I'd be up sooooo much today if I believed the 19/14 guys every time they reraise me out of their blinds.

I wasn't saying that Baluga theorem is not valid anymore. But I think it's essential to be able to identify those people, who use this move as a (semi-)bluff. And that happens more often than many people on this forum think, imo. Actually, I have trouble coming up with an example that I could be using this move as a bluff myself, because I will hardly ever be oop playing the passive part unless I got reraised and decided to call. And then stack sizes and pot size and the strength of my hand in the first place demand a different play. It's just that there is a lot of semi-bluff-raising going on and you need to identify these spots, imo, esp. when there is a flush-draw on the board...

I have a sign on my head that says try to run me over. So I let them try.

Coaching session helped me, I'm playing much better and I AM better, though I only went break even. Wasn't even paying attebntion to my stats, but ran 25/21/3 with 43 ASB. Felt normal though.

BTW, I want to buy my friend's name off of FT. If I transfer the money from my name on to that account, and start playing on it, FT's gonna notice, right? Is there a way to do this?

[Genz]

Did you have history with villain so that you thought it was a good idea to check this Dorado of a flop for a suited connector or a medium PP? I play as passively myself from time to time against some villains. But I'd really be a little scared by this board...

Can't you just ask the support if they'll give you another screen name? I think Stars and/or Party allows this once a year or so. Or do you want his FT-Points? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] And i don't know why they should notice anything. Transfer the money, get a new IP, connect and play. How the hell should they now it's you? But you can't play on both accounts at the same time, obv.

[prodonkey]

nope.. he was just a tag fish and way agressive.. 23/20/5. 2 hands later someone else triple barreled me with a gutshot when I had trips. Just how the table was playing, bet bet bet bet.

I have a ton of points I've never used (11k I think, well, prolly not a ton but whatevs) so naw.

How do I get a new IP? I'm a n00b when it comes to that. PMsies?

[BishopsFinger]

i really wanted to shove this turn but i figured i had literally zero FE. whats would you guys assign as a realistic range for this guy. no reads.
