Also hit the 3 card poker on my way out like a true degen. played liked 5 or 6 hands and was plus 300
not trying to rub it in, and idk if i can see the bets by street, but dubious top 2 pair with no diamond blockers nor straight blockers in your hand after the flop. sounds like you still got yourself in a profitable spot heads up but also not sure if there was a exit or pot control opp after the flop/turn
I bumped it from 92 to 552 (pot) on the flop and he still called. He shoved turn for the rest and I called.. I'm sure I could have played it differently but damn I got it in good.
yeah for him to call that size with a gut wrap and blocking one of his own draws holding 99 is definitely questionable. although with a diamond in his hand he probably doesn't give you credit for the flush draw, in which case i think he's reading a set like JJ or 77 and 10/9/8 hits it's going in with a nut straight. though i would still be worried about the chance of my opponent having a flush draw potting the flop even with a blocker. so really he should only feel "good" on the turn with a 10s&c, 9s&c, 8h&c to get the rest of it in. i still think your pot bet was overaggressive considering your lack of re-draws/blockers. over pair with diamonds continues, the 10/9/8 is in the range, suited JXd, any other flush combo with a gutter. and 53/56 or A3/A5d enters the fray on the turn. so i do think when you pot with top 2 needing it to hold for two streets it's always gonna be a risky proposition ...
It was risky but these two guys were Uber aggressive and raising every pre-flop and betting every flop. I felt like I was good and I was. Until I wasn't. I'll take 80% every time though.
Haven't really followed the thread. It was a different app and for pretty low stakes right? I gey bored at low stakes honestly.
It isn't about the money. It's about the friends along the way and collectively witnessing bertwing cheat.
Jake Barnes would be upset if I played elsewhere. I've made his mortgage payment a few times the last couple months.
We have a laptop but it's never on. Use phones and iPad almost exclusively. I'll just keep giving Jake money and playing PLO. I just enjoy it more.
been playing pretty much exclusively 6-Max PLO8 on bovada lately. For whatever reason, PLO8 works in my head better than just PLO. Being able to play the hi and low locks my mind in better.
Plo8? Never tried it. I tried plo5 for maybe 20 minutes and tapped out lol. Been keeping my ass on 6 max 1/2 plo and had some success recently. Yesterday was ugly though.
It’s hard to be universally loved in any walk of life, it’s virtually impossible in poker...unless your name is Mike Sexton.
Late reg’d a $33 tourney on bovada late last night. Quickly doubled twice then we went to a break. Where I went to sleep. Woke up this morning and found I won $140 in that tourney. Easy game.
lol. Did it again last night. I should probably not register for any event after 11pm. Although it does seem +ev for me.
I haven't had the pleasure or played there in sometime. But back when I was all evidenced pointed towards payouts being awful. Might suggest loading up a BTC app, seemed like that was the only quick option for US players ...
How far off from having online poker widely available again. I’m tired of these PA Pokerstars players. I did go on a pretty big heater this weekend but right back on the rollercoaster of losing to 2 outers on the river.
