[Ronin]

I know there are quite a few poker players around RS. I tried (unsuccessfully) to get a regular game going a few years ago but issues like location came up.

Anyone interested in getting a game together or if someone already has a regular one going, need another player? I have no real preference on buy-in amounts. I'll play a cash game too if the stakes aren't crazy.

As this is a grey area, this is in no way associated with REVscene or any staff.

[Jgresch]

I'm down, and have a good following that would come along if we need moar players.

I'm down if its in Vancouver.

[JordanLee]

I'm down also. Anywhere in Vancouver/Burnaby is cool. I have another die hard bud thats down too.

[Grandmaster TSE]

i dont mind playing at all

[Manic!]

Why not set one up online?

[Greenstoner]

i hate BS set up hands online

[Ronin]

Because then I could just play online rather than taking your money. ;)

Online just isn't as fun as playing live. If there's more interest, I'll try to get something going again. We'll start with small buy ins and go from there.

Anyone have location ideas? My thought was always a public location...I know of several rooms at UBC we could use.

[Gary Oak]

i would also be down for poker. Just need a good location

[noventa]

i interested

[stewie]

if you guys can get a game going in burnaby/vancouver area, id be more then interested in joining!

me and some friends used to play once a week for a 20$ buy in. but now that they're all buyin condos and moving all around, we dont live beside each other anymore so we rarely play now :(

but yeah, if you guys can get a game going, gimme a pm or post up on here and ill try to make it if im free

[ek1]

count me in, pm me if theres a game anywhere in van/burnaby

[jaemc]

im down as well :D

[Fafine]

also down for van/burnaby area

[stewie]

think 24hr coffee shops like waves or tim hortons in burnaby on kingsway would care if we had a few games in there at night when its not so busy? might be a lil tight but you can easily pull a few of those small tables up close to each other and get a good 6 person game going.

[punkwax]

Starlight casino will let you play on their tables and provide dealer for mini tourneys. I think as long as the dealer gets $5 from everyone, ie 10 guys pay $55, $50 goes into pot and the other $5 goes to the dealer so he/she gets $50. Not sure if any other casinos will do this?

I'd be down for that for sure.

[DsZ24]

I'd be down, ubc seems a bit far tho.

Not sure how accommodating they would be with that...

But I would be down for a more legit place... It could even be someone's house... hahaha if they are willing to let people know where they live.

yea they host sit and goes but you need 10 players

they have 4 different buy in levels 30+3, 50+5, 100+10, and 200+20

they basically run it like a super turbo tournament though so it wud be no fun

1500 chips and blinds start at 25/50 and 15min levels

I'm pretty sure playing poker for money is illegal.

[PornMaster]

We should set up a pokerstars home game and we can chat on skype

[quasi]

I'm pretty sure playing poker for money is illegal.

Illegal to rake or profit from the game, not illegal to play for money. Don't know about playing in a restaurant or doughnut shop though that screams sketch.

We could do it at my house, My poker table seats 8... except I live in maple ridge:whistle:

[Slifer]

Anyone in Van/Burnaby wanna host a game? :D

[Ronin]

It would have to be in a public place. I really doubt if coffee shops would allow this.

Someone's apartment party room, an empty university classroom, etc is ideal.

As for security, well...we'll play small buy-ins like $20 first. I'm sure >200 bucks isn't going to get us mugged. Just don't bring too much money with you.

Also, 10 people is too many for a poker game. 8 people per table max. We'll split into two tables if necessary but playing 10 handed usually sucks. I like 6 at a table, personally.

[Grandmaster TSE]

yeah, 8 is a good number, 10 is a clusterfuck for a home game

[punkwax]

I have an 8 man table, but I'm in S Surrey... I'd probably want to meet people before I invited them into my home as well... call me old fashioned I guess?

I think doing an introductory game at a casino would be a good idea. According to a previous post, they go quickly, so a quick meet before I decide if I want any of you RS yahoos in my home :D

[fliptuner]

yeah, 8 is a good number, 10 is a clusterfuck for a home game

For a tourney, yeah but I'd rather have 10 and a spare for cash games.

[Ronin]

Was playing a low stakes cash game earlier. $2.5/5 blinds. I bought in for $200 and got to about $600. I got lucky on a hand where I made the nut straight on the turn but I made some good plays too. Hero called with sevens after a guy tried to bluff me with air out of a pot after the river flipped an ace. There was a $600 stack and a $800 stack to my left.

I was gonna leave soon since I tripled my $200 buy-in but I was playing well so I thought I'd go for a few more. Fold a bunch and then I look down at 8D8S and decided I would play this last hand. I figured I would just take it here and raised to $40. I was like WTF when I was re-raised to $80 and two other callers behind. Normally this would be a fold but what the hell. I'm up a lot and can afford to try to flop a set for $40. Pot is about $360 after my call.

Flop comes 8H4S8C. I'm trying not to explode.

I figure I was raised with pocket pairs or at least an ace something so I checked. Guy to my left bets $180. Two callers. WTF? I call. The only draws that can beat me are pocket nines or higher and they would have to runner runner quads.

Turn is 2H which gives me the nuts. I figured that if they thought they had the best hand before the turn, the 2H means nothing. No one would stay in the pot with pocket hearts trying to runner runner a flush. I check. Three checks behind. Shit.

River is the ace of diamonds. I know someone is holding aces at this point or at least one ace is out there so whoever thought they had the best hand is probably pretty sure now. I check.

Guy to my left goes all in. He's snap called by the guy to his left with the biggest stack. I re-raise all in and big stack calls me as well. Other guy that checked on the turn folds (he had K-2, he said, LOL).

Guy to my left turns over AA. He made AAA88. Big stack made 44488. I had 8888A. 2k+ pot. Awesome.

I played a few more so I wouldn't be taking the money and leaving but those guys didn't rebuy so I got up and left.

Was a pretty lucky situation. I can't imagine another one where probably everyone in the hand can seriously believe they have the best hand at all times, especially after I checked the flop. You're pretty much beaten by three hands if you're holding AA and two hands if you're holding 44 after the flop. Nothing changes on the turn and are almost the same on the river.

If I folded those 8s and saw that flop, I would've lost my shit.

[411ken]

^ Wow... what casino was this? calling 80$ with K-2 (tho he most likely lied) is crazy lol

and that flop/turn/river is like playing on the computer where someone caught something big lol.

And how can you even think of folding 40$ more when you bet 40 and three other dudes went 80$.. I would call that all day as the odds are huge

[punkwax]

Wow. If it were 10s instead of 8s you'd enjoy the lesser portion of a bad beat jackpot as well.

Nice hand.

[achiam]

I'm also down; perhaps it could be regular with a cut of the pots being donated to some sort of charity as well?

cold deck

and where was this? cant believe you can buy in at 40bbs

[fliptuner]

Wow. If it were 10s instead of 8s you'd enjoy the lesser portion of a bad beat jackpot as well.

Nice hand.

That's the first thing I thought too. Bad beat at Blvd is probably pushing 50K right now so 12.5K plus the pot ain't too shabby.

And Ronin, 2.5/5 = low stakes to you? Daaamnnn. Not that it's high but at 3/5 I'd normally buy in for at least 100x the BB. Losing session would be around 1.5K and a winning one over 3K = not exactly a small game. Normally people should have bank for at least 3 buy ins, which makes 15K in the room (if it's a house game) - something I wouldn't be comfortable with around strangers.

It's funny cause the game I play with my friends is .25/.50 + straddle but there's always so much action. Average first raise is like $4 (no straddle) $7 (with straddle).The only reason the stakes are so low is cause we have to accomidate the guys with families that don't want to potentially drop 1K on a night of poker. Most of us play higher limits (3/5, 5/10, 10/20, 3/5PLO) but get more excited playing the little house game cause we like crushing eachother/action. Many times we're more pissed losing $200 there, than 2K at a bigger game. We coined it "Extreme Poker" lol. Angle all you want, pump fakes, run it 3 times, side bets. We also tip the dealer/host since he deals out the whole night and there's no house rake. It's a fun game.

[Greenstoner]

I love gamble and I love poker. However, I'm on a break now. I can be you guy's designated dealer and just chill there. Give me a shout, cheers

[fliptuner]

More action = more tips

[Ronin]

Yeah, I'm almost certain the K-2 was a lie. I think he was holding kings, checked on the turn thinking no one has a set, his KK was good and wanted to trap, which is retarded because if you called a huge ass bet before the flop, we've probably figured out you have better than K-2. I think he saw the A on the river and knew his hand wasn't any good.

Private game. $200 was the minimum buy-in. I've played these guys before and usually the stakes are much lower. I don't know why they went with this but $200 was the minimum buy-in, which I thought was crazy. It was a funny game but we usually play quite a bit smaller. I'm almost sure they didn't really know what they were doing in setting up a bigger game but what the hell.

I bought in at the min because one...I was a bit scared of playing with more and two, these guys think I'm crazy. I'm usually the one playing with the big stack and trying to intimidate and force decisions. They know I have a big range playing from that position...I actually like playing anything suited, especially connecters or close. I've bet into them with air, I've raised with 9-6 off so I figured they might be thrown if I buy small and play tight. For this kind of money, if they put me on 9-6 off when I actually have a monster, I could hopefully induce some calls when they think I got nothing. That and I think two of the players at the table are just dead money. Not the guys that I played that hand against but two guys to my right. I doubled up through one so I thought that having a mid/big size stack after buying in for the minimum would be just as intimidating.

Yeah, cold deck. I'm not telling you guys because I think I played the hand well. I said I think I got lucky...although I think checking quads is a fairly good play. :D I thought of folding even at those pot odds because of the size of the raises which I thought would mean a AK-pocket pair race at best and the far likelier scenario is that they're holding pocket pairs so I would be drawing thin with 88 against AA, KK, etc but I was enticed by the odds and since it would be my last hand anyways. If that flop came anything but at least an 8, I was going to be folding.

Nice hand...

Definitely not as exciting as the stakes were lower and it was online, but I've had a similar hand back back when I used to play where three players with pocket pairs hit two full houses and a quad.

It's been awhile, so I don't remember the nitty gritty details, but I was holding 7's. Flop comes QJ7. Three of us were all in on the turn, which was a blank. River came the case 7 for my quads. The two others held QQ and JJ.

All three of us hit a set on the flop... but I luckboxed it out to hit my quad on the river.

[fliptuner]

I think you pretty much got the max, regardless. You could've bet into it as a "feeler" bet only to get raised, so you could smooth call and check-call the turn to act weak and maybe throw out a "desperation" all in on the river, which would've got called anyways.

I bet on your drive home you were thinking "Way to raise the stakes, suckers" lol

Totally. This was the highest stakes game we've ever played. Half the table bought in for $500. $200 is a lot of money but I figured it would be a heck of a fun game to play regardless and I was confident after buy-in with my position on the fish, LOL.

I lost $25 a couple weeks ago playing PLO with the same group. Barely ever played omaha before...maybe a couple times in small buy-ins online and once in a $20 buy-in table. Watched like 20 hours of guys like Phil Galfond and Phil Ivey play PLO to soak it in. One of the guys that I think sucks at hold 'em is either amazing at PLO or obscenely lucky. I know the range of hands to see a flop with is very different in PLO.

Still sucked ass at it, LOL. There's so many draws and wide range of hands in that game. If you don't have the absolute nuts, you're never fully confident you have the best hand.

Really fun game though. I might play some very small buy-ins or even the fake money online to figure it out.

[fliptuner]

Yeah, sorry guys. Should've just PM'd me anyways, we ended up playing til 4. lol

To give an idea of the action, of 8 players: 3 @+/- $50, 1 @-$180, 1@+$100, 1@-$500, 1@+$500

I went on a rollercoaster ride, down $350, up $250, then down $180 for the night.

It's not a big game by any means but there's lots of action and a lot lighter than playing at the casino. The dealer will rabbit hunt if you want, you can run in several times on big pots, etc. etc.

If we're short again, I'll post up.

[rice cooker]

also cant stand short stackers, we need a 100bb - uncapped game. that be an awesome game

[fliptuner]

Short stacks don't last in our game cause they're only given 2 decisions: all in or fold. 90% of the time they'll get called by 4+ players and get run down or no one will care about the main pot cause the side pot will be huge. And if they don't get called, whoopdidoo, they just won 75 cents. lol...good job!

I couldn't find the other poker threads.

(still) Watching final 3 at WSOP Main Event. +9hours, fuck. At this point they're all within 10% of where they started 3 way action. More all-ins now that the blinds are up and shortstack has to make moves.

Either way, great final 3. Great players, both in skill and sportsmanship. Too bad TSN fucked up the schedule and we missed the first 6 guys getting knocked out.

I know who I want to win and he's been playing excellent and staying composed through a few tough beats. (Not going to name anyone in order not to ruin it for some but if you're watching, you kno who it is)

anyone planning to deposit money to full tilt poker in 2 days? i cant wait :)

[Jason00S2000]

I wonder if it's because I'm artistically inclined, but I find poker the most boring and lame thing, ever. Unless it's strip poker.

Meanwhile, some of the most boring chinese people I know, absolutely love poker.

I wonder if it takes a certain type of mind to enjoy it?

[punkwax]

Poker is an analytical and competitive game. That's why I enjoy it.

[quasi]

To each his own but I find poker very relaxing and enjoyable. If I have some spare time I love going to play. I probably play 3-4 times a month and it's almost always a good time, I say almost because there are those nights where you're like this sucks but I find them few and far between. I also love watching good poker being played on TV. I'm not huge on online poker though, I prefer playing live for the social aspect.

2h 4h 5c.

I can't figure out how to do the odds in my head. TIA.

Your opponent has 13 outs...flush draw (9) with open ender (6 minus your 2 aces)

general rule of thumb is you multiply your outs by 4 on the flop and 2 on the turn, so in this case, your opponent has a slight edge of 52% favourite even though you're ahead

Put $20 on my poker stars account on Saturday. Played for 3 hours and stopped at $185 :woot: Can't figure out how to cash out though because my instadebit account got blocked :s

Thanks, I was confused as I did the above calc at the game, but then I thought to myself. My opponent could also catch runner runner Kings, should I not factor that into the calculation? Likewise, how do I factor in my potential to draw out.

Thanks.

^
The 52% includes the subset combinations for running K's as well as 3's. If a King does come on the turn, then like Jerche said, multiply by 2 . Therefore, his outs has increased from 13 to 15 because he can know catch an addition king for a win. And as such, the odds of your opponent winning by the river is now about 30 percent.

What do you mean by "how do I factor in my potential to draw out"?

I see what you mean. I wasn't sure if there was % changes I should factor into a call on that flop for the possibility of catching, for example, runner, runner Aces.

You were the one calling? You should be the one leading out (betting, raising)

Calling shows weakness, I usually just fold or call to float and bluff/steal/catch something on future streets.

I feel this hand was played poorly since you were the one calling on the flop AND your opponent gets to see the flop with K3 suited....what was the preflop action?

In the end, my money is going in with AA on the flop regardless especially in 1/2.

FYI, when you think you're ahead, you don't calculate your opponent's outs, you just try to maximize value or protect your hand.

Well, I'll tell you what happened and you can maybe give me some pointers.

I was in a tourney with 4 ppl left. I was in late position and raised 6 times the BB. K3 called, flop came and they raised all in which was equiv to what I had left chip wise. Prompting my quick call.

^I honestly think u did nothing wrong, 6 times the big blind near the end of the tourny is huge. For him to shove all in before he lets u get a chance to bet or bluff on the flop tells me he doesnt have a made hand yet or just 1 pair so hes just semi-bluffing. In the end u called with the best hand and the majority of the time u will win but sometimes ull end up losing.

[fliptuner]

Yeah, not much else you're going to do there. RiceIntegra pretty much covered the situation. He either went in on a draw or called your huge pre-flop raise with middle pair or something and was protecting or maybe was bullying with a big stack. Either way, you're calling.

can't say anything about this hand until we know the payout structure and effective big blinds. Also, what position was the K3? I dunno, a 6 BB betting line as the first bet is not something I see often in any situation.

[fliptuner]

In your avg. tourney, no.

You gotta check out our house game...lol

[Verdasco]

static, download pokerstove, it is a good software to calculate odds

Also, i think you raised him 6x on the SB since called so loose... or the button :suspicious:

no way he is folding flush AND straight draw, money is going in.

[jerche]

All this time, I thought you were talking about a cash game.....you should've stated that right from the beginning. Changes the whole dynamic. I am not a tourney player so I cannot comment lol.
