[Chargers In 07]

k I got 160k hands at the $50 and I went through the whole pokerev thing with a 2p2er last week and used holdem manager for when facing/giving lots of action preflop w/KK. It's a -ev play to get all in with KK at the $50. I know nobody will agree but I at least put in some effort to see if it was + or - ev. Every single time with the exception of 1 I got in w/KK w/heavy action preflop I was toast when having >75bbs.

Agreed chargers... i've also noticed that.

in a 4bet+ pot in the lower limits... 25-50NL... and even 100 NL... it's usually AA (it's probably different once you get to the bigger games where you're like 4betting 27os easy :P)

it's that way because i've noticed that people are generally less aggressive, so you wont' see many players 3 betting period...let alone 4bet... so it's almost safe to stay away from those hands unless you have it. it's just not worth it unless you have stats on the guy as an ultra loose and aggressive... in that case.. we'll just ring the cash register.

against any of the setmining nits at 25-50 and even 100NL... kk is not a bad fold in that spot unless you've already committed a @#%@ load of chips.

my 2cents. (on the low level games)

Guys;
Thanks for computer suggestions. My other computer nerd friend thought I was overdoing it as well. All this does is convince me that I want it more [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

Seriously though, I'm having second thoughts about going the desktop route and might pick up the 17" XPS M1730 laptop. Seems ballin'

Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T7700 (2.4GHz/800Mhz FSB, 4MB Cache)
Speed: 200GB8 SATA Hard Drive (7200RPM)
4GB9 Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz
NVIDIA®SLI™Dual GeForce®8700MGT with 512MB2 GDDR3 Memory

Which will only cost about $3k in korea.

If you want a laptop get the one I got:

Inspiron 1720, Intel Core 2 Duo T7500, 2.2GHz, 800Mhz, 4M L2 Cache
3GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
High Resolution, glossy widescreen 17.0 inch display (1920 x 1200)
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100 Inspiron 1720
160G 7200RPM SATA hard drive 7200RPM

It is nearly perfect and I don't think you are going to get the deal but I got it at $1300($1800 retail)

hahahahaha..

Grimstarr is sitting by himself at the 2/4 tables(w/ 60bb) waiting to blind steal. Poor guy has put so much time into looking good and trying to be famous that he isn't any good at poker. He looks as though he may have lost his roll [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
