  • re: skill game!! / also tonight's results

    Yes skill(s) is part of the game but so is attempting to undermind your opponents confidence.
    And tricks like continually heedlessly tanking to test your opponents patience...


    In my limtied gameplay with jamie4780 HU it seems like he raises to 2.3bb preflop
    with any two cards. Then gets fancy premium hands. He got AK twice within the ~ 60hand HU session.

    The first one I got lucky. Second one held...

    Everyone can play the game they care to play. I know myself I've annoyed people with how long I take to make decisions in live poker after I've had more rum than is necessary. When I've been made aware of this I've tried to correct it because it's not life changing money and it's usually games among friends.

    As for these online games, if someone is trying to fine-tune a strategy around what is essentially non-cardplay aspects (table patter, tilt induction, etc,) its as good a place to workshop it as any. It might upset some players though.

    Best way to knock someone off their game is to get it in bad and suck out on them. Works out everytime..

    I see Tuesday night's games have been discontinued. No problem but I was wondering
    if it was unpopular because of PLO or just not workable for other players schedules?

    We just haven't been getting more than a couple of people. Would more people play if I made it the same as Friday's NL rebuy?

  • I don't play Tuesday because we basically go to bed too early during the week.

    I wouldn't hate some plo on Fridays now and then

  • I say #JokerStars are a joke but find it quite queer loosing over 80% of 'flips' where I'm 90% favourite.
    Perhaps my maths are off? Folks on /r/Poker say; "well, 90% isn't 100%". Righto buckerino but something seems awry?

  • Anyone want any of their balance on Stars? I have too much on there from so many funding their home game account.
  • are home games on here still running?
  • occasionally on Friday evenings..
  • If anyone is interested on here, my friends have a WhatsApp group chat for Pstars home game that has 5 or 6 guys constantly (18 in the group) and could use a couple extra to get a full table. We normally do $100 sit and go style. Let me know if you're interested (normally starts between 9-9:30) and if there are other nights you guys play and I would join
  • We have played 264 games since Covid started but interest has waned along with Covid it seems. There may be a couple of guys who would be interested in an online $100. game but I would think not many.
  • no worries, keep me posted and I can send home game details out
  • Feel free to create a new thread if you like.
