Obv Littlefinger is going to help Cercie as he originally promised

LOL.... I'd guess he didn't have them..... But I was playing a tournament at the hard rock in Tulsa years back and everyone was talking about a hand in the cash game in which someone made this insane lay down, can't remember the specifics but it would have been for the bad beat jackpot and like 90k, he showed his hand though after folding.

LOL @ retard in the wife beater

I actually played today. 135 players in a 105.00 buy in. A few interesting hands late..... I have about 30k, blinds are 800-1600 with a 300 ante. I'm on the button and the guy in the big blind had just lost a big hand and only had 1600 left so he was all in in the big blind. I knew someone would raise and try and get that big blind. The guy to my right made it 5k, I look down at A7 off suit and shove all in. I was 90% sure he wouldn't be able to call and was raising light. He folded. So right there I have won 3400 regardless of what happens against the big blind, plus A7 is way ahead of a random hand. I ended up scooping the whole pot. 1600+800(small and big blind) + the 3k in antes + the 5k raise. So 10,500 added to my stack and all I had at risk was 1600(the big blind who was all in). These are the types of situations you can add to your stack without premium hands. I would have shoved almost any two cards there because I'm making 3400 no matter what. If the raiser does call you there is still a chance you can suck out as well. After the blinds went to 1000-2000 I pick up AA, I make it 4500 and get two callers. The flop is K92, two spades. I shove about 38k and the first guy also goes all in. The other guy folds. He rolls over KK and flopped a set. He thought he was trapping me by smooth calling my raise. I was out.

A good strategy against really good players is to move in on them. There is a book called "Kill Phil" that advises recreational players when facing pros to play an all in or fold strategy. The top players real skill is playing after the flop. If you move in on them you take that advantage away from them. They hate being shoved on and do not like to gamble. They want to chip up slowly without risk, out play you. The problem is in the main even the structure is super deep and you really use this strategy. The last few years there is pretty much nothing but world class players at the final table, including a lot of excellent cash game players. You now see a lot of these guys make it to the final table without ever even being all in. It's unlikely you'll see a scrub like Chris Money Maker win it again.

There is massive variance in tournament poker. The path from cashing to getting to the final table is tough. When I first started getting decent I'd cash but never go deep, I thought I got unlucky. The truth is I wasn't winning enough hands without cards. You have to play situations and steal pots. But the deeper you get the bigger the blinds get and anything can happen.

Sweet

Got my dividends in my money market accounts in my taxable and Roth IRAs Dividends up across the board this quarter

As opposed to all these other real scenarios I'm not convinced the knife/battle wasn't fake. They were actually talking about the knife vs bat debate

So, you're in a phone booth and have to fight someone to death, bat or knife? Oh that's right, you're picking bat no matter the scenario

Terrible comparison And remember, the original scenario is an either/or scenario that no one would want any part of. If an intruder comes into my house I'm hoping to have the element of surprise and hit the guy in the head with the bat.

Anyone would use a bat to defend themselves from an intruder

The knife guy didn't even fight, he did shake off some blows though

It's def not Tormund

Looked more like Jon to me

5500 a year if you're younger than 50

Why is he building a big pot and raising the river?

His fold was terrible, he folds getting roughly 10-1 with a full house?

BTW, I bubbled the money in this tournament. 7 paid and with about 15 people left I get em all in with AA against QQ and the guy hits a Q. I still had chips but never could recover. I finished 11th.

damn right, although I actually stayed up pretty damn late watching TV anyway.

I'm in the SMall blind and call a raise, I flop the straight flush, I check and the raiser shoves, he also had KJ for a straight, I turn the royal flush

In a tournament I played today:

Is it a Roth or just a taxable account?

If you dollar cost average, buy low cost broad based index/ETF funds and buy and hold you'll beat market timers over a long period almost 100% of the time

You're def beating Abenjami!
