Official December Thread: General Discussion/etc
Twas the Night Before Christmas in the Poker Room
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the poker room, Not much was moving, quiet as a tomb, The chip racks were stacked on the side in a row, Hoping some good luck would fill them with dough; The players were sitting hunched in their seats, Telling their tales of all the bad beats, The dealer looked at me and ask, Do you plan to bet or will you pass? From out in the casino I heard a shout, I jumped from the two seat to see what was about, And what to my surprise did appear, A fat guy drinking a bottle of beer, He came into the room all in a bustle, No one guessed it might be a hustle, He slid into the six seat and yelled for a rack, Then looked around and said, "I'll leave when I've filled my sack," Through the air the cards did fly, Lady Luck had blessed this red suited guy, He played every hand never folding a one, The outcome was always the same, he won and won, When he had taken most of our chips, He said I'm going to give you some poker tips, I've played them all, the good and the great, And let me tell you I can relate, I've sat across from Hellmuth, Luske and Chan, Brunson, Nguyen, even a guy called Fossilman, They remind me of a boxer with a glass jaw, They can't even play me to a draw, Now please excuse me, I really must go, I gotta make a stop at the Bellagio, I left my Mercedes in their valet, Don't look so surprised, I traded the sleigh. I hope you all have a very prosperous year, I'll be back next Christmas to play right here, Maybe you should read a poker book or two, The way you play you don't have a clue, Under you're pillow tomorrow you must look, That's where I'll leave your copy of Brunson's book. And with that he turned and walked away, Have a Very Merry Christmas Day!

Re: Official December Thread: General Discussion/etc
Goals include but are not limited to:
Playing shorter sessions Not going on ace-high rebluff tilt (quite common) Focusing more on handreading Hitting lots of sets (quite key to success) [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] |

You tilted me, yo. [/ QUOTE ] I think you misplayed that hand and mdma agreed. Your turn shove was, in essence, a bluff b/c there were no worse flushes out there that would call you and you fold everything you beat. Also when you bet into the field with a flushdraw and I just call next to act, you HAVE to know that I either have the nutflush draw, the 2nd nut flush draw, or the queen for top pair. The queen doesnt raise the turn either unless it spikes an unlikely 2pair (which also folds to the shove). A better line for you to take would be to call my turn raise then check the river and call a reasonable bet. ALSO completing T2s in the SB multiway on your part is a leak.

Re: Official December Thread: General Discussion/etc
20k hands and play well against all the regulars who are at 2/4 and 3/6 now.
I also want to stop making stupid calls on the river when I KNOW I am beat.... then I think about it... find a reason to justify my call... and then lose. Repeat. It gets sickening. |
