...And good Saturday morning to you, army.Had some fun last night. The usual, our 5 dollar 5 man card game turned into an 81 dollar pot, and I end up with about a 3rd of it at the end of the night, from 5 + one 5 dollar reload. Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.I probably would have had closer to 50 bucks, too, but I got majorly huckled (actually by one of our better players). I swear, I don't think anybody anywhere will find a tougher, more aggressive, action game of poker for an initial 5 dollar buy-in. It's crazy because everyone plays so aggressive, usually the first few pots are played for all-ins, then everyone rebuys, and it becomes deepstack poker.Plus, we mix in a round of dealer's choice, casino games only, and no-limit or pot-limit only for the betting structure. I, and only one other person at this game actually have a grasp of non-hold'em games, so there's usually at least 2 double-ups in the dealer's choice round.And we probably ripped through about 6 grams of the good stuff.And, after putting in 50 hours this workweek, they needed me to come in this weekend to help interview and train agents. So after going to sleep at 6:30, I had to be up at the office in a suit by 9, which I was.Might take a little power nap this afternoon... and then... freerolling to play pool with high schoolers.I love weekends in the summer!

Some huckle shenanigans of the evening.And remember, after the 2nd hour or so, we're playing .05/.10 blinds, and the average stack is probably 15-20 bucks... so we're all deep as fuck. Drawing pot limit games or omaha games get absolutely insane, because everyone draws and pots become huge quick. At our dealer's choice game, at least 2 people will end up doubling up per dealer's choice round.Two examples:No limit hold'em, 5 handedHero (18ish bucks) is SB with [Js, Jh]Villain (22ish bucks) is UTG+1 with [6d, 4d]UTG calls $.10Villain calls $.10two foldsHero raises to $.55 out of the small blindAll fold to Villain, who calls.Flop comes [7c, 6h, 2d]Hero bets $1.50.Villain thinks for a second, and raises to 4 dollars.Hero re-raises to 10 dollars.Villain pushes all in for Hero's stack of 7 more dollars.Hero calls.Turn: [9d]River: [Jd]Didn't want or need the set on the end. Villain backdoors a flush, making a play on me with 5 kicker/trips outs and backdoor flush/straight outs.----------------------------------------------------And for Rob: No limit 2-7 Triple Draw.Triple Draw is messed up, because everyone draws and makes pot-building bets and calls. In dealer's choice, the dealer makes a $.15 dead post, and it's $.10 to call pre-draw. It's crazy.Wouldn't mind your thoughts on this hand, Rob. I reloaded for 5 and built it back up to 15 to start.No limit 2-7 Triple Draw, 5 handedPlayer A is UTG+1 with [8 6 5 2 X]Hero is CO with [7 3 2 X X]Player B is Button with [6 X X X X]UTG calls $.10Player A raises to $.40MP1 calls $.40Hero calls $.40Player B (with $.15 already in as a dead post) calls $.40 moreUTG calls $.30 more.2 dollars in the pot on the first draw.Player A draws 1, picking up a 4 for [8 6 5 4 2].Hero draws 2, picking up [7 4 3 2 X].Player B draws 4, picking up [6 3 2 X X].UTG checks, Player A bets $1.50MP1 foldsHero calls $1.50 (knowing this means player A is pat... but wheel draw...)Player B calls $1.50Now 6.50 in the pot.Player A raps pat with [8 6 5 4 2].Hero draws 1, picks up a 4 to pair up with [7 4 4 3 2]Player B draws 2, and cathops to a [8 6 5 3 2]Player A bets $2 dollars (intimidated by the action)Hero calls the underbet with a wheel draw and probably live outs to a 6.Player B raises to $6 dollars.Player A calls 4 more.Hero is getting 20.50 (plus another round of betting implied after the draw) to a 4 dollar bet, so I SUPER call (where I hesitate, sigh, and declare "super-call" as I toss in 4 bucks)Player A raps pat with [8 6 5 4 2]Hero draws one to his wheel, and squeeeeeeeeze out... a king.Player B raps pat with [8 6 5 3 2]Player A is all in for 10 dollars.Hero foldsPlayer B calls, and wins with his huckle sh!t. Player B was a-hitting (also, Player B is the person I've reffered to as "My Friend"). He drew 4 on draw 1 getting .40 on 2.00, drew 2 on draw 2, and beat an 865 with his own 865 on the 4th kicker for an all-in call when we each have 200 big blinds in front of us. And I had a "triple me up" wheel draw on BOTH of them and couldn't catch.I love action, outdraws, and sick implied odds.------------------------------------I made it all back and then some on a PL Ohio (omaha hi only) hand. Huckle pal raises with [Ad Jd J T], and I called with [Kh Qh Tc 9s]. Flopped K-K-3 and it was bet/raise/reraise/all in/call.We are some SICK action guys... and it's sick I remembered every detail of the triple draw hand enough to post a legible hand history. Also keep in mind we're baked as fuck. The greatest part is they're all my friends. I taught my friend everything he knows, and we collectively taught the other 3 players... so it's safe to say I have a little edge on the game (:So +15 for the night. And work today, then poolhall. +EV weekend so far.

I hear you.I'm only here because I'm actually working this gorgeous afternoon... on no sleep.I'm not trying to be all self righteous... but I don't know anybody my age who works more and more seriously and plays harder. I know people my age that work more... and I know people my age that party more. But nobody works more AND parties more than me.Have I mentioned I love summer?

Hey fake... your thoughts on the triple draw hand?I made a thread of it in strategy, and currently nobody's viewing or replying to it.Guess they're just scared of NL 2-7 games.

[GWCGWC 83]

I want to see who else is a FCP lover like me 9-5 or is just as bored as work to be consistently posting at this time? :wink:

fcp work crew member here.....I sell mattresses for a living. I just wait for people to come into my store and i sell them a good nights sleep. Everyone needs one, so it's not that bad. I also play online poker at fulltiltpoker and pokerstars...just nl at the lower levels. I would play limit but I don't want to have to fold a hand or tell a customer to hold on while i raise this pot.

Hey...what happened to this component of the entry exam?Did someone forget?

I think he clicked on the thread... read part of the first page... and quoted to respond to the OP General Sauce.I cite "work crew member" vs. an allusion to the FCPHA.

Yes. let alone he never imagined he can avoid having to read 568 pages of material by quoting the first post!

I believe this is an application for army entry.State your name/age/location for the record.Read the entire thread (and feel free to post random posts from the past).Get ready for your entry exam.Are you up for it?

[TJ_Eckleburg 0]

And see you in about 3 weeks. Side note: I wonder if we'll get to the point where people just won't want to read it due to sheer length.

I ask myself that question every day when I get caught up with what I've read thus far.

i think you should have reraised predraw and moved all in or close to it after the first draw.you've got position on him which is more important in this game than any other. plus, you picked up the smoothest draw possible after the first draw. you have to figure the most he's got is a pat 8 and you want to put the pressure on him to either muck his hand, or even better, break his 8.it wouldn't hurt raising at some point either to get a free draw.

[TJ_Eckleburg 0]

I hear you... and at any sane poker game with any sane players I'd agree with you.Here's why I did what I did, based on reads. "No limit 2-7 triple draw" means Player B is going to draw 3 or 4 if he has to for any price pre-draw, and 2-3 for any price on the second draw. If he hits, he's going to isolate like crazy and punish someone who needs to improve. If not, he'll be absolutely fine having dumped as much as 2 bucks and seeing the 2nd draw and folding... because he knows he's going to get PAID if he picks up anything. This game is WAAAY deep.From the way Player A bet it, I realized he had a pat hand at the end of the first draw. I wanted to call with my smooth draw to get Player B in to draw dead to what I'm drawing to, with Player A trapped in the hand. Unfortunately, Player B caught up in a hurry and wanted to isolate down to Player A (whom he was ahead of).And of course, all these fireworks gave me the perfect odds to draw TO A WHEEL for a chance to triple up through both of them when they'd HAVE to call my all in.Should I have re-raised the full-pot-raise bettor (player A) and one cold caller (Mp1) predraw with 7-3-2-X-X?And again, if I raise player A on the post-2nd-draw betting round, Player B definitely commits himself, and I've gotta call off all my chips with a 7-4-3-2-4 with one more draw... which I woulda missed. I'd have been a lot happier if I'd picked up a 9 or something instead of pairing up my 4's, and seeing how many Player A drew to decide to break the 9 (which I would have).Maybe I should have raised after the first draw when I picked up 7-4-3-2-X... when Player A picked up his pat 865. I don't think I'd have gotten a free card, but it should get player B outa there.

Keith, you're a strategy wh0re. Go get in my triple draw thread and pad that post count.I'm in a goofy off-topic discussion with some prude who thinks Triple Draw should be limit only.

[faketree 0]

eh, i have to disagree on letting someone else in the hand by just calling. this isn't hold'em where everyone is getting the same next card. you have to limit your players so you have a better chance of improving. the only time you want more players in is when you have the wheel.and yes, you should have raised the pot with your 732. that is the best possible starting hand you could hope for besides a 4 straight or a pat hand.ultimately, you would have lost that hand if he called your all in. but, in the long run, you'll have the better of that situation if you are the aggressor.
