No Game tonight, only 2 at start time.. Will have to figure out what we do for next week. May try fusion and showtime in place of the Monday and Wednesday PLO games.

Big overhaul going on. Thanks comp

compuease

lol, you see that huh..? Ok everyone, I have dropped the PLO on Mondays and Wednesdays, moved the 5 card Omaha from Tuesday as the 2nd game to the only game on Mondays at 7:30 and added in Showtime holdem in Wednesday, regular blinds and no rebuys until we see if we like it. I have also made the Thursday NL game a rebuy since that seems the most popular.
Showtime Hold-em
What makes Showtime Hold’em different, is that every card folded by any player remains face-up and visible for the rest of the hand. This includes all cards folded pre- and post-flop.

Perhaps in the future we would like to try 6 card Omaha to really freak everyone out or perhaps Fusion, see below.
Fusion PL Omaha
At the start of each hand, players are dealt two hole cards, and before the flop the game plays like Texas Hold’em. Additionally, five community (or ‘board’) cards will be dealt: three on the flop, one on the turn and another on the river, with betting rounds after each is dealt.
When the flop is dealt, players still in the hand receive a third hole card. Remaining players on the turn then receive a fourth and final hole card. Players do not receive another hole card when the river is dealt.

Showtime looks like fun. Hopefully we get some players with the great summer starting. The real question is if tonight’s game is going to run.

I got distracted by a pizza delivery. Somehow villain got the same pocket pair twice in a row.

Wrong screenshot. Told you to take the chop.

edited out the wrong screenskot, DJ retracted his offer once the stacks were even. Also, blocked chat because I didn't feel like being nagged by virtual rail rats. Having to answer the door for pizza delivery kinda distracted me.

MrCaspan

rail rats... LOL

Is poker etiquette online the same as offline?

congrats to comp on another win...

compuease

Sorry about this but I don't know if I will be able to be back in time to play tonight. Can someone who is playing please keep track of rebuys for me? Gogie, niks, etc?

Gogie

I'll probably be playing so I will if I do play.

@compuease game was just for fun tonight - not enough players at start

I placed third and there was a chop between waltz & ItsAMe

Is this a "bad beat"?

Also, COFFINs variance is unbelievable. Here are his last shown hands; JJ, 7Aoff, 9Joff made Q high straight, JAsuited beat counterfeited small pocket pair with Ace high, AT off which beat KJ suited, not to mention the ones won uncontested.

Variance in favor of certain players is luck?

MrCaspan

What were his positions at the time, what was the pre flop action, post flop action? You know range changes based on your position number of players, number of BB left, player to your left. Also just FYI should not scrutinize or question others players publicly it's just poker respect. If you learn something about a player keep it to yourself and exploit it...

And no this is not a bad beat just shitty luck to be honest.. now if A hit on the flop then turn river gave someone else a Full House or flush or straight then that's a bad beat as you had the nuts then it was taken form you!

compuease

Also Henry, have a look at the tracking spreadsheet, you will see how it evens out. It's not as if Coffin is making a fortune you know.. He has had a couple of good runs but so have others... Not me of course, i have to rely on skill.. :)

compuease

Everyone please have a look at the schedule for next week. I have added Short deck holdem and Fusion. Also note that I don't have a choice for Superstack (20K) anymore so Tuesdays, which used to be a Superstack turbo, now is a Doublestack 10 min blinds.
Check out short deck (6+ HE) and Fusion on stars and give them a try ahead of time if you like.

MrCaspan

@thisORthat just a cool statistic of AA, AKs, AKo for me over 72K cash hands, the column in red is my win percentage at showdown

compuease

Sorry guys I won't be playing tonight as I am going to a grandsons baseball... Woopee, hopefully all goes well..
Assuming you get enough players can a couple of you keep track of any rebuys and let me know? I can get the rest of the results when I get home..
