Official April Thread: General Discussion/etc

[KRANTZ]

i'm insane? i want to get better. it was probably more out of curiosity - i wanted to sit and play with the best player and see how far away i am skill-wise. and i'm having a great april so i can deal with a big loss.

i clearly have no edge, but i did hold my own for 2 hours or so and ended up about even.

KRANTZ gets pwned hard-core by durrr? To be fair durrr is a level higher skill-level wise than KRANTZ is so this isnt really suprising. This isnt dissing KRANTZ's play; durrr is probably in the top 5 NL cash games players in the world right now.

if i were him i'd call too

there's obviously 0 value in shoving at that point and he gets to see his opponents' cards in case he's bluffing

Wow are you serious?

I would just call too, information is worth more than any value in a shove
