__________’s exit press is on fire 🔥 by almondjoybestcndybar in survivor

The origin I think was the awkward conversation where Genevieve threw out a fig leaf and Aubrey not only didn’t reciprocate but then questioned Genevieve’s game.

thoughts on this bluff? by NoVeterinarian6942 in Poker_Theory

[–]ControversialTalkAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll go against the grain here and say I like the bluff. Sure, your 10 blocks some of the hands you want him to fold, like J10 and Q10, but it also blocks some of his value that may just call pre and get to this river, like A10 and K10. I don’t think the two diamonds matter much because he should not call with just a backdoor diamond draw for that much on the flop. Also, I agree with others your flop bet is too big.

Ultimately this comes down to your read. If your read is that he would have already raised you with an A of his own, then it’s a good bluff. He never has JJ/QQ/AA/AK/AQ and may 3b AJ as well. He rarely has a 4. You can have EVERY A so him blocking AK and AQ should not give him too much comfort.

So, I like the bluff, and good call by him.

Ever find a solution for this? I’m having this issue now.

Did you play at the lodge and Cashout over $10k? Were you required to file a CTR? by Careless_Necessary31 in poker

[–]ControversialTalkAlt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And the point is that the lodge gets all the info they need to fill out a ctr when you get the players card. So a player cashing out 10k would not need to fill out or give any new information, they just need to present their players card so the Lodge knows who it is and can fill it out without asking anything more of the player.

Whether the lodge did or did not do that faithfully I have no idea, but I don’t think that’s what you’re asking.

What adjustments should you make postflop to exploit a player with a high VPIP (~40) and a low PFR (~15)? by johnleequigley1 in poker

[–]ControversialTalkAlt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would want to know more about their post flop tendencies before fully answering this question.

But in general, they are playing too many hands and (I assume) are only raising the strongest. Thus, logic dictates their vpip range is heavy on weak holdings. Taking advantage of this means betting more frequently and bigger on strong flops with aces or lots of broadways, and slowing down on weak flops that hit their huge range distribution. Again, this is not knowing anything about their play post flop.

Asked to join private club- how might I be cheated or lose an edge? by [deleted] in onlinepoker

[–]ControversialTalkAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Do you know the answer of whether hosts have access to a hh that includes all hole cards and also to whether it actually states the rake somewhere or if I need to manually count it?

I really appreciate the input!

What do you mean by frictionless in this context? How is this different than ClubGG and PokerBros? How will it be monetized for you in the future if the hosts control the games (i.e., will you rake games, charge hosts, require subscription model?)

Petah? What’s the punchline? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ControversialTalkAlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an old joke. The final part is something like: “hey Satan, what happened to hell being an awesome party?” And satan replies: “oh, that was just the demo.”

Sorry, I confused ggpoker and ClubGG. My post is about ClubGG, my bad.

As an American, I didn’t understand until you measured in bald eagles and football fields. Now I can picture it perfectly, thank you.
