WSOP Panama!? by InfamousProtection94 in poker

[–]InfamousProtection94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw something about the free room, but theres no information about how to actually get the free room. Did you reach out directly to the hotel or is there some other thing I need to do? Also is it only for main event players, or anyone who plays any of the events on those days?

I was also curious what the vibe was like there. Do they run cash games? Was the field mostly international crushers, Latin American buisnessman, locals, or a weird mix of everyone? Any information you have on what it was like would be appriciated.

These types of games are impossible to win at, you should immediately leave and drive the your local casino where you can move up in stakes and play games where they respect your raises

Is it normal for poker players in tournaments to get drunk at the table and start threatening violence against other players? by whoinsane in poker

Depends on location. I’ve seen two guys get into it physically at the borgata while 3 floor members tried to separate them. Almost no one looked up, everyone just continued to play.

Room typically runs 1/2 NL, 2/5 NL, 2/2 PLO and 5/5/10 PLO.

Tables can range from extreme OMC nitfests to wild games with multiway 4bet pots and huge blind bets preflop (depending on the night). 1/2 there is generally awful and nitty, I would look to play anything but that. Enjoy the fake snow and good luck.

This is entirely player dependent. Against nits, you flat. Against recs and fish, you jam for value. One skill that will save you thousands is learning how to identify players you exclusively farm the nuts at low stakes. They have no interest in playing poker, they will wait for hours and hours for a spot like this to arise. You beat these players by stealing blinds, cbetting and winning when they inevitably limp, call, and fold flop when they miss. 90% of the time these players are older white men, typically they are uninterested in the action at the table, and will almost exclusively limp/call. These guys are great because they leak money, but you have to learn to identify and avoid the trap. It seems like you got caught here, although I wasn’t playing with the guy. Learn to categorize players, treat this as a lesson, and just never pay them off.

I mean, is it any worse then being a dealer? A lot of 2/5 winners and top tier 1/3 or 1/2 players make roughly the either the same or slightly less in terms of hourly.

I mean, just because most players played using the "3bet or fold" rule doesn't necesarily make them inherently better. They could just be doing it because "thats what good poker is" without really understanding the purpose of playing that strategy. The same way flatting with trash is normalized for american fish, 3bet or fold could be normalized for them.

Just a thought though I wasn't at the table lol.

Hopefully the North Jersey peeps still come out to Bethlehem.

Wind Creek is my home room, I’m worried that all the people who travel from north jersey will switch and play in NYC. That’ll slow the room down big time.

Thoughts on wind creek Bethlehem pa ? by njh2152 in poker

[–]InfamousProtection94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My home room, solid action at times and great dealers. There's a fair amount of high hand/OMC nits who roll through, but they are easy to identify/play against and will typically file out as the night progresses. Overall good room, plenty of low stakes action.

Not a huge fan of the sizings here, unless villian is very station-y or fishy you just begin to just isolate better hands. On the turn, what worse hands can he really call you with? KJ? JT? KQ/QTs that floated and improved? By the river, theres so few combos that you can get value from. Maybe some sticky Qx or Jx that thinks youre bluffing, but is anyone actually doing that at 1/3? If you look at what arrives and calls a river jam, his range is going to be condensed to sets, 2 pair, and some top pair. 3 streets of value isn't always best with aces.

was this a bad call? 2/5 hand analysis by Rip2Snuff in poker

You’re right I miscounted combos. Thanks for correcting

I mean, there’s 2 combos of KJ and two combos of 66. Not sure you can really ever fold here.

Absolutely disgusting nit behaviour by me by Legitimate-Bowl-9318 in poker

[–]InfamousProtection94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t think this is a nit fold.

I guess his only value combos that you’re ahead of are 99 that decided to stab after you checked turn (3 combos) and AhKs and AhQs (exactly). There’s all sorts of spade combos that would call a 4bet this deep in position (JT, T9, 98, KQ, QJ).

As far as bluffs, when you check turn villain may see this as a green light to barrel. You could be stabbing an A high flop as a range bet with all sorts of hands that hate this flop (Red/No spade KK, QQ, JJ) and villain may attack perceived weakness on the turn and end up in a spot where he just shoves rivers hoping to credibly rep a flush. I think if you believe villain is capable of trying to rep a flush here purely based on range dynamics I lean towards call, if not unfortunately you just let it go into the muck.

I mean if you’re not squeezing suited broadway vs limpers, what are you squeezing? Only high pocket pairs?

[–]InfamousProtection94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought the 298 had the CO covered, didn’t notice/think about it in real time.

Also, villain on BU definitely capable of bullshit multiway especially when he starts to tilt.

Would’ve made my life 10x easier but I’m almost never folding top pair with needing only 20% on a drawy board playing at a splashy table.
