I think I would play it the same way, but the preflop call is marginal with only 2 limpers. I would either fold and wait for more players to limp with this on a later hand, or raise it on the button preflop.

Then again, I could be too tight in this position.

pre-flop limp is a no-brainer, and I think the flop call is one of those loose calls you're supposed to make because the flop is so cheap. All you need is a spade, a 9 or a K and you continue the hand and face another +EV situation.

Preflop is fine if the SB is a loosey. Routine afterward.

[BottlesOf]

Am I gonna see you tomorrow? I plan on going Mon. Tues. and Wed.

[sfer]

I plan on it. Josh and the others?

[sthief09]

one of my friends that I was going to go with started work and he's up at 4:30 every morning. I'll try to get there by myself when I can. I want to actually play against you next time.

[Yeknom58]

With such a raggy flop I think I might raise and probably take the free card on the turn.

[Joe Tall]

Given the description of the table and the players, I think you played it fine.

Peace,

[Nutz&Boltz]

With 2 early position limpers, I fold this preflop.

[sthief09]

then you're too tight.

With 2 early position limpers, I fold this preflop

Why?

HEY!

I multitable a lot ok?

But, consider the message conveyed.

[sthief09]

are you using UBet for the bonuses? how many hands do you have to play, and how many tables at a time? I can't win at poker so I'm going to make this a whoring week.

[BottlesOf]

YEs I'm on UB b/c I'm clearing like $250 in bonuses. I don't seem to win at poker either, but I am making a lot in whoring. Autoplay Blackjack RULES!!!!

As far how much you need to play, I don't keep very good track of that stuff, but I'd estimate...a dollar an orbit at 3/6 and up, so 150 orbits. 1500 hands, 25 table hours?

Am I way off?

[MarkD]

I looked into these bonus's but after doing the Pokerstars one UB seems insane. Way too long. Stars took me much too long, but maybe I shouldn't have cleared it at 2/4. I think my EV was higher at 5/10 party.

[BottlesOf]

In marked contrast to Pokerstars, I enjoy playing on UB. I find that the stars bonus takes me much longer to clear because its much harder to find playable tables.

[MarkD]

And if you just chose the first table you found and didn't worry about table selection what would the time comparison be between stars and UB?

I didn't worry about game selection and was playing 4 tables at once.

[BottlesOf]

Don't know. But often Stars won't even have 4 games at a given limit. They'll have like 2 and the % seeing the flop will be 17 and 23 /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[MarkD]

Well, you've convinced me that it might be worth downloading the software anyways. Yah, stars limit games were the prime suck.

I played NL on the weakend for fun though. I almost never play it so sat at the 0.25/0.50 $50 max buy-in. Those guys suck. Everyone is weak tight or horrible. I consider myself very bad at NL and also found myself dominating the tables.

[joker122]

Can someone explain to me the value of limping here? stheif, you seem particularly adamant about limping so I'd like to hear your case.
