Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

I am $2800 below EV in the past two weeks. I wish I could get LHE action - NL is so damn tilting.

Oh, and new career worst day today. Running $1100 below AI-EV doesn't help. YEAH SEPTEMBER!

I almost checked this river, but decided to try and go for some of this value everyone is talking about...

Welcome to the world of thin value. If you don't valuetown yourself sometimes, you aren't doing it right. That bet is probably a little too thin though.

Omg mike, you did it.. You created the thin value thread.

the gauntlet has been set!

Welcome to the world of thin value. If you don't valuetown yourself sometimes, you aren't doing it right. That bet is probably a little too thin though.

I agree this was really thin, but villain in this hand could literally have any two. Also, I think subconsciously I wanted to be able to have a hand for this thread.

Anyone interested 6-tabling stars HU limit SNGs? Interested in playing anyone 20s-100s.

No thanks Hood - I don't want my brain to explode.

It's not about who's brain explodes it's who's brain explosion splatters further.

all my attempts at bets for thin value this evening have been called by better hands

instant meta-game payback
