OK I apologize for sounding like a dick. I guess in nicer terms I don't know how good or bad you are at poker, but I am not at all impressed at the hands you posted. I should definitely be more constructive and less destructive, that is true. I hope you can accept my apology.

Dude, I dont care one way or the other. Play me heads up anytime.

So, I decided to play a little 6 handed 1-2 nl today after seeing all the hands posted last week. This was my first time playing 6 handed and all I can say is god damn that was some fun shit.

11/12/2006 7:36:07 PM

Is that good or bad?

11/12/2006 7:51:16 PM

It was good. Although that is mostly because I hit a lot of big hands, no awesome plays, except for one flush draw I played nicely to get paid off by two pair.

11/12/2006 8:19:15 PM

What site?

11/12/2006 8:33:26 PM

ub

11/12/2006 8:51:38 PM

I always enjoy 6-handed when I feel like playing a few more hands. People seem to be way more aggressive on those tables.

11/13/2006 12:49:29 AM

Has anyone else noticed the new game selection on stars? 5 card draw and 2-7 triple draw. I'm having a blast.

11/13/2006 1:11:23 AM

i was on pokerroom for awhile until all the US players got kicked off so I decided to buy-in at pokerstars
i started with a $30 and now i am at $300 in a few days
partial thanks to this idiot...

I figured the guy wouldn't bet $24 with a QQ, KK, or AA
i knew he was full of shit after he went in on the flop

11/13/2006 11:27:34 AM

Not sure I like that play.

Did you put him on a lower pocket pair, AK, AQ, AJ?
He made a bet almost 30% of his stack, so why not just push him all in preflop?
Were you worried about one of the 5 people behind you to act?
If so, what happens if one if the 5 people behind you reraises?
What happens if there is A, K, or Q on the flop? Do you just let it go?

[Edited on November 13, 2006 at 11:43 AM. Reason : personally, I probably would have just folded preflop]

11/13/2006 11:43:08 AM

^I put him on either a lower pocket pair or two over cards at best
this guy was a complete douchebag and had been throwing his money around

i wanted to see the flop because of the fear of the overpair and didn't want to risk my entire stack
if an A or K came out, I would have probably folded an all in

if the people behind me would have reraised me then I probably would have folded
cuz that would take some balls to reraised a $24 bet with less than spetacular cards

11/13/2006 2:21:06 PM

11/13/2006 2:27:31 PM

^^I like this play vs a total maniac. Pushing with 5 people behind you is risky with JJ, and if it does get back to him he's just going it's just a coinflip . If you can manage to flop an overpair like this you're going to stack him, it's worth $24 for that oppurtunity.

If a K or Q flops, things get a bit dicey but you can still take your chances against his range. If two overs flop, then oh well you just wasted $24.

So basically, I don't mind just seeing a flop with JJ here to see if you still have the advantage vs a maniac's range. And also because this way you don't stick your neck out too far if a player behind you has a higher pair. If your hand goes to shit, at least you only lost $24 instead of $85. If it is a favorable flop and this guy is a true maniac, you stack him with ease.

I assume you meant fear of him hitting an overpair?

11/13/2006 2:56:21 PM

^yeah..haha..i meant to say a pair of overcards

11/13/2006 3:04:23 PM

11/13/2006 3:43:35 PM

Ah ok, was chatting with him yesterday when I lost a 300+ pot to KJ vs my overpair, after he went all in he hit two pair on the turn
