I rarely go to general chat so I have only just noticed that there is going to be a PL trip to Worcester on that day. As a large number of people may be around on that day would anyone be interested in a live Pl Poker tournament. If enough of us are we should be able to arrange something.

Re: PL Poker League + Top Money Winners Why not set up a poll for Laddies/Bet365/Paradise I have accounts at both laddies and bet 365 so am not to fussed either way.

Re: Punters Lounge 9 Tournament An excellent game and well played Jezza/laidback in the heads up. The only gripe I have was I was disconnected twice and other people had problems too. Is it possible to play on another site next time. I don't feel as though we owe Paradise Poker anything and should be able to move elsewhere if poss. Other than that thanks to Billy for organising it

Re: Punters Lounge 9 Tournament Count me in too - Whatever the time And Mikkav, You also need to think up a witty reply to all the people who come to the tables and ask for the password - Thats part of the fun

Re: An interesting question Only just read your reply Jezza. I have been thinking the question was a "what would you do in this situation" question and not a "totally theoretical" question hence my thinking was as it was. Once i realised this my thought pattern changed and I saw the logic in paying a small amount to confirm if you were a small favourite or big dog like you say. A good question and one which made me think a lot which is unusual. (usually either playing or reading about poker). Got any more good ones.

Re: An interesting question OK I must have got the question wrong. I thought as it was for 1K and that the offer would not be repeated it would have to be high. I could not afford to lose 1k so if I had JJ or less I would not play. Would you really call a 1K bet with K9 without paying anything. What is the biggest fav you can be. 66% against two undercards. too high a risk for 1K If you had K2 why pay the most with these. He is likely to have two middle cards so what have you gained. J8 is interesting but how much of your stack,5%,10%. Can you be anymore than 66% fav with J8. If you pay 5% with either J8 or K2 haven't you just given away most of your edge by paying if you turn out to be ahead. And lets say you pay 10% of your stack with KK and find he has Ax. Would this change your mind about calling. I can't help thinking if you pay with J8 or K2 you are hoping to be proved wrong but with KK you could save a large amount. Or if not KK then certainly QQ,JJ or 10,10.

Re: An interesting question I may have misread the question wrong but I'm sticking with KK as the most money I would pay to see his other cards. The reason is my main objective is to lose as little as possible as 1k is way more than I could afford to lose. By definition 1K to win is also a large amount. If the opponent said give me £300 and I'll show you my cards with KK I would pay it to be sure he did not have AA and I would still gain £700 profit. The £300 would be a sound investment against a piece of bad luck. KK against QQ and lower is 80% fav, and you stand to make 70% profit on your investment. If however I had 1010 and paid £300 then what. If he shows rag rag great but what if he shows KJ, what do you do then? Take the 50-50 for only £1700. If you only have 1010 surely you must pay something to find out where you are but not £300. Anyway Jezza when are you going to tell us the answer.

Re: An interesting question or put it another way how much would Dave Ulliot have paid to Donnache O'dea before going all in in Poker Million 2 with QQ to find AA. Jezzas question said no blinds and you are playing for 1k so if you fold you lose nothing remember.
-
Re: An interesting question If you had KK surely you would want to pay something (however small) just to be sure he doesn't have AA. At the end of the day a profit is more important. If you knew he had AA you would not call with KK.
-
Re: An interesting question Sorry - The above post is very unclear. I was thinking whilst I was typing. Hopefully you get my gist. 1K is a lot of money so the bigger favourite you appear to be so the amount you are prepared to pay for the information is greater to ensure that you get a profit at the end of the day.
-
Re: An interesting question I guess the answer is KK If you have AA you would call anyway. If you have KK then you would like to be sure your opponent does not have AA so you would pay correspondingly more for a 50 50 shot as you dominate every other hand. QQ less as it can be beaten by more hands (AA,KK AK) so why pay too much only to find you have to fold. Most other hands are likely to only be 50-50 shots so any money paid gives away your edge.

Re: Bad hands It was interesting to see Phil Ivey losing in the WPT tournament thread calling an all in bet with AJ. I too hate AJ and I also hate JJ. The JJ is always a hand I want to fold but can't quite seem to. So is it fair to say that any hand with a J is cursed (or overplayed)

Re: 15 grand guarenteed tourny. Sorry staff - Had to pop out Thanks for the offer - it will be a couple of weeks before I can go but I will be there sometime. I have never played live so I will probably try a smaller value tourney first I will let you know anyhow

PL Poker League + Top Money Winners
in Poker
Posted
Re: PL Poker League + Top Money Winners Both bet365 and ladbrokes now have a private tables facility. It can be accessed via the menu button and then manage private tables. It can also be set up with a password. I also made a comment in all innocence on the worcester races thread about rarely visiting general chat but having scrolled back a few pages I now see why it has gone quiet in here. Will there be enough people left to play this tourney?
