Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
The purpose of a Poo Bah post is to give back to the forum where you learned a lot from.
Most people would qualify under the "I took more than I gave" when they started posting here. Obviously if you're good enough to make a decent poo bah you're going to be giving away something you could sell at least for a small amount of money, but that's not the point. There are a lot of hypocrisies in that kind of attitude but that's another debate. |
Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
wow, he 29 posts in of that?
xSCWx, what chicagoRy said. I have taken waaaaay more from this forum that I can ever hope to give back. There are concepts that I hold dear to my heart that I would have never learned if it wasn't for reading this forum and building a solid foundation. To add, you are in one of the least bs filled forums, and you probably learned a ton more faster than you would if you spend the last year in other small stake forums. Also, there are concepts that simply cannot be written. Just write about how to beat weaker players. If you impact a small stakes loser enough then that poster is likely to look you up in the future when he (no need for she, right?) needs a coach. If it isn't for the small info you give, many players will never become good enough to afford you. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
I give back to the forums pretty regularly and while I was getting started I made a conscious effort to reply to every thread, so I'm not too guilty. I might make a well thread or post some inspirational anti-tilt quote or something.
Edit: Mike Haven is a moderator on these forums now. When and why did they change that? Not that I think it makes a huge difference or anything. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
Anybody know of a HH editor or something similar that can cut down on the space hands take up?
Basically I want to start printing up HHs and going over them at night. I prefer to read on paper than online, especially when focusing. I use up a lot of my thinking/focus playing husngs and I think reviewing a lot of HHs would cut down on my playing time (which is already too low). So something that summarizes hands that did not see flop "hero raise, bb fold" to one line and cuts back on unnecessary lines during hands would be good for me. |

Tnixon , what happened to your 10 buy-in rule ? It's not working anymore , huh . [/ QUOTE ] You really are a completely ignorant jackass, aren't you. I've already said that I backed it off a little for $50s, and quite a bit for $100s. In fact, I resurrected that last buyin thread solely to admit to a little bit of chickening out on 10 buyins when I got close to playing $100s. And I happen to know you read it, because you responded to it. Which means the only purpose if this post is to give further examples of how absolutely ignorant you really are, and to see if you can tilt me more than you already have by being a complete goddamned idiot. Grats, it's working. Jackass. |

Re: ***** November LC Thread *****

[ QUOTE ] 500th post yo. [/ QUOTE ] Please post a TR on your adventure. [/ QUOTE ] I registered back in March, but didn't post much. I just lurked around the STT forum. There really wasn't much to post on anyway; if it was a push/fold situation, someone would post some complex math and that would be the end of it. Or if it was something about how to play in the early stages of a STT, people would all have different opinions and everyone would eventually come to the conclusion that it doesn't really matter if you limp PPs or SCs, as long as you don't do anything exceedingly stupid and play proper push/fold poker late you'll be a winning player. Anyway, I had played ~1500 $12 STTs with an 8% ROI. Nothing special, but I was working hard to get better and was generally very optimistic. Then I went on a 50 buyin downswing over 200 games. It wasn't bad beats or tilt or anything; I was making correct pushes and my opponents just had a hand in their calling range way more than they should have. Being on the wrong end of countless 60/40s is way worse than beats imo. Anyway, I decided I never wanted to see another SNG again. So a couple months ago I went back to my first love, limit hold 'em. I started posting a lot in the Micro Limit forum. Nice guys, for a bunch of crotchety old men (j/k, I <3 the micro forum). Anyway, I played 10k hands of 1/2 FR. Things went well, but it was boring and the games were nitty as hell. So I jumped into fishy-ass 6max, and dropped 500bbs in 20k hands. Again, most of it was running bad, but looking over my HHs and reading the posts of better players made me realize that I would probably never be better than a marginal LHE player. I just didn't get it for some reason. So I gave up like a little bitch. And that gets us to here. I read one of Cwar's old posts (I think it was the one about why one should play husngs), and the thing that really caught my eye was the low bankroll requirements, seeing as how I was now a bit low on poker funds. So anyway, I've played ~200 11s and am down 14 buyins. There ya go, Hokie. And I'm sorry if you were being sarcastic [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] |

These are two separate villains. Hands are from their perspective. Help me figure out what they are thinking. Eff. stacks 1300 15-30 blinds Hero calls bb of 30 with Ks8c. Villain checks. Flop 7c8dJh (60) Villain leads for 45. Hero Calls. Turn 7c8dJh Qh (150) Villain leads for 90. Hero raises to 180. Villain calls. River 7c8dJhQh Kc (510) Villain checks. Hero bets 150. Villain calls. Hand 2 Effective stacks 1100 Blinds 20-40 Hero raises 5h6h OTB to 80. Villain raises to 240. Hero calls. Flop 4s3c2s (480) Villain bets 350. Hero shoves. Villain calls. Thanks. |

I had hijacked a thread a while ago where everybody (rightly) ignored this, but hey, it's LC, and there's a relevant question as well. Anybody interested in something like this being developed further? And by further, I mean at all. Currently, it's hacked together by stripping the XML HH from HM, which doesn't work anymore - I'd have to write or hijack a converter. In any case, the main idea was that it shouldn't be too difficult to represent HUSNG HH's using one line per hand. This is what it looks like: http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o...screenshot.jpg Anyway, if there's any interest/comments/suggestions/etc., let me know. Also, I haven't tried it, but I've seen something called a tournament trimmer on flopturnriver.com. Don't know how well it works. |
Re: ***** November LC Thread *****
This could work.
Converting those cards from colored visuals to 5hTd text would be ideal because I'd rather print in black and white. But this could work well, I can see like 15-25 hands per page, depending on paper I use. How much more work would you have to put in for this? And I'll check that flopturnriver trimmer out, thanks. |
