I dunno wtf it is about me but when I play live people call me down SUUUUPER light for absolutely no reason, Ill sit there all night playing abc poker and out of no where they call me down all 3 streets with 5th pair, gotta love it.

Re: ***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...
 

Had a very interesting session today. Started out getting one guy really good. I felt he was crap, and at one point I was sitting with $500 vs his 200. Then we got a bit more even and we got all in on turn for a $587 pot with my TT on 359J board. He had 58 and hit his 8 on the river, so it was back to work. Then he limped with AK and board came TJx. I bet pot with 89 on the flop and turn and we ended up all in on the river when the Q came. So he's sitting with over 700 and I start over again. Then he starts playing really really well. He was constantly floating me and making me fold on the river, and each time I looked him up he had the goods.

However, I managed to trap him a couple of times, and I got my deepest match ever. $500 vs $500, and I managed to get it all, plus another $200 reload from him [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] That was one of my coolest sessions ever, so I'm really happy he didn't leave when he was up that much. Here's the graph:

Re: ***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...
 

ugh, these turbos are getting annoying.

i made a lot adjustments over the past two days and did a lot of reviews of my hands. and i watched a few CR vids. so i'm stealing flops more, playing more controlled, adjusting to opponents more, etc.

yet . . . it feels like such a crapshoot and i'm doing a little worse than breakeven. blinds get higher and it's my AQ vs. a PP all in pf. or my 99 vs. JJ. or A8 vs. KQ. or QJ vs. A6.

just alot of 55/45 or 60/40 or 40/60 situations, or me being crushed like 80/20 or 70/30.

Since you have all been moaning so much heres my free video:

If you havent used megaupload before just enter the anti spam code in the upper right corner and wait like 30 seconds, then you can download. If you have any problems with sound or video it probably means you dont have the xvid codec, just google it and your problems will go away.

Re: ***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...
 

I don't have any problem with you guys swapping money through this thread, however I feel obligated to post the following as a warning (via MH):

[ QUOTE ]
All transfers are arranged entirely at the two parties' own risk. The two parties are responsible for investigating the creditworthiness and honesty of the other. My advice, among other precautions you should take, would be that you should obtain the other party's real life name, address and telephone number, in order that you have full details to give to the police if you are scammed. You should exchange full details of the proposed transfer by e-mail. You should transfer only in amounts that you are prepared to lose. Transfer in a number of small amounts if the total amount you need is more than you are prepared to risk losing. Google and Search the other person's Twoplustwo name, and their playing-names on the two pokersites involved. Ask in the thread for references, if you wish. Ask the other party to sit at a table with his bankroll in front of him. Etc, etc. It seems likely but not definite that most scammers are newer posters.

If you are scammed, inform and warn others via a post in this thread, as soon as possible. Give the pokersites full details as soon as possible. It is highly likely that they won't be able to take any action to save your money, (as they only have your word against his that he didn't keep his part of the deal), but at least they should note the alleged scam and possibly disallow future transfers to his account in an attempt to protect other customers of theirs.

You must accept that Twoplustwo will take little or no action against alleged scammers, (again, they have no proof that the alleged scam has actually occurred), including possibly not even banning them, so you should not think that just because someone still has an active account in the forums they are not as likely to scam you as any other anonymous stranger on the internet. If you are scammed, you must not post personal details of the alleged scammer in the forums.

Be careful.

"Let the buyer beware."

who is this fish????????????? ty for sklanskys

down a little over 4 buy-ins so far, so fun! i have 0 clue if i play good or not though

Re: ***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...
 

its a rough beat, but villain's play is entirely reasonable imo.

Re: ***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...
 

I had a kind of epic HU session at 200NL on fulltilt the other day. The guy took like $450 off my within maybe 15 minutes cause he was an absolute wackjob who just called any gutshot and hit so many big hands/beats/coolers it was unreal. I couldn't bring myself to stop-loss and leave, cause he was the best spot I have seen in so long. So at one point stacks were like $650 to $200 in his favor, but I just waited, went on a bit of a rush (ie. flopped a pair once or twice), and wound up with all the money except $22.

I opened an email to my friend to send a few hilarious HH's, and wrote "I'm still playing him but he has 20 bucks left, I'd quit but I want to bust him on principle". Well principles can be expensive cause he rebought for like $54 more, some odd number that told me he had his whole bankroll on the table, and I decided to bust it for him. 20 minutes later he hit two 2-outters and also a runner-runner flush (when I hit a running straight) and he had like $400 again. WOOPS. I will not make that mistake again. So I had to stay a while longer, but I did finally bust him, AA vs KK all in preflop. Woulda been more satisfying to win on something other than a cooler, but after not getting a big pair for 600 hands against him, I figured coolering him was luck evening out.

Anyhow, here are the best 2 hands. They both still make me laugh so hard, a friend who was railing me just kept going "wtf???" the whole match.

-----------------------------------

The turn makes me LOL cause of the bet sizing and cause he just bet-min and then called the raise in like 1 millisecond, absolutely NO pause to consider the size or anything. I feel bad in retrospect that I only overbet the pot that much on the turn, he probably would have called 200%. His river line is pretty frigging sweet, partly because it was also INSTA, like just he bet within a millisecond and then folded within like a millisecond.

hey i'm not sure where to post this b/c i'm pretty new to the forum, and i figured lc would be the safest place to not be in anyone's way at least. anyway i've been having troubles getting the converter's i've seen around here to convert my hu sng hand histories, and i was interested in some advice about if i'm playing w/ terrible leaks or if it's more variance that's been affecting my bank roll a bit. anyway, if anyone has any advice or knows where to find a group to exchange hand histories and that sorta stuff i'm trying to become more involved in the poker community. thank you.
