Good to hear from you as well Geo !

Doobs, there was no deal button or bubble, only paying one place in this Home game. Historically the guy who organises it usually chops ( he wasn't one of the 2), but tbf that wasn't something I'd thought about it , until the CL offered a chop.

To put into perspective I think it would probably have been about 8 dollars. Neither here nor there really, it was the fact CL changed their mind once I was out and then chopped with the guy they knew, despite having said lets deal when all 3 of us where still in.

Anyway I'm well over it now. it was a dealer from the Empire apparently, so they have to get their own back somehow I guess.

Disclaimer - I cant win my own award.


How does this work?

Three players left in a PLO Home game. It's Empire casino players & staff.

Player A has all the chips 90 k, Player B and me have 20k ish each. A & B know each other, neither know me

Player A says Want to deal ?  ( only 2 places paid ) we both say well hell yeah. Ive raised, so say okay yes fine by me , Player B & I get it in, he wins, I'm out, no problem, we already said yes to a deal.

Player A then says

" I'm okay actually "


Player B says that's sorted then


I then lose my shit and kick holes in a plasterboard wall, with my usual restraint and ladylike behaviour.


So my question is


How long will it take me to drive to the Empire Casino from Cheshire once lockdown ends ?

I had a great deal of fun with Marty while working on the GPS updates, he made some of the tougher days fly by.

Bumped into him randomly in Blackpool G just a couple of months ago, where he was dining with some old mates, and he was his usual cheerful self, so this is quite a shock. Will defo give him a Tweet and a text, thanks for letting people know Tikay.

Everyone loves a happy ending.

Mick McCool?

Tony Phillips?

Mick McCool can usually be spotted up a six foot ladder outside a racecourse, betting in-running.

I first met Dave about six years ago, and last heard from him after he moved to a Liverpool hospital in August, while I was expecting this, it still came as a shock.

I won't pretend we knew each other well, but had a shared love of a few old bands, as well as other connections, and sporadically kept in touch. I'm genuinely quite upset by the news of his untimely death and will always give a nod to his memory whenever i hear a song by The Cars.

RIP El Blondie x

Two good blokes in the final good luck to both.

 

You think that couch is big enough to hide behind?!

heads up for the dough

I'm sure Eso is the kind of guy who is happy coming second.

I am spamming hard. Nice to see some people return!

Guilt inducing spam. Done.

In

I'm assuming OP Leo1234 was more likely making a legal document on him rather than a documentary, looking at the date of original thread.

Daughter has part time job in KFC so she won't let me come in now, as last time I did I had to be propped up outside while she rang a taxi to take me home. I suppose I could try going in sober next time but where's the joy in that?

So it's Nandos for me also, but it's more of a neccesity due to no other option.

Welcome pokergal.

Hi caroline ✋

Well hey der!

Fold immediately. I'd be amazed if you're not dog to the field, plus ICM.

Not to mention when live players do that immediate, proud proclamation when they're the third player to be all-in, they just have aces. Although the fact that you've posted this on PHA means they probably didn't. Fold either way.

Yes, yes and yes.

I couldn't see how third player doesnt have aces there. I folded.

Hands were UTG 66 UTG +1 88 Player 3 AK soooted.

Flop was of course A, Q 2.


Rubdowns for rest of the night from Mr AK pointing out how I would have won. At one point I did take the bait and point out 9 times out of ten the third player to go all in there can only have a better hand... He said "Yes you were right I did." Then went on to tell me how "made up" he was and how he couldn't believe his luck when he saw two people, including one bigger stack, all in before him when he had AK, plus it was suited obviously...

Still feel correct fold, wish I'd not seen the flop afterwards of course! But every othe rplayer criticised me afterwards and told me I couldn't fold there, so really I wanted opinions from players who maybe have more understanding of the game. Thank you.

Playing live last night.

£50 FO at local casino, 3k Gtd. Final Table. Nine players, pays to 9 places. 1st is £1040. 9th is £100, 8th £120. 7th £140. 6th £170.

We've in the first level on FT and have just lost the bubble (started 10 handed)

I think the blinds were 12,000/24000 with 1k ante.

Most stack sizes are only 10-20 bigs, usually like this in this comp by the time we get to FT. I have over average, approx 400K. Two short stacks < 10BB. Three bigger stacks than mine.


UTG shoves all in . He is one of the short stacks, I know him and know he is very loose and very aggro and is shoving here simply because he can't afford to go through blinds again.

UTG +1 then announces all in. He is second chip leader and has me covered. He's a good player and I know he's making the move to isolate with his hand.

Next player then shouts "I'm all in" and has his chips over the line before the player before has even finishes speaking. This guy has been telling people all night what they are doing wrong and talks a better game than he plays. He is third in chips.

I look down to find QQ.

Two of the three all-ins have me covered.

Do I call all in, or do I fold here, and please tell me the reasoning behind your decision?
