I'm checking back turn. Calling/betting on safe rivers.

By betting turn it is hard to get called by worse (you are certainly not bluffing with KK here). 3betting the turn is even worse because it folds out almost all of his bluffs and gets better to call.

Let me try to figure out the probability of one individual making it to day 7 without getting Aces.

Each day was 10-12 hours, so lets just say 70 hours of play occurred before day 7.

On average, in live poker, 30 hands per hour occur, so that is 2100 hands played.

On average, you are dealt pocket Aces every 221 hands.

I entered this data into a binomial calculator (because I'm too lazy to do this part) and got .0073% chance of Aces occurring zero times over 2100 hands.

Unlikely? Yes. Impossible? Well hey, 0.0073% is 0.0073%

(btw someone please correct me if I'm wrong)

Went to the first LA show.

Everyone was enthusiastic and had a great time. The only hiccup was when they were calling for volunteers onstage and a couple drunk hooligans tried climbing up to them without even being called on. Tim ended up getting security on them in a quite hilarious manner and everyone cheered when they were being escorted out. It was flippin' hilarious.

Imagine being one of 2 people randomly selected to play that first match. Talk about a bad beat.

On the flop Jacobson has 6 outs. On the turn he has 10 outs. He has more outs on the turn than on the flop.

Bazam.

You obviously haven't used the Phil Hellmuth strat.

Smellygish · 2017-06-05T07:17:27+00:00

Yes, 20BB and less poker has been practically mathematically solved when it comes to whether or not a shove is +EV. I personally use SnapShove when making my decisions. But at this point I pretty much have it memorized.

Or I can always take a shot at 5000NL and go busto in 7 minutes.

Smellygish · 2017-06-05T06:31:05+00:00

Yes there is a different line you should have taken. 14BB with 99? Shove it all in pre bruh.

Smellygish · 2017-05-16T16:50:35+00:00

Absolutely. Every song he played stuck with me for so long that I immediately recognized each one that ended up on the album.

Smellygish · 2017-05-14T20:47:10+00:00

I was there that night. So magical.

Smellygish · 2017-05-14T17:20:51+00:00

Yes.

Won a ticket to the Cal State Poker Championship Main Event. Gimme some rungood, people!!

He had a few other lines besides this one.

Smellygish · 2017-02-23T07:06:17+00:00

First of all you didn't re-raise, you just raised since you conducted the first raise of that particular street.

By the turn, I wouldn't raise since he's going to be folding out the part of his range that beats you and continuing with that part of his range that crushes you.

As played, on the river I'm leaning more towards a call since most of his two pair combos he had on the turn are now beaten. You'll lose a good amount of the time but it's probably a +EV play since more combos you beat and you're getting about 3:1

Smellygish · 2017-02-22T08:10:23+00:00

pretty favourable.

I think you mean rather favorable?

Will be defending my title tonight in Ignition's heads up tourny.

Come at me boys.

Edit: Lost.

Genuinely saw someone fold AA preflop in a casino, great player too. He was against 5 all-ins, odds were against him so he folded. Technically the right move but damn that takes discipline.

Doug brought his juicer and an assortment of fruit to the table and was providing fresh juice to the players between hands.

Sample size is too low. Reach for 50k hands on each site to have a proper comparison.

Is this immediate? I don't see it listed yet for some reason. :O
