FYI: brainwasheddodo, the insider who posted all the files implicating Russ Hamilton, just started posting again in the AP/UB thread in NVG. Might be some good stuff in there tomorrow.Mark

Hey anybody know the bonus policy for absolute, they've got deposit bonuses all month...how long do I have to wait to withdraw after depositing by same method?Help appreciated. Can you just stack these things up or wat?
48 hours I believe.And you can't redeposit and claim a bonus if your withdrawal happened <12 hours prior to the start of the new bonus period.

Yeah. Usually AP say they'll be having a bonus at a certain time, so it's best to just withdraw like 2-3 days before then, and deposit when the bonus comes into effect:)

AP's so bad. I just collated my stats there and cannot believe the softness. 6-max stats;Full Tilt $10 nl - 2.77 bb/100 30k hands$25 nl - 3.12 bb/100 9k handsAP $10 nl - 11.96 bb/100 11k hands$25 nl - 5.20 bb /100 7k handsGranted the rake is why my bb/100 is lower on Full Tilt, and the fact that I learned how to play NLHE there, but that difference is still like whoa huge

probably not, as I don't have any graphs, formulas, or references to quantum data, butpf - he has QQ/AA (you have two of the kings), and since you'll have position on him you can play almost perfectly against his limited range. You also probably don't feel comfortable getting kings ai pf against this guy for 175 BBs. flop - same as above - no point raising, as again you have position on him, and you don't want to raise into MP's potential set. May be considering that MP's line (open pf, call a tight 3-bettor), fold OTF, indicates a big ace so the odds of SB having AA have decreased. turn - TP scares him, and he shuts down so you bet just enough to commit him to the river, which you shove and only need to be up against QQ a certain amount of the time to make the play +EV. There's some math here that I don't really get, like $100 into a pot of $170

You're close, but how about I tell you I thought I was bluffing?I wouldn't post this hand in here if it was as straightforward as just KK>QQ. :club:

dubious bluff IMO then. I see that he's afraid you've made trips, but once he calls on the turn he's going to call your river shove with QQ+, right? He has to be really really bad to fold aces there with the odds he's getting. Overall your play's fine, as you have the best hand more often than not, and I think MP's presence is a bit helpful in making the decision (sick spot for him if HE had QQ OTF).

Can you think of a hand that QQ can beat on the river?

It's not me you're running the value bluff against though; it's villain. If it were me, I'm calling this river every time with QQ+ because I wouldn't proceed past the turn unless I planned to call a safe (non-A) river. I'm not the greatest player but I at least think ahead somewhat. So against you, I'd probably c/f QQ on the turn as by that point I'm beating nothing. Multiway, 3-bet pot - you don't show up with air here. IN SHORT - I wouldn't be at the river if I weren't planning to call a shove.

Why did you shove the river if you thought you were bluffing? What better hand did you expect him to fold? Like Trystero said, I don't expect AA to fold (and obviously he wasn't since he called with QQ). Basically the only hand he would have that he could fold, given that he has a low 3bet% is AK, which you beat, and is basically eliminated on the turn unless he's retarded. I R Confused.

I really thought he would fold AA. Calling $100 on the river when you only beat a bluff (and there really aren't many hands that I could be bluffing with) pretty much has to be a massive mistake against my range. I don't really know what my true range is, but I'm almost never calling that flop bet light.I was betting the turn to get value from both QQ and AA, expecting that he would fold both to a river shove. That's why I left him with enough (or so I thought) to fold on the river.Obviously though, because he snapcalled with QQ I'm a genius.
