No, they found a website where you can look up anybody's address and phone numberWhats even worse, they probably got it from someone from this forum who actually had the chance to meet him in one of the promo weekends.Idiots.. -
Lol. NH. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, this isn't my Batman glassYou know what I haven't had in a while?Big League Chew. -
The fact that he bets again on the turn and is not afraid of getting checkraised by the queen makes me very hesitant to push here. I hate his minimum raise, but at the same time, the fact that he only bets a small amount on the turn means that he might not be worried about you having a flush draw. Smells like a set of fours or ducks to me, but I might have a hard time getting away from the hand without a strong read of the player.EDIT: Guess I should read the whole thread... His play was definitely consistent with a set, but it could just as easily be a queen too.Don't have the hand history but heres how it goes.Just sat down at a .50/.50 NLTH table, Stacks involved have $50.Cards delt to Hero: A
,Q 
Folds To hero in MP2 who raises to $3, 1 caller in the cutoff. Flop comes: Q ,4 
2 Hero Bets 5, Villian raises to 10. Hero calls.Turn: Q Hero checks, Villian bets 10, Hero?Is this an easy allin?Should I have bet 3/4 pot on turn? -
But you went all in with a draw, most of the time when you get called, won't you be flipping coins?It's live.Before the turn was flipped, i asked if he wanted to chop.I dont feel like flipping coins for $65. -
But a minimum raise?You dont have to put anyone on a queen.You're closing action with the second nuts getting paid 7:1 at the river.You know how often this is someone using the "i have a full house, and a full house is a good hand" mentality? -
You're right, forgot about the topic title.i think the topic says that the blinds are 1-2NL. I knew that the other guy had a mid pair. He was so full of it and I wanted to go against just him but the Young Gun really messed up my strategy. That is why i chose to just call. However, in hindsight I wish I would have rereaised. Honestly, this hand happened over the Summer and I think about it everyonce in awhil b/c it bothers me. I think that I could have extracted more money. -
Have to enter this manually I guess because it's bodog.0.10/0.25 tableRelevant stacks areMe: 19.22P1: 33.56Villain 22.51In the BB, dealt 2
9 J 9 6 players in the pot, all limped.Pot size:$1.50Flop:9 K 5 :club:I pot it, get two callers. I assume that a set of kings would repot, since there is a flush draw on board. At this level, though, anything is possible.Pot size:$6.00Turn:K :spade:Hmm... Now this is either a great card for me or a horrible one. If I was up against two pair of any king, I'm in big trouble. However, I am not as worried about an overset anymore. I decide that a half pot sized bet ($3.00 for those of you keeping score at home) will get me value if I'm ahead or information if I'm behind. My assumption on the flop was that someone had a draw and someone had a decent hand, though I'm not sure what it could be. I hope it's not an overset, and I hope it wasn't kings up.P1 calls.Villain raises to $18.Now I'm stuck with a tough decision. Would kings full really play it like this? I never discount anything at low levels, but I must say that slow playing the nuts is something that almost every low limit player knows about and uses excessively. Neither player is especially tricky, though the presence of a flush draw may have caused someone to wait until the turn to raise a decent hand. I decide that I'm probably (hopefully) up against a naked king and call. I'm not sure what P1 has, but I have a feeling it's something like a straight/flush draw. Also, a hand or two before this, P1 and I had a conversation about how I laid down a flush to his river bet, so I'm thinking that both players may think that I'm either capable of folding a big hand, or weak/tight.I call all-in $14.47.P1 goes into the tank. Finally, he says in the chat box "Well, this is the end of my session anyway..." And raises all in. I don't think he's hollywooding, and neither does villain, who calls immediately. I'll post the results assuming I get some kind of response.Any comments? What do you put the villain on? -
What are the blinds? I'd have been worried by the young gun too, but I definitely would have reraised (probably 200) since that's really the only way to take YG's temperature. I don't want two people to have position on me when I haven't totally established my hand. Force the young gun to announce his strength if he is going to see the flop. You might get unlucky in this spot, but you leave yourself open to getting outplayed otherwise. If wannabe shoves it all in and young gun smooth calls, well, this may be one of those times to fold kings preflop if you really are playing scared money. I'm probably calling and rebuying if I can afford to play in this game.Full table. Regular live casino action. Standard raise is $15.Stack sizes:Me: $500Wannabe:$350Young Gun: $900UTG I look down at KK and make it $15. This wannabe pro who is loose and overplays his cards makes it $80 to go. I immediatley put him on PP. But then the Young Gun calls.What do I do now?Welp I just call and see the flop for any scare cards.My question is: Should I have re-raised here. Honestly it was probably a little scared money. I was totally confident that I had the Wannabe beaten but the Young Gun coming in with that money next to him scared me a little. -
I think this line is fine if you are at a table full of maniacs, which it sounds like he was. Good players will probably take your check as a sign of strength. A weak lead might get more action at a better table, since someone may be tempted to put you on queens and raise. I honestly don't care if there is a royal draw. If you get beat by a royal, so be it.I check call the flop, check call the turn, lead out on the river. This is all dependant on if there is a royal flush draw....Your hand is pretty much invincible, milk that *******.I don't think this is Optimal.... any opinions on what is? -
Not if you're up against a (an?) habitual checkraiser.Checking is pretty bad. -
It's nudie magazine day!!!!What you just wrote is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point, in your rambling, incoherent response, were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone here is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Next time ask them if you can record them for quality assurance purposes and post the conversation for us.Ahhhh, but if you only knew. I am absolutely 100% certain that it is a pure scam. I used to know a guy who did that for a living. Less than 5% of the money would actually go to the police, while the rest would line these guys pockets. It's a pretty well known scam that's been around a long time. Trust me, if a guy calls you and gives you that B.S. don't take the bait. thanks.

Yeah, without some other non-counting technique (shuffle tracking comes to mind but I think they use all shufflemasters at the Bellagio), it would be totally obvious to anyone with any clue about counting that he was counting. It would be tough to wong in without anyone else playing at the table and a 1-100 spread would be a slight red flag.It's practically impossible for a solo player to beat the BJ multideck shoe games dealt these days - often with poor rules to boot. Even with good penetration, a good counter would need to accomplish huge bet spreads to get a decent edge. About the only way it's possible to beat such games is with a Team of low betting counters and a Big Player who gets signaled in to place the real Action. That's what the MIT team did. The casino loves to see a guy like Daniel playing $1000 a hand who gradually increases his action through the evening. What they say when this happens is ...YUM YUM -
I disagree, it's not necessarily readily apparent to everyone that it definitely doesn't affect your results. Yes, it is something that we will probably assume is true, but there is nothing wrong with a "prove it to me" mentality....If you really need this to be proven, you're a ****ing retard. -
Maybe his porn got to a good part.who cares if he slow rolled you. You had the worst hand the whole time, you lost.No bad beat, just an unlucky flop.... And there's no such thing, IMO, of slowrolling online.1. Multi-tabling.2. Cell phone call.C. Looking at a website.#. Multi-tabling.5. Taking a piss.49. Multi-tabling. -
He hollywooded you on the turn and you raised all in on the river knowing that you were probably beat if you got called. I think you outplayed yourself here.

Yeah, when I reexamined the hand, I realized I had to put MP1 on the queen. Mp3 is just an idiot.only MP1 can, if your MP3, and theres a bet and a min-raise to you and you have quads, are you really flat-calling -
1st hand, you catch a good flop but don't improve after that. Tough break. Make a note that the guy overplays aces and make sure you wait for improvement before you shove next time.2nd hand, hope you aren't freerolling someone with a flush or a higher straight, but you just took a tough beat. The guy's probably not folding his set on the turn if he wasn't going to on the flop. Again, make a note.3rd hand, as stated before, you are in really rough shape on the flop. You're about 18% to win as opposed to UTG+1 55.5% and MP2 26% (yeah, it doesn't add up, I rounded off). If you had any kind of flush draw, even a small one, you'd be in much better shape to make this call because you'd be blocking some of the draw outs. I agree that this is a weak call, even though you got lucky to hit the turn, you're still only 50% to win against the other 2 (though 3-1 against the guy putting in most of the money). Tough beat, but you could have saved your money by not getting involved. Don't call a big bet to draw to a straight with a flush draw on board if you don't have the flush draw as well.4th hand, tough beat. Hard to know if you are ahead here without knowing your opponents. Like dingas said, a strong argument could be made for folding. Middle and bottom sets are a huge leak in PLO. Make a note that CO plays drawing hands strongly.5th hand, you are taking a big gamble, get a good flop where you are probably up against a set. You got outdrawn, the gamble didn't pay off. If you are going to play a hand like this, you have to realize that you are going to take big swings. Make a note that preflop raiser overplayed his set.6th hand, tough beat, but I don't like your flop play. Call the flop and the turn card would have slowed you down. Turn was a terrible card for your hand (AQ just got you), but it was also terrible for your opponent. If he still pushes on the turn, he's an idiot, but it might be tough for you to get away from the hand at this point now that you have a set with your straight. If all the money is not in on the river, it's safe to say you're beat and have to fold to a bet. Don't give up that freeroll on the flop! Make a note that your opponent overplays sets. Again, I don't like the minraise preflop. Pot it or don't raise it.

ID forgery is pretty serious if they get your local authorities involved. I'm not sure if they would, but they could.
-
That's the only one where I've seen that rule, and I think it's because exposing the cards don't affect anyone else but you and your current opponent.Rules are specific to each tourney. In the NHPC tourney you are allowed to actually expose your hand / talk about it to gauge your opponents reaction. -
Only if you're counting. BS says hit.Actually hitting a 12 against a 2 can be considered a mistake in black jack. -
Cash and tournament rules are very different. In cash games, you can often flip over cards trying to get information out of your opponent. In tournaments this is strictly forbidden.Wow, I didnt know it was illegal at the WPT to discuss your hand. Im just used to the rules of the local NL cash games. The whole thing is mangled then.Obv kathy is wayyy out of line by talking about a hand while not involved though, much greater offense. -
I'd probably check behind, though I know it is often a mistake to do so. If you were beat, you're still beat, but he might CR. He might have a flush draw, but it's hard to tell. Smells more like some sort of king to me. I'd probably take one off and try to fill up.i'll add the next line, and you people tell me if it's good/bad and how to proceed from therePupsta bets $10Villain calls $10Turn KdVillain checks. -
