[If I had a grand Id take your bet Laz, but I dont so I cant]

Rangers will struggle against most teams at this level

i dont know why celtic fans think there something special, celtic will struggle versus most teams at this level.
scott brown comes in and is instantly your best player, agree?
so by that logic the rest of the squad isnt up to scratch.
i really dont think there is much between rangers and celtic, so i think domestically it will be close.

There is no pace in your team. I have seen more mobility in an 80 year old with a zimmer frame. That team the other night PASSED YOU: OFF THE PARK.

You watching the same game as the rest of us laz?

And no pace? Beasley, Novo, Burke, Darcheville all have pace and Ive been led to believe Gow has pace also, in pre season we've been breaking up the park very quickly from defence so i dont think lack of pace will be a problem.

Happened to me yesterday actually, i didnt notice the change from razz to stud and I was raising like there was no tomorrow with a made 7 low with 2 cards to come, guy Im up against has KJJ showing and Im thinking "Why is he calling? he's drawing dead already!"  Lucky it was limit, if it was PL I couldve done tons of damage  :S

Can anyone comment on Hellmuths ability at the non-texas games?

 seen scottish dave on monday night in motherwell , didnt get a chance to speak to him , but good to know he is still alive. he used to be a regular on here , i guess fatherhood is taking up most of his time

Snap, you a regular there BigT?

Is that gig up there still getting as many runners? I used to go when it first started, and managed a couple of wins when there was about 60-70 runners. last I heard they were turning people away cos they had over 100 runners.

Met Colin the guy who runs it a couple of months back at hamilton races. Amazing how successful its been for a pub game.

Ive been the last 2 mondays but its the 1st Id been in 6 months before that.  Numbers have dropped off but its still doing well, I think it averages around 70 players now

Re: The AT hand, I didnt see the table but I would assume that at this stage there is all all in 2 out of 3 hands generally from a short stack and when the button does pass it gets harder and harder to be the 1st one to put ur chips in.  U probably could have waited another round though.

Will the personalisation always be on the back of the hoodys?

Maybe she's representing the 6 on the turn?

boooo, out

KQ V 33 on a KQ3 flop

Ha, i couldve just taken Eck out with the 7-4 offsuit if I wasnt such a wimp....I dont think he'd have been happy though 

He bubbled i think

Im in 

PMSL - I can assure his wife we're not interested!

Im sure you've all came across it before, maybe even done it yourself.  Sitting in a cash game, someone loses a buy in, reloads and loses the plot.

Whats the best way to play against players that tilt badly when theyre stuck and start playing anything and everything to try to recoup the loss.  They start leading out with a 5-8 X BB preflop raise followed by a potsized bet on the flop and a decent bet on the turn.  Although usually their range is fairly tight and theyre overall play decent they are now playing any 2 cards, betting and raising the board with bottom pair or less and is generally completely wild.

Whats the best strategy for this type of player?

Tighten up and reraise them preflop with a decent hand? 
Wide your own starting requirements and call the maniac and then try to trap him once you catch something as 9/10 he pays you off?
Call preflop and raise him on the flop with any 2 hoping he didnt catch anything and will lay it down to your show of strength?


Not sure how much of a difference this makes but the cash games are rarely deep stacked........

When a player tilts like this the whole dynamic of the table changes from something you could maybe call sensible poker to a limpathon with everyone calling into the raiser and calling the raise hoping to hit the flop and have the tilter pay them off.

This is where I start to leak chips as, with so many people in, I find it harder to put anyone on a hand, especially the maniac.  I get involved in more pots that are more expensive than they used to be and now find it harder to work out where I am in the hand, cards that used to be thought of as bricks could now have given someone 2 pair or filled an inside straight with the junk that is now being played.
Recently if this has been happening Ive just been tempted to leave as I always get sucked into changing my game and burning chips but never do as someone busts the tilter and he reloads ready to continue.

Any advice is appreciated
