Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

Don't bet the river, your playing the board.

Good call.

Fair warning since I know we may or may not have some LHE guys/coaches here in AZ.

Just finished doing a ride-along for a DUI task force as part of my internship. Please don't do something stupid. I'll feel slightly bad about prosecuting you and sending you to tent city . Fair warning.

A lesson on how to win the least...

openfold the flop

Swing and a miss on that turn Check raise. Do you raise that flip on his cbet? I think i lose a bunch of bets here lol I probably wouldn't bet that turn either though.

I've already seen this player call down with Ahigh and K2 high (which was on a four straight paired board 46547). So how thinly do you bet this villain from now on?

I hope you friended this guy

he was gonna get there on 6th imo

I'm back. It's been way too long and I only recognize BBB. Hope y'all are crushing!

sup mikefut

how's life?

Oh, I can't complain. I've been way too busy with work, but it's great to see DC is alive and kicking. Time to dust off the cobwebs and play a few hands if I can ever figure out how to deposit onto Merge...

What did I miss?

various shenanigans and tom-foolery, imo. nothing out of the ordinary. possibly we will get our full tilt money back. deathdonkey had a kid. well i guess technically his wife did. but he was involved.

i did a rake comparison and analysis (merge, revolution, stars) if anyone is interested
