Hey guys, been here for about 36 hours so far.

Last night I made my way over to the venetian, seems like the best 1/2 in town.

early on we had a nicedouble up, then get stacked on a J66ss 3d(2flush turn) Qx river he bombs...
he bets every hand.... i have to call turn n river.. 46o. ++ BI for 150, peak 325,finish 86. fml.

day 2,feeling way better today things lookin good, get the thevenetianaround 11am.

grind it out,150 to about 250,then this handhappens.

seat 2 is playing about 35/30 3-4 AF but does check marginalspots to showdown (JJ on Q4567 3way)

I open KK UTG+1,station fish calls (hes in 400 so far) - sb has 400 hes a laggy reg. (for 1/2)

945ccx

36 in pot i bet 27, station fish (-400 player) flats - sb tank jams. i had roughly 60bb behind,hes beenlag as hell...betting 60with overs n shit multiway...

i think a few seconds, jam.

he has 555. other player tp+fd.

miss king.

-150 today.
-75 yesterday.
taxi fees $60

fml.
lol

online poker!!

lol gotta hold those, what u guys think about the KK 3 way (player A wasa fishplayer Bseemed solid reg, he wasby far the most aggro at the table,me being #2 or #3 aggro on the table.

just bet fold? i had 150or so i think start of hand - otb had 100, he had 400, so that changes his allin a lot since its vs 75bb and a 50bb station, but that stations range was really wide.

you fold or call?

Thanks,
Ryan Neilly

If i have 50% to win a game at sc2, and Baal also has 50% to win a game at sc2. If we both play a game, the odds at least one of us wins is 75%. Everyone should agree with this.


Now lets say we both study for a true/false exam, and we're both expected to be right on 75% of the answers. Assuming all questions are equally difficult, what is the odds we are right on a question where we agree on the answer? Is it still 75%? or is it more? Can it be 93.75%?

Now here is the whole point of this.

Let's say i'm a winning sport better, and on close fights of -105/-105 odds, i am right about 75% of the time.
Baal is also a winning sport better, who's right 75% of the time.
If we both agree on a bet, does it mean we're going to be right over 75% of the time?

Then, let's say there is 10 winning sport bettors like us. If all other 9 winning sport betters agree on something, can it make sense to go against them if i disagree with them, or should i just avoid betting that fight?

um hi lp.

i used to post autistic shit here and i was really bad at poker.

so like ~2yrs ago i made the decision to go to korea to play dota, and i came out a loser time and time again.

i lost like every tourney i played in, got 0-7'd in some philippine lan, it was rough shit.


but today, after all the failures and shit, i made a small progress.

i'm going to TI5.

i lurk still, and i like it here because i can relate to you guys more. There's a lot of insights that seem to pop here and there amongst the first gen and second gen gamers that are maturing and moving on with life. Never change LP.

anyway, thanks guys.

Here are my May stats. It was really frustrating overall I was doing okay and on pace for ~190 hours at 2/5 but an incident where I broke my glasses made me uncomfortable playing long without good vision. I realized that 200 hours probably is unsustainable long term for me and I decided with the world series generating traffic it would be a good time to try to make 5/10 my main game long-term. I think the world-series has definitely given me some drive to take shots overall. Seeing huge games of all different types run has alot of allure. I have a feeling that the sky is the limit and I feel that there is a certain level of glamor associated playing the bigger games around in Vegas (although different people might have different opinions about this). My plan was to take a few days to ease into it by playing short sessions but unfortunately today's session did not go well at all. No idea if I am ever going to get out of low-stakes and build a decent net-worth.

UTG woman opens to 3x to 30. UTG+1 Calls. Hero 3-bet small from MP with KK to 100. CO cold calls, folds to BB who 4 bets to ~750 with 80 or so behind. Hero all-in, CO Folds. Axxxx lose to AK.

Hero ~1350, Villains both cover
UTG+1 opens 4x to 40, MP Calls, Hero SB with AcAs 3-bets to 140, Call-Call. Flop 9s7c3s Check-Check-Check. Turn 2c Check-UTG Bets 260, Folds, Hero raises to 520, Calls. Hero announces all-in (blind) with ~1500 in pot and ~700 behind, river comes Club and villain takes it down with Kc9c

Anyway I'm not entire sure what my play is at this point. Around 45k at this point.

Just trying to warn my fellow human beings, don't give yourself unnecessary body aches/pains like me .

I've been building up lower back inflammation to the point where it's uncomfortable for me now to lean forward for an extended period of time while taking a shit, and now I've just strained my groin pretty bad by just transitioning between hip flexor stretches.

I've been doing doing 5x5/3x5 stronglifts for a while (used to do bro-splits) and I'd usually do a lower body workouts with squats + deadlifts, an upper body workout with bench press + Overhead presses, and another upper body workout with pullups/chin-ups + rows each about 2x per week. I would do the first set of three workouts three days in a row at about 90% ish of my PR's, and then the second set of three workouts at about 60-70% of PR's and just keep alternating with about a rest day or two between each 3 days. I also would add accessory lifts such as curls, lateral raises for shoulders, etc. for aesthetic reasons.

I'd say my strength and muscle mass have progressed pretty well but now REGRET NOT DOING any consistent stretching regimen post workout, any mid-section strengthening exercises (planks, leg raises, etc.), and any consistent cardio post workout or in between lifting sessions. Now my lower back has gotten excessively tight, and I've lost some mobility.

Point is,
don't skip them stretches, do light cardio in between sessions, take your de-loads seriously (back-off workouts), and btw don't down to much for long periods of time like I consistently do : ( .

Live well my fellow LPers

For those of you into Dota 2, liquidpoker member Sunbhie will be participating over the next couple days for a spot at The International 5. His team, MVP Hot 6ix, has a decent chance at walking away with a spot in the tournament, but the competition is tough. If you would like to check it out, his first game is tonight and you can find it on twitch at 10:30PM PST, 1:30AM EST.

How much does it cost to create a site like runitonce? How hard is it to build? I'm trying to gather more information because I want to hire someone to build it and I don't want to get ripped off. Thanks for the help.

Selling a bit of scoop action :

- 50% of SCOOP-16-H: $2,100 PL Omaha [Heads-Up], $200K Gtd, No Late Registration @1:1 markup -I don't expect field to be very soft and I don't think my heads up game is great by any means, but it still should be +EV. SOLD

- 35% of SCOOP-25-H: $2,100 PL Omaha [6-Max, Turbo, Zoom], $400K Gtd @1.1:1 markup, 6max Zoom is my main game but Turbo tournaments are such lotteries I don't think I can justify a bigger markup than 1.1:1. SOLD

Let me know if interested.

Hi guys,

looking to get back into poker, havent played for some years, I'd be happy if I can beat NL50 or NL100 long term. Just asking, are low stakes like NL25 still easy to beat or is the level of play a lot stronger nowadays? Oh I'd play on stars jfyi.

Also, Pokertracker or Holdem Manager? Which one is better atm?

Thanks already
