****July Poker Chat Thread****

sigh, effectively threw a ton of money away today by checking in super obvious bet/fold spots. At least two regs cheered me up, by standing up, rejoining waiting list and moving to across the table from me when i joined a table to their left. Makes me feel special

Also why can't i find the 'fold cb to a raise %' in hem reports?

I feel like crying -would have been in top 4 after this hand. And of course it was right before the bubble:

i think the closest thing to that in the reports is "Flop vs. Raise Fold %". doesn't specifically take c-bets into account, but close enough to the same thing

my pop up has fold cbet to raise % though, so i was either able to add it to the pop up or it was a default. i dunno if you are now or not but i really think if youre not taking advantage of your pop-up stats on regs, you should be. it's not too hard to get used to mousing over and knowing where the stuff you're looking for is

Do you actively track wins/losses during your sessions FP?

Not precisely, but I tend to notice when I win or lose an all-in. Had I been actively tracking it, I'd have played for another 400 hands.

Teeny tiny little brag here - at the beginning of July, PTR showed me as -$1.1K at small stakes - this was over my lifetime since Sept last year, I was just screwing around. I started playing primarily at 100NL starting on July 9.

Nothing to write home about, but I'm delighted that the overall number is > 0 now. When I get this number up to $1K, I'll be very happy.

man backgammon is hard. i'm trying to learn to play good but according to GNU backgammon software i still suck. anybody else here play it??

Tis something I wanna get good at.
It can wait its turn behind MTTs Chess and HU Poker.

Anyone want a game of chess?

 

[Tammy]

I hear you can play backgammon for money. I want to see Blanco playing HU4ROLLZ backgammon style. That might be one game where I could take you...

I haven't been playing a lot of poker lately. I think I'll play a few micro stake multi-table SNGs today and see if I can build from my tiny bankroll.

ye i have it on my hud pop up aswell, its default when i hover over cbet%, thats why i was annoyed i couldn't find it anywhere in reports

Like chess cheating is rife.
Unlike poker chess and backgammon have been conquered by machines.

Hopefully No limit holdem has some life in it yet.

Spam reporting wars!

As I raised the river holding second set, villain types:

xxxx said, "why this hand against a nit"
xxxx said, "so sick"

Made me laugh.

Oddly, I only had 13 hands on the player, I was impressed that he had me labeled so quickly... unless he's data mining...

 

[vanquish]

sigh obviously i fold every single hand once i get ITM of this $109 MTT and eventually push 10 BBs with AK and 43 people left and SB wakes up with AA

gg

Ouch! I just went out of the 80k after winning only 1 small pot in over 1.5 hours. I had one hand the entire tournament - just not my day.

 

[vanquish]

life is tough for those who play MTTs (cept for those who win)
