I always have some poker chips to riffle when I'm playing online, much to the annoyance of the wife. Poker Xmas N01- 1979- Pink Floyd-Another brick on the river.
having a horrible day caz i live right where the channel fashion show is being held ( linlthgow). in fact, the last two weeks have been bad with a generator running 24 hours a day a stones throw away and lots of security people. nothing to do with poker but i felt like having a moan.
Right so, here are my excuses for the 4-bet and call.
I knew that I had a super-aggro image so I 4-bet and then I had the odds to call off the rest (unless he has AA)... I hate it so much... I'm such a fish.
If Redmond is multitabling and is deep into a big mtt does he ever go into robot mode with his sit n go's? e.g shoving on selected pre flop hands, or does he give each table the same attention?
re hand just showed have had lots of strange responsesd to min betting big hands resulting in good results i know it seems wrong but works for me farrier1
Now you've learned how to win Sit and Go's from the BorinLoner school: Just bang it in with 83 and river the flush. Easy peasy.
Seriously though, does Redmond think the shove is bad? We both only had 10 Big Blinds.
Basically, I'm shoving there with 100% of my range as long as I think my opponent is going to fold some of his hands. (Something I should keep to myself if I ever intend to play again. lol)
Thanks for the feedback chaps. Good show, as per usual.
When i play cash poker, i have this wierd superstition where I throw away the first 5 hands without looking at them. Not sure why I do it though. Id like to think its because I want to recce the table but it prob isnt. When I play online, even in the daylight, i have to draw the curtains and play with my table lamp on.
My game is full of little idiosyncracies. I have to set the chat bit to 'Chat Only' even if I'm going onto miniview. Also whenever I make an action (bet, raise, check whatever) I always circle the next opponent to act's avatar with my cursor while I'm waiting for them to act.
I have a curious habit when playing online. If I raise with a decent pocket pair and get a caller, I give a sort of "calm down" gesture, akin to michael winner in an insurance advert campaign, or an enthusiastic contestant on "play your cards right", to summon low cards on the flop. Unfortunately this has proven to have no statistically significant effect on the ensuing flop, but I am incapable of arresting this apparently pointless behaviour.
Agree that 30 handed Sit and Go's are a great idea. However, when you enter it may take an hour for the table to fill. Need to remember to de-register if you decide to go to bed before it starts ! Easy to forget that you have registered for it !
Entered a few Scary's by mistake when I thought it was a DYM, Get to last 3 and think , yes Ive won ! only to see another hand dealt and reality dawns, it is not a DYM !
In reference to Richard/Redmond saying I'm missing out on value, yes thats true...the reason I dont look is I dont want to know if I have aces! Also the table image thing you mentioned is quite interesting...you may have touched on something there as i do like to play a tight image and exploit it

“Careless Limpers”
oooh –ohh (Whooah)
I feel so unsure…,
As I take my hand and watch you call my raises,
As my chances die, ….something in your eyes
Shows me you’ve not got a clue
When you’re calling with… (!)
I'm never gonna bet again
Filthy chancers taking my bankroll
Though it's hard for me to pretend
I still think you're a fool
Should've known better than to raise again
Stations, limpers, 6-way pot ****
So I'm never gonna bet again
And lose my chips to you-oooh –ohh (Whooah)
Time can never mend
The careless suck out of a Monster
To the baize then gone
Thought this was the one
There’s no comfort in my cards
One has an Ace every time!
I'm never gonna bet again
Filthy chancers taking my bankroll
Though it's hard for me to pretend
I still think you're a fool
Should've known better than to raise again
Calling raises , just ‘cause they’re suited(!)
So I'm never gonna bet again
And lose my chips to you-oooh –ohh (Whooah)
Never without a hand!
Tonight 8-6-1 seems so loud!
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it's always this way
We get it in as favourite but they take it away
“Those cards just looked so good together???!”
I type out “That makes pot sense NEVER!”
now no-one's gonna’ call my house
…Please stay….
I'm never gonna bet again
Flthy chancers taking my bankroll
Maybe I should not pretend
And maybe I’m the fool?
Should've known better than to raise your blind
There’s no pushing you off that one
So I'm never gonna bet again
And lose my chips to you-oooh –ohh (Whooah)
(Now that you're gone) I have that hand I needed
(Now that you're gone) What you did Is SO wrong
its from your left to your right
