whaaat? Pamoldar changed his username? I didn't know you could do that here. Question: can we still call you Pamoldar? D:

And is there anyone who are into FJM? Make sure you make your picks.
Done  Cool

Mousset - Aubameyang - Richarlison - Abraham - R.Jimenez - Mané - Callum Wilson.


About the pool, i'm expecting a close game between Sheffield vs West Ham so, a draw.


O McBurnie - Aubameyang - D Lewin - Abraham - R.Jimenez - Mané - C Wilson

My picks for FJM7 Just two different from you so we both can go for five Wink

Good picks.  And you already got one right..  I'd pick Salah over Mane tho.  There was a small window when he wasn't getting the goals in but he's back imo.

Edit:  Two down.

IF Bruno Fernandes is going to United I can see Pogba already sold.
They play in the same position and Bruno costs a lot of money.

I don't think they can bench him when Pogba will be back.

Where do you thnk Pogba is going?  Real?  I can't see him going to Juve tbqh...  Not for big money that United will be demanding for him.

Finally it's here.  I've been curious what Dan Hardy's breakdown would be, esp. for McGregor.  I haven't watched it yet, I posted it as soon as I saw it...  Let's watch it together!  Grin

Hero has 30ish BB in CO, Villain has 14ish BB in HJ, SB is short-stacked and BB is chip lead
Villain min raises pre
Hero CO with Ac 7c , calls
BTN folds - Small stack as well
SB folds
BB calls

Flop - 4 2 7 rainbow, 1 club
Checks to villain, they bet 1/4 pot about 1/4 of their stack.
Hero Jams all-in.
BB folds

I jam to put them in and isolate. My thought process here is that BB does have me covered but they floated in with odds and I am more than 60% of their stack, not a great point in the game to push it. With them not flexing with a donk lead I figured they were scared to lose chips to early position players with stronger ranges, even if they connected with this board. I have shown a wide range so it's hard to put me on or off anything. Villain isn't repping any strength with the min bet in and small C-bet compared to their stack size. I have fairly good pot odds especially given I have a back door flush draw and top pair top kicker based on the board. Villains stack is about 50% of mine and would put me in a strong position for the remainder of the tourney.

Let me know what you think happened in this spot, what you might have done differently. I will try and work on actually pulling hands in a forum format in the future or maybe even posting hands in a locked thread for ease of viewing. Open to suggestions.

Without any solid reads and I assume the antes hasn't kicked in yet..?  I'd jam or fold pf but leaning towards a fold if there are no antes and if villain is on the tight side.  Lean towards jamming with antes.

As played, iffy spot.  He'd be playing perfectly vs you if you jam (folding worse, calling better).

^  I guess you're a United fan sporting a Lampard avatar and having a screen name called Eden Hazard?  Cheesy

Anyway LFC has been unstoppable this season.  They will own United at home in a couple of weeks.

And yup...  The thread should be exclusive only for players.  Keeps the quality up.

Blocknet...  Now that's a name I haven't heard in a looong time.  Kinda brings me back to the 2013 - 2014 era when everybody was starry eyed and optimistic about crypto.

^  Maybe...  We'll see.  The thing is Bittorrent already has millions of users worldwide.  It's just a matter of convincing them to join in with the BTT and the DLive agenda.

Anybody serious about the game should learn NLHE Short Deck.  IMHO.
never played, why do you say? i'm skimming the rules and hand rankings.....seems like a really high variance game, yeah? harder to wrap my head around the probabilities from street to street. perhaps a bit like omaha in that way.
Super high variance...  More so than PLO but I'm playing it at nano stakes for fun so I wouldn't know how people play it with money that would actually matter to them.  But from what I've seen, lots of limping pf which makes it the correct play due to the structure:  Everybody antes a small blind, with the button posting a bb.

not the type of game i would ever play for nosebleed stakes but micro stakes sounds fun. too bad they don't have it on ACR, otherwise i'd give it a whirl. ACR only just managed to add fast-fold NLHE last year (which full tilt poker had in 2010-11). they are behind the times to say the least. Smiley

Yup, it's fun.  Smiley  Go try it at Pokerstars.  And use Neteller.  You can make a deposit over there via BTC then to Stars.

Withdrawals back to BTC is gonna be a problem tho.  But in my case I'm the fish now...  I donate to the poker economy.  Lmao.

Here's a tape of Cerrone showing what he can do with that right leg.  Very dangerous once McGregor starts gassing out...

Edit:  It was really a left switch kick (but Cerrone's right leg is lethal too).

What do you guys think?



It's all starting to get interesting again tbh (at least for me).  I also tend to come in a tad later than everybody else (esp. after having almost two years of winning nothing.  Lmao) so we'll see...

^  Still too close tho.  And remember how convincing Diaz's win was in their first bout.  I hope McGregor doesn't win exactly like how he won in his second fight vs Diaz.  That would suck for him imo.
6015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: January 07, 2020, 11:52:58 AM
Here's another tape of McGregor.  Watching it again, I think an argument could be made that Diaz won?  I mean it can go both ways...  If McGregor won, you can argue Diaz won and if it was Diaz, you can argue for McGregor.

I fear for him vs Cerrone.

^  As Mou would say:  'They wanted beef but they got fish.'.

He'll give Klopp something the LFC manager wouldn't want and go for the draw.  A boring match parking the bus (and counter attack given the opportunity).

Edit:  Then again, Klopp could be expecting it...

DLive is migrating over to Bittorrent after a partnership with Sun's team was settled (but rumors have it that Sun acquired DLive.  Lol).  Another rumor going around that Sun' team's next acquisition is Steemit... 

Looks like somebody is buying his way to dominance (I think flippening Ethereum is the target).  Let's see if he can pull it off...
6019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread (EPL) on: January 06, 2020, 03:11:40 PM

History says that liverpool always struggle at the away games to Tottenham, several times get draw and only managed to win 1x in the last 4 years visit to Tottenham.
Don't know much about history, long or short but Tottenham are bookies favorite. What I mean by that is, they always mess up with the punters. If you pick them in any of your parley or even in a single bet then you will find them losing and you are losing your money. Good luck with picking Tottenham to win or even Tottenham to win or draw LOL

By the way, in recent times the only team that gives hard time to Liverpool is Napoli in my opinion. For example the two matches against Napoli in CL in the recent time. One was draw and in another one Liverpool lost if I am not wrong of course.

 
I'll stick to chasing liverpool to lost no matter what Grin , this good odds on Tottenham are too good to be missed.


From a mathematical perspective is a good point to chase the lost of Liverpool on the league.
It is a value bet for sure especially when playing with Historical teams and against Mourinho who is going to try his best to beat them and prove that he is the special one.
Correct.

I can expect for Tottenham odds to win against liverpool this weekend to increased as the recent game of Tottenham was terrible draw against Middlesbrough while liverpool reserve team beat everton full team.

I will insist doing this although harry kane out due injury or whatever, I'll just glad to see liverpool opponents have bigger and bigger odds to bet Grin .
Mourinho going to start the psywar Grin I'm sure
 Will he gives klopp some surprises? I hope so!

^  I don't think so.  I think Mou is gonna go back to his old pragmatic self and go for a draw.  Park the bus yo.  Grin

Really...  Klopp with that LFC squad (which he helped build) is unbeatable.

Edit:  And what happened to Sessengon?  Seems like the kind of player City could acquire and develop under Pep.

up against nitty players, it's tough not to get a bit loose-aggressive. on the button or in the cutoff position against weak nits, i'll raise any two cards. every once in a while, they catch a hand---that's the game.
You sound like you know what you're talking about.  Were you one of the guys who joined the wave from gaming to online poker to crypto..?  Wink

Just wondering...  And if yes, I wonder what you think what the 'next big thing' is after crypto.  Grin

yep, online poker was my gateway to crypto. i was in college during the mid-2000s poker boom---i miss those days. so many fish everywhere! after i graduated i played semi-pro for a while, getting staked, until black friday hit. that fucked up everything. the smaller networks still serving USA players didn't have enough player liquidity and they had all sorts of banking problems paying people out---bounced checks, delayed wires, etc. so i went out and got a real job.

but i still played casually on the smaller networks, and eventually in late 2012 i stumbled onto this thread on the 2+2 poker forum about a bitcoin-based poker client called "seals with clubs"---no banks, no slow-paying, no bounced checks. sounded great! so i bought some bitcoins and hit the tables. not nearly enough players, lost interest......but then in early 2013 the BTC price started bubbling. and then i became fascinated by it. all the things i loved about poker---the psychology, the numbers---it all applied to markets too. so my love for poker became a love for trading (and also a love for this new technology that cut banks and governments out of the equation!)

as for the "next big thing".....too early to say. i think we still have another major wave of cryptocurrency adoption ahead. after that, where do i want to invest my money? the legal cannabis and especially the hemp/CBD markets probably. the CBD market is going to be bigger than anyone can imagine right now.

Hah...  CBD won't be as much fun as the sickos here in crypto tho.  Lol.  But yeah...  Same story here but my introduction to BTC was thru none other than genjix, who used to play poker small stakes back in the day.

Anyway poker...  Anybody serious about the game should learn NLHE Short Deck.  IMHO.
