I demand a poker tourney!

[Relahni]

You have to be prepared to lose alot

it's not a game for bad losers

I'll remind you of that when I beat you in the tournament.

if you do it'll be down to bad luck on my part

mark my words!

thing is, on the occasion I was talking about, Q8 off suit.....

I would have lost with AK AJ A10 JJ 1010 or any other lower pair.

Will have a look at the site when I get home.

10 2 would have had the same equity against your hand as q8.

In fact, doyle brunson won the first two WSOP with that exact hand!

also a fact

he's very embarrased by the fact a 10,2 is named after him

it is after all a shit hand

edit:
and it was HIS first 2 wins not THE first 2 WSOP

Q8 off? or 10 2?

Fraction Man, cheers for posting that link.

I had some good all in calls yesterday with that thing. Got in the money again, but bowed out on an all in on JJ.

The way I played it, well, I just got beaten by a chip leader who played an AA perfectly.

He flat raised, I called.

The flop came - something like 2 -5 - 9 different suits.

I lumped all in (short stacked) - he made the easiest call - exit relahni.

I could have checked on the flop, but hey ho. I was happy with what I won, I was looking at the final table or out.

No problem, glad it helped

I figured that a blind stealer has pretty much nothing. A quick check on the link and if the odds are in favour 55%+ then what the heck.

All in (if it's heads up v blind stealer).

Then if they want to call, fine - they think it's a coin flip, I have a good idea it's a coin flip slightly in my favour. If they don't call, I take their bet and defend my blind. If they do call, then I'm pretty sure that I have the odds.

Btw there's no way I'd do this with a tight-agressive player or someone who blatantly has a good hand.

It worked a couple of times anyway.

Cheers again.

You did the right thing by the sounds of it, it just didn't work out that time. wp.

I just tried to bluff a guy off quad kings. Poker when pissed off/frustrated is not a good idea lol.

Hm. I recently joined the Nottingham Casino under the Corner House so I could buy more beer after 4am, but they closed. Not too impressed with the whole organised gambling lark, think I'll stick to the odd poker night at home....
