Speaking of which, who'd be up for a Micros tourney (HORSEament or otherwise) this Sunday that starts whenever 2+2 goes down?

[/ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
The plan is to import all users and 60 days worth of posts early Sunday morning the first weekend of December.

[/ QUOTE ]

What time will it actually happen?

[/ QUOTE ]

Not sure, actually. If it gets to be too late on Saturday night, we may make the name of the game staying alive in the tourney until 2+2 goes down rather than trying to stay alive until it comes back up again. I'll ask RB.

Otter, are you going to make a return to limit or have we lost you for good? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I'm ADD when it comes to poker. Been playing some 70FPP tournies again when I'm feeling the strain of variance. Also some other, bigger tournies... $10 buy-ins don't seem as big as they did before. Unfortunately I've not cashed in any of them, lol.

Somebody help me, but isnt pre-flop in hand 1 and flop, turn and river in hand 2 incredibly butched for 0.01/0.02?

Hand 1 not pushing seems terrible given villans stack sizes?

Hand 2, lol-minraise? on a superdrawy board, followed by a PSB with relatively deep stacks (bet should be bigger, no?) and finally min-reraise on the paired board on the river?

Then again I never read any book on NLCash and I never dared opening the NLmicros. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

It probably should have been a push preflop. I didn't take a close enough look at their stacks preflop. I was going to push basically any flop, though.

I figured that a flopped set would have given me some action somewhere or something and that the min-raise was some sort of Kx that thinks trips is good.

Did BBB ever make that 5k post? It says he has 5000 posts, but the last one I can find is from early October.

(arregle' tu espan~ol)

idiomatic expressions are far from my strong suit, but you could try "mi espan~ol no sirve". the safe route would be just "mi espan~ol es bastante malo", which is what i usually use.

i have found that speaking with a heavy american accent will encourage people to slow down when they speak to you. if you can fake a good accent (as i can... sometimes... when i've been practicing), they will talk too fast even if you ask them to speak more slowly.

spaniards should be easier to understand than a lot of nationalities (cubans and puerto ricans are famously difficult, as are chileans and argentinians).

"olla" means cooking pot, so i guess you can say that to people.

t,

Re: I Need to Move Up To Where My Raises Get Respect...

This is the biggest pot I’ve ever seen (BB-wise) anywhere online with stakes higher than .05/.10, AINEC.
And it happened with the tightwads from PokerRoom (although I must admit this was a juicy table)…

PokerRoom – Fixed Limit - .25/.50 stakes – 9 handed

Preflop: Hero is in the Hijack with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG limps, UTG+1 limps, MP1 folds, MP2 raises, Hero coldcalls, CO coldcalls, Button coldcalls, SB coolcalls, BB folds, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

I has pocket 9s and I’m seeing this flop no matter what, and these guys are loose enough to have several (cold)callers more…

Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (Pot: 15 SB – 7 handed)
SB bets, UTG raises, UTG+1 coldcalls, MP2 3-bets, Hero caps, CO folds, Button icecoldcalls, SB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

I has middle set, and you guys don’t scare me on this drawy board!

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (Pot: 19.5 BB – 6 handed)
SB checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero raises, Button folds, SB coldcalls, UTG 3-bets, UTG+1 folds, MP2 calls, Hero caps, SB calls, UTG calls, MP2 calls.

I has a full house, and you guys don’t have pocket tens, nor pocket sevens!

River: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (Pot: 36.5 BB – 4 handed)
SB checks, UTG bets, MP2 calls, Hero raises, SB folds, UTG calls, MP2 calls.

Final pot: 42.5 BB

Results:
Hero shows 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG mucks 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
MP2 mucks 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I wins! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
