bodog 5-10

[mosta]

Bodog is a pretty small player pool. you really have to know who the fish are. The first day I watched the game I thought sibhawj was a major fish--he burned off several buy ins fast. now I know he tilts occasionally and likes to play hyperaggressively with his first buy in. but he is far from a fish. as for everyone else, the game turns from good to bad in the blink of an eye, with the game looking the same hyperactive style the whole time.

I vaguely remember hock, but not really. I've played 4 or 5 times and peeked in another half dozen. I'm probably just forgetting. The thing that gets me is how sib always has 3 buy ins within half an hour of sitting down, and I commonly see him with $7 to 10+ thousand. actually Josh Arieh seems to be that way too, but I haven't seen him in a while. but also the last time I was watching, sib had his 3k or so, but another guy was taunting him for being down $15k on that table. I have no idea if it was true. he didn't deny it.

sib limps behind a limper with Ac Kd Tc 9c. button raises pot with 6s 7c 8h 8c. sib pretty much never folds after putting money in pf. Ks 9s 4d. sib check calls the pot, $135. Ah. sib check calls the pot, $405. 5d. Sib check calls the pot, $1,215. and drags it. I guess part of why I shouldn't be playing this game is because I'd need at least a $100k bankroll, probably a few hundred, to throw money around like that. the variance in this kind of game where you have to be able play big with 2 pair is completely different and beyond anything in a $200 game.

this hand, yeah on this board it's rather reasonable, but still that's a lot of money on two pair.
