5/16/2007 1:19:22 PM

honestly, i havent had the time to play much in the past 2 or 3 weeks save some ultra turbo sngs

5/16/2007 1:21:48 PM

Justin showed me all the cool stuff pto and ace hud could do the other night. I'll probably start playing again online in a few more weeks.

5/16/2007 1:23:10 PM

Played with some friends last night, and had the same hand as opposing player fives times and lost due to the kicker. I hate the kicker!!!

5/16/2007 4:16:38 PM

^What the hell are you talking about?

5/16/2007 4:20:33 PM

^^^ pto = poker tracker omaha.

^^ lol

5/16/2007 4:46:49 PM

so

i randomly found this new show, and dvr'd it last night

i bet you

its esfandari and laak basically walking around betting on anything and everything.

its the total degenerate gambler's plethora of bets

like, wakling into a titty bar, and teaching two strippers how to play poker, in under 30 minutes

have them play a best of 5 heads up game, of strip poker.. loser of each game drops an item.

for $3000 to the winning teacher



or trying to thumb a ride on the vegas strip, for $500...

none to the guy picking them up, just to be able to do it


shit like that

Awesome. What bat time and bat channel?

5/16/2007 7:43:58 PM

whatever the fuck MOJO is

eps on monday nights, but i dvr'd it at like 2 am as to not interfere with 24 and heroes

5/16/2007 7:47:15 PM

I don't even know if we have MOJO.

Speaking of degenerate gambling... are you ready for the next Little League World Series Calcutta? Starts in August so start your research now!

5/16/2007 7:54:35 PM

oh you know im in for llws action


betting on 12 year olds seemed like it was something that would bother my conscience


but it didn't at all

5/16/2007 8:03:31 PM

yeah that show is pretty solid. you can go to mojohd.com and watch the complete first episode. i think it's a little better than the second one, one of the bets has laak and antonio drinking to see who can blow closer to .08 on the breathalizer. pretty funny

5/16/2007 11:03:16 PM

I just played a $2.00 + .20, 10 person sit-n-go.

I won it, but I only got $6 for it, and the second place guy got $5. I think those were the only two places that paid out. I don't get it at all.

**Never mind, the payout was $6, $5, $4, $3, $2.

This thread is always good for a few laughs.

Jim, have you really resorted to playing $2 sngs with half the places paying out?

The best thing about St Thomas is it's easy to get to St John. but seriously both islands kick ass, but IMO St John is wayyyy better. Have fun.

OR LIMIT MASTER?!?!??? YOU BE THE JUDGE....

slingin red birds and turning them into green quarters

holy crhist im rereading those HHs and i think the people you beat's plays are worse than yours

5/18/2007 1:36:55 PM

hand 1

i like your raise

in 6 handed lhe, it's really just a pfr of like 40% and just keep betting

seems to work right?


steel144: calls $5 ~~~~ in a short lhe game, limping should never, ever occur.

noidroid: raises $5 to $10

BadBoyKillla: calls $5 weak fold or RR (BB play durka dur)

*** FLOP *** [Ah 7h 7d]

BadBoyKillla: bets $5 thumbs up

noidroid: raises $5 to $10 heehaw =]

his check call down is standard however.


hand 2

gobblinfever should be on your buddy list.

no rr pre

float the flop with queen high and nothing really working

not bet when you make your miracle card.

just check call and piss away money.

hand 3

saywhat_agan: solid.

5/18/2007 1:46:01 PM

What are good stats for limit? I'm like 25/20/2.5 in 500 total hands of 5/10 and 3/6. I go to showdown almost 40% of the time, too many A-high calldowns I think.

5/18/2007 3:52:31 PM

6m or FR?

5/18/2007 3:53:51 PM

6max

5/18/2007 4:00:47 PM

like 33/29/4

you gotta get wide open

you'll never have wilder swings than 6m lhe.


that whole 300 bb br thing for lhe can just go out the window

when i was doing 6m, i used a 600bb rule, many advocate for higher.





for the record i am under the opinion that trying to learn 6m lhe totally destroyed me as a poker player and turned me into an action junkie. for serious

^call. AdKd, AdQd is the only fear. I would put him on an overpair and you have the right odds to call.

5/18/2007 5:32:59 PM

for me thats an instacall

5/18/2007 7:08:05 PM

opps, AdKd or AdJd. You had the queen of course.

But yes, call.

5/18/2007 7:09:49 PM

I would not put him on AQ of diamonds because he is actually holding the Q of diamonds. As it turns out, the deck only has one.

5/18/2007 7:10:17 PM

And of course the play here is call. The only hand that you're behind by more than 55-45 is a set, so unless he reraised you with 10-10 and hit a set, you're good. And even then he's only like 70-30. Why would you even play Q10 if you'd consider folding it after this flop? I guess if you expect every flop to be either QQ10 or AKJ.

5/18/2007 7:17:26 PM

"I would not put him on AQ of diamonds because he is actually holding the Q of diamonds. As it turns out, the deck only has one."

I would put you on too fucking slow to make a joke and too dumb to edit.

5/18/2007 8:05:01 PM

Geez you are touchy.

5/19/2007 12:54:08 AM

I did insta call and he had Ac10c and I didn't improve

5/19/2007 12:13:54 PM

It sucks that you lost, but that's not the issue. You were only like a 53-46 dog, and after the inital amount you had invested, it was in your best interest to call.

If you've never had pot odds explained to you, it's like this (if you have, don't take offense).

There is initially $8.05 in the pot. You're chances of winning are 45.8%. Your chances of losing are 53.0%.

So put those numbers into this formula:

INITIAL POT SIZE + AMOUNT TO CALL(WIN % - LOSE %)

As long as that number comes up positive, you have the odds to call.

Also this calculation assumes no rake. You'd have to factor that in if there is a rake.
