Wow.

Wa wa wee wa

Wow is right. You've made some *ahem* different posts for sure, but I don't even know where to start with this one.

Do you normally make plays like this? I'm not a cash game player, but this has got to be -ev. You have one player screaming strength in front of you, and you risk your stack on at best a coin flip and most likely domination. Check your PT stats, this could be a very significant leak (or not, like I said... I hate ring games).

Lucky sums it up.

Very lucky! wow

Im pretty sure the only reason he played it like that was because he was using the rampage method...You have to be super agressive as well as relatively lucky...

And the guy with the KK is posting on a bad beat board somewhere.

Never thought throwing my bankroll at the poker gods and hoping they throw it back can be considered a good strategy. More often than not, you'll be the one broke at the table...

That isn't my bankroll lol

My original investment into that whole pot is about $1 - $2

Huh?

It that's the case, then this is a total misunderstanding of what "rampaging" is, and an example of how a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands.

What I am saying is, I took $5 and earlier today I used rampaging to turn it into $250. Then I decided I will play loose with that money, and took $50 to a $0.10/$0.25 table and you obviously see what happened. If I lost that money, I wouldn't really feel like I lost anything.

Again, AG, I couldn't have put it better.

might want to go back and read that thread about rampaging.

whoa whoa whoa wait minute here, you WOULD of lost something. Why do people always do this, they win some money and think that it isn't their money. It is your money, you can withdraw it.

1. how did you buy into a .10/.25 with $50 when the max buy in is $25
2. rampaging is buying in minimums at all levels and building up there, not putting a full buy in at a table.

the point of rampaging is buying in for 20BB and getting paid off by weaker hands because of our short buy-ins. There is no way this play could be anywhere associated with rampaging.

I don't know, I must've won earlier and just forgot about it. And isn't rampaging buying in for the MINIMUM and trying to double up by stealing?

*Note, this hand was not rampaging it was me using the money I gained from rampaging.

And I do understand I would have lost something, but in a totally different way. I wouldn't be losing the money directly from my pocket, and at the end of the day I wouldn't have $250 less then when I started that day.

WRONG!!!!


It is money out of your pocket because you can go right to cashier and withdraw it and its yours.

you think when I play live and im up $800 in a 1/2 game (was a good sitting) I dont feel like that is my money? Online sometimes it does not feel like real money but guess what it is, it is money you can use in everyday life. When people start thinking about this they start playing stupid and going all in's with small pairs.

rampaging is buying in minimum and getting paid off, you were not in minimum. There is a reason once you double you $5 buy in that you leave!!!!!

How are you going to double up by stealing? You need to get called by an inferior hand-- that's the main reason for the min. buy in.

the stealing comes in at the higher levels and you are not stealing you are re-stealing.

im not quoting you because you are wrong just because you brought the point up, not directed towards you.

like if you are sitting at .50/1.00 and someone raises $4 and you shove then you are stealing about $6. Alot better then just shoving and picking up blinds. At the lower levels you are looking to get it all in as 60/40's or against a hand you have dominated like AQ vs their A9.
