Ah.....

[david3103]

Thanks all - good to know I got most of the hand about right

I contemplated the shove but folded, the board ran out club-free and the two of them then declared they'd missed and did that irritating  I don't want to show the losing hand thing

eventually the pot went to the shortstack's missed J high  flush  

Must improve my reading skills - had I believed he was checkraising a flush draw I'd have reshoved

so you'd normally open to 8x after a few limpers?

we make it big because we have a good hand, this is live cash poker, bet more when you have a good hand.

I thought we had made it a tenner on the button with no straddle

I still think that would be fine. (although undeniabley a touch on the large side)

So in a 1/2 game std open is 20 quid without straddles? I would think if Ur opening to a tenner every hand at .50/1 u wouldn't get much action?

A thinking player will undoubtedly be of this opinion, but live cash game fish call anything. Opening 2* pot after a limper or two will get called most of the time. I normally open for pot so I think £9-10 here is fine, but if you don't mind playing big pots, £15-20 will usually get called here as well especially in the deep games. The mentality is the same as tournament fish who start with 30k chips instead of 10k chips, they don't play deeper they just call off lighter and open bigger.

So with a £2 straddle you're going to get called opening to 20 quid. Rly?

I understand your skepticism, but yes really. Read my new diary entry for full details on how bad 100nl live fish really are.

In quite a few places probably.  The old limp to £2, call £20, fold to any bet on the flop.

George just wants to make sure it's not a level before he makes the transition from online MTTs to live cash.

Forgot to mention, they're sitting with £40 before the hand started as well.
