I laughed at this as well. Maybe this is some new type of super-fish?

Are the Party 5/10 games really this soft?

Izhvanisti pazshoolsta. Peter I know English is your second language and as you can see from my pathetic attempt at Russian you look like a multi-linuistic whiz next to me, but I get a serious kick out of some of the stuff you say.

No idea what a unicum is without looking it up. "did me as a pioneer" is classic. Wierd pictures of sex in Alberta circa 1800

"He is a button" You slay me. Still laughing here.

Well someone could have flushed him out, wouldn't want to risk that extra bet on the river /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm trying to learn Eng. better:) But sometimes i just translate to Eng. some part of Rus. sleng without adaption (and because i don't even know - how it will be in Eng.)

Actually, if some of my statements makes somebody laughing - i really should not try to learn thus continuing to bring some positive emotions? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

In 1, I don't raise this offsuit from the BB. On the flop the cap is a bit aggressive, probably not +EV but not by much. Otherwise nice pot /images/graemlins/smile.gif

2 the preflop call is a bit loose. So is the call on the flop... you have 2 outs here almost all the time I would think. It's a big pot though. Nice river.

I would have slowed down on the river in the 3rd hand fearing KJ.

Why didn't you bet the river in the K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif hand?

Do you only play 5/10 SH?

Yep i agree with what you said. But i think that the most loose thing was call 2 cold on flop in hand 2. Calling preflop i think is not so bad while i had big implyed odds if flopped.

I really don't remember - maybe i was scared of second caller. I knew that they can cold call till river K7-KT all the time.

Now - yes. But planning to go to 10/20 in a month or two, when i reach bankroll of 20K.

I'm waiting in the 1/2 game til I get enough for 5/10. Hopefully you've moved on by then /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I moved to 5/10 SH from 3/6 - full tables. My brother's try to move from 1/2 SH to 5/10 SH failed, while he had success on 1/2. 1/2 and 5/10 actually very different.

I played 5/10 sucessfully about 6 months ago for 20-30k hands then had to withdraw almost my entire BR. So when I started up again I only had $250. Just trying to build it back up.

I'd bet the River in hand #2. It's a huge friggen pot, there's no reason to suspect a 4 out there given that everyone had to call at least two cold PF, no reason to suspect JJ the way the hand has gone postflop, and it's not unlikely that the button will check it through if you check (seeing as he didn't 3-bet the flopm and bet a Turn blank only when checked to). People certaily aren't going to give you credit for a 4, so you're likely to get a number of calls from worse hands here.

Check-raising isn't really a great option since you may get the same # of bets (or even less money) the times that the button does bet (and it doesn't appear likely than an earlier player will bet given the Turn checks).

Oh yeah, I'd probably fold the flop when it's two cold to you, due to the very real possibility of it being reraised and even capped. It would be ugly if BB 3-bets (since you'd pretty much have to call an extra bet, or even two more back to you given the pot size by that point). Paying 1 BB to see another card seems fine, paying 1.5 or 2 BB doesn't look so great. Worked out okay in hindsight.
