btw I never feel like I should respond to these threads as I have already discussed the hand but my basic view is that you must check raise the flop or call and bet out the turn. I have not yet been convinced otherwise by Rap (nor have I been torn a "new one", perhaps that is reserved for irie [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])

its its only for irie. i gotta get worked up before i start tearin new ones. go play yer 215s where its necessary to push small edges, and you dont have the luxury of finding better spots. holla

LOTS of pots in the CORRECT SITUATIONS

Like, for instance, PaiGow Poker where you are a 3.75% dog, or risking your entire "real" BR on a BJ coinflip, or spending allnight PM'ing some ragass-polesucker [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

were talking about poker grampah, not my other leaks.. and for the record, that skrippa kept txting ME, called ME, and i just played along.. also, in the pai gow at COMMERECE, in LA, not VEGAS, when i was betting BANK every time, im not a 3.75% dog. gg. holla

a lot of my game consists of making plays to pick up LOTS of pots in the CORRECT SITUATIONS. this is not one such situations. holla

You know this, but if most of your value calls end up being correct you're probably not calling enough.

[/ QUOTE ]

damnit yer still missin the point. THINK!!!! im not making a flop call for value, its for info. if he comes again hard on the turn, i can get away with minimal risk. i SEE things.

as for calling not enough.. well yea, 5 and 6 handed i probably fold too many hands when pushed into, but no1 there will be raising more against those weak tighties, so it more than makes up for it. im still trying to figure out the ideal push to call ratio for me at the 55s. another couple days should do it..

btw, uve turned into a very good player in the last 3 months unarmed, im pleased [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] holla

anyways, the results are pretty much meaningless to me, as i try to make the best play regardless of what happens. buuuuuut.. i duno, i trust my feelings more than most, and they are nice to me more often than not.. intuition is a powerful ally in the game of poker.

also, im not trying to justify my argument with results. i still think its the best line to take even if he flipped over A5. holla

wtf? I mean I actually discussed THIS hand already, and I usually don't respond to these threads where I have done that.

edit: took out the annoying gif.

As far as I could tell your only previous post in this thread had been "OH, SNAP."

Don't make me invade Canada!!!

Presumably he means he discussed it with raptor over IM or something like that.

[microbet]

Could be. Obvi, I was just suggesting that we would benefit from Apathy's thoughts. I'm not sure whether my saying that is nice or the fact that I thought it was necessary to say it is not, but just in case, I'll add an anti-canada joke.

MAN:
an animal so lost in rapturous contemplation of what he thinks he is as to overlook what he indubitably ought to be. His chief occupation is extermination of other animals and his own species, which, however, multiplies with such insistent rapidity as to infest the whole habitable earth and Canada.
