Hero has in the CO.

Folds to hero.

Hero?

As long as this ends with "Sorry John, I don't remember", my life will be complete

 

[JMC9389]

Raise to $900

 

[upNdown]

None of my business, but since you bring it up, I’m curious why you’re buying in so short.

I had $2k in chips with me when I sat down, and I sent a request for $20k in chips to be brought to me from my player’s account. For whatever reason, the chip runner was taking forever, so I decided to play with the $2k I had. I tripled up in hand #2, where my Qs held against AKs and pocket 10s.

When the chips eventually came 20 minutes later, I just left them in my bag since I was already up to about $10.5k.

Okay, I didn’t know if it was a strategy. I believe that’s a thing in PLO, but I don’t know about no limit.

Anyway, yeah, I’d 3x to 900. Keep it standard as hell. He might be getting older, but he’s forgotten more than I’ll ever know, so I’m not about to give any sizing tells.

 

[ekricket]

Raise to about $1000, and say “you know Johnny, I saw a movie once where you got bluffed off a decent hand” just as you release the chips

FOLD

 

[bergs]

It’s Johnny Fucking Chan…

 

[bergs]

I’d flip the script and stand up and start hip thrusting and making TOK TOK TOK noises and then say “EYEEE STEEEEK IT ENNNN YEWWWW”.

Then make it $1700 to go.

(This works better if they have zero history with you and think you might legitimately be legally insane)

this must be done by you and videoed at DID24

 

[bergs]

If Chan makes it to DID24, I’ll do it. If I’m still alive. That’s 21 years from now.

I'll take the under. Anyone else want in?

 

[surfik]

I do belive that I would just call....But I am a lousy player and this is J F Chan....

 

[bergs]

No action from me. It’s a great bet at even money.

I could think of worse flops by far. I'm just looking for a a lucky set mine or queens. I'd bet out 70%ish.

 

[upNdown]

Yeah I think I'm going to keep playing it like standard ABC poker and bet about 35%. $700

 

[bergs]

oh my god. the man has a strat thread of a hand with johnny fucking chan

(Yawn)

and still its the bergs and kifer bromance?

(watches clouds float by)

go get a room!

Oh, we’ve had one.

 

[Machine]

I like it, leaves room for him to raise but stiff enough for a fold

 

[BGinGA]

Bet $1500. Not giving Ax a cheap turn card.

 

[Rakrul]

I'm also no stranger to checking behind here to mix it up. We're ~3:1 favorite on his range here, giving free cards isn't the worst thing and it gives V the chance to bluff.

Since it's a super dry flop that doesn't hit villain that often, he would fold the majority of his range to a bet which is why I want to induce bluffs here but ~1/3 pot bet is also fine, and we'll take down the pot the majority of times. I don't expect too many c/r bluffs here, but pot control is nice and we want to cap the downside (when he has a set).

 

[jpietrella]

We only have $1k behind after the flop? Feels like a jam?

Reading is hard. Let's not get cute - bet $1,250.
