    No worries, just matters when we are looking at the math. Definitely a different story going to a $1400 pot with $600 back than a $2100 pot with $500 back. Working against us is our pot odds are worse, so we need more equity when called. Working for us is that the bet is bigger, both in raw $ and compared to the pot, so we have more fold equity. I'd prob check here with the different pot size and given no diamonds. 

    If your opp jammed and showed you JT, you would need to call $600 to win $2000 more so we need 6/26 or 23% equity. We have 23.3% vs his exact hand. So just slightly over break even on the $ going in on the flop, so don't feel too bad about it at all. 

    Thanks!  I appreciate you working through the math.

    You said 7 people called the $31, so that should be 8x31 is $248 ignoring blinds. For you to pot would be $310 (to calculate pot you put in the call, then raise the amount of the pot). If there were only 6 callers (so the $31 raiser and six more so 7 people), pot raise is $279. No one is calling $200 pre with JTo to fold top pair lol. 

    If the raise was $200 called 6 ways, it's closer, but check-folding equity away is brutal in a massive massive pot. You had almost 30% equity against JT, assuming one diamond was on the flop. 

    Yeah, my raise was $200 even, I used "pot" in the writing as shorthand.  Sorry for the confusion.

    At some point, can't fold tho, we have $500 back and there is over $2000 in the pot. Dunno if there was a diamond or not on flop (75% chance based on post ha).  If we are never going to fold no matter what, I'd rather jam and get folds from hands like 66 or QT or whatever rather than let them realize their non-zero equity. Agree, it's a terrible spot either way at this point. Just the cost of doing business in an incredible game where 7 people are willing to get 100 bigs in pre with money still behind. 

    That was my thinking at the time.  Had to bluff.  No, no diamond on the flop so I didn't improve in any way.

    I don’t mind either play preflop. Don’t think bluff jamming flop from early position was EV+ though. Too likely some of the 7 opponents had SPR spots where they’d call even if you showed them AA (which a flop jam screams here)

    Pretty much a rule to never bluff when 4-way+

    I absolutely agree, but I felt stuck at this point.  I tried to convince myself I had fold equity although the initial caller had 3:1 odds and anyone after that was even better.  I was hoping the absolute value of the money may convince people to fold.  What would you do, check/fold if you don't improve?  I'm sure that's the EV+ play.  Maybe I like the rush more than the money lol.

    Shit, isn't a pot bet like $300 at that point? Does UTG cover you? Is he an OMC?  I'm probably just ripping it in, yea. That kind of raise reeks of 99-QQ. I'm good with flipping with the dead money in the middle. 

    Pot bet was $200 (7 @ $31).  The only caller was a younger asian guy but he was MP with lots of people to act behind.  Seems impossible to believe that he called but I guess top pair was enough for him.

    My 3rd dealt hand I am the button. live $10 straddle, FTA makes it $30,  no one folds, between him and me, every single player calls the $30 until its my turn. Ive got AKdd.

    Theres $160 in the middle, and I rip it.  only caller is FTA.  I ask if he wants to go more than once, he says 3 times, I agree.  hes got A6ss.

    Similar thing happened to me...I'm in BB with 800 and have AdKd in a 1/3 game.  UTG opens for $31.  Seven players (!) limp behind.  I'm thinking I've got to reduce the field so I pot it.  ALL BUT ONE PLAYER CALLS.  I guess I should've ripped it in?  SPR seems too high for that.  I do rip it in on a J84r flop and get called by some fool who double flatted preflop with JTo.  I don't improve.  Fuck me.  I guess it's good for the game that this many fish are in the pool but damn...

  7. I recently bought a home, the home has huge boulders that surround the front lawn (boulders are half the size of the house - at least the part you can see).  My son and daughter-in-law came for a visit.  Daughter-in-law:  "Those rocks are pretty; did you have someone install them?"

  8. Immediately where my head went too. Jerking off over the city is pretty tame for his standards. 
    I think may favorite part of the episode was Homelander's "damn, you crazy" expressions when Stormfront started to out-psychopath him with the white genocide talk.

    I read that the jerkoff scene was filmed in season 1 but Amazon nixed it. They relented so it was put it in season2. Couldn’t have been fucking Stormfront since she wasn’t in season 1.
