***CRUSHING JANUARY CA$H GAME THREAD***

[DunningKruger]

I didn't think about the hand very much before throwing out a quick reply. Ad would have to be on board when there's two jacks lol. Reading marginals post I would agree you don't have AA much even weaker ones but you should still have a decent number of boats.

 

[vinylspiros]

so do you guys call or fold the KK in the PLO hand? im not good at PLO so for me it looks like a snap call.

 

[Marginal]

It's hard to say because his range is super polarised but if we assume he is good this line makes more sense as a bluff than a call. I don't fold here I don't think but it's close to be honest

I guess it teaches him for slowplaying the nuts but jeez there's a lot of spew in there.

I was thinking: " his small flop raise looks like kings or jacks that hated the flop" and i decided to pull my aggrobananas line on him(with no draws whatsoever) and just raise it. then when turn gave me a gutshot,i thought,i have to continue here cause i dont like giving up too easy(ORIGINAL SPEWTARD) and when i saw the 5 on the river,i literally thought i witnessed a miracle. THEN HE JAMS and i heard angels singing. And then i saw what he had and i thought,its time to post and share the skill level at 10NL.

Calling pre was your 1st mistake. Pure spew.

 

[vinylspiros]

no brainer, you playing 10NL on stars?

That was my thought process as well. Seems like such a great place to bluff since it's such a nutty board, but at the same time, I couldn't put together a range that x/r that board since his nut hands are going to be so far ahead that x/j seems too strong.


Anyways, I tanked for a while and ended up begrudgingly calling. He mucked after river was a blank 2c. Hero scooped.

I did a search online for that vinyl hand to try and see if it was posted from the villain's perspective anywhere else, like in a poker is rigged topic or something like that. Nothing came up though.

Damn, RIP Glenn Frey. As a fellow singer who thrives in the key of G, he was an inspiration to me. Sad day for music

Anyone won more than $2.50 in the Stars cash game quests yet?

 

[xdeucesx]

brag: Posting a 500$/hr rate this month
beat: only played 40 hours
variance: going to blow it all on booze in AC in a few weeks


Also, Arranit informed me today that he is currently practicing a bankroll management strategy of 400 bis per level. He's grinding 50nl w/430 bis, will be moving back to 25nl if he loses 30 bis and drops to 400 bis. So yeah, if you ever feel like poker has you down, just remember...you're not such a whale that you need 400 bis for a specific limit

Double post: I made a terrible mistake and signed up for an 8 am corporations class. In an effort to force myself to go to class, if I miss more than 25% of the total classes (gives me 5 absences roughly), I'll give away 250$ to a random person in the thread. (50$ punishment per absence)


No idea how I will determine winner, but hopefully this will force me to wake up tomorrow morning.
