lol separated at birth

(I feel sorry for you mate)

[bhoywonder]

thx for the responses high stack and boldie


im gonna seriously consider wot u said in my upcoming home game this weekend

when the enivitable situation arrives

I seriously doubt your play of AK is the thing that costs you. How would you have played 56s or 72o in this spot? That is what is more important to making you into a better player.

i had been bluffing like a maddie previous flushy to survive ( after sufferring an earlier outdraw ) and getting folded back to me,so my image was crazy,I expected the call anytime from the noobie,i could see his frustration build,so i just duplicated my play to get the call.....

but yeah i see wot u r getting at


p.s. a few months back i got 72os ,this time i had crept into the money ,4 handed,  1st in the pot on the button..stuff it i thought..im all in i hear myself saying......lol


called by the sb wi A10.......hmmmmmm  and railed..it was a kinda self test.....my groan when he said call was fairly loud..lol

Open pushing with 72 is a bit lame IMO, i prefer to re-raise as you get far more respect and a bigger pot.

Even better is some mugs will pass Ak because they don't want to call their chips of with AK and go into a 50-50

what,. respect flushy?...

Dammit Flushy, now look what you've done! That's another one over to the dark side of weird freakish insta calls and insta all ins

[Royal Flush]

lol.

I just don't understand why people go and overcomplicate situations, most times in tournament poker things are very straight foward!

[JungleCat03]

Flushie talks some bs sometimes but the AK situation calling your chips off in the BB is pretty straightforward.

When sklanksy used to talk about passing up +ev in tourneys in order to take a better situation later down the line, he's not talking about shortstacks.

If you're as short as this, you have to take +ev situations. Blind pressure means you won't have time to find better spots.

There might be exceptional circumstances around especially steep payout structured events, eg satellites but this isn't one. Get yourself in this spot, win your overlayed pot where you have an edge and pick up some folding equity and punish the weak tighties.

Like your blog though highstacks, keep it up.

[Highstack]

Thanks Jungle.

I had given up on it, but I may start again. I had a few nasty comments posted (of course by anonymous), so I made it that only other bloggers could leave replies. It was supposed to be a warts'n'all account and I would never take down some good old critiocsm that I can handle, but this was personal and more than a little sick, so I thought why the hell should I bother? That said, I have had lots of requests to keep it going, so I will probably do anoter update soon.

Don't let the morons put you off.

I think you've generally been very honest, especially about some of your personal difficulties which is admirable and quite difficult.

People troll round the blogs writing all kinds of crap in the comments. Just filter out the stuff which is stupidly vindictive and take on board the constructive stuff, be it praise or criticism.

Let flushie have this round.

You'll have plenty of opportunity to get him back later. Like when he checks the seating arrangement of a live tournament he's in and finds himself at the same table as sofa----king, yourself and Mick Mc have-a-go from the hendon mob forum!
