ok, cash game question(Im quite new to ring), sorry I havent got the hand history, but can remember it:
10NL FR table, new to table, no reads.
Button raises it to 30c, Im in BB and reraise to 90c with AKos.
Button calls.
Flop comes KJT rainbow.
TPTK for me, so I bet $1.50, button shoves for $10.
Is this always a fold?

General rule is don't fold TPTK in 3bet pots. We're ahead of some pure and semi bluffs - AJ/AT/QQ/99/QJ/QT - and way behind on AQ/KJ/JT/JJ/TT (all of these are hands that will flat on btn to a 3bet from BB).

Hate calling w no reads, cuz if Villain has a brain he should be worried we have two pr or better here, if he shoves anyhow we should be up against at least a set or a bluff. But I hate folding TPTK in a 3bet pot more than calling here - guess I'm calling and hoping to see a Q on the river.

Yucky spot, not keen on cbetting here. What do others think?

I am going to quit poker. I no longer believe it is possible to win.

It has taken you mere years to figure out what it takes most people more than a lifetime to discover. Be happy!

(p.s. poker is rigged pbv)

I'm fine with discovering that post mortem while enjoying a lifelong heater during my lifetime...


AG, poker is beatable. At least most forms of it are. But it's probably getting harder and harder. There's no shame in quitting while ahead.

On the Leatherass well thread - I was thinking it should start after people have a chance to get the book and read it. But he would like to do it soon and it would probably be good to do it while he is fired up about it. He said he would love to start it within about a week - but xmas is next week and I am worried some of you won't be around. So I was thinking maybe getting him to start it right after xmas - the week of the 28th. Some of us would have had time to start the book by then.

Any thoughts about the timing?

I'll be around, I think the guys who will be on break from school are the ones who may not be, not sure?

 

[slycbnew]

Oh, yeah, I should point out there's zero chance for me to read his book in time (unless it's in ebook form? that'd be sweet, I didn't check). I wonder if there's a one paragraph synopsis that he'd be comfortable sharing with us about the book so those of us who won't have read it will be able to ask good q's? I promise I will buy and read the book.

There's an ebook version and a hardcover version. Both cost $40 (plus shipping for the hardcover). You can get both for $60 + shipping. And the coolest thing is that you can pay by transferring money on either FTP or PS.

Sweet, thanks! Just goes to show how lazy I am, this is what I deserve ---> cguru:

Now there's no chance I won't read it in time...

yeah, crap about having no reads, but that can't be helped sometimes.
With the hand in question, i wish I could say i folded, but Im afraid I let my heart rule my brain and called, he showed jacks for the set.
Guess I have to be more cautious next time..........

So on Sunday morning my family wants to take family photos. How do I get out of it. Need a quick solution.

 

[S93]

-Fake a run deep in big mtt(or rather run deep in a actual big mtt since its
-more +ev).
-Infect your self with Leprosy(i gurantee they will cancel the photo shoot).
Just do the family photo since its only a hour of your life.

Thats your only 3 options afaik.

 

[Munchrs]

daks - that time would probably suit most

It would cost me like 120$ USD to get organised for it. New shirt and a haircut are expensive as hell.

Okay - will probably tell him anytime after xmas day then.

It would be nice to have a chance to read his book 1st before asking questions,I agree.
Mid January would give me a chance,as long as it gets here by the 28th or so.If you do it sooner can always ask questions other than the material in the book.

+ if its going to last for 1-2 weeks or more, his 2p2 well lasted about 4 i think. Then anyone who cant ask their questions are probably just to freaking lazy too get online and do it.

 

[Debi]

I am going to ask him to try to commit to 2 weeks if the thread remains active - that will give us all time to read the book and still get in the thread.

Tell them you have swine flu. That should keep them away for a week or so.

I wont joke about that, I had a swine flu scare a month and a half ago. They nearly shat themselves.

while Im here, here's a question: this table was a deepstack, but I bought in for my normal $5. Surely if you wanna play deep then you just go to the 10NL table, right? what am I missing here?
