So yesterday we got a semi-LP.net home game together with mfcmurray, Avi8tion, tbc79, luminous, and myself at a NL25 6-Max table. I proceeded to do my usual ass kicking and built up a nice stack of $125+ through these hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/144706 - tbc how you expect to think that's going to hold vs me? I run infinitly good. You should know that!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/144708 - Obv I have quads here. Surprised? You shouldn't be! I get this hand like 15 times a day!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/144709 - The river loves JonnyCosMo.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/144710 - Re: what I said above.

Then Lee Jones seemed to have enough of me pwning ass for one night, as I proceeded to be souly responsible for rebuilding luminous' bankroll in the following hands:

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/144711 - Gah Cooler!
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/144712 - ZOMG how does KK hold up here??

And finally... this hand is just too ugly for a hyper-link:

So today I have been watching a lot of cardrunner vids. First it started off with watching aba20 play $10/$20 and obviously not being use to the betting sizes as he jammed $1000 into a $120 pot in one of the hands and didn't even think twice about it. I proceeded to watch a number of other videos from NL200-NL600 and realized how boring Taylor Caby and Andrew Wiggins is to listen to. The world of instructional poker videos needs a savior... and fast!

So I have put in a request to a very special someone in hopes to change all this. TalentedTom, please save us all from the boredom we must expierence to gain poker knowledge!!



I will be posting a random TalentedTom picture everyday until he releases his video. Show your support for this idea!!

This might not seem as interesting to some of you as it does to me, but I think this is a really interesting situation. I'll walk through my street by street thinking.

Dealt to Daut44 [4c 5c]
casinocasino: raises $100 to $150
alex987: folds
$tinger 88: calls $150
eskimo: calls $150


I'm in the cutoff, have over 100bb effective stacks against 2 of the 3 players already in as well as position, so this seemed like a pretty good spot to see a flop with a suited connector. This is a pretty trivial call.

Daut44: calls $150
arulx: calls $150
hotmark777: calls $125
H@££INGGOL: folds

So we're seeing a 6 way flop. It feels like play money. The potsize at this point is 950.


*** FLOP *** [3h Kc Ac]
hotmark777: checks
casinocasino: bets $900
$tinger 88: folds
eskimo: raises $22 to $922 and is all-in

Hotmark checked, casino bets out nearly potsize into 5 other players, stinger folds and the shortstack pushes for $22 more. This means, if I were to call, casino wouldnt have the option of raising because this is not a legal raise, so he can only call.

Now, there's no way im going to raise and bluff the dry sidepot, and since casino cant reraise all I have to worry about is the 2 players left to act behind me. One of these players is hotmark, who already checked. The other player is not likely to have a huge hand so I dont really have to worry about them. Also, if they do, im only investing 900 here, I can decide to do something later based on their action. So I flat called.


Daut44: calls $922
arulx: folds
hotmark777: folds
casinocasino: calls $22


Luckily the two other players fold. so now, the shortstack is all in and I am hu with casino with a gutshot+flushdraw. the potsize is now roughly 3700.


*** TURN *** [3h Kc Ac]
casinocasino: bets $1550

Ok, so i turn the nuts and casino bets out kind of weak (about 40% pot). Now here is where the hand really gets interesting. I have 2500 remaining. Most people would consider this a trivial decision, I have the nuts, WITH a redraw, wtf kind of decision do you have here?

Ok, look at the action up to this point. Casino raised utg in an 8 handed game. He then led a 6 way flop with a potsize bet, and then led the turn. Since a player is all in and we have a dry sidepot hes not going to be bluffing at it. So we can rule out QJcc, JTcc and QTcc. Since the A and K on board are both clubs, there are no other strong hand+draws out there.

He also isnt ever bluffing here (dry sidepot). Additionally, theres almost no way he plays weaker aces or middle pair like this ever. That leaves the following hands making up the majority of his range: AA KK AK 33. Outside possibility of A3 and AQ. So lets say 90% of the time he has a set or top two pair here, very very strong hands.

Now, I know if I push he will call, but that isnt the issue. The issue is, is it better to flat call and then possibly save money by folding on a board pairing river?

Consider it this way: If he misses boat and the river isnt a club, he is definitely getting the rest of his money in. If he misses a boat and the river is a club, he STILL may put the rest of his money in, i mean after all the pot would be about 6800, he has 2500 left, and i have position. That makes it really like I get paid off even on a club river. Finally, if the board pairs and he shoves, I still can fold, saving myself money when he hits his boat.

I heavily heavily considered flat calling. But instead, I decided to shove for the following reasons:
1) he always calls
2) he might fold on a club river
3) he might shove a board pairing river with top 2pair and i could fold the winning hand


Obviously if the board pairs A or K ill fold to the shove, he now has a boat no matter what (basically). But if the board pairs 2 or 3 and he shoves, i think I would have to fold, ESPECIALLY if its a club. The reason behind this is he would probably check AK if the river were 2c or 3c, cause now hes not really beating anything (which does mean i lose some value by not shoving the turn if i do indeed check behind here or if he folds to my shove when i bet).

So it seems that reason 3 wont come up very often (1 time in 11 when he has AK), and AK is probably only 20-30% of his hand range.

Reason 1/Reason 2 are related. If the river is any non club he will go all in. Thus, i COULD be losing value 1 in 5 times. This is sort of an issue, but remember that im also saving money 1 in 4.5 tries when the board pairs (and im only folding the best hand maybe 1 in 40).

as for results:

Daut44: raises $2501 to $4051 and is all-in
casinocasino: calls $2501
*** RIVER *** [3h Kc Ac 2s]
*** SHOW DOWN ***

Seat 8: arulx (button) folded on the Flop
Seat 9: hotmark777 (small blind) folded on the Flop


I got pretty lucky there considering the shortstack had a higher flush draw =).

I think this is really really close, but it seems like calling is actually a better play. I'd like to hear the input of others on this. Maybe I'll post it on liquidpoker and 2p2 and ask opinions of friends.

hope you guys enjoyed a poker post for once, next time more randomness!

Cause for Valentine's day, she would get the royal treatment......


Check this out:

http://www.whitecastle.com/valentinesday/



That's right. You can bring your lady to an amazing dinner at White Castle for Valentine's day. Cheap, romantic, what could be better? I mean they even have hostess seating and candles at your table. Make sure you make reservations soon though cause im sure they will fill up fast.




Nothing is more disturbing than mid meal your girlfriend getting the runs. At least you get to share the whole place with Harold and Kumar, and if youre lucky, NPH might show up.


Poker is going great lately. So far this year, I'm up 118k at the 25/50nl game on stars, and up another 36k in plo. Things are going insanely well. Maybe next time I will have a treat for you and do a street by street analysis of a hand. That's only if youre lucky though.

Poll: So which one is it?
(Vote): "Damn JonnyCosMo you are a superstar poker player!"
(Vote): "OMG You run better than Ryan Daut x10000!"
(Vote): "Wow you need serious mental help. You're totally brain damaged"

Read the thread first... Because I just had a +8 buyin day (after starting the day down 4 buy-ins so I swung up 12 buy-ins by the end of the day) at NL100 trying the following thing:

If I am in a raised pot and it's heads-up, I'm just not folding the flop. Like no matter what. I either am raising, or flat calling and taking the hand to the turn. The exception here is obv I'm not calling someone's all-in with absolute crap. The thread chronicles the mixed results I got today. Please take a look then take a vote.

THANKS

PS: Obv this isn't how I normally play day in and day out, so dont be paying me off with absolute crap and be surprised when I have a hand like everytime caz I'm really a super uber duper alpha chicken nut peddler ok?

So a bunch of my idiot frat brothers wanted to get a weekly game going, and knowing how stupid and horrible at poker they are (mind you I only play 10NL and in comparison to even me theyre HORRIBLE) I gladly accepted.

I get there and ask what the stakes are and they say .25/.50. Naturally I pull out $50 to buy in and they are like "Whoa whoa $50 ? What?"

They go on to tell me that the "max buy-in" is $20 to "even the playing field" I calmly explain that 40BB is not a sufficient stack to be playing serious poker etc etc. They were all like "let it go" "drop it" blah blah, so I just left.

Correct me if I'm wrong but playing with a table full of shortstack idiot monkeys doesnt sound like good/fun poker.

Added some super awesome fishies to the tank, I only put a few in so if there's something seriously wrong with the water and they die horrible deaths it won't cost me too much.
I'm going to add the fish slowly because that's the kind of guy I am, Rock Steady

It should be noted that my fish tank is far more awesome than kantoiki's

This is what it looks like, bought some plants too with make it looks super k00l and the light helps too


Angelfishes looking sweet despite the possible semen dirt marks on the tank:


I got 10 small ones which are feeder fish that you're supposed to feed to bigger fish. Bought them cos they're cheap and even though they were brutally eating a black fishes (like this)eyeballs
off when I saw them at the shop I'm confident they'll get on just fine :


I also bought 3 of these ones which are crazy and one is deformed, yay
The deformed one gets raped by the other two constantly and so I will call him Baal:


This is what the non retarded ones look like:


Baal getting owned, only a tiny sample:

So yeah that's basically it for now, I'll add some more tomorrow or Saturday

So i lost a HUGE HUGE pot today, i made a mistake of betting the turn soft, somehow i tought this guy had a random King, his "won at showdown %" was 25" (wtf?), for anyone who uses PT should realize i were quite happy with my hand here.

Turn was the BEST card possible, even better than an Ace KQ got owned and 88 is extremely unlikely, so start betting, i never tought about a backdoor flush draw obv and BAM bitch, pwned.

I still ended up 1300 up for the session, but damn i would be like 2400 up if it were other river.

WTF is wrong with me when i play lower stakes NL. It's basically a combination of me going crazy in certain spots where I want to fight for every pot and running bad. Whatever. Die msnl. I think im just not going to play it anymore because I have PLO as a backup when the 25/50 NL tables are somewhat dead. Still, it saddens me to have all those red spots in my PT. oh well, i guess they are there to stay.


I've been pretty lazy in terms of paint, but I got a good one from my buddy brian, hes a math phd student up at UM.

So there is this site, www.3xterrorists.com. Check it out. Basically, 3 former terrorists go around campaigning for freedom. Well anyway, last week these 3 guys were giving a talk up at brian's school. he decided to draw a little picture of what went on during the talk.



As you can see these guys are not to be trusted. If they are coming to your school run for your lives.


So I'm totally addicted to the wire. Have watched the first 2 seasons in a week, am going to buy the 3rd season tomorrow. The best part about the show is that every recurring character is awesome, and they are all so well developed.

OH SHIT. LOST comes back tomorrow. totally forgot about that. oh baby im pretty pumped. shit was going down last episode, hopefully it doesnt end in a lame retard way, especially after a 16 week break.


ok, enough rambling for now. i promise more artwork next time.
