nevermind...

Thanks! I appreciate you working through the math.

Yeah, my raise was $200 even, I used "pot" in the writing as shorthand. Sorry for the confusion.

That was my thinking at the time. Had to bluff. No, no diamond on the flop so I didn't improve in any way.

I absolutely agree, but I felt stuck at this point. I tried to convince myself I had fold equity although the initial caller had 3:1 odds and anyone after that was even better. I was hoping the absolute value of the money may convince people to fold. What would you do, check/fold if you don't improve? I'm sure that's the EV+ play. Maybe I like the rush more than the money lol.

Pot bet was $200 (7 @ $31). The only caller was a younger asian guy but he was MP with lots of people to act behind. Seems impossible to believe that he called but I guess top pair was enough for him.

Similar thing happened to me...I'm in BB with 800 and have AdKd in a 1/3 game. UTG opens for $31. Seven players (!) limp behind. I'm thinking I've got to reduce the field so I pot it. ALL BUT ONE PLAYER CALLS. I guess I should've ripped it in? SPR seems too high for that. I do rip it in on a J84r flop and get called by some fool who double flatted preflop with JTo. I don't improve. Fuck me. I guess it's good for the game that this many fish are in the pool but damn...

I recently bought a home, the home has huge boulders that surround the front lawn (boulders are half the size of the house - at least the part you can see). My son and daughter-in-law came for a visit. Daughter-in-law: "Those rocks are pretty; did you have someone install them?"

Anyone have experience with shothole disease? I have peach and plum trees that are losing all their leaves and it looks like shothole disease is the culprit. How can I get rid of this shit?

probably even more so today...

It's not the season is it? I think it's just the first Act. Another one is supposed to come later in the year.

Lurch, I gather that you play Best Bet in Jax. There is a new blogger calling himself Slow Poker. Seems like a funny guy, have you seen/played against him at the tables there?

No! Dammit I didn’t either
