2. Other Random Suggestions or Questions: Feel like I've got pretty sound foundations of poker theory & knowledge, just need to work on applying it at all times rather than slipping in & out of the grove.

discussing your issues with other members always seems to help ...listen to the suggestions from your fellow I Stacks More's i think I might have had similar problems and still am working out some final kinks

2. Other Random Suggestions or Questions:
Although i have been playing for the past 3 Months and have been watching videos / reading forums i would say im still a very beginner at the game and still make some basic mistakes. I kinda feel im probably a bit to low lever for the rest of you so am unsure if i should be applying when i might not be able to help others and discuss on the same level as the rest of you. So Feel free to get me to go work on my game for another couple of months or so
Oh yeah, i also live in europe so my times may vary from the rest of you wihhc might make it difficult to have evening sessions

How would you play the hand on the river when the 2 different river cards hit?

I'm always betting the turn, check/calling is VERY weak!

With the 7d on the river, I'm blocker betting/folding, we have no pot control if we check/call, we may be forced to fold to a big bet, but we can always fold to a raise. We also might be missing value form AJ - AK from a tighter passive player if we dont bet.

With the 9c, I'm check/folding. Villan is NEVER valuebetting a worse hand, and without a read, we can't putt him on a bluff. Basically (Without history) if he's got the flush, he's betting, if he hasn't, he's checking.

the only thing i see with this is that he's only calling with hands that he might value bet himself. we dont give him a chance to bluff especially since he seems like a more aggro player

I would like to join in Sundays at noon

Anyways, I'm looking forward to exploring the psyche's and tendancies of other micro regulars. I've played 60k hands of 10nl 6max since buying PT3 and am beating it for 5.53 bb/100 on Cereus. 12k hands at 25nl and have broken even *though running far below ALL IN Exp.* Help me crush 25nl!!

I need help guys i just won a satellite into the ftp 250k guaranteed, but I have work.... Anyone good with mtt? Possibly take my spot, and split whatever is gained?

first is 26k something, if you place in the top 900 you get 68, so 13k something for first, 32 and some change if you place. Havent decided on whether or not ill be calling into work.... I am doing well with mtt right now.

So I haven't been around lately since I have been working 12-14 hr shifts at work and haven't had time for anything else but here's the deal the weekend schedule meetings as per my first post have come to an end last week and I have nothing planned for this weekend so there won't be any official meetings this weekend...unofficially I and others will still be around to do sweats etc. Not to worry I do have future plans for this group.
