It's amazing how people like to either rep nothing or put you on a weak polarized range.

There's also this smaller hand against a midstacker... I always thought he was gonna go crazy when checked to because of his midstack. I had some doubts at the river but he doesn't value raise enough Jx so I call...

I've been saying it for a while... I'm actually proud of my WTSD - W$SD combination! ♠_cool:

In the book JB and TT are writing there's gonna be some small strategy guide for 5CD and I'm gonna be JB's lab rat. So far I've played 300 hands and I'm winning at 1BB/100 .

Hope to have a couple of thousand hands for when he returns from holiday.

I think I call too much in 5CD/don't fold as often as I should since my hand reading there is abismal.

Then again, I'm happy with my NLHE calling tendencies.

Played some more FL 5CD. Still up after 415 hands! ♦ Not by much ofc since the nature of the game is to be steady-eddie but I can tell why nobody really grinds it: hourly is loooooooow!

Thanks! I've played a reasonable amount of NL100 before but had trouble ( I was breakevenish), then got some coaching and 2 things happened:
1) I improved.
2) I started running better.

I said bang, bang, bangiddy bag...

Because of this great FTP news, I'm too hyped to play and because it's Tuesday, there's no real 'go out to party' opportunity so I'm offering some free coaching for whoever wants, regardless of the stakes.

I'm gonna watch a movie and return in 2 hours to see who's interested.

sweat NL100? please ♦

Interested! ♦

NL50 SH

help me beat NL10 zoom ♦ gogogo hurry fishes are running away

Might be interested to check out your thought process.

NL 50 sh, you have my skype :).

NL50 sweat?

OK, 45-50 minutes each, will get on Skype in about 10 minutes, I'll do it in order that you guys posted here.

I have Fabrice's Skype so no problem there but TiciBoy and SneakyhanD, add me on community and send me your Skype or get it from somewhere that we have in common in our contact lists.

Sent you a friend request.

But will not be able now. I'm meeting some friends. We are going sailing the day after tomorrow and need to arange some more stuff for it.

So if I can postpone for after I come back (little less than 2 weeks), that's great. If not, no problem. And thank you anyway.

Sorry, only a today thing.
