gmml - 4k posts without being good at poker

hey what's up, i'm givememyleg and i am now a straight flush here at ftr. this seems to be one of those memorable ranks to achieve and people make a thread for it and stuff. so here is mine, ask me any questions, and i will answer them.

who took your leg?

Why are you not good at poker?

[x] multiple burns
[ ] aloe

'sup Gimme, and congrats on your posting exuberosity...

so my question is about Squeezes... according to HM, I do them very, very low... which makes sense, 'cause IDK when the f-ck to do them...

I' mean, like, I know what they are... somebody IP raises, someone flats and you 3-bet the whole f-kin lot. My problem is I have no idea when I should be thinking of doing this. If I have a bad ass hand (AA,KK) then I'd do it... but ain't squeezin, that's value betting!

So... what types of hands are good for squeezes, and what types of vills am I lookin to get squozed?

[x] aloe

- i don't play enough hands to gain experience
- i hate hate hate (negative) variance
- i don't play enough hands
- i've been on ftr for 3 years, made 4k posts, and my bankroll still never cracked 5 figures
- i don't/can't give good advice (ask freech)
- never really "got it" when it came to understand math/ranges

in all honesty i would rate me around a C+/B- when it comes to skill and a D- when it comes to dedication.

ty

i hardly ever squeeze during cash as well... during tournaments they're fun. but as the op said, taking advice from me won't get you too far. i feel like i'm one of those "know what to do but have never actually done it" people. what good is that?

HU?

Okay...

so can you pwn "Capital G" on Rock Band at Expert for 5 stars???

bitch, please

How much do you think becoming a commune reg has hurt your ability to get better. I mean if we all spent half as much of our time we spend in the commune on study and poker would we all not be just that much better.

And, just hey!

How do you get past the fact that since you are in the UP you can't leave your house from Nov-Mar due to snowdrifts.....

This is a 2 part question:

1. Why would you say I own you all the time?

2. How much do you pay your gf to stick around, we all know you're dating way over your head.

probably has an impact, however commune whoring is near the bottom of the list of reasons why i lack dedication.

and hello!

Helped a buddy of mine move to Marquette a few years ago (he spent a year teaching at NMU), and I asked several people how they liked it there and how the winters were, etc. EVERYONE loves it there except for one cute bartender originally from CA who couldn't wait to leave. My god, I would go crazy with all that snow and cold......

he must have been hanging out with some crazy ass people while he was up here.

the summers here are awesome, i love it. it's not too hot, not too cold, although a bit humid but that's just variance. we have a lot of great things big cities don't, but man, i just can't stand the winters....

serious question: is there really something wrong with your leg?

LOL Yeah....

I was in Lake Superior, and the water couldn't have been more than 70 degrees. This was late July mind you. Seriously, though, that area is nice, the park on the island there right outside of town (can't remember the name of it right now) is great and there is a lot to do. Sucks that Green Bay is the closest big city though, and you have to go 2 1/2 or 3 hours to get there....

I like the drive between Escanaba and Menominee along Lake Michigan--isn't that M-35? And I gambled at one of the Indian Casinos there too.....

How did you get 4k posts if you only post in the commune? And how do you lock threads even though you're not a moderator of anything?

1) Remember that time we hung out in Vegas?

2) Did you put this in the BC purely for post whoring?

Why are you so nice?

Blind man's bluff?

ha lake superior is one of those lakes you swim in only when it's scorching hot out. in august i can usually stand in swim in it for a while, but damn it is cold. there are other smaller lakes and other places to swim that i pick over superior... just too damn cold. all the casinos that ive been to around here are horrible, although vegas totally heightened my expectations.

1) yes and i enjoyed your company, especially like playing cc roulette with you. although you didn't teach me craps, when you guys were playing i was way too out of it to follow instruction.

2) not really, spenda posted his here and i wanna be just like him. but since i did, might as well answer every single question one at a time eh?

gogogogogo.

as an act of rebellion against the man, i will (eventually) be making my 4k post in another forum.

Why do you prefer HEM to PT3?

If you think PT3 sucks so bad, why dont you just buy HEM and transfer your database?
