I thought I saw you with a lot of cash on one of your tables. Didn't think it was that high, good job.

I think a graph is in order now, btw.

Graph at the end of the month.

Day off today, so I spent some quality time with the kids playing Snail Bob. Snail Bob is SpongeBob's pet snail Gary's cousin. Good fun.

Had a weird session tonight where I started on a real heater, then got set up a few times, then had to change one table back to 50c/$1 because there was only one $1/$2 table running (decided to try $2/$4 once I have $600), then thought 'This just isn't my night. I should stop', then thought 'That's bollocks. There's no such thing. Am I unhappy with any of my decisions? No. So I play on'. Ended up $5 down after 400 hands, which was OK. Lost more than that at the 50c/$1 table. My win rate at 50c/$1 is half that at $1/$2, which makes no sense at all.

Tomorrow I have meetings at 10, 11, 12, 1, 2 and 3, and then lecture from 4-6. Ffffffml. It's my daughter's 5th birthday tomorrow, so I'm going to tell the students and knock off early. Hopefully they'll go 'Ooooh! That's so nice.' and before they realize I've short changed them, I'll be long gone. _evil:

Pre Draw: (1.5 SB) Hero is BB with A♣ A♥ J♠ 8♣ 4♠
UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, BTN raises, SB calls, Hero calls

First Draw: (6 SB) (3 players)
SB draws 3, Hero draws 3, BTN draws 3
Hand: A♣ A♥ J♥ 4♥ 3♥
SB checks, Hero checks, BTN bets, SB calls, Hero ???

I still keep thinking about this hand. I actually folded :facepalm:, BTN showed 99xxx and SB KKxxx, so I was not a happy bunny. However, thinking about it from SB's point of view, I think my hand is completely face up after I call and draw three and he has KKxxx (I don't think a reasonable player is calling QQxxx in BB there), so I think he needs to raise there to turn his hand into a bluff against me (not that he needed to as played. Pffff!).

Why no 3B pre? You're ahead of both of them (unless you have a read on SBs cold calling range).

Yes, we already decided I should have 3bet pre, and probably that SB should have 3bet pre as well. I suspect you were off watching the rugby when that conversation happened. :rolleyes:

Still drunk so quite possible.

What do you reckon if SB does 3bet? Should I cap or call?

Against unknown I would probably fold pre as a 3B will often be AA+ which doesn't give you the odds to CAP, and I would think not give you the odds to cold call either.

I think the only reason to CAP would be if you knew BU was loose and capable of bet/folding pre, and that SB was solid enough to have the same read and capable of making an iso 3B. Here you can put pressure on the SB, get BU to fold pre and play in postion post draw with all available info. Pretty specific spot though.

I can't think of a good reason to cold call here ever.

\begin{RANT}

Two new classics from students with A at 'A' level maths and at least a pass in the first two years of our maths degree. These are taken from my third year differential equations problems class.

Student 1: -1/(x-2) = 1/(2-x)......hand up.....'Is that right?'

Student 2: 1/(x+c) = 1/x + a
Me: How did you get that?
Student 2: I just redefined the constant c.

:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

Just received this email (honestly). Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

As our Director of Teaching Learning etc, I thought you might enjoy the email below.

Begin forwarded message:

Dear Fuckwit student (OK I made that bit up)

You deposited your coursework for Vector Calculus in the old coursework box which used to belong to Maths Department. You are not the first nor will you be the last to make the mistake so I will send your submitted coursework dated 27/10/2011 by internal mail to the Module Convener.

I have to say though that it bewilders me how you failed to read no less than 6 posters scattered all over the area which say “ School of Mathematics have moved to Mathematics Building.” On top of that, above the box where you dropped your coursework there is a notice that says “School of Physics and Astronomy coursework ONLY”. Lastly, did you not notice that there are no Maths staff anymore in the area near where the box is situated ?

I am copying your Personal Tutor so that he can remind you where the coursework submission box for Maths is now located. Note: it is not here in Physics Building.

Wait, the School of Mathematics were not previously in the Mathematics building? Must've been one empty building...

Just exchanged PMs with EVGalois, and it seems that he's makng a video based on interesting hands over lots of sessions, so, fingers crossed, I won't be in it.

Played a long session and booked a small loss last night. It's been a frustrating few days since my big upswing. BR keeps hovering around the $500 mark. I'm concerned I may have moved from the region marked 'bluffcatches at appropriate frequencies' to the one that says 'Huge Station'. I definitely need an adjustment there, and I also need to adapt more to the other players. There was one bloke last night who never folded. I picked up the hand I use to 3bet semi-bluff with and went ahead and 3bet him and then cbet. Oh dear! :facepalm:

I haven't been running terribly well either. On one table I was sat to the left of a bloke playing 48/8, which is code for 'limp any pair, raise anything better'. As predraw strategies go, this is not without flaws, and even I can work out how to exploit him, but still I couldn't syphon off his stack. I think mrsjb needs some tlc over the next couple of days, so I may not play much, but you never know.

Number one son is going to Alton Towers today with a friend to go 'Oooooooo!' and 'Eeeeeeeeee!' whilst whizzing around. I went with him once. It was fun, but I don't really have the urge to do it again. Maybe I have an adrenaline deficit. Anyway, this involves one and a half hours there and back twice for me and mrsjb working in shifts. Wtf were we thinking when we said yes? Being a parent is a bit shit sometimes. As long as he's happy I suppose it's OK. Pffffffff! :f_mad:

When you move over here and we adopt you, you can expect a diet of stale bread, water and severe beatings. Alton Towers? I don't think so! _evil:
