Just $20, nothing major, but not bad for a night's work.

Played in a live tourney today. Once I got to heads up, I played better than I've ever played before, but a combo of playing a great opponent and getting sucked out on a couple times made me get second anyway...oh well. I still feel good about how I played.

Quoting myself here...I was just laughing so hard after this hand.

Villain had Qh 8h

(yes..he checkraises that river AND called a shove with QUEEN HIGH in a nearly 400 bb pot)

wow. I was hoping for 72os

Why didn't anybody tell me tomorrow is NOT February?! 2.5k hands today to make Silver

oh and just out of curiosity...cause i'm probably the wrong person to figure this out... (stupidly obvious to me but then I spent 4 years studying this stuff)

does the user title I picked make sense to anyone or am I going over people's heads with that? honestly curious.

I'd probably understand if I knew what E represents.

But don't count on it I'm sure Zach knows, it's probably in the mcdonalds manual for ways to improve flippin' burgers.

pretty obvious, imo. But of course i'm an engineer, so maybe someone else should answer this...

E stands for expectation.

Hint: it's a female underwear brand here in France.

LOL... ok that I didn't know.

That makes things even better

female underwear confuzzles me time and time again..

The last 2 days now I've woken up with a really really bad headache. That may not seem odd but I basically never get headaches and this morning's was accompanied by pain in my stomach as well, I just felt like shit and laying in bed forever but everytime I closed my eyes my head hurt even more. Both times eventually I fell asleep and felt perfectly fine 3 hours later when I woke up, and I was fine both times before I went to sleep. I don't know what the hell is going on with me. It's like some sick evil twisted person is flipping a switch when I go to sleep.

i think it's fine if he thinks you're really floaty. he checks to get the obligatory float-bluff and then has to shove since you're not going to bluff the remaining $90 into $200something on the river, so he'd just be giving you a freeroll to hit if he called. this is probably the best way to play the hand vs. certain players

Anyone else worried about Vanquish a little? His last posts were kinda spooky and poof he was gone.
