KingJames 11 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 glglAlso, a random life problem/question. When I load silverware into the dishwasher, I put the handle of the fork/spoon/knife up and the pointy/sharp/rounded end down in the silverware tray/whatev. I do this bc it's easier to get them out without touch the end that someone will eventually eat off of and you don't get stabbed by a fork. My roommates put them in randomly with a lot of the time the handle being down and pointy ends up... tilts me sooooooo bad and they think it's normal. Then I just unloaded my dishwasher at home and my mom started doing the same thing... she's not here right now so I can't ask her why but am I missing something?? I feel like it makes soooo much sense.Also, if you put only forks in one compartment, and knives in another and spoons in a third, it makes it easier to unload as there is no sorting... some ppl man, some ppl...Make me feel less crazy plz!!!

KosinTrouble 0 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I do handle down (point knifes up)... I find they get cleaned better that way. I like the sorting of knifes, forks in different spaces so its easier to sort them. As far as touching the part that you eat with... When was the last time you washed the drawer or tray that you put your silverware? I'm sure it is dirtier than your hands. Link to post Share on other sites

XXEddie 0 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 FWIW. I used to put the silverware handle up, but my fiancee told me doing it that way causes them to not get as clean for some reason. So we do them handle down. I don't get why it's a big deal. Oh, and more 1/3 lolive tonight. Vamooooo Link to post Share on other sites
QED 4 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 June goals PROFITIron man[?] profit [x] iron manSo maybe ftp has managed to go busto before I did, not a great month but I did actually make a really small profit thanks to bonuses. Ran a nice $78.87 under ev which did not help. I qualified for the max 6 month bonus but I don't think there was anyway I could have made the volume to clear it even if ftp didn't die. TotalPoker: -$114.16Rake back etc: $150.75= $36.59Hands 92.5k all at 10NLIt's going to be a case of wait and see with ftp, I still have a small amount on stars so going to try and grind that up in the mean time.

CobaltBlue 662 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Put in my lowest monthly volume in terms of hours since last September. Only played 88.5 hours in June. In December, I played 182.5 hours...and have been averaging 125 hours/month since I returned to "pro" status. With Rush out of the picture, I only put in 33k hands of cash and maybe a couple thousand in tournaments. Between cash and tournaments, I did well enough to exceed my monthly monetary goal, so I'm happy with it...despite finishing $2400 below EV. :)I will probably play poker in July, though I approach it with some hesitation. The past 5 Julys, I've posted losing months. Link to post Share on other sites

Nashtak 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Lost 2 buy-ins playing 200NL tonight. Why i can't beat such a soft game is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites
KingJames 11 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 It takes a very different approach to beat a live game then the online micros. I know that I often isolate too wide and bluff too much. Like online you can create dead money and the players will c.f a lot of flops and turns. Live they waited like 20 minutes to get a (in their eyes) playable hand, so they are less inclined to fold.Post a few hands you have played! Link to post Share on other sites
Nashtak 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I will.But on an unrelated note; how do i figure out what pot odds i would need to make a call if i know that i'm a...10-to-1 dog 80% of the time3-to-1 favourite 10% of the time7.5-to-1 favourite 4% of the time10-to-1 favourite 6% of the timeI know it says it somewhere in on of my books but i can't find it. I just remember it being somewhere along the lines of (odds to win%) x (amount of times%) plus some other things. Link to post Share on other sites
KingJames 11 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Share Posted July 2, 2011 10-to-1 dog 80% of the time3-to-1 favourite 10% of the time7.5-to-1 favourite 4% of the time10-to-1 favourite 6% of the timeI think you can just do a weighted average9% * .80 = .07275% * .1 = .07588% * .04 = .03591% * .06 = .055Add them up and it's .237 or 23.7%I could be way off though...

Nashtak 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 so i would need 3.x to 1 to make such a call on a river?[EDIT] By river, i mean allin on flop or turn. Link to post Share on other sites
