It's the week for the HOME-GAME Grin

IMO pretty bad that you didn't get anything settled with Alstarrt - would have been awesome IMO. Hope to be available next time Smile

Just been "working" in the forrest all weekend. It's super cool and fun but damn hard for the body. So absolut no time/energy for poker.

@Boomer

That 6Spade4Spade River is super sexy but could you have bet/3bet - whith the utg calling BB's raise doesn't seem he believe the btn. Poke Tongue

@ALL

For the home game - I think we agreed to try to reach Aldine first and see if he would participate, but I haven't been able to yet - just sent him another pm and asked BBB if he would hint him if he sees him online.

Anyway what's you deadline Aumorgan. We play on Thursday at 3.00PM EST, right time- right ? Poke Tongue


Also where do we play, we did agree on PS right ? What about the limit - we need real money because of the HH's?


@ BG

Super congratz on this. I'm making my way up to 1/2 atm my self, not much difference in games I think. I've been at 1/2 myself a couple of times - but cashing out+running bad+not as skilled as now is'nt great combinations. Anyway it looks better now and I hope I'll be able to go beyond this time Smile

But then I would have lost the "Wind Pygmy Up" EV and lost my DC cred!!!

Plus this guy won't raise that. It was blatanly obvious from his play so far he had top pair and 0.5/1 nittags don't raise TP3K from a donk into 2 players. Plus UTG was a donkey passive station Smile.

Then again I've played bad this weekend so you may be correct but I don't think he ever raises the river with Top Pair there.

I'd say we have to have the 6 ready for tomorrow at 5pm EST. But if aumorgan needs to know sooner than that let us know.

Ya PS. I think for this little excersie either 0.1/0.2 or 0.25/0.5. Everyone involved has got to feel comfortable with the limits since it's more than likely bets are gonna fly at some point and +40-50BB swings could easily occur so we don't want incorrect decisions being made becasue "Wow this is getting big now".

One more question. Who is recording? I'm happy to do it from my side if people want but if Jess is going to do it that's great too and would probably make more sense.

Nah surely no raise with TP-not Top Kicker but def. a value-bet. Bad luck for him, he played it perfectly Poke Tongue

Yeah I need to buyin for some 100-150BB I guess... Anyway, def. not higher than .25/.50 depends on how much everyone gots on PS. Maybe I should get that free $5 to grow, if it's ever possible :S

Not a chance in hell we are playing .25/.50, FYI

I will record so if I lose I can blame it on being distracted by Camtasia duties

wat, is this standard? or just special occassions?

PS Tanenbaum book is gooooot

Pretty standard for me, 20-30BB swong in an hour is pretty easy even in LP games and I've got the feeling this isn't gonna be an LP game Smile

40-50 is probably a little extreme but certainly not outside the realm of possibility in an aggressive game, it's why we've got to get the level right.

Ok so just confirming everything we have so far:

Game: 0.1/0.2SHFL
Site: Pokerstars

Time: 15:00 EST on 02/04/2009 (That's 20:00UK time and 21:00 CET)

Lineup: Boomer, Isac, Spiers, Rootbeer2k, Adri, Aldine/aumorgan (Decided by 6pm EST tonight)

Running Time: 60 minutes good?

Everyone fine with that?

No such thing as .01/.02 is there? I'm fine with anything up to .05/.10

60 mins might be too long with analysis and everything... we'll have to ask Michael about that

Time sounds good

Yeah I think it's gonna be around 40-45 mins, but gotta find out.

If we play up to .05/.10 then I think I even got enough to buy in for 45BB's on PS Poke Tongue

Time's fine - I even converted right I guess Grin

About the swongs, I got a standard deviation per 100 hand on 18.5BB/100 and that's the pretty looose games. And loosing/winning 20-30 BB's happens very often wihtin 1 session like, btw thats one of the strongest reasons IMO to add more tables.

Haven't heard from Aldine yet, so we gonna find out.

Yeah guys, something like 40-45 minutes would be best. It'll still take WAY over an hour for me to get through that much (see: tomorrow's vid or Chris and Rob in the last Home Game), but I want to make sure you all get a decent amount of playing time too.

I would strongly suggest you make a group Skype chat once you're getting all set to go, and if I'm online please include me in it.

We'll make a skype chat before playing for sure...

Also that random number generator you used in the last homegame do you have a link to that or is it just like this http://www.random.org/ we need this for the fairness of who I'm sitting to the right off... or is it the left Wink

Yes, that is what I used. I also used it for the HULA draft, but I've been accused of rigging that.
