so youre saying i have like 1-2 year longer life expectancy than i did when i weighed 235? thats not so bad especially since as mike l knows, i regularly contract laundry lists of diseases every time i play in a poker game bc of how bad everyone plays. the 6k pot where the guy tried to stack off against me last night gave me pneumonia imo. considering how i feel right now i wouldnt be surprised if i woke up dead tomorrow. also a pretty good chance i die tomorrow at the mall in a stampede if i somehow wake up bc i really wanna buy a new belt and sweatshirts and i am legitimately stupid enough to try and go buy something tomorrow somewhere.

I got my rear end bashed in at super soft, stupid easy $15-30 and $10-20 games in Vegas. Two losing sessions of 35+BB in games where I was a ridiculous favorite.

Your posts made me feel better.

Bay101 20/40:

Fish limps in EP, I raise in MP, folded back to fish who calls.

He stares at my face and checks dark. I bet dark.

Flop is A-J-3. He continues to stare at me studying my reaction and without looking at the flop he calls.

Turn is a blank. He still continues to stare at me and checks without looking at the board. I bet. He finally decides it might be good to see what's on the board and looks. He decides that now would be a good time to fold.

I laugh at him.

I can't beat 40/80. I play hands poorly like this when I should check raise the turn if my read is right.....

I raise UTG with AK and a loose player calls, and everyone folds. The flop comes J92, and I decide to try something different and check, hoping he sees that as strength, but no, he bets, so I call. Turn comes a 5, no suits, and I check/call again. River comes an 8, and I lose to Qh8h.....CHECK RAISE THE TURN YOU IDIOT

well if it makes you feel any better you played it absolutely terrible.

Hollywood park 15/30

every 3 months or so, almost like clockwork, I feel the need to set 4bb on fire. I don't really tilt much at all in the intervening period.

I raise 73o from the CO because Button is telegraphing a fold. I manage to talk sb out of a call when I say "don't think about it" as he is mulling over a call. BB calls.

A note on BB. He is the most maniacal insane betting station of all time. He will literally betcall with bottom pair on 4th AND 5th, getting raised each time. He limps AJs preflop, calls every street on a scary board with no pair and no draw, and then bets the river UI when checked to in a 4 way pot.

Flop A58 2 tone. He donks. I raise. he calls.
Turn is a 6 which opens up a 2nd flushdraw and gives me an OESD. He bets. I raise. he calls.
River is an ace. He checkcalls and shows A4o. I rack up and leave on my next BB.

My thoughts on the flop were "wow did I really just raise that PF?" and then "ok this guy absolutely cannot be bluffed. What am I doing in this hand? This is gonna be the most expensive thing ever"

and then I morphed into Rambo.

I was feeling physically ill at the time, and moreso afterwards. Farewell $120. It was nice knowing you.

Good spot to use a tight image:

Comm. 20/40
BB had been pretty quiet for 3-4 hours up to this hand, playing tight and TAGfishy. He is the red-head who is bald on top except for a few hairs, is very red in the face and seems to know the regulars.

SB is a solid LAGTAG who I know plays higher and is a possible 2p2er.

Preflop: MP limps, SB raises, BB 3-bets AQo, MP calls, SB caps, MP calls.

Flop: 955r
SB bets, BB raises, MP calls, SB 3-bets, BB caps and says "you guys will figure it out soon enough", MP calls, SB calls.

Turn: Q
SB checks, BB checks, MP checks.

River: Q
SB bets, BB raises, MP folds, SB thinks for about 5 seconds and calls and mucks when BB shows without saying a word.

I find out later that SB had AA. LOL Flop-equity/action!

People who act out of turn are awesome....

It is a kill pot in my 20/40 game, so the stakes are 30/60...a guy who has about $100 left raises preflop, and the killer announces reraise...but at Casino AZ they have to act after the BB, so his action is removed. Everyone starts talking about he lost action, and since I am BB and play pretty loose, I point to my BB and say, you lost a TON of action. It is folded to me, and I see KK, and cold call, he raises, and I cap... and other player is all in.

The player isn't the type to 3 bet with AK, so when the flop comes A high, I know I am either way ahead or seeking runner runner flush or quads. So I get to value bet KK to the river and he turns over JJ and the all in guy thought he was killed cause he has AT...no wonder they are confused by me when I bet KK all the way, and then fold JJ face up on a 9 high board....I PWN

so get to oceans early afternoon after making that post. they will not cash 5k commerce chips for me. fantastic. $90 in cash in my wallet and 20k in commerce chips = cant play poker. so im steaming which naturally means i get on the freeway to commerce and im planning to just play there. DD calls me when im like 15 minutes away from commerce to say hes about to be at oceans and he can buy chips from me. running good today at life as you can see. i obviously just keep going to commerce where after 5 minutes of waiting and not getting a seat in 40, 60, 1/2 holdem or stud or 10/20 nl i just cash out some chips to get 8k cash and frustratedly get back on the road and go to oceans where DD has texted me that they started a 75 game. the fun part of this text is that i reply to him while driving 80ish on the freeway. texting while driving is safe right? the game is good bc as usual nobody understands how to play any variation of poker. crazy mike makes a guest appearance which was fun. i also relearned for the 500th time that DD is just too good bc he literally did the thing i did not want him to do in all but 1 or 2 hands and the times he did what i wanted him to do the pot was gigantic so against my whole range he made the correct decision for sure. i had a hand that i thought was really interesting strategywise but i have unfortunately forgotten it at the moment [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

so here is the hand i will contribute instead. 10/10 nl 2k buyin about 2k deep. i went to this game after the 75 broke bc it looked good and i wasnt tired enough to quit playing. 3 handed villain is a fish but thinking just enough. he basically calls lots pf and folds lots postflop. i straddle button, tight guy 3bets to 60 in sb like he has done past 3 hands after folding like 10 straight times before that. fish calls the 60, i raise to 200 straight with 63o. sb folds, fish calls.

flop QJ5r
he checks i bet i think like 240, he c/r to 600, i shove after thinking about 3 seconds. he deliberates and folds, i show, he loses his mind bc he had a jack supposedly which is obviously a great hand to c/r on this flop.

i really never know if i did a smart thing shoving here or if i randomly got lucky. i know i felt sorta sick about it right after i did it and wished i had at least 98 for a gutshot or something.
