When i joined this site, like everyone else i wanted to learn more and play better poker.
Since joining this site in may i've made made about $50 bucks...
Since i started playing online in january until may i was up $180
All i've done since may is read read read ya'lls posts and such to see how i can improve my game. I do what you guys say others should do in similair situations and i just lose more money b/c your like "blah blah blah be aggressive, ship ship ship." One hand i had AK. There was a flush and str8 out and i kept calling down b/c he was really loose. the riv was a K and i won a nice pot w/ pair of kings and ya'll bashed me for not shoving. wtf it's just a pair, i knew what i was doing, call down b/c he's loose and theres so much that beats me. based on my read calling was +ev.
Today i was told i played this wrong...

Let me explaine what i did and why...
First off, we're heads up. Heads up, big hands are not going to happen nearly as often as they do full ring, 6 max obv. He has been very aggressive with 4 players, heads up he was very very tight, but i've seen him reraise allin 3-4 times prior to this hand
I call the blind, he reraise 3x. I call again. Flop comes out, i have a pair. He bets out 1/3 pot and i have a pair. Obv call hu. River comes and it gives me two pair. At this point, since this guy is low on chips and i am obv ahead, i'm taking him to value town. I wanted to get his chip stack down to where #1 he puts in a good amount now #2 he has to shove on riv. River comes and he caught runner runner flush. BFD, there is nothing i can do about that. I wouldn't play this hand any differently 100% of the time. He played like shit and got lucky. Thats life. I don't know how you can say i played it wrong.
ANNNNYWAY, done ranting and raving. I had a good day in poker... online, i got 2nd in that tournament which paid a nice $48, and IRL, i played cash game 50nl, bought in with 20 and walked out with 69...
Total profit = 114 bucks.
Money in teh banks.
In life news, i played golf friday with the head coach of #18 in the nation in highschool football Euless Trinity...

scary shit.
Anyway, josh hamilton is a fucking bad ass. He had 98 RBI's at the half way point of the season. Since everyone here is European and don't know anything about baseball, but know a lot about soccer, let me put it in terms you'll understand
98 RBI's by the allstar break is like a goalie kicking 1,000,000 goals in 2 games.
BAD ASS.
