Lethe-#1 is way worse IMO. Only thing that made it worse for Hyperrrprank than mine is that some of us saw his hand after he had mucked and nobody but me saw mine.

+90 BB last night...getting close to moving up to 20/40!

2 highlights:

1 Limper, I raise JJ in MP, tricky, tough player hesitates for a few seconds and then 3 bets, button calls 3 , limper calls 2, I cap, all call. Right now I'm like 90% sure the limpers have mediocre broadway/low PP and the tricky player has 99-TT.

Flop is KcQcx. ugh. Limper checks, I check, it gets checked around.

Turn Qd. limper checks, i bet, tricky guy thinks for 5 seconds and raises, others fold. My read hasnt changed, I still think hes got 99-TT. I think about 3 betting but decide it would be pointless and I might be wrong anyway. Thus I call after some thought.

River As. yay. I check, he tanks for like a minute, then bets, I instacall, he says "your jacks are good" and mucks after I show.

He asks me how I can could call that. I say "cuz I know that you knew what I had." (which really doesnt make a lot of sense b/c thats how value betting is done, ldo. stupid comment by me).


2nd fun hand:

1 limper, I raise red nines, SB calls, limper calls.

Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

SB bets, limper folds, I raise, SB calls.

Turn 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB checks, I bet, he CR, I 3, he 4, I call, planning to raise a good river.

River is the lol J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] He bets and I fold with a lol. He shows me a K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and says he has AK (nice KJ sir).


it was a fun night!

So I'm down over 3 thousand dollars to this guy. I won't get even a quarter of it back before he donks it off to someone else. He'll always be up on me. Poker makes me cry blood daily.

Anyway, the real reason for my visit to the SSLHE NC thread was to say I took on JJH3984 in a HU game a little while ago and I recorded some of it on video.

If you enjoy HUHU poker, and are bored and would like to discuss our game with JJH and I, please watch our video and discuss it in this thread. Please criticise the play, I am a beginner keen to get better.

I reckon this screenshot of the first hand is humourous. Better if I had aces though.



Also, that's play money. We're not actually playing 20/40. We were playing for like 50 bucks.

Just wanted to let y'all know that I didn't die in a fiery toaster accident or anything. Working a regular day job again sucks, by the way...it's a good job overall, but this whole having to wake up at a set time for something other than a poker tournament thing blows. As does actually having to drive to work.

My bankroll is pretty much non-existent, although I haven't decided if I'm truly busto or not; technically I never lost my monies, I just had to pull them all out for incidental expenses like food & rent. Well, I still have like $200 on FTP & Stars. Combined.

Today marked 30 consecutive days without playing a hand for me, so of course I commemorated the occasion (I probably spelled both of those words wrong) by playing 400 hands. I figured I'd be rusty, but GB .25/.50 for taking postflop play out of the game. Up 58 BBs for the session; I plan to take my winnings to Denny's.

Anyway, I just missed you guys so I figured I'd drop by & say hello. Oh, guess I have to post a hand or something...gawd, I love people who slowplay teh nutz all the way to the river:

Full Tilt Poker
Limit Holdem Ring game

Exact same story here; although, I enjoy my job. I'm really bored with poker nowadays. I can't stay focussed in these micro-limit games; it bores me to death. I have $500 left on stars, and I just play some games occasionally.

So... just saying 'hello' [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Perhaps in the future I'll play again. So far I'm really enjoying my extended break from poker. I'm getting more work/research done, I'm going out and meeting friends more, I feel less stressed out all the time, and probably most important I don't feel like a constant loser who can't even beat .5/1. I even started working out again.

A pair of "I don't play poker any more and am much happier for it" posts....just what I need to read [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Seriously though, the reason I don't play limit online is because every time I did in the past I wanted to shoot myself in the face. You guys should try playing live; you get human interaction AND worse players [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Live &amp; worse players still equals wanting to shoot yourself in the face sometimes. Last night I played a really juicy 2/4 table, lottsa big pots and horrific players (a couple players would play every hand, another at 80%, another at 70%, some really loose raising; it was beautiful). I considered myself lucky only losing 42 BB in the 4.75 hours I played (winning 3 hands). Variance is fun.

[jesse8888]

Don't give up Gobbley (yikes....i just for the first time noticed the D in your screen name). Also, don't shoot yourself in the face; who will talk to me after Kit moves up to 20/40 tomorrow afternoon?

It's much more satisfying to shoot others in the face. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
