The Cryptologic network (which Hills, Befair, Littlewoods etc are all part of) has been having stability problems recently. Actually, the network has never been all that in terms of reliability, but over recent months it's been very flaky. I think their software needs a big rewrite, but I get the impression that no one at Crypto actually knows how their software works in its entirety, so everytime they try and fix something, something else goes wrong.

Hi Maureen
Have just come across this thread as I only lurk now and then. Me and my partner Jue met you and yours at the Circus, Stoke earlier this year and are sad to hear of the little chaps troubles. I have to say he's a tough kid and we wish you, your family and Reece all the best for the future,and fingers crossed for success with the treatment.

I dont get up in time for breakfast so its just a cuppa when I get to work

Hello btw

[SuuPRlim]

call 1 fold 2

+1 your hand is SO under-repped in hh#1 that I cant think of a single reason to fold, whenever I get to a river without the initiative in a hand like this with pretty much the top of my range I'd just call save becoming easy exploitable,

I think hand two line is pretty much spot on if you folded river.

Hello blondites
Just a quick virgin post to say hello and to thank tikay for introducing himself to me in the £50 notts tourney last night.  It was a pleasure!

I thouroughly enjoyed making the final again and to beat as many men as possible!!

Big congrats to Julian for wiping the floor with the remaining 2 out of 5 cypriots at the final table! Great win considering you were only left with the blinds at one stage!

I look forward to heads up wiht you next time!

Lol sik brags.

Now, as I have to act first, what bet would you make?

Leave the rebuy crapshoots to Gala to sort out! I think shortening the opening times and days will get the place back buzzing again in a way that hasnt really been seen since the norweigans left. Still the best place around to play poker
Nice one Rob.

Told you the rebuys wont work at DTD

[pleno1]

pleno gonna pleno

Why are we saying he could have qq-aa here? He obv raises the flop with op to the board. Depending on how aggresive he is, he probs raises akc here, only hands which he flats two streets are flush draws imo. Bet folding this river is awful too for people suggesting to fire out a blocker. People fire out blockers far too much these days, as a kinda disguised value bet, playig 5-10 at the venetian I guess you get raised here even if he has air.

Oh and fold pre.

DTD 300 at the weekend. Still at our starting table, we have a veritable plethora of different styles, Barry Neville , George Geary, Roberto Romanello, James Browning.

In seat one is a young guy who I didnt know of. he was certainly not short of attitude, having already called the clock on George Geary, and I was getting the impression that he thought he was better than he was. anyway, the blinds are 100/200, I have about 14K, young guy has about 10K in the small blind. I am UTG and get dealt  . To mix it up a bit I raise to i think 650, and it is folded round to the SB who calls. GG folds the big blind.

Before the flop comes down young guy extravagantly bangs the table and annouces "check in the dark".

Flop comes  .


your move ?

If he's young "AND a solid online player" then his range for calling an utg raise from sb is going to be very narrow. Something like (22-JJ maybe QQ, AK/AQs+ and some 89ss/JTss hands)

So what part of that is he going to continue with?
Bare A/K h; 44/99/QQ(lol) only 2 pair can be a spaz call pre with Q9s though I cant see that.
He's pretty much always check raising draws/sets or c/c Axhh that flopped the over flush.

That is a very narrow part of his range so i'm not that against checking back the flop as he will then be adamant that you CANNOT have a flush or at least that's a small part of your range and when a 4th heart hits he will never give you credit for a big h having expected you to bet it on the flop as a cbet having raised utg.

If you check back flop and it's a brick and he leads you could ghay raise small, if a heart comes i'd look to call the turn slowly and re-evaluate the river.

Bear in mind that i'm not very good at the pokerz :lol: And would prob just bet flop 100% of the time in reality in this spot because we haz a flush innit.


EDIT - I think our hand means that he has to have the K or A of hearts or JJ with a heart to really continue and put any money in on the flop so slow playing (I literally have only ever slow played about 3 times lol) may actually be the most +EV, regardless of whether we hate the idea of seeing a free turn.

edit- 2

Checking in the dark as has been said is great against weaker players, but against strong players who know when they need to peel and when to bet it doesn't work aswell, I dont like it as much in tournies because it removes your donking range which in alot of instances combined with stack sizes is a great play and can be very profitable.

I check dark preflop when first to act in multiway pots because I am going to check anyway and I think that it gets me less credit as again has been said before when I just c/r huge with the nuts.

Checking dark with strong hands doesn't really make much sense but could be interesting against better players to balance when you call and check dark with 45s.

TL;DR.

3  years ago was a long time 

I'm so surprised my first post wasn't me just putting 'lol' somewhere.
