***February Fever Poker Chat***

[feitr]

@ shrog WCG is a guy who is trying to win $10000 at nl25 in one month offering 3:1 to phil gordan (could have got like 10:1 probably). He tried it before last year sometime and iirc he got like 2 or 3 weeks in, played like 300k hands, and won about $3.5k before burning out.

If i got good enough odds i'd probably back him (just coz i've got to think he thinks he has a good chance after doing it and failing the first time).

Karma baby. On this table the villain commented after I had won the first hand. The villain said: "Just look at the icedonkey throwing his chips around"

Bob_tiger was railing ... so when this happened, I smiled

You have to bet the flop on that one Ice.

 

[blankoblanco]

two pair again, we get all-in on turn, he hits gutshot on river. 90% sure the doomswitch exists now. it's pretty astonishing how badly i've run in almost every hand for 5 hours today. only saving grace is i've played awesome and continue to make really solid laydowns. sigh

 

[vanquish]

You have to bet the flop on that one Ice.

i agree with this

 

[switch0723]

5 hours today.

fml, not good imo

 

[blankoblanco]

KK, A flops
KK, A flops
KK, A flops
KK, A flops
KK, J high flop! yes! oh, villain has JJ

my problem is this: i don't know how to make a hand without the other guy making a better hand. someone teach me that. this is absolutely ****ing insane

 

[switch0723]

stop refreshing your user cp page and reply to my PM then bitch, that is insta cure to the doomnessage

Wow, i'm glad you won and all but postflop is such a giant mess. Checking that flop is just so so bad...just so bad lol

That looks exactly like something I would do. Except with the worse hand and I'd lose.

 

[blankoblanco]

done with today's crapfest. actually lost very little because i kick ass, was surprised when i looked at my HEM. but holy mother of god did they pile on the set-ups and awful boards for every single big pair i held

obv i'm way too good so FTP has to program my internet pokers on "hard" mode to even things out

 

[vanquish]

let the purity of evil flow through you

 

[icemonkey9]

The monkey needs some love today guys.

JJ hits set at the flop. Stackoff, shows KK, hits set I lose.

KK AIPF ... yet again run into AA. I just can't believe how often this has happened lately.

 

[switch0723]

omg this is so fking sick (and completely non poker related, but non thread worthy)

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/62/bbv4life/long-overdue-mspaint-time-has-come-105902/index9.html

Basically skip all of the posts that aren't of the comic and it is incredible

cliffnotes: Guy draws a comic on mspaint, and has fking insano sick skills

 

[vanquish]

my appetite for blood is gruesomely insatiable

 

[Jagsti]

Actually, I dont mind the chk on that flop with the nuts. But Ice ffs stop with the 'I run worst than anyone!', PLZ!

 

[switch0723]

but ice doesnt run worst than anyone, zach does!!!

I mean he run worse than humanly imaginably possible and ended a session in profit :hmmmm:

I think i got february's run worseness trophy hands down, 25 buyin downswong > losing a coinflip

 

[eNTy]

Thank you for making my day switch !!!
(with the ms paint thread)

 

[blankoblanco]
