Yeah, lots of hands have you beat here - will people bluff a missed fd like this, I'm thinking that'd be unusual for small buyin events, even in a rebuy?

If it's KQ, though, it's got to be KhQh to call the flop and turn, and I dunno how Q8 gets to the river - JT, J9, and 78 all look more likely to me. Regardless, it's definitely a fold as played.

please agree with me that he had it, he took way longer to bet on the river, it's either KQ/Q8 or busted flush, right?

yeah rebuy period was over it was middle-to-late stages, I guess he had something, can't believe he'd bluff a bluffer!


This was nice, as this guy kept hitting rivers against me and had built his stack from $1 SS, so was nice to wipe him out, and him to slowplay those aces preflop to let me catch up on the flop!:

what sort of buy ins u playing these days ?

 

[tenbob]

Seriously though, just give me a break. Not much spew at all here either, well apart from one QQ hand today, and a little tilt after that...... Just cooler after cooler, running KK into AA 5 or 6 times dosnt help matters either.

I have AK vs the biggest fish playing on stars, we get in on a nice little AK2 flop and he has 22. Thats my life on the tables this month.

Really nice post in "FTP answers" thread at 2+2: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showpost.php?p=16193798&postcount=884

Also, it's coming!!! http://twitter.com/FTPDoug

 

[eNTy]

i like his ss bash, very true and very well worded imo.

it could always be worse TB. low point was -$1350 and for a while $700 under ev (now only $500 ship).

all 50nl hu.

 

[KingCurtis]

small stakes still

I always thought about what would happen if I never cashed out anything and just tried to become a bigger mtt stakes player, like if iwould have kept the 13k on and just played like 50$+ mtts, would have beencool if I was singl and had no other obligations....maybe one day if i can keep a bankroll with out cashing it out. Plus I'm on stakes the limit is up to the staker.

probably what happens to any mtt grinder, lose a lot slowly for weeks/months then have a (big) spike when u get lucky again

Guys, I suck at poker now after selling off half my roll

 

[LuckyChippy]

Lol at the new FT advert. CF had 66 and explains that after an early position raise you should only play strong hands. He then throws some chips at the camera saying sometimes you have to go with your gut lmao.

 

[blankoblanco]

yeah, that ad is pretty cringe-worthy. i dont think its new though? i've seen it a while ago. definitely FTPs worst commercial, absolutely stupid on so many levels

Does this make any sense?

I'm in a $5 single table S n G and just watching the table (been card dead) and I see this guy raise 2 1/2 bb off the gun, a guy that is short stacked in MP pushes all in for a total of 8 bb, everyone folds around to the gun and he ends up folding. He had about 15 - 16 bb left....does that make any sense whatsoever? Why raise off the gun, then fold when you already have 2 1/2 bb in a 11 1/2 bb pot when it's only costing you 5 1/2 more bb, and possibly eliminating a player???

Excuse me, "under the gun" first to act after the bb.
