Guest alex Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 tsk tsk tsk but I DO know a lot - a real polymath I am - and I watch a lot of them documentaries and quiz games plus of course I was educated when they expected you to larn sommat I wouldn't disagree. Not about poker though, so stop pretending you do. You just look silly when you don't let things lie and you cannot admit you're wrong - ever (I realise the former is probably a pretty ironic comment coming from me but I'll admit it when I'm wrong).

adios 717 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 I was playing on bodog last night, all-in fest left me on the bubble having paid to see maybe one flop, so I typed "Jesus Wept", up comes "* Wept", I then typed "Muhammad Wept" which came up "Muhammad Wept", so that was nice. )£$#$ Wept!

Gemmill 35102 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Was watching a heads up game on full tilt earlier - $200/$400 limit heads up. Mike Matusow vs. someone unknown. He was fairly cleaning them out. The money that was changing hands is fucking mind boggling. I would even begrudge losing my blinds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 0 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Who gets up that early to post on a forum ? Whats Matusows name on full tilt? I always look for the pros but can never find them. On pokerstars, Negraenu and Raymer had a massive arguement the other week, legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35102 Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 His name is just Mike Matusow. I think on Full Tilt they stick with their real names if they're sponsored by the site, so that people know who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adios 717 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Played my first MTT last night on PokerStars, it was the first round of three rounds for a seat at the 2.5m Bahamas final, free to enter. 5,500 entered, 50 through to round 2, 4 hours later I finished 67th, ouch! Good learning experience, though, I recommend anyone who's not done one give it a go, very different to an SnG, and it's free to enter when you sign up to PokerStars.

adios 717 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 4 hours. Do you get many breaks in all that? Good effort btw. Cheers, didn't feel like it when I went out! I was 13th with 100 left, should have got the top 50, never been there before, so didn't know how to play it from there. Learnt a lot from it, though, and I'll do another round 1 probably this week. 5 minutes break every hour, concentration was waning towards the end, though. It started at 8.30, so I was still at it at 1.30 in the morning. Back reading Sensai Dan this morning to see where I went wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark 0 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Ok, just thought I'd post a hand I just played. 25cents-50cents NL cash game 10 seater table. I'm on the button with AK diamonds, there is a minimum raise 3 seats from the button, I reraise to $2, and get two callers, the person who raised, and someone in middle position, who had just limped. Flop come 9 8 A. Its checked around to me, I raise half the pot $4. Middle position limper calls, other guy folds. I think they could be slow playing mabye, or they have ace rag. The turn is an ace, giving me trips with king kicker, its checked to me once again, and I bet $5 into a $15 pot, a quick call and the river is a 5. No flush possiblitys, a potential straight, but I ruled that out as anyone holding 6 7 would not have called. This time the person raises all in $26. I put them on 99 or 88, giving them a full house, then I think they could also have trip aces, but my kicker betters them. I call, they show pocket 8's, and win the pot with a full house. Just wondering what everyone else would have done in that situation? I lost $40 in that hand, but still $20 up for the session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35102 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I don't think I would have been able to lay it down in a tournament. I don't play cash games enough to know how I would have reacted to a $26 all-in bet with trip Aces and a king kicker. Seems to me that it's maybe just one of those unfortunate hands that you're destined to lose a canny bit of money on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark 0 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I thought about laying it down, my instincts told me he had 99 or 88. I'm very good at reading people online, but I just couldnt lay it down. I've turned that $9 free from WPT on pokerroom into $158, could have been $200 if it wasnt for that hand.

Mark 0 Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I tried to raise abit more on the turn, ($8) but the slider thing was doing my head in, and would only let me select $10 or $5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my keyboard to type values, saves complication. I don't think many would argue with your move. Have you read much on the subject? I think the general thinking would be if you made that play 10 times you'd be well up. Obviously the read of your opponent is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the general thinking would be if you made that play 10 times you'd be well up. Obviously the read of your opponent is important. Reads at .25/.50 are pretty unimportant, you can pretty much just play ABC and win. The importatnt thing is definately that if you played he same cards the same way every time you would be winning. Every now and again a donk will have a hand that beats you, it cant be helped. I stay away from the slider as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 35102 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 There's a link to Brunson's Super System 2 online on the 2+2 forums btw. The entire text. I would never buy it because there's too much in there non-Hold Em related, but it's there anyway, if anyone fancies a read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
