Second hand I would fold this as standard pre-flop - particularly in this type of game where I bet the rake is horrendous. However, if he is folding a lot pre-flop - I dunno, 30%+ - I am raising any two.

He was almost the best HU opponent you can imagine, I think he folded 50-60% preflop and all the flops that he didn't hit. I picked this up pretty quickly and raised 100% vs him, well, seemed that this time he got a bit mad. What a nice aggressive style, 3bet pre and checkdown if the board's scary. After the hand he called me a lucky donk or something like that for spiking the deuce on the river.

edit: Ofc I have him beat on the river, most likely I'm facing a strong ace high without a spade. I think he'd almost always bet a flush on the river. And imo there's a great chance he's calling with AK, AQ.

I have moved up where they respect my contibets

I don't agree with villain's analysis that he is good more than 20% of the time with king high on the river and therefore its a call

ROFL

The K-High calldown I made yesterday disagrees sir

You are clearly in need of more showdown monkeyness

Or maybe not...

Not another king high call down! I don't know where you find them all!

What we really need is to find a jack high call down somewhere...

Well I've already got the accidental Q-High Valuebet in the bag so J or T-High calldown is now the grail

What is it with these guys that call on the end with 8 high? Last week I saw something even worse - 3/6 short handed, he couldn't find a raise on the river head's up with a straight flush. I'm not sure whether he didn't see it or thought I might have a higher straight flush (you can never be too careful). At least he didn't fold!

Oops this is starting to look like a derail, sorry taavi

After lots of swinginess which almost made me move back to 0.5/1 I had a decent day at 1/2

♠_cool:

I just watched Revolver... Wow. What a movie!

I sometimes play 2/4cent Stud Hi at 888. It reminds me my early live poker days with my friends where everybody made remarks of how tight I was. Wait for the nuts and bet bet bet. Easy game

I just found out that I had been playing with play money all the time :/ fml

I took it quite well:

arjun02 >> 888 IS **** CON WEBSITE I AM GOING TO DELETE THIS * FOREVER
arjun02 >> MOTHERR **** CUNTSS HOPE YOU ALL GO BANKRUPT
arjun02 >> BASTARDSS
arjun02 >> CUNTTS

^^When solid players work out they're not solid.

How have I missed 'Revolver'? I'd never heard of it but the trailer looks awesome and I haven't seen a Guy Ritchie film I didn't enjoy. Haven't seen the one with his ex squeeze in it. Obv is obv.

Quite tame really. I would have got worked up after something like that.

I had quite an amusing one where I had followed a fish from a 5/10 table onto a 10/20 table on Stars. Being greedy, after a while I had a look to see if he was playing elsewhere. Unusually, he was and I loaded up that table as well. He left after a while but the table was so soft I carried on there. Some time later I realised it was play money.

I just couldn't believe somebody could play 10/20 play money at the same time as 10/20 real money. I mean, why would you?

Quality of the highest order.

August was nice:

UTG is a solid LAG-TAG over big sample size, nh wp man! =D

Poor MP must feel really sandwiched :/

Is rake capped at $1? (Shows in both big pots, but in the small 87s pot it shows 2.65$ rake )

It should be capped at $1... That $2.65 rake is really weird indeed, I'll find out what's up with that

edit: HEM shows that the rake is $0.65, and that's what it should be. Handconverter.com screwed it up

The overall rake at $1/$2 (avg. 4.8 players, 16k hands) is ca 4.35 BB/100, which is about the same as on Party.

I just met the nicest villain ever... Basically every hand vs him looked like this if I hit a pair:
