I typically lead this, though i have no issue with check raising if the button cbets a lot. Basically my intention is build the pot as much as possible at this stage, to get as much in as possible before showdown.

I think this is pretty much what I was trying to say.  I would imagine if the button is any sort of a player he c/bets mst flops if we check to him.

This golf is awesome.  I normally back Cabrera for every major tournament and this time I never, I really hope he messes it up from a purley selfish perspective.  I haven't had a bet on this years event, but I have looked through this thread and it seems a few posters will make money no matter what the outcome, well done to you all.

Could someone give me a "dummies guide to betfair" How do you create books?  Do you have to have the funds in your account to lay off?  Or can you do that on the strength of your potential winnings?

I have never used exchanges and I am more of a laymen who walks into Hills or Ladbrokes and hands my money over, yet I feel as if I am missing out on so much value online.

Yes you can lay off on your winning equity, and BF explains it in layman's terms for newcomers on their website.

PS I bet the Camel's ample botty is twitching slightly

I've twitched at last.. laid off at an average of 12/1..

Would have left it for a hole or two.

ty.

Um, well, there's better people to explain it than me but the basic idea is this.

You back someone at 10.0 for £10  he does well and at some point drops to 2.0.  You can now lay your bet if you like.   Some people 'green' out completely (called green because all the figures on Betfair go green) and make it whatever the outcome, they will win the same amount.   Others will only lay a smaller amount and have more profit if their original selection comes in.  You don't need extra funds in your account if you are laying off for a profit, the money is deducted from your potential winnings as you can't go wrong with it really.  If you are laying off and making a loss (to limit liability) you need the funds in your account.

Sorry it's not that clear but I'm not that good at explaining it and playing poker at the same time, need to concentrate on explaining things like this but it gives you an idea hopefully.  Best thing to do is have a go, sounds complicated but it's not that hard once you start.

Thanks also.

Pass pre.  Anybody doing anything differently fancy some heads up action?

If you want

What do you fancy? 

1c/2c on stars?

fucking dumb yanks ... Tiger on a par 5 taking his tee shot and some tool shouts "GET IN THE HOLE" ... It should be perfectly legal to immediately shoot these morons as soon as they open their mouths.

Hahaha. this made me laugh, I think this every time I watch the golf. 
I mean how often do we see a ball drop in off the tee?

Not shoving pre is meh.

I don't mind the stop n' go if out of position.

If you figure his shoving range on that flop crushes ou why do you now want to get your chips in when you presume your a dog.    Surely you want to get your chips in when there is still a chance that your opponent is going to pass?

Bad players can also make passes.

I wish I had 10% of his ability.  If it was ever confirmed that I was firing blanks, I would wish for PA to me the annonymous donor. 

How is he getting on with his challenge against Durrrr?

I don't often play live, so my opinion may be a bit mute but from my limited experience. 

GALA - the general standard in these Casino's I have visited is bad.  I think they all learned from a Gala Poker Master. 

Do we have any notes on the button?  Does he often raise with position.

....

button has yet to play a hand btw, no previous notes

Oh and    to the forum

Ooops, must pay more attention. 

Thank you for the welcome.

If the button has not played a hand yet then I think i prefer to check/call.

why?..(not saying you're wrong..just curious)

I normally lead with sets as a default line.  However when the button has shown a bit of strength p/f in this instance we don't want to force him out the hand by leading into him.  What would be a suitable range to put our opponent on here? 

From experience I am thinking TT, JJ, QQ, KK, AA, AJs, AQs, AKs, AQo & AKo at the moment we dominate so many of those hands unless he has spades.  Then that could be prett dangerous for us, if we check/call the on the flop and the turn blanks.  We can extract maximum value against any of the aces, and you never know we might have a hero who does not believe us for for a K and may be prepared to continue that show of strength with TT, JJ, QQ, AJ, AQ, AK.  The only real hands within the assigned range that cause us major problems are a suited AJs AQs or KK.  If he has a bigger set then thats just meh.
