  1. Looking for a new ball marker. Hoping someone in Austin area can grab it if you see it and ship to Florida. I’ll pay, obviously!

    Metal so it sticks to standard magnetic marker holders

    Two sided with different colors. I like to use one side as main and other side when someone asks me to move it… the color reminds me to move it back

    Ideally Horns logos. My last one was white on orange on one side and orange on white for the other.

    I’d happily take 2 or 3 as I will inevitably lose one again

    When I lived in Austin seemingly every club had these, but of course not here in Florida. Everything I’ve found online is one sided (or lacks pics to show alternative side)

    Thanks in advance!

  2. In Brad Owens most recent video he announced that hes selling pieces of his upcoming tournaments on poker stake at 0 markup.
     
    Not saying hes a great tourney player, but hes had some pretty big cashes in the last year.

    Yeah I saw and thought that too. Not a bad bet
  3. I played a hand last night that has me thinking this morning. I'll try to keep this short. 
    $1/$2 NLH home game while watching the fight. Villain is effective stack with $210. 9-handed.
    This is a group I've played with for years, and I know the villain to be a LAG who likes to bluff, but he almost never overbets.
    Anyway, UTG+1 open limps, I raise to $8 UTG+2 with two black Queens, and Villain in cutoff raises to $25. I call.
    Flop is J-7-5 two diamonds (with J of diamonds). Check, Bet $45, Call.
    Turn is 7, no backdoor draw. Check, Bet $60, Call.
    River is J, no flush available. Check, Bet $80 (all-in), and I basically snap call. 
    Villain turns over A-K offsuit, no diamond, and QQ is good.  
    This was a pretty easy decision for me, given my opponent and our history. But is this a good call against a rock? Am I ever folding this hand to anyone? I need roughly 30% equity on the flop, 25% equity on the turn, and 20% equity on the river.
    A harder decision would have been if he shoved the turn. It is extremely rare for this villain to make a pot-sized bet after the flop. 
    I guess my question is, with 100 BB effective stacks, is QQ always calling? Do I partially fold QQ if I have a diamond?

    I can’t find a fold anywhere here
  4. Good points. If someone had a set in the board I hit my flush on they might still pay in hopes that I was betting the river because of something that happened on the other board. Irony there is that if I hit BOTH boards I might not get any action at all!

  5. I went with B) Call, but I think A) Fold was proper in retrospect.

    I’m paying $50 to win $225 on each board, so need to win 22% of the time for that to be +ev. Assuming I have 10 outs, that’s only 20%, and any hit on one board dilutes the other.

  6. $2/5, $25 double board bomb pot.  All 8 play, so $200 pot to the flop

    I have As7s on the BTN

    Ks 5c 2d

    Jh 4s 3d

    Checks completely around

    Ks 5c 2d 8s

    Jh 4s 3d Ts

    I go from complete air to 2 nut flush draws.

    SB leads out $100 and is called by UTG.  Both have $1k and have my $600 covered.  Everyone else folds to me.

    A) Fold

    B) Call $100

    C) Raise to $300

    D) Jam $600

  7. Booked July 3 - 10 in hopes of playing another Main Event.  Should allow me to take 2-3 shots at satellites.

    Park MGM is dirt cheap that week if anyone is looking.  With comp days etc I'm paying like $200 for the whole week and get $150 in food comps to offset most of that.

  8. $1/2 PLO.  UTG straddles to $5, MP makes it $15, BTN calls, I call in SB w Ac Kh Jd 6c, BB calls and UTG quickly calls.  $75 pot

    Ad 6h 6s.  Check to UTG who donks out $60.  MP folds (the only one likely to have AA) as does BTN.  I call, BB folds.  $195 pot

    9c.  I check, UTG quickly pots it.  I have $525 behind and jam (he has me covered) ...

    **this is where it gets interesting**

    The dealer flips the All-In card at me.  As I'm pushing out my chips, I see the Call card get flipped to UTG.  I had my airpods in so I didnt hear what was said and was looking at my chips so I didnt see what (if anything) UTG did either.  Regardless, I did see the Call card get tossed out, and I showed the A6.  UTG fairly quickly claims he did not in fact call, I believe after he saw my A6.  Dealer (a good one) takes full responsibility and says it was his mistake throwing the call card out.  Dealer apologizes profusely and offers to call the floor, but I know they're going to say it wasn't a call and I shouldn't have shown my cards.  I yield and UTG folds his hand.  

    It was already getting late and I knew I'd tilt if I kept playing so I racked up and left.

    On the ride home I start to convince myself that he wasn't calling anyway.  Is there any hand you would play as UTG did that would pot then call my all in other than AAXX, A9XX or another A6XX?  Super slim chance K6XX does, but I'm holding a K to reduce those odds.

    Do I NOT jam there?!  Is my best play on turn to just call and hope he fires a third barrel and hope he doesnt out boat me?

  9. 1/2 PLO
    $5 open and one caller. I call in SB with
    Ad Qh Jc 3d

    BB makes it $20 and we all call. $80 pot

    Kd Td 6s

    Ever flop it so good you can TASTE it?!

    Chk. BB makes it $25. One caller. I chk raise to $125. Only BB comes along. $365

    4c wasn’t the card I was looking for, but figure I could push BB off his hand with a pot bet. Nope he shoves his last $100 over top. I call and he shows KKxx. Oops?

    $1300 pot going to the river

    Js completes my broadway nuts and BB storms off

    That was a bit of a roller coaster

  10. I like how you played it the whole way.

    Probably a good fold. Not too many lower limit players are willing to bluff a 100bb stack on river, and two pair almost certainly wouldn’t raise you.

    Since it’s the very beginning of your session, I’d be even more inclined to fold, not having any idea if this is the rare player willing to make a bold bluff here
