He made a couple of decent laydowns in the first episode, that others may have paid off. Top pair to Patrik I think, memory failing me though.lets wait and see how much he pays ppl off on the rest of the episodes and if i am wrong ill retract my previous statement -
I haven't read past this post, but I just want to say as a fellow Brit PLEASE drop the avatar, it makes me want to kill myself due to the stereotypical-Brit-confirming nature of it. What I seriously can't see is just why...I'd love to be in, but i suppose i'm not a very well known figure around on FCP... -
Nope. It's (at least was very recently) shown on Challenge TV, never used to have any stupid adverts apart from the ones I assume would air in the states to. High Stakes Poker was also shown on Challenge, but I only ever saw like series 1 on there.PAD in the UK is broadcast as something ridiculous as FULL TILT PRESENTS - POKER AFTER DARK - PLAY WITH THE PROS and the logo and ads are all over it during commercial lead ins/outs. -

Fair enough, I appreciate that. I hate the assumption that if you make what you were trying to hit you have to call down, but this above I agree with completely. Agree with your range now Merby, having played a lot more hands today I definitely was understating ranges on average in my session yesterday. Having played today I hate this hand in retrospect, but think if I was a little higher with better players it wouldn't be overly bad.Seriously if you're not calling this guy on the river you should fold the turn every time. Which is okay. But have a plan when you're going on to the next street, bet folding I'm pretty sure is the worst plan. If you've decided to be passive w/ the hand a get a cheap showdown keep w/ that plan, this line's ugly though. -
If it were checked to me, or if I were first to act, I'd fire again for sure, and fold to a raise I think. It's just the strength of the lead, I felt that one of them would have had the nut low. Flawed thinking?lets say that you could bet the river (oop), you don't think there is any merit in doing so to try to get a better low to fold? do people really call that river with 27xx, or 47xx?
I get the feeling you're trying to demonstrate something to me, and I feel an idiot for not knowing what it is. Unless it's simply to keep firing and not everyones on the nut low draw?my bad on miss reading you were oop. Not quite the same as your aces preflop, but fits pretty close I think especially after the turn. I'll be the guy OOP

Fair enough, I'm clearly just giving him too narrow a range here.
-
Ok, but what range do you put him on, given the way the hand played out? I am primarily a NL player, have just been playing LO8 recently. But I couldn't put im on a wide range of hands I beat unless he's a moron, and although you're saying short stackers are bad, in my experience on party the deeper stacks play worse. I'd be very surprised to see aces here.
-
That one doesn't work either, tried it from the pinned topic, the page doesn't exist anymore.That's exactly how I started playing at these stakes, but as this is the lowest stakes found on Party it often has people donking around as well as people playing seriously, and Aces are difficult to play post flop multiway in my experience, as when I used to raise it up I'd still get called in a lot of spots and would have no idea where I was at on almost any board unless I hit trips or NFD. Plus with no low protection OOP I thought I'd see it cheaper. Obviously I'm not disagreeing with you, just showing my logic, please point out if/where it's flawed.Also, I didn't check the river, he led straight out into me. I felt he must have led with the wheel as I could have been drawing myself, and I can't see them chasing on that board with much else other than the nut low or clubs.http://www.neildewhurst.com/hand-converter try this oneraise pre anytim with a hand like that in an "unopened" pot. You will still get people to follow along, but you should narrow the field a bit (read good for aces) also you build the pot with what is most likely a better hand it's a win win. c/c river as when you check on the end you will get a worse hand to bet just to try to take it down such as busted flush draw, underset, 6 lo w 2 pair,etc. -
With FTR, doesn't work with Party. Considered raising pre, but like I said every hand had been 4-5 way and I wanted to win a bigger pot, is this no limit background thinking?And with c/c river, I can't see what hand calls all the way and leads the river unless it's nut low draw/wheel. What do we beat?http://poker-tools.flopturnriver.com/Hand-Converter.phpraise preflop, lead flop, lead turn, c/c river -
Fair enough, but at these stakes on Party, people buy in for $2 and play super super tight, they're generally the ones to watch out for turning up with big hands as opposed to the deeper players. The way the betting went I felt he had to know I had a flush and would only shove a better flush or boat, would call with a weaker flush, or am I just giving $10nl players way to much credit? Plus like I say, the turn bet to me screamed of queen, flopped or turned boat or nut flush draw, and with the club coming and me leading into two would a queen really shove?For only like $1 this is an instacall, could be a lower flush or tripsWhy would you think that "for a guy with a stack this size" he must have a big hand? If anything his stack size would lead me to believe that he doesn't know what he's doing and would shove with worsea bigger raise though from a decent player is usually a fh or the ace high flush -
Apologies if this has already been said here, I haven't read the entire topic but searched it and came up with nothing.When your hands are loaded into PT3, and there are hands that it can't decode or whatever (my LO8 hands) does this still move them to the PT folded of hands that have been loaded, or will it leave them in their original folder to then be used in Poker Tracker Omaha? As I downloaded PTO (not bought, was hoping there's a trial but I'm not sure) and couldn't work out if it was loading the hands or not.Thanks.

Have been playing a lot of LO8 recently, but moved back to NL as I've dled PT3 trial, and want to make sure I'm not giving him too much credit. After the flopped checked around and the small turn bet, I felt he could have had a queen and I was getting good enough implied odds to draw to the straight or flush. At this level I think I have to lead for value more often than not, but obviously I'm happy to hear otherwise. When he shoves I puke, as for a guy of this stack I think he must be full/nut flush, right? Like I said I've been playing a lot of O8, so want to make sure I'm not too nitty.No stats on the guy at this point, was on of my first hands. Plus I'm playing a few tables so hadn't noticed anything unusual, but we get a lot of short stackers on Party who play damn tight.Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (10 handed) - Party-Poker Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comUTG+1 ($11.45)Hero (BB) ($9.90)MP1 ($3.58)UTG ($10)MP2 ($2)MP3 ($1.45)Button ($2.29)UTG+2 ($18.33)CO ($10.44)Preflop: Hero is BB with K

Right, I'm still new to O8, and have only been playing limit so far. What do you guys think about the way I played this hand? Easy fold right? I limped because normally each hand is going to the flop 4 handed+, and thought I'd rather get in cheap as at this level I can make so much post flop, or at least I have been in the couple months I've been playing.Obviously critique throughout the hand is appreciated. Betting the turn I think is ok, as if I get called in both spots as a favourite to get half this is good right? When the river hits it's second worse to a club imo, and I think I have to fold if either hits. Pretty sure I'm playing this hand right, but it's a spot I've been in a couple of times now and with having PT3 but not having an Omaha one (I dled PTOmaha thinking their might be a trial, but I can't seem to work it if there is one) I have no idea if this is profitable or not.Ok, now I'm getting tilted by the fact that there is seemingly no HH converter for LO8 on Party, apart from one awfully shitty one from Greg.ca which is only linkable, if anyone knows of one it'd be appreciated.

I agree with TB that I'm now lost on what you're getting at, as more variance for the average player is perfect for them, as it evens out the edge that pro's have. It seems you want $1500 with structures that benefit the second tier of player, which would be impossible to implement, and I actually think the current ones are nearer to that, with the play sped up at the start and deeper where the money is. That means higher variance at the start - good for the average player, then when the money kicks in the play is slower, meaning of those remaining the best players should get the money.I don't see any other way of getting to what you seem to want, and the above sounds pretty perfect structure for the buyin and fees paid, no?FYP. It's not like the skilled players are the only ones effected by the structure. Also, I can see your arguement on this TB, my main point still stands though. If rebuys aren't fair to a player who doesn't have the bankroll to play them, how is a better structure in the higher buyin events fair to a player who can't afford to play in them. -
That is a very good option. Maybe they should poll the players, see if they'd rather pay $300 and have the $1200 go to the prize pool or remain as it is (figures are obviously purely for example, but whichever the alternative would be). That would surely be fair in the organisers eyes and keep the players happy, as I'm sure that's what the majority of players would want.I'm curious as to what Daniels opinion on this is, as I'm guessing someone within the committee over the years has suggested it or it has been discussed, if not, how feasible would this be?or upping the juice, and harrahs already takes a higher % of the overall prizepool from the smaller events. -
That's the reasoning he gave. Fact is it's harder to get staked if you need double what you normally ask for.His reasoning was they were angry about the upped buy-in, and it didnt feel right tossing around hundreds of thousands around a felt table with so many suffering from the poor economy. I actually tend to agree with Mike: it's in fairly poor taste. -
I don't think it can be brought into question whether or not Daniel is doing this for himself or for Poker. At the end of the day, put yourself in the hosts shoes (not Daniel's, but the organisers). You have a lot of expenses in running an event like this, besides the obvious costs of hiring dealers and the like. If people are paying $150 each towards these costs, you can't have them there for an excessive amount of time otherwise you'll risk losing money yourself. Remember, Jeffrey Pollack and everyone else involved in organising, running and maintaining the World Series needs a salary. If these $1500 events had the structures you want, it would be completely unfeasible. At the end of the day, they're here to make money as well, that means more to them than making sure the best players in the fifteen hundos do the best.It's not a good situation but I imagine, even though he doesn't play them, Daniel has the $1500 event players best interests at heart.This seems to be a conflict of interest, if he doesnt play the 1500s, should he be allowed to have such an influence on the committee of how they are run?And since he only plays the big buyins, having their structures improved while having the cheaper tourny structures worsened seems like he is looking out for himself only. -
Moran was intentional, btw. I'm not a true moran..Good luck with that but I am a technological "morAn". -
Firstly, I'm not sure this is in the right place, apologies if not.I'm thinking of starting to video my sessions and recording sound, explaining what I'm doing and why in each hand. Not for the purpose of uploading anywhere at the moment, but purely for me to look back on and see if retrospectively I was tilting/missing key things etc.I searched around and found some helpful topics on recording sessions, but when it comes to recording sounds, will any microphone/headset work with Camstudio? For example, there's a lot of "desktop microphones" on amazon, and then cheaper "Headsets and Microphones for Skype / MSN / Yahoo / VOIP".Will either of these be fine? I've never ventured into Skype and the like, so have no idea if there's specifics with each type or if a mic is a mic is a mic. Thanks.

To be fair, people seem to never search anything. If he googled 'gobboboy lederer' or 'fricke lederer' he would have everything he needs. not funny IMO -
I see you've mentioned Day 2 and 3s and FTs of some events, but others that would clash with other events start days have not been mentioned. Is this a case of if you're knocked out early in one tournament you will play the ones mentioned, but if you're knocked out of the events where you've listed all possible playing days then you'll rest instead?I'm tired, and think I've worded that horribly, hope you know what I mean.
