Spewed a bit tonight in bad all-ins yet came out slightly up. This was my biggest spew that was not an all-in.

Planned to play poker earlier this afternoon but fell asleep after eating a huge late lunch and watching an episode of heroes. Sat into a horrible session where I managed to dump 2 buyins really quick, so I got off and watched JohnnyCosmo's video from the DonkTest site. Was actually pretty good and when I got back on I played overall well, but got it in stupid a bit which caused me to not get it in later when my gut said push but my balls said fold.

Oh well, that's poker, right?

If you call turn you have to call river.

I have always wanted to quote myself. - Me

Aside from just being manly for the hell of it, why do we want to stack off with AKs unimproved against an unknown who just cold called a 3bet?

Yeah what midian said. If you check turn that basically means you give up...so your call is like "huh?"???? :D

yeah, his super small bet on the turn I thought maybe I had 2 OC + a GS and could call on odds.

Jamie, is this actually a good spot to do it though, or is it just how manly men do things?

I got manly @ NL200 tonight after stealing this guys blinds a bunch as he was pretty tight, like 14/11:

While I am all for being manly stacking off with AK here for no reason vs an unknown is pretty spewy.

EDIT: Woops this was meant for the post below....

Nitting it up since 2006
