  1. $2/5. Sit with $800 and wait two hands for button to pass. I would usually just jump right in, but I’m going to play super solid tonight and run this $800 up proper. UTG opens to $25. He appears to be tonight’s target as I know all the other players. Middle aged white dude, sitting on ~$1200. MP calls and I join in CO w 8d8s. No other callers. $75 pot. Qc8c4h. UTG bets $35. MP calls. Let’s juice this up a hair. I raise to $100. UTG calls quickly but sadly MP folds. $305 pot. Kh. UTG checks. I didn’t get the feeling he liked that card. Figure I’ll make it a price he can’t resist and bet out $125. He bites and we go to the river. $555 pot. 2h. Would have liked to boat up, but this looks like a good river for me. He checks and I see how he feels about $175. He jams. Tha fuck? The only thing that gets there is a back door flush. KK, QQ or KQ wouldn’t be so passive on that turn. It either has to be a flush or a bluff. Nothing about this guy suggests he’s able to make a bluff here. That said …. FUCK! I can’t really lay this down, right?!? Right!?! I call. He shows AhQh and I’m fucked on the first hand of the night. Off to play super solid on $2/2, I guess…
  2. I’ll have to miss this year. If you’re an MLife guy, Cosmo may be on it soon. That would be an ideal place to stay with easy access to Paris
  3. There were honest to god Tim Pool fans on this site not too many years ago. Just incredible
  4. I’d like to hear him explain what he thinks being thrown “under the table” means
  5. Whynotboth.gif
  6. Mastodon is good once you put in the effort to build your follow list. It will suck initially until you do.
  7. I believe the prevailing theory is that an excellent pro maxes out at about 20 big blinds per hour as an average over 1000+ hours. So, if you were willing to put in 40 hrs a week playing $2/5 (and had access to games that paid you that well throughout, Ie not nit games at 2pm on Tuesdays), you could expect to pull $200k year. To play $2/5, you want max buyin on the table, which can be anywhere from $500 to $1500. It’s $800 here in Jax. Your bankroll always needs to be more than 20 max buyins due to variance, so you’d want a starting bankroll of $15-30k at least. Probably double that to account for the inevitable swing of you playing bad (not just variance) $500k target would probably require you to very carefully select your games when picking your 40 hours (Ie 2am at a casino w a club) to try to pull it off at $2/5 Of course $5/10 or $10/25 will certainly pay a pro better, but obviously your competitors will be significantly better too. I’d guess these guys play a very whale-dependent schedule and your ability to get into those games is probably slim.
  8. Respect the passive aggressive game
  9. Ugh… the jury forewoman is a walking facepalm
  10. I’ve got to believe at some point singular smart roads will make more sense than various smart vehicles.
  11. That’s fucked up. Any speculation on why they took him?
  12. So, both sides covered? Funny that
  13. Not really, but since most tourney directors are only familiar w GHIN it’s easiest if you use that. Since the formula is open, GHIN competitors are available (like MyScorecard)
  14. I use MyScorecard, but don’t recommend it since their handicap, while accurate, is no longer on GHIN
  15. Exactly. The more forgiving club may not only save you tons of shots by giving you some value from your mishits, but also by getting you to stop trying to pull off shots you have no business attempting.
  16. Unless you are sub 5, workability is overrated, imo
  17. Sounds like a great game to me!
  18. Brooks needs a shrink
  19. How great is Collin with this walking interview
  20. Brutal runout at Aria $5/10 last night. I’m UTG straddle to $20. CO opens to $60. SB calls and I defend w J9o. $190 pot A T 7 rainbow. Check to CO who makes it $120. Only I call. $430 pot. 8. I check. He makes it $400, I decide to just call leaving $800 behind to let him jam me on river. $1230 pot A. I check. He bets $700. I just called and he flips 88. Pure nasty
  21. This this this. You’re flop game will improve so much if you can FIRST divorce yourself from your actual hand considering your perceived range, THEN consider your actual hand, before making your play. Just get in that habit even when the play you want to make is obvious.
  22. Exactly. The technology helps A TON. Especially for high handicappers that routinely miss the sweet spot
  23. That’s a very good deal and probably a good start for you if you are of average build. I saw one of the YouTube golf guys try that very set and he was impressed with it
  24. He was an unknown. I’d seen him make a few smart plays and decided he had seen enough of buttons aggression to make a play here with lesser hands, expanding his range beyond just AKs, KK+ I call, 8s 4s 2h was an above average flop. 5c doesn’t change anything. Ah gives me a lot of hope, but he flips over AA and I take the walk of shame to the parking lot. (PLO “session” saved the day)
