Yo fluff I can see you are really unhappy with what is happening. All things considered I rate you and Jordan as the guys from this forum who impress me the most. You are both good players, very positive and level headed. And Jordan seem pissed about it all too.I have never posted much but have always enjoyed reading this forum. There seems to be a fairly repetitive pattern whereby truly exceptional players leave and a whole bunch of recreational players who weren't here to learn say so ****ing what. And a bunch of guys who were here to learn think to themsleves damn that really sux.But I don't see why Rdog's new forum has to have a negative impact on anyone. I mean he has invited everyone who has ever even remotely contributed to the challenge thread (he even invited me!). And i am sure if anyone had a genuine interest and wanted to get involved there would be no problems.There just always seems to be this ego battle between guys who are posting / playing for fun and guys who are perceived, or perceive themselves, as posting / playing very well / seriously. And the reality is who gives a ****. I mean if your are posting for fun and are confident and secure in that fact, why do you care if some tool wants to crap on like he knows everything about poker? And if you play for a living, why do you care if some random wants to criticise your game?It is all pretty juvenile from both sides. From my perspective, I am a full-time lawyer who made more from poker than work last year. So to some extent I can empathise with both sides. And I really don't see any need for conflict. If someone wants to make a post about how he "only" won $20K by finishing 5th in a tournament, and wants to vent about his bad beat, why can't we let him do that without being critical? And if someone wants to post about how they ran $50 into $10K by gambling it up, why can't we all just enjoy his tale? Ultimately Fluff and Jordan would let the guy who only won $20K vent, and would enjoy the tale of the guy who ran $50 into $10K without being critical. And that is why they have my respect. If everyone was a little more like them I think we could all get along.

Tre I will do a bet with you. Kind of hard as you obv don't know me so I am trying to think how we could do it. I am 260 at the moment and will be in vegas at some point in June (I will be in the c-thread house the last week in June).ummm I could escrow? I am dave798111 on stars so I guess you could look me up on TR and OPR to see I wouldn't bother scamming you for a relatively minor amount? I trust you obv.I am open to any type of bet but unlike Troyo I would prefer it to hurt if I lose as for me that would be the whole point. Need to defeat the inertia! Anyway lmk what you think.Hey Ray (troyomac not Rdog haha) you wanna do some sort of weight loss bet? We can start it like sometime this week and end it the first day we get to Vegas or something. We can set it up so we both have goals of a weight to get to and if we both get there we owe nothing. If one of us gets there and other doesn't obv the one that gets there wins and if we both don't get there we donate to charity. I have to weigh myself again because I've been working out and eating better the last week but like two weeks ago I was 243. -
Cool I guess I am taking that room from the 19th onwards (pending Mark's confirmation).Gary I hope you are an attractive man100nlk im in for the house... hte pricing stuff says its 690 for the 2nd week and 660 for the 3rd week.. but it looks like I cant move in until hte 9th.. so i assumme the 2nd week would be cheaper? Go ahead and put me down for when i can move in until the 18th. Thanks mark and rick. -
Yo Mark I PMed you re Vegas house

Hi guys would appreciate any input on this hand.It is v Nanonoko who is the biggest winner at Stars 2/4. PLays 24 tables but is creative.History - I play pretty straightforward vs him - really try to avoid him tbh. A few minutes ago on a different table where we were both deep he checkraised turn with a turned flush draw in a pretty small pot and missed then checked down river. I had TPTK I believe.Thoughts on all streets appreciated.

meh I don't like this much. I don't like the call preflop. I mean sure he 3-bets a lot but does he stack off with air often? I just feel like if you raise call with KQo on this board you are doing exactly what a competent three betting monkey wants you to do. At this point he has only invested $26, while you are going get $100 in very badly when called. Also I think he will call you with underpairs a fair bit given board texture (although I guess you are in decent shape with 10 outs v those hands). Whould he shove on you with AK?I dunno his smallish c-bet just makes this play less attractive. I would rather flat him with 109ss pre as that will tend to have better equity when you get it in. I mean I suppose you are stacking off on a K-hi or Q-hi board?My thoughts are muddled but in summary I would rather call him pre-flop with AA or suited connectors. While your play can't be too terrible it is -EV imo.1 more, standard?

ty for this and also ty mike. I like this setup as it seems to be a bit of a mix of cascaded and tiled. I will try to figure something out along these lines. I will be interested to see what happens re your win rate. Why could you not just play 11 tables of 2/4? From what I have seen in the past few months the gap between 1/2 and 2/4 is pretty minimal. However I admittedly do game select far harder at 2/4, whereas at 1/2 I pretty much just sit down at any table and feel it's proftable because of all the lol regs. And there are some regs at 2/4 eg Nananoko who I am certain are way better than me, which isn't the case at 1/2.I guess the swings from 11-tabling 2/4 could be pretty violent.As an aside, have any of you played with "Dokosoko" or similar on Stars? Yesterday he was 15-tabling, with 11 table of 2/4, 2 tables of 5/10 and 1 each of 10/20 and 25/50. I have played with him a decent amount and can't figure him out.The 4 tables on the right are on my 24". The rest are on my 26". Usually there are 3 tables I'm not seeing the action on which is why I had asked a while back about adding a 3rd monitor. Just haven't done it yet. I tried cascading when I was 16 tabling during double FPP's but didn't like it.Ummmm......I think my winrate playing 11 tables of 1/2 is probably higher than 6 tables of 2/4 but I could be wrong. I'm probably going to play a lot more midstakes this year so we will find out.

Quick question for those who play 10+ tables.I have been 4-6 tabling $400NL on Stars for the past few months with good results. However I would like to add more tables, and plan to learn this at 1/2. I have 2 24' Dell monitors.How do you guys set up your tables? I find that when I tile 10+ tables I can't keep up with the action. When I cascade them I can, but I get a little disoriented. Where would I find those software additions that make multitabling easier?Also Rdog I seem to remember you saying that one reason you don't move up to 2/4 is that you wouldn't make any more money as you would only be able to 6 table. Why do you believe this to be the case?

Can you explain why you think this? I completely disagree. In the games I play ppl very rarely flat two streets with a bare flush draw or complete air. And for checking to be more profitable, villain has to be bluffing with a missed draw / complete air more often than he is calling with a medium pp / weak one pair hand. I can't see how that can be even close to being the case, irrespective of whether villain is an 8/6 or not.it's probably ok against an 8/6 or whatever he was because he probably doesn't check for value much, at least not knowingly, but i think in the villain's spot he is getting a lot more value with most of his range checking that river than betting it. I agree with merby that I think you are repping an extremely narrow range. Pretty much a king or air. Against this villain though it is probably fine. -
I think it's OK. When villian double barrels that board then checks the river, I think his range is really narrow. I don't think he's double barrelling any PPs other than AA and sets. And I really don't see why he would check a K or a boat on the river because your line looks like a PP / weak one pair hand to me (a5 suited if you call pre with that, suited conectors, etc). And in his mind the board pairing on the river increases the chances that you will call a bet with your PP / weak one pair hand. So unless you have a very aggro image, or he is very trappy / tricky, I can only really see him check calling with exactly AA. I suppose he could have turned his own weak one pair hand into a bluff on the turn, then call your river bet because ZOMG the board paired how could you have a K. But overall I think your bluff will turn a profit.Edit: This is based on an assumption that ppl play draws fast on the flop in these games - if this is not true then he will be bluff catching more often but not often enough imo for the bet to be unprofitable.I don't like this line, because I take the villain's approach with and king and high PPs with some bluffs mixed in. I am checking the river to induce, and your bet is only folding out my bluffs. Your line just screams missed FD. -

Ah OK I misintepreted your earlier post and didn't realise you were referring specifically to the dry board in question. The arguments I made for raising draws and air do not apply to dry boards, and I agree with you.Especially re the OESD. As someone mentioned earlier, flatting with it and then hitting the draw will make you a lot of money because it will be disguised. For the same reason, it is not a good hand to semibluff with because it is not a super obvious draw, so villain will be more likely to put you on air than on a hand you are willing to felt. And your equity sux when you get it in. I prefer flatting OESDs in a lot of situations for these reasons, and the situation in the OP is certainly one of them.You can't take my statement when talking about a really dry board and compare it to a really drawy board. Of course they are boards that bluffing and raising sets is going to be profitable. Hypothetically any board is going to be bluffable. There are definitely going to be better boards to bluff with T9dd than 246ss just because it widens the range that Villain is continuing with. My main premise was that if you think someone is going to have air a large majority of the time on a certain board and won't continue with much of it, why would you raise really strong hands? Snamuh thinks he gets people to put more money in with worse hands that way, in general I disagree and that's fine. I can at least see the merits. Pretty much the only thing I can't see the merits of is raising a decent draw like OESD. -
I don't get this. What about a 246ss board. I feel like raising 109dd is the most profitable play a lot of the time because most villains have a hard time continuing as they know there is a wide range of hands that you are going to be willing to felt on that board. You can also exert a lot of pressure on them depending on how the board runs out. Raising As5s is pretty standard given your equity in the pot and fe.And raising 44 on this board is usually the most profitable line imo because you get it in against an overpair and draws (and balancing obv but we can ignore that for now), and there are a lot of turn cards that kill your action. So I think 246ss is a great board to bluff and to raise sets on. I don't get why this is illogical. I raise with air to profit from the air part of his range. I raise with a set to maximise profit from the part of his range that contains made hands. While I think he will fold more often than he will continue (which makes raising air profitable), this obv does not mean that flatting with a set is optimal.Are your standard lines different from mine on this hypothetical board? And do you think my lines are fundamentally flawed?Uh.......Pretty sure we are never going to agree on sets and bluffs on a board like this. I just don't really get the thought process that you think it is a great board to bluff AND to raise sets on. Doesn't really make sense. Cause there are so many cookie cutter Villains out there, you certainly have a default line. Another thing to keep in mind is you are giving advice for a hand at 100 NL.Having said that, raising an OESD on this board I can't understand why it would ever be good. What does raising accomplish that flatting doesn't? You are still going to have a chance to take away the hand when he has air, while at the same time giving yourself extra cards when he has a big hand. We basically are guaranteed to get the money in bad when we are crushed and fold out everything we probably could have taken the hand away from anyway. -

Four of the same symbol is a strong hand.He actually had KQo here FWIW. I am pretty sure he would have folded to a shove. For $200-$250 - I just don't know. Next time I will try your line and see what happensIf he's a bit passive, I suppose a hand like AK could be in his range, and he'd probably not fold that, if he called the turn. Same goes for KQ. It doesn't make much sense for him to have anything here, heh. A flush draw is possible for sure, he bets the turn with a hand he can't show down unimproved, then calls because he has 4 of the same symbol, lol. Of course, we get no value from that by betting.I'm just kinda thinking out loud in this, and the previous post. -
I agree with a lot of what you have said and will have to think a bit more deeply about it when I stop grinding. Most obvious question from my perspective - what hands are you getting value from with a bet in the $200-$250 range? I guess al jacks - do you think anything else calls?I would be interested to hear other views about whether regs will bluffshove this river often.^^ I think I bet more for value, about $200-250 seems ok.The problem, imho, with a 1/4 pot bet, is that we plan on folding to a shove. Ok, that's cool, vs some people, but a lot of guys will interpret it as weakness and bluff shove with some of their weaker made hands, and whatever missed draws they may have.At the same time, we have about ~$380 left, so if we bet $250, we definitely aren't folding to a shove since it'd only be an additional $130, and he could always just have Jx for some reason.My biggest thing, is that I don't know shit about 6-max, so maybe I'm way off, but in heads up, I'm never ever folding this, ever. Like, in this spot, what could he have that beats us? Surely a set puts in more action. A set should definitely be 3-betting the turn here, if they slowplayed the flop, right? KJ should have put in more action as well, similar to a set. I suppose he could have J9, but not raising the flop on that board just seems criminal, although if he's passive, that's certainly possible. Maybe J8? What cards could he have that get there as a backdoor flush? He can't have Jx of clubs, of course, so the only pair/club draw he could have would be the KcXc. I suppose that would fit with the action, somewhat, although I'd imagine some people, particularly those who might be passive, would check the turn back with a weak top pair hand. AKcc should 3-bet preflop, but it can't be ruled out, KQcc, KTcc, K7cc, etc. I suppose QcXc and TcXc might be there as well, but most would be folded preflop, as most connected hands are not possible due to the clubs that are on board.Fwiw, if you bet 1/4 on the river, I don't think a reg would turn KQ into a bluff, but he'd probably turn a worse hand into one. A missed flush draw maybe, etc. -
I have been running into this spot a lot recently and am trying to develop the best way of dealing with it. Here is the hand:PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4.00 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.comSB ($536)BB ($80)Hero (UTG) ($577.30)MP ($801.80)CO ($506.60)Button ($882.10)Preflop: Hero is UTG with 10

Don't have stats as not using a HUD atm. From what I had seen he was loose passive, generally not great.After he calls the turn checkraise I figure the majority of his range comprises KQ / 2 pair / combo draws with 10s or clubs. I don't think he ever has a naked J but I think he has J10 a decent amount.On river eff stacks are $380. On that river I feel like he isn't calling a pot size shove with anything we're ahead of other than J10 (maaaybe fold that but probably not this particular villian). I feel like he is folding all his kings and 2 pair hands that didn't boat up. So I went for a 1/4ish pot bet. I was folding to a shove because I think he almost always has a hand with at least a little showdown value, and can't see him turning anything into a bluff. For the same reason, if I check and he bets I think I am usually behind (although again he would bet the jack sometimes but probably wouldn't shove it). In any event I don't feel to great about check / snapping off a shove.I feel like he calls the 1/4 pot bet with the majority of hands he called the turn with. What do you guys think of this line? If you like it, do you like the bet sizing?Also do you think it is any good against regs? I mean I can't really see a decent reg getting to the river this may with pretty much anything, but if he does, is he ever turning KQ into a bluff? -
really fck I need to brush up on shoving ranges I would have thought that was terribadI'm wrong.

From a legal perspective, it is probable that the agreement between TJ and Fargo was 'frustrated' by VT's buyout. This actually allows Fargo to rescind the agreement, so TJ would have to give him the full $100 back. This hinges on whether VT's buyout was unforeseen and uncontrollable - it must have been beyond the contemplation of the parties at the time the agreement was entered into to be applicable. Anyway whatever I think what happened is the fairest result.Also thank god I will no longer be a lawyer after August 21 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
