OFFICIAL: Poker thread part3

[PotKettleBlack]

try being a bears fan in the sports section... the cutler threads are endless lol

Being a Patriots fan is amusing. 88 threads start about how Brady is overrated, and how the Patriots are on the decline every time they lose.

[Smurg]

How do you guys usually go about cashing out on Stars? I need a better way than having them cut me a check.

On tilt, bank transfers ftw, only takes like 1-2 days usually.

[ptwa9]

No offence man

doesnt work like this anymore which sucks. You have to get verified as a coach by a mod now before you can advertise your coaching unless you regularly post and reply to strat threads in the sng/headsup forum.

you have to pay for space in coaching forum now

and also I have reset my stats recently, so not much of a sample size graph to go by (yeah 42 games is nothing).. will play like another 1k games and get a decent graph



i've won about 28k from husngs though

[Loctus]

Ugh, that sucks. If I were to get some coaching I'd probably just PM joelz54_99 though.

I think the majority of ppl realise this thread is about the lulz now with the occasional poker talk

Please try to get some reading comprehension. You are in serious need of it. Thank you.

Lulz, translating your theory about the Texans to poker, can you tell us why pocket nines are better than all of the higher pocket pairs?

[Loctus]

Sigh-worthy start to the new year imo

You must be on crack if you think pocket 9s are the most powerful pair. Sh.it

Oh and AK suited is better than AK off suit because you have a shot at a flush draw.

It's your theory, so by that token, you're the one on crack?!

You're scarying me.....when did I say this?

You started a thread saying that the best team in the NFL never made the playoffs this year, I was simply trying to translate your thought process to poker.

Oh man, this guy knows his stuff! How much you charge for lessons?

[HollisterHB]

On tilt, bank transfers ftw, only takes like 1-2 days usually.

i think im going to start using this instead of waiting for stars checks. how much are you getting charged when you withdraw?

[mcscore]

anyone want free 50 on fulltilt pm me

[FiLL]

Please try to get some reading comprehension. You are in serious need of it. Thank you.

You said for ppl to PM you with any questions, I'm assuming it was in regards to poker, since you just dissed every 1 in this thread and you posted that statement in the poker thread...

What else was that statement in regards too oh poker lord?

[Suit]

joelsz should go jump off a bridge.

[Propulsion]

Anyone here have experience playing in live tournaments at casinos?

If so, how would you characterize the general difference in players compared to online tourneys?

the play live is overall pretty terrible. $60-$100 tourney live is like the equivalent of a $5 tourney online and thats me being nice.

Thanks. I'd assume most people will play fishy.

I've been playing 5NL lately on 6 max tables. Here's a hand I played recently. I had a little bit of history with the guy I went heads up against before this hand so I felt he was trying to outplay me. I was using smallball strategy where I minraise any hands that are in my range and go from there.

keep your preflop raises between 3-4 times the big blind I really hate minraises. I think you played it fine after the flop.

Its really hard to guage how good a player is at the 5NL level but overall trying to get it all in when you hit top pair will be pretty profitable.

[Propulsion]

Thanks. I like minraises because it widens my range and I play accordingly if someone reraises behind me. Most importantly, it is very hard for someone to put me on a hand. I think minraising is good if your postflop play is good.

It's hard to put you on a hand if you open shove every hand too. There's no change when you min-raise instead of 3x it. At higher limits, people will be more apt to 3-bet you if you min-raise and they'll crap on you IP because it's so cheap.

Just 3x it.

Min-raise is standard in cap games, but that's about it besides in 100bb, min-raising the button is decent too.

So any raise you make is 3x? Even suited connectors?

Who do you think you are? The Daniel Negreanu of $5NL? Forget about widening your range, and disguising your hands, it's five dollar no limit, people don't give a monkey's ass what you have, just raise it to 3x plus one BB per limper, or something. If you always raise the same amount no matter what, be it 2x or 1293x, then you're still doing the same thing.

As for the hand, what feedback are you looking for exactly? With your comments it sounds like you had some reads, and history with this guy, or your Daniel Negreanu madskillz meant you just ''knew'' he had nothing, or whatever.

My main question is if you thought he ''obv didn't hit'', then why not reraise and get all in because you're surely not calling his raise if you think you're behind there? Although the way you actually played it turns out to be fine, so meh.

[NiR]

You must be on crack if you think pocket 9s are the most powerful pair. Sh.it

Oh and AK suited is better than AK off suit because you have a shot at a flush draw.

AKs and AKo is the same thing... odds are the same. you can still make flushes with AKo.
