lol playing live 5/10nl would be at least 3x as miserable

How come?I'd take live any day.

too many reasons to list

lol documents imo.Unless its the 5/10nl at Commerce, then I agree its 3X as miserable.Mark

hehe nh nakedcowboy i remember watching u play awhile back didnt you usually play the higher buy in games ?

only if i satellite in, which is actually pretty often when I try. i think that's maybe what you're thinking of? or are you talking about cash?

[Zach6668 513]

On the flip side, you must be realistic. You said you made like 28k this year in 10 months yet you plan on making 100k next year...I'm not saying you can't do that but there is a correlation between what you did this year and what you will do next year. Also, the games aren't getting any easier and people are improving daily...

I made 39k in 2007. I'm up 39k in my first 4 months of 2008./brag/proving haters wrong.

What do you expect him to call you with?I mean, we're probably ahead, and if he's hand reading well, we never have a 7 either, so that shouldn't affect his range, but a board that scary and we're still firing, I'd expect him to fold a lot on the end here, at least the hands we beat.Just curious, tho.

109. 108, J10, AJ, A9, A8, A6, A5, A4, A3, A2.Not necessarily in any order. Since he has a seven here almost never, and has one of those hands more often than almost never, why would you NOT bet?

Flop bet should be like 3/4 pot. You want to keep your cont. bets the same size and if youre cont. betting pot always thats a leak. A big turn bet is ok there cause most of his range is a draw. And the river bet size looks pretty good.

[psujohn 0]

If villain likes to call then leading the river is best. Though I bet more. Make it look like you could have a busted flush draw. Say 28 - 32. Plus I think most of his range that can call/call/call will still call a slightly bigger river bet.If villain is generally aggressive post flop I like to check/call the river. Give him a chance to bet a busted flush draw.I think villain would have to be retarded to have the best hand here unless he has like 8c7c.

[Fluffdog87 2]

hilarious hh edit too, lol!

The player with $32,000 was a massive fish. It was very obvious that I had a big hand that had him beat, but I know that he is unable to fold any reasonable hand in this spot. He also likes to make very strange bluffs in pots that get big. He tried a few bluffs that had very little chance of succeeding in earlier hands at this table in a very bad situations. I wanted to leave enough money behind so he could be the one that puts me all in. Against a smarter opponent my bet obviously telegraphs my hand, but against this player, I felt it was the best play.

I couldn't believe it when you guys turned over your cards. There wasn't a person at the table or on the rail that didn't know you had trips.When I first opened the table, he was winning every hand. He made a very unusual play with TT very early on that I thought was just a good read. In retrospect, he clearly was just...bad. He also liked to bluff for 1/10th the pot on the river with 7-high. You raised one hand and flopped top pair. He check-called your bet. The turn completed a flush and he led pretty small into you. I wanted to type in the chat "coughcoughbluffcoughcough", but you're obviously not folding top pair to him in that spot. He ended up showing a 7-high float, backdoor straight and flush draws.
