@IbelWetz … things that can be done to deal with the plethora of arm injuries in pitchers today. I like these changes b/c they are not major overhauls of the game by any means, & in fact are even somewhat of a “throw back” I will elaborate on them each below 1) Lower the mound… 2/

@Choppodong1 @jerram74 I thought you said on turn you slid a big stack of $100 or something. Can’t find it now tho

@MLBHistoryGuy @jerram74 I don’t see $45 being big.

Let’s continue… We elected to raise to $45 over the $15 because this board is wet, dynamic yet vulnerable too. Somewhat surprisingly BOTH PLAYERS call the $45…. ~$175ish Turn Q♠️ and checks to us. Now what?

@Choppodong1 @jerram74 I mean it’s the right move to fold there if you don’t improve right? I guess u said the one guy is a fish. Maybe he only had like a gutter and a backdoor flush. Maybe even just a gutter Maybe like 2 overs (No Q)

@MLBHistoryGuy @jerram74 Sure. But that doesn’t seem to stop many, let alone both. I was a little shocked they both folded.

@Choppodong1 @jerram74 Oh I meant lead as in the donk bet…leading into the preflop raiser, thought they were the same

@MLBHistoryGuy @jerram74 I wish he’d have led into my raise. Lol

@Choppodong1 @jerram74 Not a terrible board for bb to lead either (I wouldn’t multi way of course), but it misses a lot of your raising range Only overpairs are feeling good with that flop AK AQ AJ KQ KJs ATs etc all whiff

@Choppodong1 @jerram74 Maybe hands like gutters w/ backdoor equity that missed turn- like K6s or J9s - ❤️ Even 9To could’ve been a defend multiway in the bb. Great flop to call a raise - but after the turn & you’re aggressive, they’re only now about 16% to complete & if they miss u aren’t folding

@Choppodong1 @jerram74 Prob draws

@jerram74 I’d think. I expected a call when I just slid a stack of red out. They both folded. I was like “wtf called the raise then?”

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker The fact that poker triggers you so badly is really something lol

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker Oh am I? Got it Stay in your make believe world buddy

Look, I don’t want to be that guy, and I really have nothing to gain by posting this, but the amount of deck integrity issues I’ve seen @venetianpoker is getting out of hand. This isn’t about one dealer. Wobbly pitches, rolled decks and lax behavior are becoming commonplace

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker Bro doesn’t see the hypocrisy in talking about how good “investing” is without the entrepreneurship necessary to take on the initial risk This would be akin to backing the good poker players But we’re getting too complex for him. We’ll let live in his little make believe world

@MLBHistoryGuy @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker Perfectly case in point

@MLBHistoryGuy @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker You’re broke, we get it.

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker Oh and surely if there were no entrepreneurs… we would still have investment market ??? We should just tell all of the start ups they’re stupid because most of them will fail

@MLBHistoryGuy @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker I’m talking about investing, not entrepreneurship.

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker If I were a betting man (which I am), I can 100% tell you’d be in the group of terrible players making terrible emotional non-logical decisions, simply from your idiotic responses here. Resorting to insults and cherry picking to try proving your point Well done

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker Who’s gonna tell him

@Caiden_Legit @BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker Sports betting is not even close to poker and the good poker players at high levels are using odds, probabilities, reads, position, and playing “tight,” ie minimizing the amount of “gambling” It’s actually much closer to investing than it is sports gambling But u won’t see that

@BFish804 @brew1993 @VenetianPoker What point are you trying to make? You’re comparing gambling to investing and I just proved to you that 95% of people (who sports bet) never make money while 100% of people who invest in the S&P500 make money if they hold longer than 10 years. Go troll somewhere else, brokie.

@ACpoker0271 @hungryhorsepokr Yes… or you can exploit by folding and saving money. Eg you have JJ and flop comes AQx… and a straightforward player donks a decent sized bet into you Maybe you call one street but I don’t know if it’s worth trying to take this to the river and steal it

@hungryhorsepokr You see more of it at lower stakes , worse players and players like this most of the time don’t have it in them to 3 barrel bluff also imo

every time a player donks into me on the flop i giggle. because in my head i’m thinking, “nice, i get to win this pot!” when players donk in a heads up single raised pot, they tend to have a weak range. so we should start raising right away, right? wrong. when we have a value hand, we generally just want to call. why? because if we raise we fold out the airballs and the weak BS. if we just call, we give our opponent another chance to keep donking on the turn with a range that is mostly full of shit. what about with bluffs, we surely want to raise now if they’re weak, right? wrong again. this is where most players fuck up. if they’re weak, we would LOVE for them to keep bluffing on the turn and even river, and then once they’ve put in the most money possible, THEN we can raise and get them to fold. remember: the best bluff is the one where we get them to fold on the river, not on the flop. to sum it up, when your opponent donks into you as the preflop raiser on the flop: more calling, less raising = more money.

@colbylives @lowstakesdre Yeah tournaments are obviously a bit different- cash game you just get paid for your hand so you simply rebuy or lose the money, chalk it up to a cooler Tournament you gotta just survive

@MLBHistoryGuy @lowstakesdre I never played a ton of cash games. As a tournament guy, this was fun to think about. Because I do think you can get a tight tournament player to fold there if he doesn’t have you pegged as someone who gets out of line.

It’s 2:30am. I’m stuck $800. It’s been a rough night. Bad play. Tilt. I’m starting to battle back. Build my stack to $550 or so. I open red KK to $15. One caller, next player 3 bets to $50. Player who three bet is tight, I decide to just call. Next calls. 3 ways. Pot: $153 Flop: 5 ❤️ 9 ♠️ Q ♠️ I check, next checks, villain bets $75. I call, next folds. Heads up. Pot: $303 Turn: 5 ♠️ I check, he bets $100, I jam for $400. He goes deep into the tank. He starts talking. I realize at this point he has AA. Omg. I’m fucked. When he calls I’ll end the night down $1,000. He said it was the end of the night and he didn’t want to play for stacks. He finally convinced himself I have QQ and he folds A ♦️ A ♠️ face up. Ended the night down $260. I’ll take it. Miracle fold from villain saved me.

@lowstakesdre The spade turn probably helped you get through too

@lowstakesdre Lmao miracle fold is right holy shit Your jam against most players, I like- but some guys just 3-bet with a super tight range With this action you’re crushed. No bluff from him… Best hope is what, AQ?? U can’t fold, but I like just calling down (Obviously your play worked)

@PokerJermz No need for any protection by going huge. No significant draws But totally depends - if player is fishy and calls big bets YES you get value If it’s an average player, or no read on them, I would think enough for them to call with Kx or any backdoor equity Then bigger on turn

You raise AKo on the BTN BB calls Flop A♠ K♦ 8♣ Feels like a small bet… What’s the play?
