Yeah. I still think that is an angle shoot Joe.

It's definitely an angle shot.

I wasnt sure of its direct effectiveness as I was fairly sure the old man had 75, for 7-high and I'm fairly sure he said, "no, I see it, its good."

In LA, you overcall your hand and the other guy mucks, you lose and he wins.

I actually managed to extend my streak to 10 straight losses without a single win in my 15-30 live game, yaaay ds, but there was a donkey who was tons of fun, he raises UTG, everybody folds to the button, who 3-bets, blinds fold, donkey folds...

button showed A5o, I lolled so hard

he later did it again, but this time after he limped UTG, other dude raised, 2 more guys called, and donkey folded for 1 bet...?

he did win himself some chips though, he managed to scoop a big pot that was capped pre flop and on the flop with 4 players, when a third spade fell on the turn he bet out, all called, and the donk took the pot with his A7 offsoot with a nut flush on the river, got called by two players who both had flopped a set, gotsta bet it when u know it's coming

I know that is what he said but I really can't think of a reason he could possibly just call that river with like 7 high when he was leaving anyway and the whole table already knew Ernesto was FOS. I think he said that to save face when he realized his cards couldn't be yanked out of the muck.

HOWMANY,

Check the turn in your AT hand.

Earlier he had donked 88 on J77 when I held KJs and turn went check/check so I had extra reason to believe he could have a much weaker pair here and there are lots of ways for him to have a worse A or a K that he wants to pay me with, not to mention other sorts of pairs that he might decide are worth throwing money away on.

School is finally over. Just got back from a sort of interesting live session since I obviously left to play live within 10 minutes of getting home. Started out +1 rack in 20 and one in 40 and then quickly found myself down almost 3 racks in the 40. Somehow I ended +4k in the 40 and +600 in 20 because I run good. The game was just retardedly delicious from about midnight on. With the exception of two players everyone else was your ideal loose passive. The aggressive players were some complete moron that strangely went broke and the other was Lee. Lee actually surprised me today, as I felt he brought out his A+ game, something I have never seen out of him before, even more surprising because he was losing a decent amount of the night. Generally I find him pretty easy to play against and he'll always pay you off, but today he seemed dangerous, value betting well and actually folding some pairs. In fact I think he may have even folded a flush to me one hand where I 3bet his straddle with AJs and the 2 spade T high flop was capped 3 ways and the spade turn went bet/3 by him and he folded to my 4. Had flop been HU I'd assume he was making some spazzy bluff, but he can't do anything dumb in a 3 handed capped flop, so I can only reason that he had a flush as well.

I had some pretty redonkulous beats from tonight but since I got unstuck and ended up winning lots I won't complain about all of them. My personal favorite is 1 limper, Lee raises CO, I 3bet KQo button, sb calls 3 cold all in, bb calls, limper calls, lee calls. Flop Q27r limper c/c rest fold. Limper pays me off on J turn 8 river. All in guy has J8o. Sweet.

Another one I won that I almost [censored] myself from the hilarious table talk that followed from the villain. I raise button 7d5d. Villain calls in sb. He was playing tight but decided it would be a good idea to combat my aggressiveness by calling my raises and trying to get lucky. Flop Q95 two clubs. He c/c. Turn 4 he c/c. River 6 check check. He says "five". We sit there a while until I say "kicker?". He still doesn't want to turn over his hand but says "no kicker". I want to move on to the next hand so I just table my hand. He looks long and hard at his cards, shows 52o and mucks. It's not very often a 7 kicker plays. Another fish makes a joke about him calling with 52o preflop. Villain points at me and says "that guy is RAISING with 75" because surely raising button with 75s is equal or even worse than coldcalling sb with 52o.

Then there were a bunch of big pots I lost against Lee but we both played them well, they were just crappy coolers. I also folded an overpair today without raising a single time postflop. It went something like spazz opens, I 3bet KK, Danny cold caps in sb (probably a good sign for me unless he has ACE ACE). Things quickly go south on the QT9 flop. I call his bet. Turn some random blank. At the time I thought this was a fold but now I realize the pot was big enough I have to peel for 6 outter. He bets I call. River whatever random board pair, he bets, I make trivial fold but have to show because it looks like a big laydown and they need to know why I'm better than them.

Surprisingly there really weren't any useful strategy hands I can remember, maybe sleep will change that.

I thought the river went check, check. If it was bet/call, you are right, I stand down. Ernesto did it again this morning.

40/80 O11 5-handed, Ernesto is HU w/James on the river which pairs the board, so the board is 37693, James checks, Ernesto checks and was the aggressor the whole time, Ernesto says, "one pair" and James mucks ATo face up but into the pot, the dealer scoops up his hand and MUCKS IT as Ernesto shows A4. Ernesto freezes for a bit and James says, "Wait, I win DEALER!" and Ernesto says, "give him the pot, he wins" and the dealer does.

F-d up situation but was glad to see Ernesto do the right thing.

Just got back from a sort of short session. Surprisingly we got a 75 started today and it was actually full for a few hours. When the game got down to 5 handed I managed to lose every single pot for about 2 hours straight, and as we all know, playing lots of hands and winning none of them generally does not result in profits in minbet. Played 3-4 handed forever and then eventually HU with Hogan who was stuck about 15k and fuming. When he quit me at 6:30 I thought I was stuck about 1k in this game but wasn't really sure because I just had random masses of chips in front of me and wasn't sure how tall they were. When I racked them up I was astonished to see that I was actually up almost a whole rack. It's always nice when you experience a $3400 upswing without doing anything but actually counting your chips.

The game itself was pretty good. A lot more aggro than yesterday's insanely scrumptrilescent game, but I can't complain when people are spazzing their money away. I don't like to admit it but I think my play today was not so great. Certainly not bad, but I felt like I made a lot more clear cut mistakes than I normally make. I probably paid a couple spots off that I shouldn't have, but those aren't a big deal. What does annoy me was quite a few value bets I missed. And I don't mean thin ones, I mean retardedly obvious ones that nobody should miss if they like money.

Now I have to watch something about spacecrafts on the History Channel to stay awake until I leave for a doctor's appointment at 9 or so.

[bigjoet]

i flopped overset in set over set in BACK TO BACK hands!!!

first one was AA vs 88 on A8x 2 spade flop... idiot loose passive made a genius checkraise so he only lost the minimum....

second one was 77 vs 55 on 975, 2 clubs family pot... ol' one outter on the turn... i paid the max through the turn... ouch...

anybody else have seen/done this b4?

[HOWMANY]

I forgot about a beauty of a hand from Thursday night/Friday morning in the 75. 4 handed CO straddles, button folds, I 3bet KJ in sb, hogan foldsd BB, CO 4 bets, I call.

Flop: KQ9r
I c/r, CO 3bets, I 4bet he calls.

Turn: T putting two clubs
I bet/3bet, he 4 bets and I call

River: 9 club

He has Jc6c

His flop play is very strong and certainly not an indicator of why he usually goes home with $0.

BTW Crazy Mike call me again if you want to play today, I am really tired as I just got back from fishing but also really bored and playing HU with you will be better than playing a full ring game at Ocean's.

[DeathDonkey]

HOWMANY: playing Hogan HU seems like a bad idea but if he was that far gone, congrats.

All: 100/200 at bellagio, 3 handed must move. Tightish kid who just joined us raises SB, I call 54s in bb.

Flop Q82 one of my suit, he bets, I raise, he 3 bets I call.

Turn 7 not my suit, he bets, I raise, he 3 bets I call.

River 6, he checks his AA and says "that was a bad card" I bet, he calls. I was owned so bad but I got the chippies so hahahhaha.
