Third Coming of the Designated No Content Thread! (Post it in here!)
 
Once again, the No Content Thread has far too much content. Thus, it is once again time for a new one, and once again, I'll get things kicked off. I was having a pretty good night until this hand:

Party Poker 3.00/6.00 Hold'em <font color="#0000FF">(6 handed)</font> link

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (4.00 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG folds, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, SB calls.

Re: Third Coming of the Designated No Content Thread! (Post it in here
 
So I have been getting way more frustrated than usual these last 4 days when losing at my new level (5/10 SH). Then I clued in when I looked at my graph. 3 completely separate 100BB downswings in my fisrt 10k hands at 5/10 6max. Still up, and feeling confident, but my headphones took a trip across the room today.

As a side note, what's a typical win % for AA? 60.9% seems low.

[VENT]

Clearing my $100 bonus at Paradise I was up 40 BB playing .5/1 with only 150 raked hands to go to clear the bonus.

In the last 150 raked hands I went on a 40 BB downswing, and really, I can't say I played any of those hands badly. The real kicker was an AK I had raised got cold-called by 62os and the flop came A-2-6. Turn was a 6. Perfect.

4 times I had trips beaten by the board filling up with four to a suit I didn't have. Just [censored] PAIR will you!!!!

Ack! Anyway, I made it through up $100 in my bankroll. When is Party's next reload?

[/vent]

Back to more NC.

Getting the Best of It - 30 Second Review
 
Absolutely no threads about it on the live forum or the archive, and it's certainly not worth creating a thread about it, so NC here we are.

Has anyone read Getting the Best of It? It's probably a little too 'general' for most players who are just interested in making a few bucks at 2/4. But for the anal like me, this book is phenomenal. I love the slightly better description of using game theory to bluff, and the sections on odds, EV, and Bayes Theorem are great. Things I already knew, presented in a much better way with new ideas to ponder. The best sections, however, are clearly the 'Interesting Dice Proposition' (8 6 vs 7 7) and the 'Another Gambling Paradox' chapters. The latter is required reading for anyone who has ever muttered the phrase 'multiway hand'. This is good, good stuff, and if you ever care to take your game beyond a preflop chart and 1.5bb/100 at 1/2 and really understand gambling (which is what we are doing), this is a great place to start.

Re: Whats WA/WB?
 
WA/WB = Way Ahead or Way Behind

For example, if you have pocket kings, and the flop has an ace with no draw, you are either way ahead someone who doesn't have an ace or way behind someone who doesn't.

10-05-2005 12:04 PM

How many 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]'s are in that decK? You should probably review their card-dealing policy too...

Seriously, though, that sucks -- I thought all the sites had some sort of all-in protection if you get disconnected. You could always play at Absolute where it waits for about a half an hour if some player gets bumped...

EDIT: Dammit, Wookie! (I lose.)

Crap. Now Full Tilt is rigged, too.

Ah crappy. I don't remember exactly what soooted junk the donk had, as I was tilting, and I didn't get a HH log on that one.

No kidding. I never played at Absolute until this weekend when I started clearing their 150% bonus. I swear, it feels like an Absolute table moves even slower than live play! I'm also consistently using my "tight table" starting hands for the first time ever. (!)

I'm considering switching to 6 max to get more action and get the rake up (to clear faster)...anybody play .25/50 or .50/1 6 max there?

Don't play full ring at Absolute. The 6 max games are good.

are the 6-max games at absolute juicy?

I don't think they're quite as good as party, but there are still plenty of bad players. They are way, way better than full. The 6 max games are typically a few donks with one or two rocks who are hold overs from full ring play. Neither play well short handed. Just be sure to get the rock on your left.

I got disconnected more at FT than any other site. Ever. Table selection sucks there too because there are typically only about 3 or 4 tables playing and everyone plays so tight and scared that any PFR pretty much takes the pot. No way to clear that 100% bonus in 60 days.
