While P5s is terrible, some of the "Top 20 Player" threads here really give them a run for their money.

I really cannot explain why there is so much hate. However, I lurk both sites (post more on p5s though) and I think 2+2 posters seem to despise p5's. I do not see the same hatred in the other direction.
I like p5's set up better, but often find 2+2 more informative.

Hate? Friendly rivalry? Internet nerds with low self-esteem and too much time on their hands? You be the judge!

Personally, the only thing I "hate" about P5s is the message-board software, otherwise I'm glad that both 2p2 and P5s are productive outlets for poker geeks.

I've always heard P5s has terrible players that give horrible advice but I never believed it until just now, when I first visited the site to see if it was true. The very first thread I opened advocated folding KK on a KJT flop getting 2:1
http://www.pocketfives.com/6BD810C8-...99A6399BC.aspx

[ QUOTE ]
I was playin at harrahs New Orleans, 1-2 no limit. Limped around, I was in the big blind with pocket kings. I made it 15 total, 4 others called (5 total). Flop comes Kd Jd Ts. I lead out 45(another 410 behind), guy folds, guy raises 145 total(about another 100 behind), guy folds, button raises 395 all in, now its back to me. I dont know anything of the first guy but the button is a pretty good player. Any advice on this hand would be helpfulful, Call or fold or just a different way to play it.

Reply:
Easy fold. Everything else pretty standard. If the button is as good as you say he is, he has AQ...maybe Q9. Maybe a set is looking to gamble, I suppose.

Apparently a raise to $30 is necessary preflop to pare the field a bit. That's a nice game you have going there.

reply2:
if it limped around why wouldn't the guy on the button raise it up with AQ to narrow the field? but I can really see Q9 though, since you raise in the BB I can see him calling Q9 on the button with 3 callers ahead of him. If you wanna gamble for a huge pot call, but other wise I'm pretty sure your beat.

Reply 3:
Because if he's good he knows that he'd have to raise more than that hand is worth to pare down the field. Or it may just not pare down at all, as AA just found out. He may as well play it for the limp with position and see if he can't trap a weaker ace into a decent sized pot or flop something huge. At a loooooooose table like this, it's definitely something I'd consider. Either way, it's not a hand that can be eliminated. I'd rather get into pots with these guys with hands like J10/JQ/89 any day over AQ. He might be thinking something similar.

There's no reason to call. This looks like a table that's going to offer a lot of opportunities to get a lot of money in very, very good. Why bother here?

If the button turned AQ face up it would be pretty much neutral EV, any other hand you are a massive favorite against(except Q9) so I dont know what context is necessary here.

Re: Why so much hate between Twoplustwo / Pocketfives?
 
I don't like p5s because the message board setup is horrible. Bad advice is rampant at p5s, there is bad advice here but usually it's corrected. Another think I don't like is they bow down and worship every bit of advice from at least one unproven sng player who actually gets paid to coach from other p5ers.

My impressions

1- P5's software is ass

2- P5s is like NVG everywhere, whereas at 2p2, we've mostly contained NVG to NVG.

I personally dont like pocket 5s because all the advice i ever read on there is a complete joke. they have a couple of good poker players, but it mostly seems that people join that site so if they run hot and get a big tourney score they can say "ZOMG i am a poker pro! 40 in the world baby!"

The message board set up is terrible and the worship there is way worse than anything on NVG imo.

Here's an OP from a thread started on PocketFives.

[ QUOTE ]
Ive been thinking alot about AK lately and been thinking the hand sucks all in pre flop. My reasoning is this...if I push and get called by a PP I am a 52/48 dog depending if it is suited or not, so already I am losing with this hand 52% of the time. Then I started thinking what about the fools who push and you call when they have 9d10d or who call you with AJ and then suckout. I am figuring that this has to happen at least 20% of the time that you get all in with AK.

So this means that at least 75% of time I get all in preflop with AK I am going to lose...anybody good with math please help....
