so wait.. who's at a micro table looking to donke off some money?

Re: ** Official July Chat Thread: The Black Swan **
 

Ugh.

Idiotic moron who plays every hand makes a huge raise.

I re-raise with JJ. He shoves, everyone else folds of course, I call.

He rivers a 7, and then INSTA-leaves.

Tilted me sooooo much.

EDIT: I forgot to mention his hand. 77, duh.

Re: ** Official July Chat Thread: The Black Swan **
 

I dunno, everyone says FT is most rigged.

My biggest pot lost in terms of BB's was at FTP.

I opened 66 from the CO, BB re-raised. BB had about 220BB and I had him covered. I called. Flop came K-6-3. He made a huge bet, much more than the pot. I put him on AA and raise obv. He shoved and I-snap call, expecting to see AA. Turn = A.

GG.

They do! I wonder why anyone plays there. Guess we are all conspiracy theorists at heart. Everytime my KK hits AA I think PS is rigged. I swear it seems like it happens far more than is statistically possible, but I know my sample size is far to teeny to be relevant.

Guess the FT being rigged thing is just part of 2+2 culture. This site is RICH with culture!

it's all about inspiring oneself

here is my daily mantra

Well, MT2R is not a thinker. MT2R is a driver. He is a do-er, and that's what you need to do. You don't need to think. You need to drive. You need speed. You need to go out there, and you need to rev your engine. You need to fire it up. You need to grab ahold of that line between speed and chaos, and you need to wrestle it to the ground like a demon cobra. And then, when the fear rises up in your belly, you use it. And you know that fear is powerful, because it has been there for billions of years. And it is good. And you use it. And you ride it; you ride it like a skeleton horse through the gates of hell, and then you win, MT2R. You WIN! And you don't win for anybody else. You win for you, you know why? Because a man takes what he wants. He takes it all. And you're a man, aren't you? Aren't you?

well, much like Pynchon, I won't go ahead and state it. It's upto you the reader.

However, unlike Pynchon, I'll throw out some plausible things.

I could be talking about, as one reply noted, the beauty and grace of the swan and how it ties into our poker.

I could be referring to Nassim Nicholas Taleb's latest book that discusses the impact of the highly improbable.

I could be making light of the swans sexual and cohabitation tendencies, mainly how they will pair up into homosexual couples in heavily contested territories.

etc, etc, etc

Two resons why i didnt bet:

1. I was struggling to put him on a 8. He checked two street on a really wet board and then bets pot when a couple of draws actually complete....

2. A re raise would have seriously sucked.


BTW could you be so kind as to make a new thread explaining the "dont bluff me" hand you posted earlier. I think i could learn a lot from it because it looks like major spew from here, lol.

We had some history.

I put him on pretty much what he had (A-x).

I thought if he had a hand he wanted to show down there he would have check-called river, and if he had a GREAT hand he would have check-raised.

Re: ** Official July Chat Thread: The Black Swan **
 

I was playing a 1.10 MTT last night and was down to about 21 people. I was in 20th because I had been running around mingling with people and drinking letting myself blind away, because there was a party at my house and [censored]. So I'm a little drunk and this girl shows up that im dating, and I tell here i'm deep in this MTT and of course she goes, "Let me play for you!" Me being pussy whipped, I of course say, "OK". So anyways she does everything I tell her for a while and I manage to double up to about 50k.

Fast forward to me getting knocked out. A couple people limp and I wake up with an Ace in SB. Being the short stack I tell here to shove all in, she moves the mouse around a little acting like she doesnt know how, then Min-raises. I was like NOOOOOOOOO, as my all in would have been 1/3 of big stacks chips and if he called, it would have been horrible. Anywho, of course he flops 2nd pair and puts me on probly somthing like 1010, then spikes 2 pair on the river. Standard!!
