Random hands:

  1. Open 10 9 hh utg to 20, 1000 effective. Called by good, tight player in MP. Flop 7 8 J rainbow, I bet 20 he calls. Turn 4 bringing a heart draw. I bet 60 he calls. River non-heart queen, I bet 175. Thoughts/sizing ok?

  2. Open A 10 off to 20, 3 callers including aggressive asian in BB. Flop 863 checks around. Turn 10 completing the rainbow, I bet 25 and asian dude check raises to 125. I don’t see any way he checks a set twice, what’s our plan?

  1. cool

  2. call and get ready to snapcall the river bluff. he’s bluffing!

LOL I thought the same thing but apparently in NCAA you can come back inbounds and catch a ball.

First time a game has actually been rigged against Alabama.

Yea that fumble and muffed punt snap in the first 10 minutes was pure riggage

I don’t think you can from what they were saying, you have to be pushed out. I’m not sure, they were fully expecting it to be called back

Bleh. Guy just called off 1k (he bet 160, I shipped 1k to try to make it look like I had a big draw, I had a set) with naked flush draw and hit.

I swear I never hit my flush draws when I actually play poker while every board goes runner runner flush against me.

Shit like that is why I stopped playing poker for anything more than a $20 sit down w/ friends. I know the math says you made the right move but goddamn when you get burned it hurts. If you win that hand, it pays your vacation more or less.

standard.

guy probably had nfd. he says to himself, "this fool just jammed on me, he’s clearly on the semibluff. that means he’s got no pair and i completely own him or he possibly has a pair+fd in which case i’m like 51%. $$$$

It happened again. Same guy. J 7 4, we get in 1500 each (he bets 40, I make it 120, he ships 1500, hyachachacha), he nails the flush again. I legitimately have no idea how professional poker players maintain sanity. I basically never get upset and I definitely had Mike McD face.

See you all tomorrow for NFL degeneracy!!

Also: dude was pounding bud light on the rocks, wat? Literally 12+ of them. Somebody’s getting like $8k from him, I couldn’t stomach any more.

Like say you’re a Vegas pro and you grind these terrible games only to finally get a whale and you lose 2 buy ins on bad but not absurd run outs, how do you not go insane?

the strip clubs are pretty fun

Don’t you already have to be insane to be a live pro in Vegas?

And then even if you win, the whale buys back in and sucks out on you later unless you willing to rathole.

As a live (non-Vegas) PLO grinder, I’m immune to it. And possibly already insane.
