"The Pen:" Live NLHE Chat Thread

semi serious answer….I’ve found the Vegas strip/hotels not an easy place to meet women. I haven’t tried but I’m not a club guy and with the exception of O Shea’s there don’t seem to be many of the type of fun bars that I find conducive

Also…I’ve done some ho-ing over the past few weeks in the glorious town of Sydney

I am boycotting Vegas until your triumphant return.

Feelie’s got someone to root (for)?

Vegas in December. I’d love to buy Uncle Feelie a drink. I believe I owe a few of you a beverage of choice.

The next Situation is clearly funding a vegas trip for Feelie. Who wants to start the GoFundMe?

I actually have airline points and some good resort offers. so it would only be the 7-10k I'd drop on MTTs that I'd need to find!

Another genius donked into me 3 times. Well played.

$5/5. UTG straddles $10.

Hero raises $35 otb with 5♠3♠. UTG calls.

Flop 8♣5♥3♣ (pot $80)

UTG bets $35. Hero raises to $105. UTG calls.

Turn 3♦ (pot $290)

UTG bets $65. Hero raises to $165. UTG calls.

River 4♣ (pot $620)

UTG is all-in for $450. We snap-call obv.

87o no good.

Sabr - why not post this stuff in the strat forum - or start a PBG thread. I realize this chat thread is nominally in that forum but in reality no one here cares.

I'm not looking to discuss strat.

It's low content stuff.

Talk about a perfect storm of suckiness.

There's a forum associated with chat thread?

Anyway you don't speak for everyone here. I like the boring_ass_hand_histories when they tell a story. I agree that chat thread is not where to debate how to play JJ.

Fold JJ pre

i am negative 150 BBs per session for the last sessions :/

highlights: straddle UTG, i got KK, some calls of the straddle I raise big, straddle calls. Of note: Straddle was wearing sunglasses at a low stakes game so you know they're bad, passive, etc etc. I forget but I had just under 300 BBs roughly, straddle had me covered. Board: K KdJc8c - i lead 75% pot cuz its 3 way and this board sucks and i'll get called by a buncha crap. Straddle calls, turn 5 spade, I pot turn. We were deep I forget exactly how much. River T club **** me. I bet, straddle raises 300 on top I make a hero fold which i hate doing but dudes wearing sunglasses who tank for every decision for 2 minutes dont have the guts to bluff. also opponent was very passive (hardly raising, calling raises and cold calling 3bets - matter of time before they go broke or get better).

4 handed, as soon as me and villain sat 4 people were picking up. 60-75BBs effective J8hh on the BU i make it 12, vilain in SB calls, BB folds. Flop JJ6dd - v ch i 75% calls, turn 8x v checks I shove, v tank calls river brick i show my hand quickly V tanks and turns over KJ :/

I have 55 on CO - 2 limps, HJ raises to 15 i make it 50, BU is a poker dealer so you know this'll be good ****. ~75BB effective roughly. HU to flop
($135ish) 5s6d9d
i check, villain leads 35, i check raise to 135 (I thought i was putting them all in but they had liek another 25 on top or something ) villain tanks then shoves for some small amount more i insta call. turn diamond of something river brick Villain flips 58dd for the "straight flush draw"

The cold calling of 3bets with these ranges has me all twisted up. Also nobody 4bets at 1/3 so if anybody has posts about genpop 4bet ranges its KK+/AK I have to assume.

The only way to play it. Can we get this guy a coach under title and color please?

No but I’d contribute to a Go****Me

No sir, open to 15x so they all fold and then say “I hate jacks” as you drag in 3bb.

I for one enjoy HH discussion in the chat thread

HH has to have a comedic element (SABR's last one qualifies, imo), or GTFO. imo.

GcluelessHHcomedynoobG

I don’t mind HHs as long as they are either

1. Super interesting and thought provoking
2. Low content for the lulz
3. Quick brag

Do not enjoy HHs asking for serious feedback when the hands are straight forward - we’ve had a few posters in the past who used to spam these and thankfully that stopped years ago

This is my take as well

Last day on the hill. We still have an absolute shitload of snow in fact even our east facing exposures have no bare spots. Sadly did not throw a 540 this year. Tossed a bunch o 3's, 1's and switch 1's. Went old skewl today and showed the youngins some stuff. Not limited to spreads, splaffys, backscratchers, peacock's etc. Even wore a helmet.

Need that yellow wax for warm weather. Otherwise, you'll be thrown forward every time you get going with any speed.

Work sucks today, I should have gone skiing instead.

I'm sure they'd stay open longer if they could, but it's always funny when there is a boatload of snow, but the mountain closes anyways.

Last year at Wolf Creek, it dumped over 13" while we were there, but were closing 5 days after we left.

I'd take a slice just for the LOLs... the HHs would be GRADE EH!

Stop me if so, but have you considered winning?

ahhh its too late for me to edit my HH to add more comedy but if you play that theme song from that brittish comedy show uhhh... benny hill, it lines up perfectly with the average readers pace and the rhtyhmic structure i write in. its hillarious
