A serious thread about online poker

Am I supposed to post every time my kings get beaten by aces? Its part of the game man. Happens 80% of the time, right? If you had hit a king on the river, would you still post it? Probably not. Or if you had the aces and he had the kings? Probably not. BUT- if you had the aces and he had the kings, and he hit a king on the river... Yeah, I know you'd post that one. ;)


I guess what I'm trying to say is: ITS POKER
 
Haha, I know what you mean. I hope that post above didn't look dickish; I didn't mean it that way.


Its all selective memory anyway. If a hand came up where you spiked a king on the river to make trip kings to beat pocket aces (or where you had aces and they held up to kings), you wouldn't post that hand up anyway. It wouldn't look cool... It wouldn't show skill... You know what I mean?

Post it up here: "Check out my sweet suck-out! I got lucky for once*!"







* = it wouldn't really be the first time, but its that poker player selective memory thing again.
 
I play 2000 to 4000 hands per day.

I have at least 20 hands every day that are excruciating.
 
Poor baby.

Fascinating. I saw "latest post - Inova" and I immediately groaned. I knew it was going to be a pointless post, and it didn't disappoint.

I wrote what I wrote as a REPONSE to the discussion about nguboi's tough losses that he posted. The point of my post was, "Yes, we all lose annoying hands like that, no sense posting specifics."

You seem to have misunderstood that. Why don't you just go away? This is a serious thread about poker, and you obviously have nothing to add. Go troll the ecstasy discussion as you usually do.
 
I think you can transfer the hands. I don't see why not.

I always hated the way poker tracker changed my HH file names after import. Does it still do that? Hold em manager does not.
 
I go through insane dry spells at 45 mans, where I only need to outlast 39 people. In a 180 man? I cannot imagine. I admire you for even trying them, let alone succeeding at them.
 
I know what I was doing wrong. I think I was to push-heavy in early posisiton, you know, when you have that like 8ish M with a marginal A10-KQs etc type hand. Once I tightened up a lil bit, I started to get deep in my 180s. Ima grind em here in a few minutes

But shiat, I 10 tables for 6 hours yesterday and put in 148 games.

Went on life tilt, and put 50$ into the .25 .50 PLO game, and mann.. wtf! I had QQ66 double suit, potted to 2.25 in the SB, BB called, button called. I FLOPPED IT.. Q 6d 3d MAN! i flopped double set!! I check, dude bet 4, guy called 4, I potted to like 24, dude shoved for 29 i called...

He had openended straight+flush draw and got there on the river. Man, PLO is rapage at its finest.

Time to grind.

M of 8, those are hasty pushes.

I hate PLO. I only play HL.

A double set isn't especially useful though, you have your own cards for a boat.
 
The spots I am thinking of are a lil more than 8 I think. Like small example.

You got AQ UTG with 1250 chips, blinds 50/100. . This should be a fold... I THINK. if it is 100/200 auto shove... but risking 1250 to win 150? its situations like that, I might have 4900 chips with blinds 200/400 with A9o UTG. I think that is a bit to light for such early POS, i got called by sooooo many better hands just over and over again.. I played right tonight, I was to robotic yesterday.

And yeah PLO is the classic, i am on super tilt, time to go play PLO. The first major pot I lost at a PLO game, .50 1$ after I had won a substantial amount, I lost a 115$ pot when my river boat lost to straight flush. I have never had success at PLO.

And hey, did you all watch 2 months 2 million (2m2mm) on G4? That show is the online poker players life. I really enjoy it, those dudes are fucking nerds, but who gives a fuck when you are balla balla.


I don't fold AQ pre flop in an unopened pot. stack 1250, blinds 50 100? I think either shove, open to 300 and go the whole way if you get called, or try a limp reraise all in. Then again, maybe this is a leak of mine.
 
anyone wanna play on poker stars right now????

pm me or respond back here
