Yep, very nice playing. But i read that Gus Hansen lost 5 million $ in 2009, man this is poker. More hands, more hands and bankroll management rules :)


look even AA vs KK is not certain. I almost lose this hand to K high flush.

Play hand

And this hand just shows how not to play AK after you get re raised on flop after making c-bet.

Play hand

And here is the best way to play AK if you are a genius player like me.

Hand 3: NH!!!!!!! Now i know why AK is less profitable than it could be...Re-raising pre flop is leaking chips. Just fold to a raise or limp in and if you dont hit fold _cool: from :f_confused: to _evil: in one leasson...Thank you...You've changed my poker life! How can i send you the $100 this hand review is worth? Completer utter genius! Thank you :P

I'll ship you a couple of buy ins if you post this on 2+2


Another maniac play , I figured everyone had pocket pairs or speculative hands so I decided to raise with this trash hand from SB, everyone called so i figure my read is right.

When ace comes i c-bet since i also picked up a gutshot . Everyone called hmmm not good I guess they know im bluffing again :)

Then i get the gutshot and obviously check it hoping someone bets so i can check raise ... no luck , bet river take it down . weird hand tbh .

The Lion

The lion is rare in low limit games. He has good starting hand requirements, but will occassionally take a calculated risk on cards not on his “list.“ The lion plays aggressive poker when he is ahead and folds when he is behind. Occasionally the lion will bluff in an advantageous position, but his bluffs are rare enough that the other players must respect him. The lion is an excellent poker player, and makes his living taking chips from the mouse, elephant and jackal. A tight player who takes the occasional risk or bluff to keep from getting labeled a “rock“ would be a good example of a lion.

Now i know this is going a bit off topic so to get back on topic .

Here is a sample of how being a maniac is a powerful tool in the hands of a genius.

These hands are from one session.

Sometimes you win... Play hand

Sometimes you lose... Play hand

Sometimes you just need big balls... Play hand

And sometimes you just need to bluff ... Play hand

Sometimes they try to bluff me .. Play hand

And sometimes you just have to fold when you know you cant win...Play hand

And sometimes you take them to the cleaners...Play hand


Interesting... I must say I'm impressed by the amount of effort you put in the mere trolling.

Nice work Grailer. I think that AK pf fold is my highlight.


Now most good players these days run HUD's so they know if you are raising alot or playing super tight . I mean if someone has 0% pre flop raise and all of a sudden raise this is what will happen.

Play hand

As expected everyone fold, and I show the trash hand I raised with.

Then a few hands later ... BINGO .. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR KIND DONATION !

Play hand


Now we know at higher limits players often C-bet alot , and I love to C-bet which :)

As you can see from this hand

Play hand

Obviously I have to give up this hand on turn which is great because it sets me up for this next hand .

Play hand


Oh, this guy must know something about twilight strategy and reverse twilight strategy. In sake of twilight ill bet Youll muck AA preflop from time to time to fool others. Keep posting nice played hands! :f_ugly:


This thread makes me feel good about my pathetic poker skills. :f_biggrin:

I was a losing cash player but after studying " the lion" .. i was able to beat low limit and crush low stakes games online and live! amazing ! thank u so much ! :heart: u saved my marriage !


There is no question that I am a genius . Only a few gifted players in the world would have not fold their Jacks on that flop. Not only did I not fold , I moved all in that is how confident I was in having the best hand.

DO YOU FEEL THE POWER BABY ?

Here is a video of the hand :
