I know. It's not that simple, though. Regarldess, I didn't mean it to read like an attack. I just noticed that PokerBob (too many Bob's - sorry) seemed to have a lot of threads lately. I'm in no position to question someone who's played tens of thousands of hands more than I have at higher levels. I just wanted to mention it. A PM would have been more appropriate.

Are you the one guy who voted check? You ruined the first unanimous poll I'd ever seen on 2+2. And I'm including the polls that only had one option in that statistic. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Betting is easy. K7 or 55 are as likely holdings as anything else for this guy.

Also - if he actually DID have a Q then it would either have a high-ish kicker or low-ish kicker (the former he would have raised by now...the latter he likely could have hit 2-pair on this board and would have raised those too). The less we hear from him the more we can guess that he isn't calling with even a weak Q.

-------------------------------

There's a reason many of us read PokerBob's hands...because many of them can lead to interesting discussions that can help our game.

I agree that the traffic around here isn't terrifically high.
PBob's hands are starting discussions.

I look forward to PBob's HH's (hence the reason I've been responding to so many of them).


Some guys will post 5 or more HH's in a single thread to indentify their leaks. But this makes for a very confusing discussion where I am always having to scroll up and down to remember what the hell is happening and what ideas are applying to what hands.

PBob might post 5 hands a day in seperate threads...but i definitely prefer it this way. If the hand is uninteresting and easy-ish then it will die a quick death and get bumped off the front page.
If it's interesting then we can discuss it.


I also agree with the sentiment that PBob should reply more in other HH's.
I've given a few replies lately obviously (many in PBob's hands)...some were right, some were wrong (according to the consesnsus) and I'm identifying leaks and learning.
And occasionally I think I might actually add a fresh perspective to the discussion too (but mostly I'm trying to get confirmation that my idea is either decent or lousy)


numeri is certainly correct that we have a plethora of Bobs though.

Re: value bet poll
 

betting here is a must. I'm sorry I missed the part where it was unanimous, as it should be.

As an aside: I know you're struggling lately, but I get the sense that this forum has become "MicroBob's personal forum" and nobody wants to say anything because you're respected and everyone feels for you. The thing is, I'm not sure it's productive. I'm a very short-term winner, so of course I have no advice for you, but I think there are others out there who'd also like to post some hands as well. Just my 2 cents.

I have 2 disagreement's with this. First, this isn't MicroBob. Second, there is tons of forum space. I have no problem with people making tons of posts, as long as each post is constructive. I actually feel like we don't have enough traffic, so I would encourage to make as many posts as PokerBob is making. Sure, it is all comming from the same person, but what difference does that make to the people reading the posts?

He is trying to improve his game, and the one of the best ways to do that is to post, and to reply to posts. It may seem like he has a ton of posts out there right now, but I am sure it will slow down. Even if it doesn't, I have no problem with 20 posts a day from the same person.

Yup.
