I came to the conclusion that anyone who lives in the US and played on Stars today got doomswitched.

I saw things today that were beyond the realm of uNL. It was like people were making pretend to play virtual poker for play money when it came down to putting a value on their money.

Would have been amazing session but the doomswitch was on full blast heh.

Well, I'm back home after two months in the bush and no poker. Anyone wanna give me a quick rundown of relevant poker happenings in the last little while (New poker legislation, hilarious grimstarr hijinx, it's all good)

[HBomb]

Welcome back Xanta, don't really know you too well, but you're making it sound like you're a regular poster here which is good.

[Xanta]

Meh, I posted a lot here for a couple months and then up and left entirely. I have a lot of time on my hands in the next month or so and I'd love to post a ton of strat here and in SSNL as well.

[HBomb]

As for my poker, does anyone else swing as much as me? Last night (July 3rd into morning of July 4th) I went on a 12+ buyin "downswing" at $25 NL, I simply couldn't win.. I had KK run into AA I remember vividly for one stack, and I was able to get KK against AJ on a J10x flop where he hit an A on the river for another stack... and I also lost a $93 pot with AA to QQ on a Qxx flop in which I just called his bets and river was a Q and he had QQ... go figure...

Here's my last 7,000 hands at $25 NL the past couple of days... basically I went down like 12 buyins or so yesterday, and then now I'm on like a 17 buyin up swing.. lol

Brag or beat? Lost 12+ buyins in one night at $25 NL, only to win back all of it including almost up 16 buyins my last 5k hands.









Here's the 5 biggest pots I've been in or seen at my tables in at $25 NL since July 2nd (12,000+ hands), 5th biggest to biggest...

Here's my complete 4th of July hands


I think I have AntonHeat beat when he posted a 15 buyin upswing... here I'm showing about a 16-17 buyin upswing in just 1 day... so sick eh?

[HBomb]

For what it's worth, I seriously thought I was going to go bust after losing hands like these yesterday for 240+ BB pots..


Does everyone reading this go broke on these hands?

OMG that deep stacked SB is certainly the biggest retart I've ever seen. I wonder what your plan for the turn was if the board didn't pair, though.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think you're being a bit harsh. 350 BBs deep, is it still going to be the best plan to shove a pair and nut flush draw into the other deep stack? It seems likely that that's only going to get you action when you're drawing to 9 outs facing redraws, whereas playing it the other way, it's entirely possible that the 7 is a clean out. The guy did hit trips top kicker with a nut flush draw on the turn, and while it's not clear that's a hand you should stack with here it definitely doesn't seem utterly retarded. Just seems like more of a cooler to me.

[/ QUOTE ]

I didn't see that he hit trips. I thought he pushed a mere flushdraw. So I have to revise my statement.
