CONFIDENCE BOOSTERRRzach got banned from the palazzo...? wtf did he doprop bettors, how ru guys doing? i've got 5480 hands...lol! I SWEAR IM GOING TO MAKE IT

I'm at 19k for the month. It's annoying because FTP keeps bugging out and closing for me, and everytime it does, those hands don't make get imported correctly and aren't counted (throwing off my graphs as well). Might need to ask FTP to send me hand histories or something.

Mhoward subject:Challenge thread is a cliq, here there are not a lot of people, over there there have been tons of them, most of them have met up in real life and use that thread to chat with other each other and their horses. The amount of people that come in and spam it are ridiculous (cough babylon cough) and just expect to part of the gang. Results oriented too, if you popped in and start posting $400 hands you would get a lot more respect, not fair but thats how it is. If Snamuh was acting like he does and posting 10nl hands he would be flamed and ignored. Its still a great thread, generally more funny than insightful but some discussions are amazing, especially when rdog goes into detail but still it can be called an "unfair" thread.But in saying that mhoward got what he deserved, he was treated ok and then acted needy and whiny as if he was owed something. He never commented on anyone elses hands or comments and then made a comment comparing to this thread. Was never going to end well.I'm a lurker there for over a year and most of my posts(160) get ignored but I still agree with them for the treatment he got which wasn't even that bad.

After my computer crashed, I lost my HH database. I contacted Tilt and they sent me my entire HH within 4 hours from first emailing them. So this is definitely an easy option for them if you want them to send you your January 2009 HH.

I'll take a stab. Since you know BB is a solid reg what kind of prev hands have you seen him call with no odds on? I dont think he has a draw unless its a monster like A9cc or J9cc (which if he did hit is oesd he makes the nut straight on the high end, you know this obv). He obv doesnt mind if you coming into the pot too cuz he didnt raise the shove, which imo leads me to believe he has a set or maybe 910.THB I think he reraises with one of the huge draws to isolate that are very possible on this board and is flatting with a made hand to try to draw you in.Just my opinion, Im posting first because of Rdog's 10k post about taking the leap in doing so. I may and probably am completely backwards in my thoughts on the hand tho.Edit: Bolded editted in

I think shipping against a solid reg here is going to lose you money in the long run. his overcall is just too strong to be anything that doesn't have you crushed, except MAYBE 9c9x or nut club draw, but the times you get it in as little better than a coinflip in those instances is overshadowed by all the times you get it in w/ 10% or less equity. However, you are getting 3-1 if you want to peel, which if BB is trying to be sneaky with the nuts he may check to you hoping you'll bet allowing you to get to showdown for a reasonable price. A call by you might be just scary enough from his perspective to get him to check bottom set and give the same result. I don't know, i don't play 6max at this level so i'm curious what everyone else thinks.

Normally in spots like this the flat is super strong but given that board I honestly think he would 3 bet a set here. He also is 3 betting clubs and combo draws I would think. Pretty gross spot though cause it is going to be a set some of the time and T9 some of the time. I lean towards more weakish made hands that he wants to play against the fish but not stack off against you but I can't think of one. 55, 65 maybe? Bottom straight draw, pair type hands is only thing he might want to play against the fish but not stack off against you. Maybe pair plus gutterballs? T8? I hate it but I probably call and fold the turn if he sticks it in. Honestly I don't even mind folding. Calling>Folding>>>>>3 betting I think. Pukey for sure though.

so i was playing some 3/6 6m (deep) 2 days ago.at the tail end of the session i decided to check my graph and noticed I was down 5.5k at one point.i kinda lol'd at that, and then booked the -4k win.that's my story.- Jordan

[Jordan 1]

"-4k win" wasn't on purpose...but now it is.!@

Zim, as played I would shove. I would check flop through a lot because you can never get your money in great here, but you can on the turn. If sb bets/shove then you can happily raise no matter what BB does. In this spot its harder for bb to have a set imo because I would think he would raise a set here a lot. Folding is certainly not a bad option and way less variance imo because you're never way ahead and you have so little money in the pot.I had a ridic morning today. All at one time I had:On a HU table a shorty raises me, I shove 22 he makes a ridic call with Q9s and spikes the Q, then very next hand he raises I reraise he shoves 66 and I call with my AA and he spikes the 6. Then while those two hands are going on, I call an utg raise with 34c, flop Q57cc, utg bets, I raise, he JUST calls. turn offsuit 6, he checks I bet he raises, I shove he snap calls and I'm drawing dead. LOL unpossible!Mark

Also I'm sorry I got off to a bad start in this thread. I'm going to try and contribute in a positive way and hopefully we can all be friends.

**** you poker for what you put me through. Guess where I should have stopped I played sick good and ran sick good early. Then I played pretty marginally and spewed a bunch of stacks. Eric Liu completely raped me (and I had position on him also) in a CR video so look forward to seeing me get destroyed. I didn't pick up a single hand vs him and he was running 28/23 with a 27% 3bet percentage, and he shoved in all of my 4bets. Pretty gross and I'm going to look like a complete donk.

i want to lay odds that my unborn child is a boy. i'll bet $50 to win $40. Kaleigh is 11.5 weeks along and i can provide ultrasound proof to confirm. You can't tell a baby's sex until 16-18 weeks. do i have any takers?

How'd it go with the house yesterday?I'd like a pic of how the little lady is "carrying" said child........

[Jordan 1]

snamuh, how many times did you 4bet him and fold? if it was more than 3x then lol!

[Snamuh 0]

It was two or three times but spread out. I literally didn't pick up a single hand. One of my 4bets (my first 4b) was a cold 4bet and he INSTA shipped. I didn't win a single pot vs him and ran so terribly bad. I'm curious to see what he had.

We could tell as soon as my wife started showing because of the way the baby was laying. Random people would come up to us on the street and say, "So you're having a boy...Congratulations!"

What sucks is I completely nitted up after I realized I wasn't able to do anything. And I didn't get a single hand the entire time. I think I got a walk with KK once.
