Yeah, Party used to do that all the time. That was the best. I miss Party.

4/28/2008 3:12:08 PM

Anyone using the new PT3 beta? I like it considerably more than the previous version.

http://www.pokertracker.com/products/PT3/

4/28/2008 3:31:42 PM

I like it but I've slowly transitioned to just omaha lately. So i need to get the omaha tracker.

4/28/2008 3:37:10 PM

Can it do tournaments?

4/28/2008 3:38:59 PM

I believe it can. I haven't messed with it for tournies but it has a tab

4/28/2008 3:42:39 PM

Is the upgrade free?

4/28/2008 3:48:37 PM

I think right now its in a beta and its free, but eventually will become $$.

4/28/2008 4:08:49 PM

The whole beta version is free, and yes it does tournaments. It's pretty kick ass, a lot more features.

4/28/2008 6:16:17 PM

yeah, i dunno what i was thinking earlier..probably feeling insulted that he checked the flop to trap me (which may have been the right play for him i dunno). it was an incorrect call that I got lucky with, but it's not like I have these crazy delusions of grandeur or anything. I know I'm not that great, but fwiw I did place third after that and have had consistent finishes in most of the sng's i've been playing lately.

I guess I just need to work on presenting hands without looking like a douchebag idiot.

4/28/2008 8:43:30 PM

Race vs the clock to $1k update:

well, I started the day at $64.90 after running incredibly well in sng's over the weekend after starting with the $1 in the aforementioned bet. Today I had signed up for a $1 tournament and totally forgot about it and didnt start playing until after the first break, nedless to say i bubbled that and came in third in a $2.25 6 handed sng. so for the day im down $3.25 and at $61.65 with 5 months and 24 days to go

4/28/2008 10:22:26 PM

Race vs the clock to $1k update:

well, I started the day at $61.65 and played a little .05/.10 nlhe buying in for 7.50. i caught a few hands and with the donkfest that level is, i ran it up to 24.95 before leaving for work. Tonight I played in a sng for 2.25 and placed first for 7.80. I won a 2.25 heads up omaha hi/lo netting me $1.75. I also played lineoleum24 in 3 heads up matches a 5.50 a piece and went 2-1, netting me 3.50. In trying to set up the match with lineoleum24, i accidentally ended up playing some other guy at 5 nlhe heads up and won that for a net win of 4.50.

So as of right now, i am at 94.40 with 5 months and 23 days to go. I am realizing how lucky i got with the big win with my first $1. i should coast from here

4/29/2008 10:35:11 PM

Yeah, the initial big win was very lucky since otherwise you'd be playing super micro stuff and it would probably take you about 2 weeks to get to the point you're at now.

4/29/2008 10:51:23 PM

yea id be super fucked playing freerolls with like 2500 people. thats why the starting with $1 was key in the bet

4/30/2008 12:33:54 AM

ahahaha, yeah, inspired by this I'm trying to see what I can do with the $.65 I have in my PS account. Unfortunately you have to have at least $1 to sit at a ring game. So I tried one of those freeroll satellites and was out in 3100 something place. I'm going to give a $.10 tourney tonight a try.

4/30/2008 12:41:24 AM

I did this with 0.85 in a matter of 3 months of playing only $5 sit-n-gos. It is very possible.

4/30/2008 1:02:49 AM

14 minutes into the tourney and already 400 people are gone. Only 1200 more to the money! I forgot how utterly donktastic online tourneys are.

4/30/2008 4:13:33 AM

Keep track of your time Karim. I want to see your hourly rate.

4/30/2008 9:45:48 AM

I will. i forgot to mention the other stipulation in the bet. im only allowed to play 10hrs a week from monday-sunday. I also have to submit all hand histories and they(the people that are betting against me) have access to my acct. I'm at 3.5 hrs so far this week and have made 29.50.

im at a staggering $8.43 per hour so far.

then again taking in account of my bankroll that i started with i guess that's ok

4/30/2008 9:53:24 AM

Race vs the clock to $1k update:

Well I started the day with 94.90 and played 2 6handed $2.25 sng's. one that i placed 1st (making 7.80-2.25) in and another that i placed second(4.20-2.25). I also played in 3 heads up matches for 2.25 where i went 2-1, making 1.50. I spent 1 hour playing today.

So as of right now, I am at 103.40 with 5.5 hours left to play this week.

5/1/2008 12:30:06 AM

are you doing this on stars?

Just did one. Came in like 4000 something for some idiot calling big bets preflop with a Q6 with my AJ on the big blind. The flop was A6...something

motherfuck.

5/1/2008 9:13:15 PM

In a $2 sat to the Sunday Hundred Grand($11) on Stars. Been playing these a lot lately for profit only. Just fucking sick. I don't see how this guy insta calls me on the flop with an under pair.. I win this, and I am near CL and coast into the final table with the top 6 out of 36 getting $11. I made the right play I think, I just can not fathom how he called. I did OPR the guy and he is 0/43 in MTTs, so I guess that has a lot to showing how much of a donk he is.

because your bet looks like a bluff someone would make if they had a draw. Who knows...he may have thought his 8's were gold. If it makes you feel any better, I wouldn't have called.

5/2/2008 9:58:05 PM

Where are the poker games tonight? I's having one tomorrow, but I am very itching to play real poker tonight.

I hate online

5/3/2008 2:22:25 PM

Finally started looking at some of the stats from Pokertracker 3 beta.

Just out of curiosity if anyone has a large MTT database, what is your preflop 3 bet %?

I'm at 6.35% of ~4k hands of tourney play, and thinking a might be a bit to tight w/ my 3 bets against aggro villains...

5/3/2008 10:44:21 PM

Just got done playing 6k hands today. Personal record for one day.

5/3/2008 11:21:58 PM

Nice...

What limit? How many tables at once?

5/3/2008 11:56:47 PM

some 50nl and some 25nl w/8 tables

5/4/2008 12:04:50 AM

god fucking damnit.

how many fucking times am i gonna get sucked out on in 2 weeks????

finished 484 in one of those freerolls on some BULLSHIT.

5/4/2008 12:19:21 AM

Twice tonight, decently into the money and get dicked by button play when i'm in the BB. Quiting for the night...baghyuglufrilsahuighuighguiah

5/4/2008 9:28:02 AM

It's a pretty small sample size but from the looks of things you should ditch the heads up tournaments and maybe even the mtts depending on how many times you rebuy. You are pretty much doubling your money on avg for every $10 sng so I'd stick with them.

5/4/2008 1:08:28 PM

make that another suck out. trip 7s on the river to fuck up my straight with somebodys pocket pair

so fucking lame.

5/4/2008 1:58:57 PM

trips beats a straight?

and ^^^ sounds like you suck heads up.. lots of 2nds and not doing well in HU tourny's.. JK.. prolly better than me.

5/4/2008 2:17:22 PM

he had a pocket pair to the boards trips = full house. i'm no good at explaining i guess...

anyway, in this wsop freeroll thing i just had pockets Ks PUSHING a guy with pocket Ks and both of us lost to a straight. i was all in on that shit, but fortunately i was covering both and i've now climbed back in it, so we'll see what happens...

5/4/2008 2:20:41 PM

I wish I could copy/paste UB chat. Some guy is begging for money and everyone is giving him shit.

5/4/2008 5:46:33 PM

middle of a 100k guaranteed tournament.

You are in the bb and pick up Ah Td

player in early position minimum raises the blinds to 160, button calls, you call.

Flop comes Ts 8d 7s

You bet 350, early position folds, button calls

turn is Kd

The button has you covered. What is your next move?
Check
Bet half the pot size
Pet the pot
push in

Button seems to be an aggressive player, but hasn't been at the table but for a few hands.

"Pet the pot "

i personally would PET the pot, but what the hell do i know.

5/4/2008 6:00:20 PM

I personally would go back in time and kick myself for calling preflop.

5/4/2008 6:09:07 PM

he prolly had a spade draw or J,10

what was the verdict?

5/4/2008 6:13:38 PM

Or maybe a straight draw plus a piece of the flop.

5/4/2008 6:16:37 PM

which would be J, 10 i suppose.

[Edited on May 4, 2008 at 6:19 PM. Reason : and a few others i see]

5/4/2008 6:18:46 PM

or 910 or 89 or even worse, 78

5/4/2008 6:20:52 PM

or walking you with a top pocket pair!!

5/4/2008 6:21:36 PM

I just got walked with an overpair
