I'm writing the questions for a game show, actually, and it's super fun and I can't wait til it airs (on ABC in December) so I can share my genius with 2+2. Also I am not officially a "writer." I am credited as "Game Producer" on this show. [/ QUOTE ] Is the name of this show "Medium Stakes Limit Holdem Tactictal Play?" |

Re: November Low-Content Thread
I played a hand so badly last night in the 15/30 at Hollywood Park that I'm going to post it, in the hopes that the shame will help me avoid doing it again in the future.
It was a fantastic game, everyone having a good time, all kinds of crazy suckouts happening. Villain in the hand is on my right, a very nice British guy who will play any two cards. He tends to raise with good hands (he's been showing me his hands all night when I'm not in the pot), but sometimes raises with crap too (beat me earlier when he capped with 35s and rivered two pair). A bunch of limpers, and Villain raises from the SB. In the BB, I call with 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Okay, I probably should have folded, but that's not the part I'm concerned about. Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB bets, I call [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] One other player calls, everyone else folds. Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (not sure about this card, but I know it was a club, and not a face card). SB bets, I call [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img], the other player calls too. River: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB bets, I call [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] The other guy folds, SB turns over KJo, and I win the pot. To say I was embarrassed to show the hand would be an understatement. |

Turn is where it is questionable, because are you playing for a flush or what here. River isn't horrible, because would a worse hand really pay off a raise? So I really only hate the turn. |

Your hand is obv good against that mexican guy. That was LOL funny when he raised your turn donk and then checks behind on the river when he makes top 2 pair with KQo The suckout was brutal, but really you should kiss him on the mouth for giving you a free showdown <3 hollywood park |

I'm also assuming I'd remember if I lost with aces like that, though I don't take anything for granted these days. Did you play in the main game though? I was in the 9 seat from 8:30 to 12:30 or so. |
