fairly happy to check behind? not slightly too thin to bet here? as we are bet folding any check raise?
seems slightly nitty to check behind, but possibly saves us a sticky situation if he c/raises? especially with a aggro image, think hes more likely to check and let you barrell your bollocks off?

im no OFC pro, but if he showed that, isnt that a fouled hand?

I may be alone, but I think Joe Root is a ghastly batsman.   Scored his 180, but after that even in England opening scored with a strike rate of 20 and then got out in the twenties.  Today scored 15 off 80 balls before slogging the spinner up in the air.  Dreadful player imho, but I'm told his technique is textbook.  Simply don't see why this guy is the next big thing.

hmm, seems to me this statement is from someone who has no idea about cricket, barring a wander down the local green with a red tennis ball and a woolworths bat!
Cooks out of nick, as is prior etc. KP is KP and wont change, and why should he? guys world class, ans will score runs. batted well today. bell is world class, and only 31, so a few more years at the level i think
just run into a pumped up aussie side, with a weapon that no many sides own, a guy bowling genuine raw pace. 89-90mph isnt overally fast at test level, but 92-93mph makes all the difference and will get wickets. people are so quick to jump on their backs, the top 6 that started at the gabba probably had 90 test hundreds between them? they are class, just the bad form has coincided with the aussies in top form.
bowlers wise, broad will be a feature for a good few years yet. jimmy and swanny have a couple of yhears left, fitness wise, and swann- form wise. 2 bad tests in aus and they are calling for his head, laughable really.
new guys coming through? that ive seen/ played with/against: sam robson, daniel bell-drummond, james vince, ballance etc look the next wave. they clearly dont rate taylor, and i can see why, if they had hed have had that no 6 locked up since colly called it a day. bowlers? rankin finn, mills, kerrigan etc
interesting to see how they approach the next tests, think the waca we might go ballance at 6, get rid of stokes, and bresnan and rankin/finn in for the spinners. then again we are always relectant not to play a twizzler. maybe stokes stays and ballance and rankin come in???
been a hard 2 tests to watch, after 2 years in aus at a cricket club, ive been getting a torrade of abuse, i guess im getting as good as i got after the last 3 series!!
UP THE POMS!

seems a bizarre line to take, why check behind on the turn?why not bet the ace?
if it is a typical live crapshoot tourny, then never expect him to fold AK/AQ maybe even ace rag here, and im guessing a 40bb stack is fairly well sized compared to the rest of the field? im happy to fold here, no point in getting involved. would be a shame to get rid of a decent stack in this hand
think id usually fold t a 3bet, dont mind opening. then again in positon, not terrible, but probs a muck
personally, think id bet the turn, and be giving up to anymore action from the villain, unless we improve on the river

so sick,  is that good a hand, it even whens when its losing

i might have to start charging for the counseling sessions i have give you on the way home! then again, saying that, if i did, i dont think youd have any money left  

OK so I folded.

/10 for flop/turn please?

We saying flop : raise > check call

Turn: Smaller check raise > donkin > check call

hands were!?

Legend, this will be a great diary I'm sure Liam's gotta be one of the nicest guys I've come across, and also one of the few that can pull off a tattoo sleeve and not look like a twat. Biggest bluff you've ever made? What is it you do in the shower that takes so long?

jesus matt. you worry me at times!

  Very well done Sean,Matt and Sam. You should be very pleased with yourselves.Great effort and result. Making a difference.

 

erm bit of both, live recently have played a lot more cash, and the odd Big game, deepstack, SPT etc. uni work in the past few weeks has stopped the degeneracy a little though.
online cash i find very boring, and have never really had a proper bankroll for online, so now just flick it in for storm, bigger 11 etc on a sunday or the Micro millions etc etc if they are on. played a bit of zoom to, but as i say, lacked a decent roll to take it on

I mean anyone that can win the BIG 11 surely can get some run good in a job right?

I don't know about this.  I heard OP once fell into a barrel of tits and came up sucking his thumb.

 

good mag, defo own a subscription!

a big/decent suited ace early on? never folding. Think the hand plays out fine, think i would still lead the turn,and maybe fold to aggression. On the river there are still plenty of hands we beat. Think that plays out fine... Awaiting abuse!
