Mine Dribbles (NC Thread)
 

After a string of impossibly long NC thread titles, we've now been reversing the trend. Does size matter, or is short the new long? Anyway, enjoy!

WOOKIE FOR MOD

Re: Mine Dribbles (NC Thread)
 

By the way, I've been in Henderson since Sunday and have yet to play any poker on the strip. I guess when I play I'll probably play 15/30 at the Wynn. I've got some more house set up to do and my parents are coming down to visit on Saturday, so I might not play until next week.

I also need to make sure I have cash because moving is an expensive thing to do.

I just pissed away 60bb in under an hour 4 tabling 0.5/1. Way to go me. Couldn't win a pot even if I flopped the nuts. River would always give someone a better hand.

Re: Mine Dribbles (NC Thread)
 

i posted a similar hand a while back entitled absolutely mashing it up and i think the consensus was when it's obvious the other guy has pair or better, then our doing this oop is slightly -ev.

there's a similar post in smallstakes right now with a low straightflush draw on an ace high board--worth checking out

Clearly boz must have misread his pattern mapper.

EDIT: As more content I like donking that flop for various reasons.

I'm actually thinking that had would be kinda worth discussing, if you wanna send me PM or AIM boz. Or turn it into a blind D post.

Too bad I didn\'t play this live...
 

...cause I would have won the lion's share of the bad beat jackpot.

Re: And this is even worse...
 

/content

I don't think I cap that heads-up OOP.

In fact, that hand, I'm pretty sure I c/c it down. In fact, I don't think there is a better way to play it. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Your flop raising might have an edge, but it can't be that big.

Especially if you can't hit one of about 18 outs - TWICE!.

Re: And this is even worse...
 

you're shortstacking nl50?

Expert Play...
 

I wasn't even involved in this hand... but it's an insta-classic. Just see for yourself...

Re: Serious Question (some content)
 

I'm wondering if y'all have noticed certain times that are better games online in general. I stayed up all night playing Monday - and from about 1am on, it was unbelievably juicy; and not the kind of juicy we look forward to these days, this was the best kind of juicy - loose, passive juicy. I've got a PT graph of my 2000 hands I played in that session - it looks like the inverse of Mile's monkey tilt graph. I ran at 8BB/100 for the 2000 hands, and it was only a little luck.

It just got me thinking, are there certain times when the majority of the solid tags are at work or getting wasted or something?
