Register early everybody, we are too old to be stressing before playing poker.

use your fold equity guys, dont let your chip stack get down to 3-4 blinds unless your take a bad beat for stacks

eddycash · 12-02-20, 11:18 PM

If you have to tell people this, I don't know how they are even top 12. When it gets to 4 handed as it starts, almost any A is good. I made a few folds because it's early and I have more long term equity playing a worse opponent then basically flipping an A4 vs KT etc. If some guy aren't good at heads up check out the nash equilibrium push/fold charts, not optimal but non exploitable play.

Nice Job JJONNNYY..

And as I'm typing this...

AAAARRRRRRUUUUUNNNNNNNNN!!

Way to go guys.

In your honor

Don't call it a comeback
I've been here for years
I'm rocking my peers
Puttin' suckers in fear
Makin' the tears rain down like a monsoon
Listen to the bass go boom
Explosions, overpowerin'
Over the competition I'm towerin'
Wrecking shop when I write these lyrics
That'll make you call the cops
Don't you dare stare, you better move
Don't ever compare
Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced
Competition's payin' the price

johnny liu · 12-02-20, 11:59 PM

Thank you Chaoz! Go get them tomorrow! Good day guys!

eddycash · 12-03-20, 12:00 AM

Any A isnt good 4 handed. its based on how many blinds you have. if you have room to maneuver, you can fold AJ or even AQ to a 3 or 4 bet preflop depending on your opponent.

franklee168 · 12-03-20, 12:00 AM

Great job guys. Thank you. I'm hoping to get into the scoring column tomorrow.

ArunSh · 12-03-20, 12:07 AM

Thanks a lot guys! Appreciated the shout outs after the match, good to have the team supporting you

- nice finish to the day for us for sure!

Ran quite well today even though I lost both big coin flips which were allin pre - really glad I still managed to win despite that, nice to get on the board!

We're in quite a dog fight overall, anything still possible from first to last. Just keeping it giving your best and hopefully the cards fall our way the last two days!

I'm assuming people know that. Obv talking late game situations where either you're calling a medium all in (may not be worth it if you can run them over, completely dependent on odds, Stack Pot ratio, dynamics, blind levels, players left).

Hence my comment about if it's early, I folded to a massive re raise from trivs or whatever with A3o on the button. I had plenty of time and had just taken a big hit from donkozoid craig.

If you're folding AJ or AQ 4 handed to these donks in the WC 4 handed, I'd highly suggest finding another hobby.

Unless it's literally Mr. KLC or another massive knit, I can't fathom not snapping that.

Now once you're in A9 ish and below territory, and it's early, and you have a nice stack. Sure. Obviously if it's a 4 bet from a great player it could be considered, but overall those hands are too huge to fold. People are jamming so much lighter (situation dependent).

Chipup · 12-03-20, 12:22 AM

Arunsh, We all knew you were going to win Pal your just that good.

. Secondly this our MO Boys, we have a shaky day one then we take it to them hard. It's like Thechaoz said, these guys on the other teams are out performing themselves and it's going to correct itself back to the norm. The illusion is fading and reality is setting in, their crashing and they they know it.

Let's get them tomorrow boys and put up such a lead that they know they have to compete for 2nd if they get lucky.

Haha, thanks chipup, wish I shared your confidence (both in myself and for our team overall!). But we can definitely do this, just gotta play well and have a bit of luck! Bring it everyone tomorrow!

JAKEPEAVY21 · 12-03-20, 12:40 AM

No idea but I hope the moderators tally them up correctly.

JAKEPEAVY21 · 12-03-20, 08:51 AM

Hey guys last minute here but something came up this morning, can anyone swap with me today? Any other time slot will suffice.

funnyb25 · 12-03-20, 09:00 AM

Jake, hopefully someone else can step in first. If it is getting close and no one else can, I will do it, but prefer not to play 3 days during work hours. LoL

JAKEPEAVY21 · 12-03-20, 09:02 AM

No worries funny, I'm sure someone will be able to.
