Yuk. The other day the machine puts a pitcher of a desk on a box with like a bike carrier in it. Then another machine scans the pitcher, u know. And prints the address label. I doan know, I get in trouble if I stop the line.

I mean I'd 3 bet sometimes, but folding is a perfectly fine default IMO, and I'd call very very rarely (unless we had a small blind flat from a bad player or something else specific going on).

His intention certainly wasn't to drive him head first into the boards (his push from behind is only a slight issue). This. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iw1Z0M5j6E on the other hand is the worst type of cheap shot.

It was a pretty dirty play and in situations like that you have to let up, He basically just pushed him from behind directly into the boards where he could have been paralyzed... I thought it was worse than Lapierre's hit on Nicol. Nicol looked like he just lost his footing and wasn't pushed that hard. As for poker content, stay strong man, tomorrow is a fresh start. :) Wed, 17 Mar 2010 03:23:44 +0000 /blogs/amt/15881-New-computers-stupid-hands-and-hard-hits#comment16361 /blogs/amt/15881-New-computers-stupid-hands-and-hard-hits#comment16361 supersplitz Comment on Snow + FTOPS=???? by HotDiggy1121 Shameless brags are inspirational.

Out of interest, apart from MTTs and SNGs, do you play NLHE cash also? Do you occasionally dabble in HORSE? PLO? Badugi? Drunken UNO?

I'm not sure how to interpret this opponents overbet at your stakes, but I suppose it surely looks like a flush hit or he hit a set and the KK's gave him the boat. And at the end of the day it is a marginal situation, so +1 to you!

I'd expect him to fold those on a 2nd barrel in this spot tbh (maybe with some small chance of a semi bluff raise somewhere pre-riv). So, while I think something like the nut flush is possible, because I think most of the XsXs combinations are gone by the time he calls turn it seemed more likely that he had 7s full or possibly peeled one off and turned a boat. I just think it's the only hand he's never folding pre riv and always taking this river line with. So, a couple of flushes seem possible, and I guess AK is also possible, especially if he had the As, but some % of the time I think AK either makes a small river bet, takes longer to shove than he did, or possibly even checks it back. I also didn't include that he took this line with a flopped set earlier where he just called flop checked it back on the turn (meaning he most certainly would've flatted vs raised a turn barrel 100% of the time there had villain bet, as he did in this hand), and bet river when checked to, but it was earlier so PSR's were way different.

Just wondering what the thought process is here?

Though I also think the implementation of the synchronized 5 minute breaks at :55 every hour really helps a ton (at least on stars/FTP), and literally pushes former-6-8 hour sessions into 10-12 hour sessions in itself for me personally. Recently I've been putting in roughly 40 hour weeks. Long weeks are 70-75 hours.

When I need rest from playing 6-max ring game, I just get up and rest. Of course that's different when it's really juicy. How many hours are you working a week?

I'm finding myself becoming 'bored' of the bad beats, the coin flips, the suckouts (when I win or if I lose) and overall robotic nature of 1 table SNG's. So over the past couple of days, after reading your blog and watching the latest vid, I decided to 'mix it up' - playing large field MTT's, 18/27/45 sngs, along with the usual 9/10m SNG's.... and now I feel motivated, eager and refreshed. Whilst results don't always count, I've started to get my confidence back (it helped coming 23rd in a MTT with 2,200 starters), I've started to become more focussed / re-focussed, and I'm actually enjoying /looking foward to grinding SNG's. thanks again, and keep up the blog Fri, 18 Dec 2009 10:44:04 +0000 /blogs/amt/2601-Mixing-SNG-structures#comment3151 /blogs/amt/2601-Mixing-SNG-structures#comment3151 pinotsniffer Comment on Mixing SNG structures by Dzikijohnny I assume the +$ comes from filing in the dead time that it takes to load some of the mtsngs and that the mix that you have would be very fluid. Example if you wanted to play $75 45mtsngs on FTP they load about 5/hr and take two hours to play. So your plan to play a 5 hour stretch would be start up your 45s and 9 mans and as you add to your 45s stop adding to the 9 mans. And so in the middle of the 5 hours you might only be playing 45s. Then as you get to the end and stop adding to the 45s you would start adding to the 9s again. So the goal would be to maximise the hourly average buyins. Right?
