xSCWx : Are those your sharkscope stats?

I think we should all join in on helping Vinetou with his calling stationism.

Sort of like AA, except it is calling station's named.

I always feel like a total donk when I make that call and get shown K8 or some [censored] like that.

The all-in just looks so damn weak from most people that I end up calling a lot though. Even with second pair good kicker, sometimes.

:/

[Vinetou]

Dave, it is different in SNG's. In SNG's, even against a nit, top pair is a great hand. Against nits in HUCASH, this is not the case, because stacks are deeper and they play on scared money. I made another bad call today and the problem is that I know he has me beat but I still call. I am not advocating folding top pair against most villains, just against nits. And there are a lot of nits in HUcash, because they can get away with that style.

[daveT]

Well, when I can afford it, I will be moving to cash, no doubt.

[Unknown Soldier]

sorry for the n00b question, but with SAGE do you count the number of bb's you have before the blinds are posted or after?

thanks.

[TNixon]

Pretty sure it's before. Look up the article, if you want to be sure. They do specify it there. I'm just too lazy to do the search for you, and I don't care enough to know myself, because I don't apply it religiously anyway. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Fourth hand of a 6 I just played:

Villain has 44

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (2 handed)

Button (t1660)
Hero (t1340)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t40</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1660</font>, Hero calls t1220 (All-In).

Flop: (t3000) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Turn: (t3000) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t3000) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t2680

I just gotta keep telling myself that this is why a retarded monkey can beat this level. Although the jury's still out on whether or not I can.

[Unknown Soldier]

oops missed it 1st time, it's after

why don't you apply it religiously? since it's optimal.

Don't listen to someone who says you need a 54% win-rate to beat the rake .

You count the number of bb's AFTER you post the blinds .
