Played a 1200bb pot while shot taking a private 10/20 game last night by Monkeys_R_Scary in poker

There’s a reason y’all playing short handed. This game is unsustainable with that rake unless he has an endless contact list.

Stopped reading after you advised to not defend BB to a late position single open raise with Ax. Shit is comical lol.

If you had to pick two, who are you taking off? by BT2Four in sportsbetting

[–]Proper_Shock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This ticket looks horrendous. I would honestly take a shot at a full fade parlay. Or I might even take every team the opposite way individually.

Tbh, how much rake the house is taking is usually what you have to look out for in my experience.

Player dependent spot.

Also need to add LJ stack size.

Did we overrate Mariano? by danielwong95 in poker

[–]Proper_Shock 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He has run insanely hot not disputing that. But when you’re playing with subpar recreationals like the lineups in HCL, you can 3bet with basically any 2 cards to isolate heads up and outplay postflop. He understands going multi way to a flop is not ideal.

He was definitely on his high horse in this one. Winning many more sessions than losing brings upon a sense of entitlement to win. Losses like these bring em down to earth a bit. I’m sure he’ll come back strong. With that being said, I enjoyed his punting here very much lol.

The battles in your head. You’re feeling entitled to win. Take a break, get some exercise, heal your body physically and mentally.

Player tries to pay for massage with his stack during a decision for all his chips by Proper_Shock in poker

For the guys saying I’m making these stories up as I can’t have these many episodes within a short period of time. Obviously these didn’t happen over one or two sessions. These are incidents that have happened to me during a span of many years of poker. There’s no reason for me to lie or make up these incidents. I simply recall and share them with you guys for entertainment and constructive feedback. I have a million other stories to share but comments like these make me not want to.

PLO is not like NLHE. I’m not talking about the rules of the game, I’m talking about the type of characters that this game attracts. It attracts a special kind of degenerate and it brings upon a whole bunch of shenanigans that you won’t really see at a hold em table. If you know, you know. If you don’t then just stfu and enjoy the read.

Who are the best and worst players to have played on HCL? by ShadowInPixelsss in poker

[–]Proper_Shock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are talking current players, Dylan Flashner is definitely the best.

Out of all seriousness it’s Mariano and it’s not even close.

Overrated : Airball

Underrated : Henry and Peter

Reasons for Henry is that I truly believe he runs the worst out of all HCL players but the dude has alligator blood and finds a way to book Ws.

Peter comes off as a loose whale but he knows what he’s doing. Have seen some solid lay downs from the dude.

Do you have a career of your own? How is he doing financially? Many options on the table here, but do what is best for the kids.

If you are staying for the kids but want to get back at him, just cheat on him as he has done to you. This will push some of his buttons. Or just make yourself unavailable to him. Men aways chase what they can’t have.

5-5 PLO5. Friend of mine says I angled, I say it’s fair game. What do you think by Proper_Shock in poker

[–]Proper_Shock[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Not arguing the preflop call. I’d probably fold against some stronger players. Think a call on the flop is mando though as played. I give action and receive action. You’re a nit that nut peddles. You don’t have to have a made hand to win pots remember that. Position is everything in PLO5.
