players are much much better. that's why they play 80% of their hands, they just play so damn well postflop.

also just finished the second paper and am about to print them both out. life is good.

I have written 4 papers in law school and have 2 due this semester. For a profession that requires so much writing you would think they would give you a little practice. I was a much better writer in undergrad.

the darwin/watson paper is supposed to be 8-10 pages but he also said 1800-2k words and im at 600 words = 2 pages right now so obv im just going to write like 1800 words exactly then [censored] with font/margins to get it as close to 8 pages without making it look absurd.

You sound like my students. BTW your teacher notices this stuff, he/she just doesn't care. Weird thing to be 23 and teaching 18-21 year olds. Also your right about the Darwin book. It sucks.

HOWMANY 11-29-2007 01:18 AM

Re: November Low-Content Thread
 
ya i dont really care if he notices. his fault for saying 1800-2k words and 8-10 pages when a page holds about 300 words. plus since i wrote too much it went on to the 8th page anyway so w/e.

i think going back to the darwin book to get some stuff to cite gave me typhus, the book is just too brutal to put into words.

yes. "international orienteering federation" and "world orienteering championships" would have been good phrases. you could also mention that it "originated in scandinavia"

wtf
 
Live 30 game. A million bets go in preflop, and 5 people see the flop. Flop is 8 9 10r. A million bets go in on the flop 4 ways. Turn is Q and it gets checked through..LOL. River is 8 9 10 Q (6). EP bets and gets 3 overcalls. 77>QQ>99>88

Tweedle Dum raises in EP, Tweedledee raises in MP, I cold cap JJ. Flop is A 6 2. check/check/bet TweedleDum calls, other mucks. TD check calls a blank turn. River goes check check, and MHIG. Tweedledum turns over 1010, and says confusedly,"wow. I thought you had an Ace"

***LOW-CONTENT QUESTION***

What's the biggest pot you've taken down preflop? My personal record comes from a live 20-40 game. Limp, raise, I 3-bet and all fold.

This exact situation happened to me twice in one night back in the summer. What kinda idiot raises and folds to a 3bet preflop?

Re: Question
 
wow this was awesome. so i'm in discussion for a class and at the end people are asking stupid questions about the reading to which the answer would be obvious if they had opened the book (and in some cases if you just weren't retarded). it's like the last or second to last section before the final so i ask "is there going to be a useful study guide for the final and like not a terrible one like we had for the midterm?"

her response: "i didnt think it was terrible. in fact i wrote it"

oops

for someone who talks so little i sure find ways to make myself look like a douche really often

btw i have raise/folded pf in limit holdem for 1 bet at least once. i raised blind on the button when quiet saleem was small blind and a tight player was big blind. since you dont know who quiet saleem is you should understand that if you are button on his bb you do not need to look at your cards when it folds to you. if he is sb you do not need to look as long as the bb will fold sometimes. anyway i raise, quiet saleem 3bets, i see like 92o and fold. i vaguely remember doing it another time but don't remember the situation.

Scores--

Don't forget the dead money from the limper who already folded. There are some isolated stories of people raise/folding preflop in LHE for good reasons, but that was certainly not one of them. And sure as hell not when I'm the one 3-betting.

I posted a hand months months, maybe years? back where utg limped, co raised, I 3-bet, blinds folded, guy asked if I would show if he folded. So he did and I did.

ship it pls 11-29-2007 10:17 PM

Re: Question
 
i am quite confident nobody has ever folded to me on the flop for one bet, let alone preflop... i can count on one hand the times i have been able to 'steal' the blinds - it must be a strange poker life to not end up with at least three payoffs when you make a hand... but take a pot down preflop, wtf is that?

back in the day, my first shot at online 15/30, a guy opened the button, I 3 balled A9o in the sb, bb folded, and btn folded. Wooot. wooot.

Re: Question
 
I am sure there should be a case where there are two people posting missed blinds, both blinds post, and there is a kill pot posted....but it hasn't happened to me. That would be 6 bigblinds in the pot before the cards are dealt.

My personal best was not pf, where I match you guys, but rather on the flop. UTG weak tight raises, moron in the CO 3bets, I cap the button with AK. Moron BB calls, UTG calls, moron CO calls. Flop is raggedy as it gets. All check to me. I fire, all fold. LOL.

Re: Question
 
I suck at poker...I raise in LP with 22 and BB calls as he always does when I raise. Flop comes:
T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
He checks, I bet, he calls. Him calling means very little, since he would never checkraise regardless of his holding.

Turn comes 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
He checks, and I check behind. River comes a 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] He checks, I am about to bet, but as he checks he makes a comment about having two pair, and I am scared of like 77, so I check behind. He shows 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. The dealer pushes the two T's and the 3 up for two pair. I correct the dealer and announce he has T's and 6's with a 4 kicker, hoping he will turn his hand over and muck it. Five more seconds go by and I open my hand and he gets the pot...

It's better to win big pots preflop without 3betting.

Limper, I raise, CO poster folds, blinds fold, limper folds.

"What kinda idiot raises and folds to a 3bet preflop? "

There used to be this young-ish jock-ish pale white guy in the HG 30 game who would do things like openraise his button and fold to a SB 3-bet.

But I've raised and folded to a 3-bet before, it was something like A9 and the 3bettor had position and a range of like 3%. I've also had a good player fold to my 3-bet pf, although he had never seen me before and his fold was incorrect given my actual range.

Re: Question
 
Played 20/40 limit for 6 hours today at Commerce. Ended up folding the winner on 5 different occasions. This is no doubt an all-time record for LA's Friendliest Casino, CoCo's pre-flop AA folds notwithstanding.

Re: Question
 
so i was on tilt and drove back to santa barbara.

first one stacks like 1600 get it in with T9 on 387J vs J8 river 8

next one AdKd vs ??? Kx7x5d3d7x after i pot flop 2/3 pot turn and 2/3ish river he raises riv i throw up fold and he shows me a 7 so he had 7h6h or Ah7h for some absurd suckout

then standard flush overflush cooler where i try to steal with 8s6s on KQ7r 1 spade and somehow As3s not only manages to find a peel to my pot size bet OOP but also manages to make backdoor flush bigger than mine but i'm so [censored] good i lost barely anything once he got there. also he was either bluffing or had a better flush so it wasnt so tough.

also played 1 hand like [censored] bc we were like 5k deep and once its >3k deep im basically lost and confused and i missed prob like 500-1k in value depending on how big pot was and how much i would/should have bet
