I would, only they sound a lot like they have some horrible phlegm stuck in their throats.

You know, a Belgian friend of mine went for a six months erasmus stay in Norway and he learned the language right away. He said it was just essentially the same as Dutch anyway. Then he emigrated to Sweden a few years later and he said it was like the exact same language too. True story.

So as far as i'm concerned, Sweeds speak Dutch.

 

[F Paulsson]

In writing, we're really, really close. I think I could understand probably 50% of most "common" Dutch writing, like a newspaper.

... but the phlegm-thing...

I dislike both the flop 3bet and the river raise, flatting the raise on flop and river bet are both better imo

idk I think in retrospect I agree about the flop, but as played, I like my raising the river. Fish show up with all kinds of pocket pairs and tens in this spot. Plus you won't see a lot of donking trips in hugely multiway pots at FR honestly.

Donks imo usually rep draws or pairs, but usually not the obvious top hand on the board, especiallly 5 handed.

The reason I don't like my raise on the flop I guess is that I'm shutting out the other players when there are no draws available and two pair does nobody any good. So, bad raise there for sure. But the river I think there is more than thin value in raising. There are a lot of hands that pay me off and very few that beat me at this point.

 

[switch0723]

meh, it just makes no sense for villains to bet/call worse there after c/c turn. I dunno maybe im a nit, but that line is usually bluff or nuts, of which raising only gets action from 1 of those. but clearly not, silly limit hold thems

lol, take a guess at what he had, too

hint: he was 84/0/2 over 200 hands

an 84/0/2 makes me want to raise the river less

That aggro level doesn't make you want to raise all the small pairs and stuff for value? He's capable of betting very light. I know aggro level isn't necessarily relevant, but he did donk like 35%

 

[switch0723]

but the hands a guy like that c/c turn and bet/calls river with are so slim that you beat. I don't know much about limit, but i just feel flatting is far superior

You leave me speechless.

 

[cAPSLOCK]

Extend both hands, palms down fingers extended.
Lay your right hand on top of your left at a 90 degree angle.
Draw your right hand back and off your left thus emphasizing the cris cross pattern of your fingers.

Now turn your left hand palm up and place your right hand palm down over it.
Flip your right hand over to rest the back of it in your left palm.
This motion looks like you are flipping a pancake.

By doing these two compound motions (the criscross finger drag, and the pancake flip) you have make the American Sign Language word for...

WAFFLE!

I was a ASL interpreter in a former life. I wanted to make a video of this, but time dictated I try to describe it instead.

You may be right. At the time I really felt it would be weak though. Idk just a game dynamic I guess. What you think FP?

 

[eNTy]

You leave me speechless.

was that last line understandable ?
i am under the impression that is some kind of dialect

a swedish friend of mine taught me all kind of dirty lines a long time ago

 

[F Paulsson]

Well, "buxxor" is actually spelled "byxor" but other than that, it's perfectly fine Swedish, grammatically and spelling-wise.

why do you even have the need for a word like "byxor" in swedish? Whenever i went there we spent more time naked than anything else.

If we don't have a word for it, how can we tell our guests what to take off?

you already have a word for that: "allt"
