I don't no most of you as I don't often post on this site, and if i do, it's in the NL section. But a lot of these posts were great reads and really informative. I am 19, and I did freshman year last year at the University of Pennsylvania. Right now I am taking a semester off for no real reason other then that it is hard to concentrate in school when I can play poker and make monies. In regards to the poker job resume thing, I have a few friends who are seniors now in college and who make bank in online poker, and says that it has actually helped huge in their favor. Granted, both the jobs were for investment banks, so I am not saying all jobs look favorably on it, but I never really knew that there were any jobs out there that looked favorably at poker on a resume. One of my friends has a below 3 GPA, but goes to a very good school, and is probably going to get a very good job based on what school he goes to and how much he makes playing online poker. Basically, this has really inspired me to go back to school and get my degree and try to do as well as I can. I am doing very well for myself now, but I don't no how much longer it all can last and I think I want to do more with my life then just click a mouse all day.

No matter what way you spin your story and try to somehow make me look like the bad guy, hitting and running in heads up cash games is TERRIBLE etiquette. The worst part is by far is that i thought you actually understood this because you watched me that whole night, saw that guy jonstermonster hit and run me 5 or 6 times, and agreed with me that hitting and running was unethical and classless. i think thats the part that got me, and i wouldn't be so angry if i hadn't been so accommodating to you that whole night only to watch you do hit and run me like every other person does. Also, I wouldn't have even been that mad if you had sat out after your last hand and talked for a bit and said you were done. You just instant left without saying anything. So don't make me look like the fu.cking bad guy here, and try to learn from this and don't hit and run people at heads up cash games, especially if they had the decency to talk with you all night when you were on the rail.i've already responded to your claim via pm which you didn't respond to. since you want to make this public, I'll respond here:A. I told you I was leaving before the hand.B. I told you I was leaving DURING the hand. I stayed a couple more hands after the hand because you were freaking out.C. You edited out any of these statements in your blog. Here's what you said happened: http://ihaveastrong9.blogspot.com/2007/10/so-tilted.html Here's the full hand history, with conversation: http://www.pokerhand.org/?1553142Note: "Hero : ok last hand for a bit" postflopAfter taking a phone call, I even returned to play a few more hands because you were still losing it so bad. I'm disappointed you got so angry because I enjoyed watching and talking with you, but I'm not going to feel bad enough I'll join you in a game over my head again, especially when you're acting like such a jerk over this. -
A bigger issue for you that is much larger then hand selection is:DONT HIT AND RUN FULL TILT REGULARS AT 10 20 NL HEADS UP AFTER THEY HAD THE DECENTLY TO TALK TO YOU WHILE YOU WERE ON THE RAIL FOR 4 HOURS, AND RIGHT AFTER YOU GET A SET VS TOP 2 PAIR.

bet closer to the pot on the flop, like 17 or 18. once he bets out the turn, you are usually beat here, so yeah without a read, fold is probably good.
-
i agree, still gotta call though. its 25 NL, people suck, and you have 2nd nuts. call call call.yes AQ c-c the flop a lot8 handed it's rare that someone 3 bets preflop with something that has a flush draw here - pricing isn't that big of a concernAQ might bet for info. then again, AQ could c-c thinking that a bet is only getting called/raised by a better hand, and that not taking the lead isn't disastrous since plenty of turn cards give him a redraw and/or cause hero to check behind.as for the hand - at 25NL, i don't think you can ever fold the second nuts, even though everything about your post suggests he flipped up the Qc. -
i personally think you need 50 buy ins to play optimally in NL, especially when you get to higher games where the games are more aggro and the swings are larger. I remember when I went on a 15 buy in downswing 4 or 5 months ago at 2 4 NL and was so glad I had around 90 buy ins. Downswings are quite real and harsh, so if you play with 10 to 30, be prepared for a possible nosedive in your bankroll.
-
i think you played this perfectly fine. good play.
-
because people suckhmmm I am not as optimistic about my set of 3s in this spot, especially if this player is at all decent. The open pre flop check on such a ragged flop always has me weary of my hands, especially when the turn card is an under and my opp moves it in. I think you'll see way more sets played like this than ak or kq. Why would the villain just go nuts for 100 bb on a bluff in this weird spot?? -
hahaha yes this is true as well.Shitty image to get people to fold, amazingly awesome image to get people to stack off with 1 pair. There's always a bright side you know. -
i would usually just call the flop raise unless you think you have a tight enough image to get him to fold. personally, i usually have such a shitty image that this kind of play would rarely work.

wtf is up with the attachments? for me, it says attachment space used 483.63K of 500K, and then says my graph is too much. pretty lame.anyway, I am up around $23,400 for October so far. Ship Ship Ship.

this is such flawed thinking its not even funny. wow. he posts about avoiding going broke and you say put it all on the line? do you understand variance? again, if you want to do this, just bet it all on red. seriously.The buyin thing is an internet problem and a casino problem why play in a game with a minium buyin? It should be that a buyin is the min. you can buyin for not max; also I think the attitute of bankrolling today has become a business mangement thing were gambling is not the best route to money in business as a whole ;so these"shop keeping" players aren't in the right field at the idea level. When you gamble you can lose on a good bet but not in the end so minus bad bets you have made money in the economic sense; You should go over the hands that cost you so much, I have played wiith some heavy losers and I know they don't flinch because they know that luck will come back around; I am sure you don't steam so bad you'd kill right. So my advice is take your whole bank roll and buyin as high as you can what is it say 400 on one event and count every card as your last and remember what you did wrong or what luck you had ( everyone has luck in poker , the winner of the WSOPe main had great luck going allin with A10 and being called by AJ, that is a 2million dollar bet on ace ten) there is a threshold of truth were it matters to you ...SURVIAL.... or just quit the good boy stuff I am doing that and I have the monopoly; -
what stakes/limits do you play?

If I am ever at a table with Humberto Brenes in the future I am going to tell him to shut the **** up if he starts singing his own name at the top of his lungs after he busts someone out

LOL 2 buy ins. I have gone on a 15 buy in downswing, and I am pretty sure others on here have had similar experiences. The best feeling ever is when you are playing over rolled and you don't need to worry about going on a downswing. The next time you start again, try really hard to have at least 20 buy ins in any level you play. Playing on 2 buy ins is basically like playing craps or roulette. If thats what you want poker to be for you, why not just bet it all on red now and get it over with?LOL i guess i was playing way to high i had a br for 2 buy ins in the limit i titled off in. -
yeah, but what do i do with 44 to 77 here? from what i saw in one of his posts, he said he was shoving 88 for value on the turn against a hand like 66. so i am assuming that he completely misread my flat call simply because he wouldn't think I would make such an obvious flat call with a 9. see everything you are saying is correct for sure, just that he knows all this. so in a way, doing the obvious play is what got him to misplay my hand, since im supposed to be a "legit" player.Yeah, that's true. I mean, really the only thing that I think is wrong with flat calling is that you'd never do it without a hand, right? I mean, with the awkward stack sizes, it'd be a really nutso play to flat there without some kind of hand. So, whether you have a 9 or not isn't totally the point, it's just that if you shove, at least you can have air of some type, but if you're flatting the 3 bet, it's so unlikely that you don't have some made hand already.That's the whole thing with the higher stakes players, especially with history between one another is that it's like "well, he knows that i know that he knows....." and if you stop one step too early or go one too far, you lose. I mean, don't get me wrong, you played the hand great, but what other hands would you ever flat call taht 3 bet with? I'll be that there aren't many. -
i agree with you, but at the same time, he knows this right? so therefore, level wise speaking, if i flat call, he would think, "wow, if he had a 9, he should have shoved. theres no way he has a 9 here then, i thought he was legit. **** it, im shoving the turn for value. don't mess with aejones."The one thing that I've learned from reading the HS 2p2 threads is that so many of the hands at those limits, it's all about if you're on the right level or not. Some people are constantly using 3rd or 4th level thinking and they assume that their opponent is acting the same, when in fact, their opponent might be jumping back and forth constantly between the lower levels, c/cing when a c/r is assumed and so on. It's a fun game to play, but if you're one level off on your thinking when you're reading their hand, you get it 100% wrong.I mentioned before though, in this hand, due to the stack sizes, calling the flop 3 bet totally gives your hand away. You're OOP and you don't have a lot of money left. Basically, the flat call just means that you have to have a hand here like 90% of the time and any hand that you're flatting that 3rd bet with is gonna be better than his 88 with the exception of the 5 or 10% of the time that you get totally out of line with 44-77. I think if you had the hand to play over again, shoving >>>>>>>>>>>>calling. -
Not just in this hand, but in general, the whole reason to play fastplay a hand and play it straight forward vs good players is so they cant put you on that hand. So I am thinking as the hand goes on what he is thinking, and how he can't possibly think that I have a 9 here. So level wise, I am either 1 level ahead, or 1 level behind lol. Pick either one, although I am a huge fish so its probably the 1 level behind.

LOL. Here are the 3 days of October.October 1st-Won 9 grandOctober 2nd-Lost 8 grandOctober 3rd-Won 12.5 grandI also played Matusow heads up for 2K and won. SHIPPP IT.I would post my graph but it says file was larger then available space. blah. just take my word for it or read my fabulous blog.Strong 9 out

yeah, i was stunned. the thing is, i had heard he was an real good player. im not sure if he is that, but he definitely knows what he is talking about on 2+2 a lot of the time, which is why it actually did kind of bother me some of the stuff he was saying. If some random shortstacker bi.tches after a session, it means nothing but he isnt that so i dunno. Although I think it was mostly that he misread my hand so bad that he took it out on me, still not sure.results are i had A9, and snap called his shove on the turn. He then literally ranted for at least 20 minutes about how awful I was.How awesome was the dude's trash talking after this hand? I thought it was awesome. I especially liked "man, i thought i was playing someone legit.." -
no i am the villain in the 88 hand. results to come laterrrrr.So, does Roberts have the 88 or the other hand? -
On that A5 hand, I 3 bet preflop to 90. Bet the flop. Then check called the turn. Then wimped out on river and just check called.

i was actually there witnessing the event, and Naismith was more concerned with trying to to start a fist fight then he was to play poker. Some guy kept raising every hand and Naismith took personal offense to it. Although I might have messed that story up and switched up the people, I really cant remember
