Wandigo 1 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 So I run a home tourny once a week of about 30 people.. Each player starts with $80 in chips, blinds starting at $1/$2, increasing every 20mins..I get 8 8 pockets, first position after the blinds calls the BB of $2, I raise and make it $8 to go. Two guys behind me fold, next guy calls. Button folds, sb and bb both call. So if my math is right, there's $34 in the pot.After the preflop bets, SB's stack is about $40, BB at $55, me at $72, and the guy to my left who's in at about $50.Flop comes 8 8 J . SB makes a bet of $10, bb folds. I called here, feeling that a raise would scare out the player to act after me, but he just called. The turn was a 7 . SB checks, I check, last-to-act checks. (I should've bet here, but the player after me is a real loose player and often bets when the table checks to him). So the pot is now $64.River is a 10 . Although I would've liked to see a spade, I hoped somebody maybe caught a straight, or 2-pair. (Since I knew nobody had a 3rd 8. :-) ) SB checks to me, I bet $20, and the two other players fold.I was hoping they put me on a missed flush draw and an attempt to steal the pot with a slight overbet. I'm not sure what the guy to my left had, but SB had AK off-suit.Should I have raised after SB's first bet, or just made another bet of $10 after the turn instead of offering the free card? Either way, I won about $45 with my quads, but I think I could've gotten more out of these guys than I did.Any suggestions would be appreciated!Thanks in advance!from this thread, which only got a few responses. Actuary was pretty nice in it and is still a name I see around here often. Link to post Share on other sites

sealster 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 my first post was in a thread about tipping in the big game way back and went like this "How exactly do the dealers get picked to deal the big games? Are there high standards to deal such a big game and do the dealers change very often?" ah it was great when daniel first blogged about the big game when everyone in the forum knew virtually nothing about it.

quadaces 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Doesn't matter how embarrasing it is (and mine is pretty embarrasing), you have to do it. If you don't know how, click on your name, then profile options in the upper right, then find members posts, then go to the last page. Here's mine:"Anyone know what site/name Daniel plays online? Thanks"Ensuing flaming fairly tame How the hell do you find your first post? Link to post Share on other sites

Mayor_Qu1mby 0 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If anything I think that this might help out the live game. If you lived in an area around a casino but only played online, now you would have to go to the casino to play. I think live is still on its way up. Now that I think about it Las Vegas rooms could be down based on the time of year. I would think most players would make a point to go during the world series. The next couple of months could just be a little bit slower because of this.^^^^^Real first post now.^^^^^^^ Link to post Share on other sites

Actuary 3 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 thanks brvheart.Here's mine.I couldn't find it before.http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...mp;#entry166930Jayson,I believe u are correct, Sir!Odds of flopping exactly 2 pair :In Excel: =COMBIN(3,1)*COMBIN(3,1)*COMBIN(44,1)/COMBIN(50,3)= 2.02% ~ 48.5 to 1 againstAKA: Ways to take 1 of 3, and 1 of 3, and 1 of 47, of the total ways to take 3 of 50.My rookie thoughts on the whole completing.. I would do it with anything because I don't always think mathematically and would look at it as "Small bet for huge pot possible". That explains my lack of success!The relevance of the 5.9% is that even if you see all cards against all 10 opponents and no more betting, you will only win enough to barely justify the completion; nonetheless, will enough of the eventual losing hands stay in to justify continuing to call bets with a possible losing hand? I know you need to re-evaluate the pot odds / implied odds with each bet, but I always have trouble with that unless I'm drawing to the nut hand. What kind of board will be strong enough to keep calling with 7-2 and a) not be beaten and have enough opponents to make the pot worth it. Flop: 2, 7, JYou hit two pair. Ok, who's still going to play with you? Jx, 22, 77, JJ, J2, J7; maybe: 89, 810, 910. So about 1 out of 50 times you hit two pair and then get future action from hands that often are way ahead. The 1/20 of the times you will eventually win with this hand, I'm guessing you will not recoup all the $$ you spent losing with it.been reading oftenlove the info Link to post Share on other sites
