So I played in the NL5k game tonight (aka GBP 1/3) at the Vic in London. It was interesting; it's clearly still a soft game, but it was different from live games in the US. Maybe it was just variance, but it seemed fish here understood preflop raise-sizing, and the concept of taking the initiative. I saw fish iso-raising other fish light, nit-regs squeezing light, etc. It seems preflop is much more solved among the live crowd here than in the states. That said, people still played super-face-up post flop and spewed horribly with TPNK and the like. As an aside, playing poker not in your home currency means it feels like play-money and you don't care about winning or losing.
Hands of note:
-I iso a fish with J5cc (Jackson Five, wut wut), get min3bet from an okay-ish player in the sb, fish folds, I call (?) 130bbs deep. Fold to a 2/3 pot cbet on QJxc (?). Still not sure about this one.
-I cold 4bet a fish 95bb bb deep with KK, shove 50bb into like a 60bb pot on the flop and he folds.
-I open 98dd in MP, get calls out of the blinds. I cbet 2/3 on J64ss, get one call. I check back an 8h turn. River is the 8c, fishy player leads 1/2 pot. He has less than a PSR behind so I tank/shove, he calls with 75dd. I'm pretty sure he's bet/reluctantly-sighing-calling JTo on the river so I like my play.
-I iso with A4hh, get a cold caller (fish) and the original fish. 653ss flop, I lead 2/3, I get a call and a minshove. I call, other fish calls. 7s turn, fish 1 checks, I bet 1/3 pot. He calls. River Kd, he checks, I bet 1/2 pot, he calls. I win vs 73cc (sidepot fish) and 65o (guy who shoved).
-I win a lot of pots by iso-ing and c-betting.
Results:
+135 GBP from poker
-75 GBP from getting massaged most of the time I was there (such a sick service that I would pay for in just about any setting)
Unfortunately did not get to catch F4Zi, ah well.

Agreed with this Sicks Macks, they somewhat have an idea of what their doing, but their still bad and easily exploited.
I play 1/3 in The Empire Casino at Picadilly Circus. |

it's pretty difficult to read this without eye rolling after every other sentence, you really sound like a dickhead categorizing every single player at the table, other than yourself, as a fish - except the nit regs, who apparently squeeze light despite being nits - with no other info provided. |

But its live poker, its really easy to have a table with only terrible players |

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |
