Yes, every time your blind gets stolen and you fold you drink. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

I will honestly make an effort to participate this week. Maybe TaxChick will let me post a pic of our little cashew.

In other news, time for people to pipe in on what they'd like to see in NA v. Euro IV.

Hopefully I'll be home in time for the Pacific. Gotta work late and want to make up for going out 30/31 in teh Atlantic and betting into an open set with my AA in the Pacific.

They have usually run about 1-2 tables. With the notice posted at the top of the forum on a sticky by citanul (thanks!) we had 20 - 25 for each game last week. Probably the same this week, I hope. A little longer than a normal 2 or 3 table sit n go because the 2+2 gang are less inclined to drop out early on dumb plays. (Doc's excepted of course.) So a little over 2 hours probably for the winners.

Bump because Citanul is too drunk and/or lazy to make this a sticky.

/images/graemlins/mad.gif

[vindikation]

I'll play the Pacific. Hopefully on my drive home I won't sit in 2 hours of traffic and end up playing like an ass like I did last week.

[DrPhysic]

Give citanul a break. They won't let him post an unlocked sticky like last week. He worked real hard for us to get the sticky at the top of the forum with the pointer to this thread so we can have the usual bullsh** and still have a sticky notice at the top of 1TTF.

Anybody interested in a $10 last longer for the Atlantic game? I'll take the first two people to PM me.

It's a $10 bet at even money that I will bust out of the Atlantic tournament later than the person I'm wagering with.

Well, last time my TPTK lost to an OESFD on like the second hand so I really don't want to gamble. LLs with ANYONE are -EV for me, especially with this giganto cooler I'm on.

I didn't realize those sonograms could show a pocket pencil protector, taped glasses, and the tin beanie like that!!!!

[octaveshift]

So....... who is in for tonight?

I'm in.

[DrPhysic]

How many would be interested in a forum heads up holdem match?

Subject to interest, time date etc negotiable....

$10 or $20 HU NLHE on Stars at 13:00EDT Sunday? Later?

Discuss.

Doc

[hyde]

I like it.

weekday evenings are my most available.

Last second bump to see if we can boost enrollment 20 minutes before the tournament.

Yeah, come on people. 10 people sucks because Stars splits you into 2 tables.

This is my first one of these. I hereby nominate myself for "Most Likely to Bust Out First."

[bluewilde]

My bad y'all. I was gonna try and be there but my cashout from Empire didn't clear fast enough /images/graemlins/mad.gif (3:00, wtf is it taking so long). Anywho, it should be all set for Pacific though. Hope there's still a crowd then.

...hmmm...Pacific still has 0...not looking great.

[Jbrochu]

I'm up for it. $10 or $20 is fine.

(Heads up game that is)

[Jay36489]

Pacific got 25 ppl. I'm a bit short after curtains took my cheeeps!

[Freudian]

So I joined. My table selection sucks. Just 2+2ers at my table. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

I don't see what he could have here that he played in this way, besides AA, maybe 88. Total [censored] bluff seems like the most likely thing at this point, which is what I thought then, but I mucked it anyway.

[durron597]

So, of course I win when I get allin very far behind (2 outer on flop and 80/20 preflop) yet can't win a damned coinflip....

[/ QUOTE ]
...and even though I do such a good job laggin' it up in the Pacific Trout (J2o hits runner-runner wheel very first hand), KK and AA still get minimal action, and I eventually lose a coinflip after cashing.

gg all, especially gumpzilla, who consistently pwned me.

A set, as you mention, is certainly possible. AQ or AK are also quite possible, and in my opinion the most likely holdings. I'm trying to think what a realistic holding containing a 6 is, but I'm not sure there is one. I think you're beat pretty often on the river, though, so folding to the raise is good, in my opinion.

I think one thing to consider when you're playing against 2+2ers is that AJ does start to look substantially worse, simply because the only A's you're likely to get action from when you hit your A are bigger ones. After your flop bet gets called, I probably slow down and try to get to showdown as cheaply as possible. This is a place where being out of position is particularly unpleasant; checking the turn after getting called on the flop will frequently induce a bluf, but firing out again isn't terribly appetizing either.
