double post...

****SPOILERS BELOW****

Anyone confused on why I'm never in the AIM chats anymore should read this thread...way too much drama over single digit money amounts. Thought I left this shit behind in junior high.

When you hit the set you declare a misdeal because there are five of that card in the deck.

I appreciate the thoughts - I donked up this hand on 4 and 5 pretty badly...which is why I post these. I pick a random hand that doesn't feel quite right from my session and toss it up on the board to see what people think. They may feel standard at the time, but I've found a bunch of leaks from this.Thanks again!

Google image Gina Carano...insanely hot.

I'm not sure about Gonzaga. I'm fairly sure he's the favorite, but I'm amazed at how vulnerable he was in the clinch 5 years ago in the first fight with Werdum, and how vulnerable he was in the clinch 6 months ago with a much smaller Randy Couture. The underdogs are all underdogs for a reason, but I'm leaning toward there being much more value in betting them than betting the favorites. Between his pedigree and his size I think he's the heavy favorite...really looking forward to the fight.

Seemingly standard hand...what do we think Seat 2 had? Any thoughts on any streets are appreciated - I'm trying to learn Stud Hi because more games run on FTP.7 Card Stud High ($0.50/$1), Ante $0.10, Bring-In $0.15 (converter)3rd Street - (1.40 SB)Seat 1: xx xx 2 ___brings-in___foldsSeat 2: xx xx 8 ___calls___callsSeat 3: xx xx 7 ___foldsSeat 4: xx xx 5 ___foldsSeat 6: xx xx K ___foldsSeat 7: xx xx 2 ___calls___callsHero: A T A ___completes4th Street - (4.70 SB)Seat 2: xx xx 8 A ___checksSeat 7: xx xx 2 T ___checksHero: A T A 3 ___checks5th Street - (2.35 BB)Seat 2: xx

I can change it back to the one where Chyna is lifting up her skirt if you want

I'm really struggling with these. I'm thinking about putting one bet down on each of the underdogs on the next card - if just one of them comes through and wins I'll break even, if two of them come through I'll have a really strong night. I'm fully convinced one of the underdogs will win, and if I get lucky maybe two will pull it out. Like Lebowski said, I think they're all very much live. I'm going to skip the Diaz vs. Robinson fight, and bet on Lesnar instead of Mir.

I probably don't play high enough to really qualify for this, but if you need a UFC handicapper as part of the training staff let me know ;)GL to whoever ends up part of the group~!

Balloon Guy vs. JoeyJoJo is the real FCP superthread...counting the minutes.

It's amazing to me that at his size he actually has some technique. He could be a force someday if someone figured out how to train guys that size properly.

A couple thoughts on folding 3rd: - How many situations make you happy on 4th street though? The other two low cards have to catch a high card and you have to catch a low card to be happy. An ace makes you happy as well, so add that.- You really aren't getting 8-1 because you're really only playing for half the pot here unless you catch an ace and then probably at least second pair at some point. Your real equity is only in half the pot, not the full pot. Also, keep in mind that taking into consideration the upcards you've seen on 3rd, you're less than 50% to catch any low. So you have to cat

Dump on 3rd - three of your low cards are visibly buried, and seats 4 and 7 being involved (both seemingly better on the low end than your A48) means probably 4 more are buried. I play WAY too many hands like this, and it doesn't work out well for me. A48 has very little scooping possibility, and it looks like you're behind on the low. Like others have said, dump it on 4th. I'm not sure about Cappy's advice to raise on 4th. It disguises your true holdings because no one would ever expect a huge underdog on the low and a 3 card flush to be raising on 4th...there's a reason for that ;)On the ot

No real read at this point, tonight all the tables kept breaking fairly quickly so I was jumping around quite a bit. I put him on a draw...not sure what draw, but a draw. Straight flush draw maybe? I'm really fairly lost in the hand, and wasn't super confident in my hand. Felt like the hidden cards were scary at the very least, although maybe I'm fearing monsters under the bed. I could very well be playing a naked pair of queens here as far as he knows.

On phone - will add my thoughts later but this feels standard. Do I value-bet the river here?Edit: Thoughts on each street added in bold.7 Card Stud High ($0.25/$0.50), Ante $0.05, Bring-In $0.10 (converter)3rd Street - (0.80 SB)Hero: Q Q Q ___completes Rolled up Q's...no-brainerSeat 5: xx xx 3 ___brings-in___callsSeat 6: xx xx T ___foldsSeat 8: xx xx J ___folds4th Street - (2.80 SB)Hero: Q Q Q 5 ___bets This is where I started to get a little worried...I'm somewhat lost in the handSeat 5: xx xx 3 2 ___calls5th Street - (2.40 BB) Hero: Q Q Q 5 A ___raises Seat 5

This is where I'm definitely weak- who bets when? Does internet smarks bet early, and then fanboys bet a day or two before when they get to Vegas? (Does this differ for Vegas shows vs. Columbus/England shows?) It would help to try to be able to predict how the lines would go.Right now I like all three favorites for UFC 80. If someone held a gun to my head and said that I have to bet an underdog I'd torn between Rivera and Werdum...I'm leaning toward Werdum because I think he's overrated after the head kick of death to Cro Cop, but really I don't think any of the underdogs are worth a bet, and

In the meantime, you have to put these fighters in the octagon and give them matches. Every time they fight, they risk a loss. If they lose, you lose a dream match. I don't care about the spin for Liddell vs. Silva - that match was much more attractive as a unification match. Dana et. al couldn't book the match as a unification fight, both fighters lost two matches in a row, and now instead of crowning Chuck Liddell the undisputed best 205 pounder in the world he's better than Silva but not as good as Rampage or Keith Jardine (he's better than Jardine, but he has to prove it). Go back to Ortiz

I'm not HU expert (or an expert in much of anything related to poker), but my thoughts:- The call on 4th/check-raise on 5th is smooth, I like it because it also disguises your hand.- I think we have to bet the river here. If you think you've successfully disguised your hand as a pair of 8's, then he calls with jacks. I'm you haven't and he's able to put together that you have Queens, then I'm still not sure he raises you with two pair because you could easily have a better two pair. I guess I like the idea of making him fold on the river and not showing down a hand - I think there's a value to

I ran it through the converter and had it print in plain text format. Is there a better one?I definitely appreciate all the feedback you all have been giving me, so I want to make these as easy to read as possible so I can facilitate more feedback

The heavyweight division in the UFC has always sucked...even back when there were only two divisions the lightweight division was generally better. Werdum comes in without having lost to Gonzaga, Sylvia, or Couture - that makes him the best non-Nogueira option for the heavyweight title right now unfortunately. Not a great option, but a decent one...

I'd disagree with that - I think to make Jackson a star they just have to put him out on the media a few times, not take him out of action for the next 6 months because of TUF. Meanwhile, the 205 division is the most talented division in the sport and they're not going to start working through some of those dream matches for quite a while.
