I think online poker is great. Lots of opportunities to stack off players. Had a typical example last night on Betfred with a hand which was raised and reraised before it came to me. The reraiser obviously had something strong but I had a pretty good read on him and reckoned that if I shoved he would struggle unless he had AK, QQ or better. I had him down as the type that would drink Earl Grey tea while playing poker and probably types website addresses every time instead of saving them in his favourites or creating a shortcut on his desktop. His reraise could have been made light or even a misclick cos I could tell that he wasn"t really concentrating on the game - probably wan king over some pop video on YouTube while playing. If he did call, I would be behind but I still had a number of ways of winning, plus there would be dead money in the pot. I might have taken the pot down there and then but Earl Grey boy happened to have picked up a monster. As the hand played out I hit trips on the flop. I could just imagine him spluttering his tea over his laptop like he was the first player ever to be outdrawn. Could tell he was playing above his level cos he didn"t reload but just went off to slit his wrists after one badbeat. Or else he went back to watching YouTube without the distraction of playing poker, the dirty bugger.

PLEASE START UR OWN BLOG VERY FUNNY AND DRY LMAO

coprey:
Agreed. With the spare time you have, I would expect an average of 3 or 4 highly witty posts per day. :)

AMRN:
For every 4/1 shot that you lose, I"m sure you win 4 others - but nobody bothers to post them on here.... and probably doesn"t even remember them.  

Understand that 4/1 means that you are likely to LOSE 1 in 5 times.

AA is not nailed on to beat JT - it will LOSE on average once in every 5 showdowns.

I"m sure that the original poster was happy when the cards were flipped over and he had AA vs JT - therefore he made a good play and got unlucky when it turned out that this was the one in five when AA would lose.

c"est la vie - reload, make a note on the player, move on, and make sure to play against him lots more.
