Didn't see you.

best part was that the very first hand you played at my table, button opened to $7, SB called $7, you squeezed to $30 and they both snap-folded. which reminded me of this exchange in my prop bet thread from last week:

Very few players would sit down at a table and squeeze at the first opportunity w/2 callers

Are you kiding me? I do that all the time... :D

Not trying to be an an azz or anything but I got a question for you guys, no its not a trick question but I'm just wondering is there ever a time to play something other than what you guys call "standard"? is there a such thing as thinking outside the box when you have history with someone and you are like 95% sure the cards the villain is holding but you decide to take a different line because of history? does that ever happen to you guys or is it always playing by the book?

EDIT: I'm just wondering this because of the thread combu posted and he got his ass chewed out for taking a non "standard" line so I'm just curious

I always take the line that plays best against villain's range. Sometimes that includes balancing so each individual hand may not be optimal but the total strategy should be. History changes the ranges, so it may not be what some call standard but it would still be what I think is the best way to play an opponent given both of our ranges.

Got silverstar for the first time ever. How sad is this this brag ? :p

Where is this video you talk of FP ?

And I just had a great session.

Played 9 tables for the first time in a while, 25nl FR, and first time on this laptop too.
I wash honestly proud of how I played. Made some solid laydowns. Recognized spots where I used to call too light, or even preflop where I would just want to see a flop and I didn't do that this time. I very rarely barreled or spewed. I remember one or two spots where I barreled but my read was correct and the were weak or had a draw and folded both times.

It was one quirky session though. For what seems like the first time in a while I experienced what you strange people called flopping sets ? :confused:. I got a flopped set on xJ5 with 55, turned a boat on J turn. Stack and lost to JJ :(.
I did win another pot with a set. And I even sucked out huge lol. Had 77 and put shortstack all in on flop AKT, that was bad imo but anyway, he had flopped broadway with AQ, and I sucked out with 7 turn and river 7 for quads baby.

Managed to stack a fish after he sucked out for a split pot with garbage twice.
Ended up 3 buyins which is confidence boosting as well.

Anyway, I'm happy and gonna post some hands in HA now.

I mean the red pro part is pretty irrelevant since like anyone is getting AK all-in there. Not much skill involved winning KK > AK like that when he's in such a good position to squeeze. Still nice pot though :).

So much as jan sucked - february seems hot.
Won two CC freerolls and got bankrolled on two sites.
For me - reluctant to depositing and an expert freeroll grider an awesome achievement.
My benchmark for depositing is 100$ on any site.:cool:
Sounds weird, I know - but I wanted to learn to beat freerolls before depositing.:confused:
