Man City 3/1 until 5 o'clock I believe:

Sorry for short notice.  Just spotted it.

The call from Khodiyara seems much more marginal than Ahmeds.

Antonius in the one seat?

Carragher won't be able to handle the pace and power of the newc forward line.

Perch to get sent off. Seems like a blood thirsty young man.

Carroll to score.

I'm getting the same Steve.

I see a lot of players are sat out.  It seems like a problem on Stars end.

Didn't realise the 3 bet was that big either, will tone it down

Thanks

Maybe it isn't, it's just bigger than I like to make it. 

A smaller 3-bet gives you more room for maneuver post flop with 40bbish stacks.  Makes re-steals cheaper.

If you are never 3-bet bluffing you become predictable but if your 3-bet bluffs are sized 3.5x the open they become too pricey.

This is a balance that I struggle to strike.

Would be interested on others thoughts.     

Seems like you can easily get this in and be very happy about it. 

The three bet is for pure value I expect therefore i'd be snapping very, very quickly once he jams. 

In saying that, your huge 3-bet probably narrows his 4-bet shoving range considerably.  He may see your large raise as representing strength and only continue with bigness.  I'd probably make it around the 33,000 mark then call the jam. 

Pretty cold.  Unlucky.

Don't have HEM but at least now I know I'm not just missing something.

Cheers.

Is it possible to Convert I-poker hand histories to be viewed on Universal Replayer?

If so, how would I do it?

Thanks.

Cooler skill, take life savings to bobbys room, become millionaire.

My life savings sure would get me into Bobby's Room.

And I'd take the coolers.  It's basically my only hope of winning money at this game anyway.

If you're going to use a sniper rifle you're better off aiming for the head.

I will almost definitely follow this diary however the use of the word 'uber' must be kept to a minimum in my opinion. 

I am by all accounts a nobody on this forum with a tiny number of posts to my name but I will make a suggestion that you keep the belittling of opponents and all-round negativity towards your enemy to a minimum.  Things will definitely read/flow a whole lot better without you expressing your disgust at every opponents line in hands. 

By all means be evaluative and constructively critical but demeaning, degrading descriptions will get prospective readers backs up and could result in them venturing over to some less negative diaries for their fix of reality-living.

Good luck and I really hope you win the world.

Luke's limp from small blind with J7 off playing like 12 bigs must be horrendous surely?  I'm shit at poker but it felt really, really bad when I watched it.

[Yes real madrid are fantastic]

I have been reading quite a lot of articles this week trying to downgrade the spanish football league.

Yes barcelona are the best team in the world. Yes real madrid are fantastic, yes messi and ronaldo are the best two players in the world. Yes xavi and iniesta are the two more glorious players to watch in the world. Yes pique is better than any other defender in the spanish league. Yes casillas is the best gk in the league, yes both of these teams are way way way above anybody else in the league.

No this does not mean it is a shit league and all the rest of the teams in the league are terrible.

Did you know that over the last 10 years a spanish team has won the europa league/uefa cup 4 times? Not bad for a league which only has two teams huh?

I have to disagree with this.

They are undoubtedly excellent against lesser opponents but have twice been found out against Barcelona at their own stadium.

I can't help but dislike them after last weeks El Classico where they scored early and proceeded to spoil the game by kicking 7 shades of shit out of Barca and playing a very poorly executed containment game.  They are a gang with Mourinho the ring leader and Pepe his on-field enforcer.

I used to like the Special One but his overly pragmatic (win at all costs)  approach leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

omg lol

Why omg lol?

If it's because of the high standard of shooting i'd suggest that these guys are the elite players in England, practicing a closed skill that they earn a living performing on a day to day basis.

It's not surprising to me that they are shit hot in training.

The gulf in class between high level professionals and decent amateurs (me) has always been something that has interested me.  It's pretty demoralising to watch videos like that and realise just how shit I actually am in comparison though.
