Dontcha hate when......

[Swordpoker]

You correctly put the guy on a draw. Then.......

This guy is great value. Am looking forward to future tourneys with him.

Currently I'm 2 - 0 down against him and I really hope its not because I'm more pish than he is

i'm calling all day long in his boots.

I'm check raising all in on the flop!

[KingPoker]

He was 54% favourite on flop!

And on the turn?

If he raised on the flop it would have made sense but he waited until he missed and for me to push before getting his chips in.

[KingPoker]

 had the open ender with the turn card. went down to 36% on turn

And he called a massive 480 bet that I made into a 270 pot.

Called 480 to win 750 with 36% chance. That's huge value in my book.

At least the title gave us a clue here

Damn, why didn't anyone tell me counting was important in poker.

You took your time

I was upsetting people elsewhere, needed a minute to dial it on down.

How long you getting on at the heads up anyway?

How long?

I'm plugging away at the $34.50 turbos. I'm enjoying them and I know that long term I'd definitely beat them. No idea what my ROI is going to be like as I imagine the swings are going to be huge.

At the moment I'm sitting at a loss on $0.33 after 45 tourneys.

I can play approx 5 tourneys per hour. To match the hourly rate I make in my 18 seaters I would need an ROI of 12% in these turbos which is maybe asking a bit much so I'm not really considering them to be a viable long term option for grinding. Once I have enough bankroll to up the stakes though it might be worth me considering.

Good luck.

I find heads up unbeliebvably frustrating, Ghandi would have a tough time keeping his cool I reckon.
