Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[Royal Flush]

Seen on our PHA Board. When exactly did this simple game of poker get so frigging complicated?

default 3b/fold preflop especially HU, 22/14 is a tight player.  given tight range fold as ur dominated by too many of his holdings + oop without initiative, id guess something like call 20%/3b 15%/fold 65%...... not many 22/14 can overbet shove a non-freerolling/immortal nuts hand

God Bless Alex Martin. A whole new vocabulary is emerging, where we see word juxtaposition like we've never seen before.

"overbet shove non-freerolling/immortal nuts".

How on earth am I going to weave that into the Commentary in tonight's Show?

But I will.

What does the 22/14 part of that mean?  And what does the rest of it mean also?

22/14 is poker tracker stats. First = vpip which how many times you enter the pot not including the bb and 2nd = Preflop raise %.

The rest means re raise or fold preflop especially in heads up pot, you are dominated too often and are out of position without the initiative. Alex would call 20%, reraise 15% and fold 65% of the time. A tight player with these stats will rarely balance their range between nothing hands and the nuts/ hands with a 7 and a flush draw (hence freerolling against your bare 7).

Whoa there, hold up a moment.

In "22/14", you are saying the "14" means they raise 14% of the time pre-flop? 14%? You do know that's 1 time in 7? More than once an Orbit?

Tighty & I think we are playing on the edge if we Raise one time every other Level. (Assuming 1 hour Levels).

I need a lie-down, this is shocking stuff.

Yeah but you play live so once a level (1hr levels) is about the same as an orbit.

Also you open limp which is meh

If only everything in life was as reliable as a.......

Due at Hove Greyhound Stadium at 1.30pm, I just tried to set off from Hickstead in plenty of time to poodle down, grab a latte, & arrive unfussed & early.

And my car battery is flat.......

Bugger.

Taxi ordered.

To be fair, it's the first time my car has ever let me down, or missed a beat. It's a bugger when it does, though. Tomorrow, somehow, I gotta get to Feltham from here.

Better Getta Beemer. Battery.

Back to Obama...this guy just keeps doing better (in my humble opinion)

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/4/20090124/twl-obama-lifts-veto-on-abortion-funds-41f21e0.html

He still needs to work on that doing better bit though:

If you're lying on the slab still breathing, with your torturer hanging over you, you don't much care if he is an American or a mere United States - sponsored trainee.

When President Obama declared flatly this week that "the United States will not torture" many people wrongly believed that he'd shut the practice down, when in fact he'd merely repositioned it.

Obama's Executive Order bans some -- not all -- US officials from torturing but it does not ban any of them, himself included, from sponsoring torture overseas.

Indeed, his policy change affects only a slight percentage of US-culpable tortures and could be completely consistent with an increase in US-backed torture worldwide.

The catch lies in the fact that since Vietnam, when US forces often tortured directly, the US has mainly seen its torture done for it by proxy -- paying, arming, training and guiding foreigners doing it, but usually being careful to keep Americans at least one discreet step removed....

I don't think Obama's going to stop Jack Bauer doing it

[AndrewT]

Yeah, the US has been outsourcing its torture for a while now - Egypt, Morocco, Syria and Jordan are the favoured countries.
