[Without A Contraceptive]

means youre a sicko lumph... i think as pertaining to nlhe big bet and big blind are always synonymous but im not entirely sure

im getting a lot better at hi lo, the improvements in my game are freaking me out a little bit. feels go to know where youre at and when to bet.

ran gooooood last night, sat with $50 in a .25/.25 game with my friends.

[Reach]

Well, I've ran like 50-60 bb/100 over nearly 10k hands once. I know a couple of other people that have turned up sick numbers too.

The catch being I did pretty much nothing over that run other than catch cards. God mode was activated.

Eventually he will start running bad, and that will be the true test of skill. Nothing harder than making the right decisions, dropping buy in after buy in and trying to keep a level head.


I suck at hi lo, so yeah, I never play it. 8)

But as far as I know, a big blind is half the big bet, so it would be twice the bb, and that's what a lot of trackers use to post your win rate.

[Without A Contraceptive]

ya that is true. that would make sense, i have no experience with that stuff.

hi lo is so much fun. now that i know what im doing it's seriously getting to the printing money point with the people im playing against at $1/1, $1/3, eventually $1/2/5 and 5/10. nfd nut low wrap Ship It

omg lol. yeah one massive runbad streak took half my roll so i'm just gonna cash out and quit this site. moved up to 5/10 had 4 tables going. have about 500 per stack. get AA KK AK and 88 at all 4 tables so naturally i was pumped... the AK was slightly after the other 3 hands were going on. so i get it in with KK run into AA tank 500. get it in with AA his QQ sets up. flop 893 with 88 get it in AJ hits his flush draw. pissed and get it in with AK JJ holds. LOL christ

Shitty dude. Good decision to quit while you're ahead though before you tilt off.

Not that long ago I posted about pretty much the same thing happening to me, except over about 10k hands for 30 buy ins LOL

Though, running v. hot right now. Luck comes and goes, just got to tough it out.

Well, hot except for 1 hand today. Was way up, raised the button with 44, sb and bb call. Flop comes 842 two diamonds, check check I bet, sb re-raises, I re-re-raise and he shoves. I insta call, he turns over 84. Pretty standard, but drawing semi-dead until he rivers an 8. D:



Edit: Jman vs durrr is on now.

rofl @ Tom. He's up like 50k right now, but holy hell he just tanks and then calls junglemans all in, in a like 120k pot with bottom pair rofl, and jman shows up with complete air.

jungleman not only bullying tom but getting ridiculously lucky in show down hands...must be hard for tom, but anyone saying tom is playing scared should check out that hand...!

[awein999]

On fulltilt? How do you know when it's on without having to check constantly?

[Reach]

It ended after like 1.1k hands, jman up 40k. Said they might play more later.

I was on tilt when it started and happened to notice.

some pots:

Durr's best call (All in on river from Jman): http://i.imgur.com/uWWHd.png

Cooler: http://i.imgur.com/A6NnS.png

Jman's best call: No pic, but it was sick. 3 bet pot, flop came like 66J, Jman cbet, durrrr raises, jman calls. turn 66JJ jman checks and durrr moves all in. Jman tanks, finally calls showing 88, durrr with AQ. Jman holds both runs when ran twice.

I have no idea how you make either of those calls lol. I mean, Jman air balls constantly, but still, calling with a 7? I also don't know how jman calls on that board, since when he's wrong he's completely dead, and when he's right, he's not that far ahead.

I think Tom needs to start 4 betting him a lot more in position, since he's winning way too many hands barreling 3 bets oop and with magician like style managing to dodge all of tom's traps ip (probably because he has air half the time, so start punishing him for it pf).

Also probably needs to start taking initiative oop more often, and getting thin value out of huge river bets where it counts. As far as I know, isildur is the only one that can actually beat this guy, so take after him XD

As far as I can tell Jman is making his 3 bet range pretty polarized, because he showed up with stuff like 62 a ton of times in 3 bet pots. Don't know how to combat this other than by 4 betting, especially when jungleman has an uncanny ability of finding the all in when his opponent is weak but not compounding the felony when caught.

[lumphoboextreme]

lol i always do that. turn a tiny deposit take off with it but then get stuck and run like shit at some point moving up.

tourneys are my biggest profit area though gonna stick to live big tourneys once i can

[awein999]

I didn't know you could run it more than once online O_O

Hopefully I'll catch their next session.

As far as I know, you can't on stars, but on tilt you can. It's practically mandatory HU or deep stacked (Anything over 200 bb); otherwise the variance can be super brutal to the point of never wanting to play those games without a hard cap.

[lumphoboextreme]

sigh we need to get a bigger group together for michigan. i have me and another guy for sure. like 3 maybes from ffr. come on guys. xD

[lumphoboextreme]

sigh... bump

If awein wants to organise them, sounds great. I've been pretty busy between being sick, organising my daughters 4th birthday, gym and such. So haven't been around at the appropriate time to everyone else.

I can make awein an admin of the FFR poker league group so the league name can remain appropriate.

Sorry guys.

//blasted timezones...

p.s - Anyone else trying to sat their way into any of the SCOOP events this year? I was unfortunate enough to be moving house last year and missed opportunity to play.

[Without A Contraceptive]

running it twice is good, i run a lot of pots multiple times - especially big ones.

last night playing plo (five cards aka big o) i got it all in with JT8s9s3 flop QsTs3... two pairs, flush blockers and the small wrap. i bet the pot on the flop, dude raised and i 3 bet and he shipped it for like 2 dollars more after tanking for like 2 minutes. homie turns over AAKsJs2... big wrap and my flush is dead - like i thought but damn this still sucks.

basically the equivalent of set over set in holdem.

[awein999]

Anyone at all who wants to continue any sort of poker club let me know and I'll set up and organize some games in advance. As of now it would be on my "awein999 games of wonder" (id: 238337 pass: wondertastic) because I'm not an admin on the ffr poker league. If I do become one I'll happily set up some for that one.

[emerald000]

I am always up to more poker.
