Ohh. Think I just hit a new level of thinking today. The one where it really doesn't matter what I have as long as I know what they have.I mean, it's one thing to learn it. It's another thing to actually feel comfortable with it. And I think I'm there.

Accurately pinning ranges is a step in the right direction... the next key is to figure out how to get them to do what you want them to with it...Then the next step is to figure out how to adjust when your cover is blown and nobody folds anything ever to you.

Oh...I've also started doing a sort of slowroll thing at Rush. When someone shoves on me in a ridiculous spot and I have no intention of calling, I use my entire timebank. This'll usually happen when they limp re-raise or something or shove for like 10 times the pot. If they have a value hand, they get to think that I might call. If they have a bluff, they get to sweat. Maybe this is stupid/spiteful.

Its your timebank and you can do whatever you damn well please with it. Using it to torture ******* plays is a fine use in my book.

Also, I try to take notes in Rush when I see something extraordinary, but it's difficult. I do tend to 'Purple' people that have 4-bet me and forced me to fold after 3betting pre.

How do you respond to this? Do you keep a 4bet stat?

It seems a little silly to me Marchant (the timebank thing in rush), mainly because you're hurting your own hourly much more than you are on a regular table. Because in those 30 seconds you can fold 6 times and flop a set

Those last 4 hands are pretty gross Ninja, I just got sick of scrolling through 47465876 flips that you lostMy rush week experience:+$875 in rb/bonuses

mbn to profit during rush week.+ ~725 in rb and bonuses.How the hell did you make more in rb/bonus than I did by playing half the hands and half of your hands at full ring? We got the same $250 bonus?edit - f you and your ironman bonus.

We also hurt our hourly rates by posting on FCP...If doing something keeps you from tilting it is the biggest +EV move you can make

For the most part I agree, but sometimes it is the best line against aggro nut villians. Perfect example was last night. I had villian 2 to my right. Was running 91/75 over 125 hands. I got AKs. He raised 5bb, I call (also had another big fish on my right and i had no problems being in pot with both of them). Flop comes Axx, second fish bets 2bb, first fish(orig raiser) bets pot. I call, second fish folds. Turn A, fish shoves, I call. He has A9 I win 1.5bi's....Next hand I have KK, exact same thing, I just call and let fish hang himself, easiest 2.5bi's ever.Kosin trouble

Online roll is on life support at $300 split between Stars and FT-I has enough personal mobnies to get through 2 months... 3 if I stretch it-After that I has $1600 more as a roll and the casinos JUST opened up live table games around meWhere/how should my investment plan be going?
