spot again in my life, but i mean i wanted to keep people from backdooring some bullshit, it was only like a $50 pot though so yea i mean i played that hand completely wrong, but i still wish i took more time to fold so i could've tested out my read. just bc and shit. i only play hold em when there is no other option, those games were good and soft though.


and feeble, i used their instacash option, and then like wired my bank account or whatever, but i guess they use a 3rd party and the 3rd party isn't informing them when funds clear or whatever, i mean they haven't even taken it completely out of my bank account yet, so i'm just gonna get my friend to withdraw it for me and then just not give a shit, bodog sucks anway, there omaha games can be lucrative though. i mean you'd be surprised how often people stack off with aaxx.

"

its not the fact you bet there, i like it, and do it all the time with a weak top pair

its the size

pot is like $60, why bet a third of the pot

how he c/r'd there

ill do that shit all the time if it checks around on the flop and someone bets a menial amount on the turn

usually dont c/r though, and usually do it from late position

like, if you bet 20 into that pot, theres a good chance its going to be 80 more
