Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
Any given Sunday at about 4pm ...
My familar friend the Sunday Warm up appears ...
It"s one of the tournaments that doesn"t get in the way of life now that it starts at 4pm.
There does seem to be a slight move in the poker world to get to more sensible start and finish times - Bravo.
Side effect is that I lose control of the TV - which for the moment means I must watch "Make it or break it" - US wannabe gymnast show - super cheesy but quite addictive - I forget what comes next in the epic Sunday TV schedules ...
Honeybadg:
Spewy exit ...
I flat with 76s - flop 652 rainbow ... and call the bet ... call behind ...
Turn 7 - bringing the flush draw ... all in by the original raiser ... trivial call for me ... also called behind ...
The shove came from 44 ... call from 75 ... so I am 71.4% to triple up ... to nearly triple the average ... but the river is a spewy 3 ... to reward to the spewy shove ...
Exit night ... Time for Pizza ...

It"s at this point that you"re supposed to congratulate yourself on getting it in so good, and completely owning the other players........ but ffs, poker really does suck some times.
Honeybadg:
... I think that is roughly the feeling ...
Although to be honest my thought process is more quit playing until I can play the volume required to iron out the volatility ... until then I must smile ... although not often you get both a spewy shove and a spewy call in the same hand!
I want the shove, and the call but 28.6% of the time I am dead.
It"s a weakness in the game, but the weakness keeps the volume of players so high, creating massive prizes. I am amazed at some of the play you see ... the Genting exit was worse the limp call with Q8s is simply amazing ... unless I shove absolutely every hand it is -E(X) ... if I shove every hand it is about +1% ... GENIUS!
Swinebag:
