in terms of ROI I fully expect it to be like 1 or 2% though, bwhahahahaha!

[/ QUOTE ]Alright! You made money! Sweet!

Yes...I should be able to sort it out tonight after work and get back to everyone on some specifics.

It may be difficult b/c Empire stopped sending me HHs and Eurobet did too....and there are disrepencies between the HHs saved to my hard drive and the tournaments I actually played....so it will take some effort to figure it out on like very little sleep and without a functioning brain.

I have preliminary gorilla math numbers but I won't share those yet....

Like 17...but I ate them all last night in a flurry poker induced drunken celebration.... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I think my apartmentmate was very confused as I yelled:

'SHIP IT!!! BWHAHAHAHAHA BANANAS FOR ALLL!!?!?! DO YOU WANT CHAMPIONSHIP BANANA!!!??!?! I WON IN ONLINE POKAH!!?? BAAHAHAHBWHAHHAHAHAHAHA! 3u0 BITCHES!!!!!!'

At least I didn't lose any bananas during the challenge.

As Gwen says...this challenge was 'BANANAS, B-A-N-A-N-A-S.'

In the one $215 I played as part of my last set the following crucial hand came up.

I blame TheUsher *fully* for me even playing this hand and not force folding pre-flop, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]. My line if I check pre-flop would be a bit different as well. However, I am not familiar with $215ers at all and TheUsher had good notes on this guy which my decisions were based upon.

Villian is lirarerik for the $215ers who recognize that name. This information is crucial to how the hand was played.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter

Button (t745)
SB (t905)
Hero (t975)
UTG (t910)
UTG+1 (t1270)
MP1 (t1875)
MP2 (t1160)
MP3 (t1200)
CO (t960)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
7 folds, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (t60) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t50, Hero calls t50.

Turn: (t160) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t78, SB calls t78.

River: (t316) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t175.

Hero?

This tough decision could have been avoided had you just pushed preflop.

microbet · #9 05-31-2005, 07:47 PM

Yep, 2nd pair, crappy kicker, no draw.

There is no reason to call this down. The only reason to call the flop is to set up a bluff. If you are going to do that, you should probably make a decent sized raise on the turn to represent trips that are now protecting against the draws. If you want to represent hitting the straight on the turn, I guess you can wait until the river and push.

If you are going to make a gigabet-like move, I think you should raise the turn because you can still represent a solid hand without risking your whole stack.

This is exactly what I didn't do when I was playing against SevnFigures last night where I made a stupid-ass bluff with my whole stack.

In the other thread, I was talking about times where you are probably ahead of a donkey who is trying to make value bets with 2nd pair or TPcrappyK.

Gigabet, if you don't think my use of 'gigabet-like' is appropriate here, feel free to challenge me to a $10 HU match.

Yeah....figured it was best ~66% of the time.

TheUsher says this guy will auto bet this flop with any two and will be completing with most hands (that aren't already quite strong) in this situation pre-flop. Any two is a very large range. I am ahead of it most of the time.

Well, I can't raise on the turn...so I put in a bet that would either be a value bet if he has overs or would be enough to make him give up with his nothing hand. Frankly, one aspect of this plan is to induce him to want to bluff the river...the question then is what river bet is callable (means 'I am bluffing')?

Ugh...pushing so much into the pot if I check behind on the turn planning on raising his bet seems too risky. But this would be 'giga-like' as far as I can tell, [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].

I CAN'T RAISE THE TURN!!! HE DIDN'T BET!!!

If you mean go allin on the river...I thought about this for a few seconds among other actions.

Oh...and to the original hand that I posted....what do you do on the river? Am I correct to assume it's a clear fold in your opinion here??
