I fold flop too. Also don't show people your 3 barrell bluffs if you don't have to. Keep them guessing. Don't tarnish your image in a moment of ego induced madness, keep them guessing.

I call the 3b pre. We can probably set mine this deep. It feels too weak to fold to a with 99.4betting you're only getting action from the top of his range, which buries you. What was your motivation to 4bet?
As played pass immediately.

I hope it is okay to post this ITT. I have been cunningly tricked into signing up for something ridiculous called Survival Of The Fittest. It is on 12th October in Nottingham. Apparently I've got to run for 10km, and every so often there are obstacles to go over and things like that.
I signed up for this several months ago, and obviously have not even bought a pair of running shoes yet, let alone started to get fit. Optimistically I may perhaps get my lazy ass in gear and start training by the end of the month. Which gives me about 14 weeks to try to get fit enough to have some sort of chance of completing the thing without dying.
To say I am unfit is a massive understatement. Apart from one brief interlude (see below) I have not done any exercise at all for around ten years. I am substantially overweight, with no latent fitness whatsoever. If I ran 100m to the end of the street right now I would be sweating, dizzy and feeling sick by the time I got there.
What I want to know is do I have any sort of chance at all of getting fit enough in three months to be able to do this thing?
About four years ago I did actually get myself sort of fit. On advice I started by doing four minutes walking followed by one minute of slow running, for twenty minutes. Then after a few days increased the ratio of running etc. I gather there is now an app called Couch to 10k which guides you through this process methodically. After about three months I was able to run very slowly for at least half an hour without stopping. I was loving it, pretty much addicted to it tbh. And it had a hugely beneficial impact on my life in all sorts of unexpected ways. Unfortunately I hurt my Achilles Tendon, probably because I was running five times a week in crap trainers. And that was the end of that - I couldn't run any more and by the time it got better (it took over a year) I had lost all momentum. Four years later I am back to how I was... think Jabba the Hutt after he has really let himself go.
I would be over the moon merely to be able to jog very gently round the course. But it is 10k... that sounds like rather a long way! I have never run even 5km before, let alone 10 km.
Am I drawing dead on this? Or have I got a chance? Any thoughts, suggestions or advice would be much welcomed. Or you can just laugh and take the piss... that'd be just as good, and probably more appropriate. [/quote
] make sure you jog 3x per week min. Also get at least one running partner who is also just starting out, better still several people. Doing it alone won't push you as much. Glglglgl

I don't really like the call here pre. if shortie 100bb then shoves and original 3 better calls then what are you doing? if the answer is jamming surely you should be 4betting or folding here?
post flop very awkward now, as its more likely they will be shoving value hands sets/overpairs with the odd bluff so probably a fold as played
Edit- I'd just fold pre
youd fold TT pre flop 4handed, deep, facing a 3bet?

After OPRing him I almost probbably def fold.
After OPR'ing him I would suggest this more of a shove. Villain is clearly a bad player. He is not thinking if I 3b here I have to call cause of x stacks behind, all he's thinking about is, this guys opening a lot, 3betting is cool and he folded to one last time, lets do that. They have sooo much spazz range at this BI level I don't think I can consider doing anything but shoving. How do you know what villain is thinking btw? Fold for me too.

Just made a pizza with 00 flour instead of the usual bread flour, mixed a little cornmeal in too for texture and a thin layer of it under the tray to stop it sticking, much preferred my base with this flour, less heavy and smoother texture. Just topped it with passata, herbs, green pesto, wild mushrooms and cheese. Seasoned with salt n pepper. Lovely.

I'd strongly suggest going direct if you can. I went direct, and spoke to some guys in Vegas who didn't and said despite saving money it's a pain in the arse. I guess even more so now it is taking longer to get through at the airports.
