Nice picture

Yeah baby!



2nd time I've had them... and I actually won with them this time!

I dont know what youre talking about? There is no picture.

Problem with resolution - restored now

Stud player, huh? Nice starting hand for you and I'm glad they held up. Once I had that starting hand and I lost to a flush.

Second time in a week... I must be doing something right!



Slow played it and won a $25.20 pot! Not bad for the $0.50/1 table. Didn't make the boat till the river, so a bit risky, but it paid off.

Very nice Bombjack. Is that 1st pic the one from your blog? I haven't been dealt that hand yet, got dealt trip 8's and 7's once each and both times they improved to a full house .

I'm enjoying your blog Bombjack, i've read a few poker blogs but I find them hard to get into because they've been going for a few months or longer. I like yours because its new and I can follow it easier. I hope you keep it going.

damn! Niceee ! Spread some of that pocket rocket lovin' around!

Yep, I did post the first picture on my blog - it's so pretty. Had it as my desktop wallpaper for a while.

Rolled up anything you'll get once every 425 hands on average. Rolled up aces every 5525 hands. Seeing as I've only played 334 hands on PokerRoom, getting them twice seems pretty lucky. What's the chances? My stats is a bit rusty... anyone know how to work it out? (See nerdy notes below.)

Glad to hear that you're enjoying the blog. Now I know I have at least 1 reader!


NERDY NOTES
If you approximate to the Poisson distribution with k=2 and lambda=(334/5525), you get P(x=2)=0.00172 i.e. 0.17% chance of getting them twice in 334 hands. Questions:
1) Is this approximation valid?
2) A better statistic would be P(x>2). How do you work this out?

Very nice bombjack. I never have seen this in my hand before. Where do you hang your horseshoe?lol

Here's me in action later on the NL hold'em tables!

... and you're calling UTG?

Nothing sweeter than aces rolled up, although for some reason it doesnt surprise me theyve been cracked before.

He checked his OOP-posted blind (see chat box)
I'm sure Bombjack must be a pretty poor player to have lost with AAA, but limping utg is something I think we can safely assume he wouldn't do

Aha, sorry.

You posted UTG?!?

Well I thought about raising.... but then thought "naaaahhh".

I suppose I could have waited 1 hand for the big blind, but usually I just auto-post and for one hand pretend I'm Gus Hansen and don't need cards to win.
