That's a weird bet by the SB isn't it? Against 2 stacks that way cover him and with his stack size doesn't he just pot it with the overfull? What does a bet of 2/3 do to his range?

gg dude

For a while I thought this was the best place on the internet to talk strategy. Even if it isn't any longer I see no reason why it can't be made to be that way again. I miss it around here.

Just easing back in to online. Won about $1500 playing live in Dec and made a small profit online.In January going to try to grind it out in tournaments and make some money. Also I've FT'd a fair share of tournaments the last couple months, and I'd like to break through and get a win.Also try to post more in the strat forums.

Hello.I haven't played a hand of poker in 2 months. I miss poker. And FCP.I'm going to start playing again.

Wow. File that under things to not tell other people. Ugh never mind I'm a dork for knowing who that is.Here, people, should I jam the pot here?Poker StarsNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $0.05/$0.105 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $8.85CO: $15.35Hero: $8.95SB: $9.30BB: $5.75Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is Button with K T 2 folds, Hero calls, SB calls, BB checks.Flop: 5 9 8 ($0.3, 3 players)SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $0.4, SB folds, BB calls.Turn: 7 ($1.1, 2 players)BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB raises to $2, Hero ???

You should convert hands and post in the tournament forum.

Ooh, fun, a tipping thread. Where's the one where the guy claimed players on HSP tipped $1K/hand and it degenerated into 20 boring pages of back and forth?I don't know why this hits such a raw nerve with people. It only money guys, you can't take it with you.

Achieved Goal 1. Goal 2 is a no go. I played 193 hands of poker in June at $10NL and lost $5.35. I just haven't had much desire to play/post since I got back from Vegas. July:I'll keep it simple. 5K hands at a profit this month and I'll be happy.

So I was adamant the other day that all you really need to do to kill this game was play solid ABC poker and let the money flow to you... and then I got crazy and landed myself in the following situation:HERO has $800 in CO with 86o. UTG+1 calls, folds to Hero who raises to $40 (you know... because... I literally hadn't opened a pot in an hour, I think I was bored and playing off a tight image. Still, the one guy who really worried me had recently left the table, and I felt like I could outplay most of the people left after the flop.)UTG+1 (covers) calls. SB (covers) calls. BB (covers) call

Anyone going to be there next week? I came back East from Vegas and instead of rushing back I think I might hang out in AC for a few days.

Blackjack is sooo rigged. At least I demolished the all time hi score on Ms Pacman.

Thanks guys. Finished 111th for $4484. Not bad for my first event. Plus I had to get knocked out today so I could make the FCP get together tomorrow.

Ha - I saw him playing deep in another event yesterday and I thought about asking him if he wanted to grab some Vino's Pizza the next time I'm in 19444.Good luck to any FCP'ers still in this event and others.

Anyone else still in? There's 161 people left and I've got 38K.

Holy crap the WSOP is a ginormous clusterfuck. It's also the most weirdly lit poker room in history. So far the goal of not playing any -EV games the whole time here is going strong. Although I did place a bet on the Phillies to beat the Mets (they did, thanks Billy Wagner). I lost $1 playing poker for like 8 hours today .

Mike Bloomberg, FTW

LOL. You wouldn't think that a thread started by FWP could venture any deeper in WTFdom than where he started it... and yet... here we are...

Yeah good luck finding one of these anymore. Also a lot of the value that comes from making these machines +EV is stuff like a progressive jackpot for a royal flush. Once you hit the royal flush you will be ahead over the long term, but you can dump a ton of money trying to get there.

A well tailored suit is super duper comfortable. Cheap suits are cheap because they're not tailored to your body. But man, a crisp cotton shirt and comfortable suit that breathes... FTW.

NO NO NO.LOL at anyone who thinks a Martingale system is a way to beat any -EV game in a casino. AND FOR THE LAST TIME THAT IS NOT WHY CASINOS HAVE MAX BETS AT TABLES. Tell a pit boss you want to keep doubling up your bet after a loss. He'll waive any max bet requirement right away. UM, HELLO, IF YOU SUDDENLY RUN INTO THE FICTIONAL MAX BET NUMBER ON TABLE X, WELL, WALK OVER TO TABLE Y IN THE HI LIMIT AREA AND KEEP PLAYING YOUR STUPID MARTINGALE SYSTEM. Your odds of winning the next hand are exactly the same. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE! AMAZING! If you play with this system you are 100% gua

Win.

It's just gamesmanship. C'mon, ever see how runners strategically place themselves to block a fielder's view of a groundball until the last possible second? These guys are supposed to be professionals. If Jeter does this he's a gritty competitor. This is only news because it's A-Rod.
