Most people do.

Its a weird one, most people think they play too many hands but in reality they just play the wrong hands in the wrong positions

Reminds me abit like the morecambe and wise sketch.
Playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order ;)

Hand example scenario.
-----------------------------
You 3Bet 689T in position and flop a Ten high flush. How do you proceed both in and out of position against a reg

In NLHE you can get 3 easy streets of value, but in PLO if you CBET when checked to or Lead if you were OOP and get raised difficult to know where you stand.

Whats the general line
OOP - Bet/Call, Check/Call Turn and Check/Fold to a River Shove (If Aggro is this always a call down as they are gonna have alot of crap and be putting you on AA)

Depends a lot on your flop and turn c bet frequency and what you do with AAxx here. Seeing as it's a 3 bet pot, your probably going to bet call it off in this situation if you choose to bet.

It's a good spot to check flop and get into call mode but obv more hand details needed to say

To be fair, he is one of the best in the game, I think he had a slight bit of a brain fart and didnt get the range quite right. Its really hard for him to beat my range, and this is the absolute lowest hand I have and hes behind it.

One time lapse more than anything else though, as I said, one of the better regs.

People always remember the bad then don't come again. Good we don't remember. Hence such thoughts. Poker is a difficult game at a distance over the years. If you take less then it will all depends on your variance in which way it will swing. I have a friend who just started to play and immediately came under minus and so serious. He threw the game

Gotta pay attention to that post count man. 21. He's in it for the freerolls.

And probably translating your responses into Romanian or something and then writing in Romanian and translating THAT into Spanish before translating into English (all using Google Translate, of course).

Yea I think the translation finessed what I said and made him think of a different point, I actually understand what he's saying

Genuinely the first time I've noticed a Cardschat notification in weeks, must be fate

So, so unbelievably pleased for you. Hugely deserved.

Coming to London, the drinks are on you ;)

Congrats on your score Marginal!

Well done. Are you going to be at the wsop this year? Perhaps we can meet up at some point and swap notes on the field.

Nope, no WSOP for me, have other commitments, I swear at some point I will go to it but just can't figure out when that is as yet. Timing is never right

What does Pop's think of this score? Is he asking for a cut since he's obviously taught you everything he knows?
