    Thanks Pelion...I'm getting a headache thinking about that now.

    I assume AYC means "all your chips"? I like to try to guess these things but I'm usually wrong.

    kinda. Although it actually stands for "All You Can Eat, Baby" - which basically means getting your chips in the middle / going all-in.

    I'll update this later when I get home from work.

    Crying Call?

    I've seen this a lot, but I'm not sure if I have the definition right. Is it calling a raise on the river where you maybe/probably beat, but because of the large pot you can't fold?

    I tried searching the forums and the contexts that I found the phrase in seem to suggest that anyway.

    basically u got it.

    Its when you make a call expecting to lose, but think you are good enough of the time to justify calling for the generous pot odds you are getting.

    havent seen cooler yet. my definition is prolly wrong. but, i see it a lot on the river when a 1-2 outer hits.

    he got "coolered." or, the "cooler card" hit on the river.

    the dictionary says, "cold deck." somehow i dont think thats how mike "the mouth" uses it on tv.

    Cooler is the opposite of heater, isn't it? It implies a run of bad luck, whether it's in terms of bad beats or simply not getting making hands.

    so, i suppose if you dont hit your card (flush draw) on the river, you GOT coolered.

    meaning, you cannot "cooler" somebody when it is you that sucks out.

    i think i got it. but i guess it was good for my image to look like the idiot i was when misusing the term...

    I don't think not hitting your draw counts as a cooler - I mean, that's the likely outcome, right?
  13. #163
    cooler = cold deck. they both mean you have a basically unfoldable hand (given stack size) against a better hand:

    example, KK vs AA, set over set, K high flush vs A high flush, 9x on a 87654 board if opp has 9T, etc.

    classic example from HSP was the pot with Daniel and Gus where they both flopped sets - cooler for Gus- until Gus made quads (super cooler!).

    thank you. it s the "unfoldable" part i was missing.

    i thought cold-decked was playing 400+ hands and not but a very few raisable hands, given situations, and then missing flops with the few chances you get. or all your marginals being dealt to you in ep, where you know you cant play most of them. basically, just the deck running "cold" to you.

    a 2nd best hand (set over set) is not a cold-deck, to me. it's just an unfortunate situation handed to you at the expense of a poker god's sense of humor.

    but, i learned something today. thank you.

    absolutely correct, but in terms of running cold, draws dont hit even once in a session. when hot, they all seem to hit...

    whats an "overlay"?
  20. #170
    Cooler and cold deck both originate from live poker where someone switches the deck in play to a stacked deck, probably using some kind of sleight of hand.
    The new deck is designed to have a situation where you cant help but lose all your money.

    Once a deck has been in play for a while the cards are slightly warmed up by the players and dealers hands. The new, stacked deck is therefore a "cold deck".

    These days it doesnt imply any kind of cheating and just means a situation where you just get unlucky and cant help but lose your money because of cards/ stacks/ situation or whatever.

    A heater is the opposite and I guess the term heater probably came around later as an opposite to cooler.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    in a hand of poker overlay is usually the money currently in the pot.

    Example, if you are in the bb in a donkament with T7o, the blinds are 200/400/25ante, and a 1200 stack goes all in, it folds to you. You are almost certain that his hand beats you, yet you still must call because you are getting ridic good pot odds, the 800ish worth of overlay (your posted bb, the posted sb, and 8-9 25 antes) is forcing you to make a plus ev call.

    Also, overlay exists in a different way in an unprotected pot when you are semibluffing. You might decide its a good idea to bet/3bet all in on someone with nothing but a flush draw (32% chance of winning when all in), you figure he folds enough so that the overlay pays you off well enough that you don't care the times he calls and you have to gamble.

    Also, whenever you make any bet with positive expectation, the amount you are profiting is considered overlay. Like if i were dumb enough to propose that if you bet 1 dollar that this coin comes heads when i flip it, i'll give you a 10 dollar bonus whenever it comes heads twice in a row, then that 10 dollars would be overlay on your neutral ev proposition (flipping a coin for 1 dollar), and turning it into a very plus ev proposition.

    Also overlay is when theres a tournament with a guranteed prize pool but not enough entrants to cover the guarantee. EX: $100 buyin and a $20,000 guarantee, but only 120 entrants. This means there is only $12,000 in entry fees but still $20,000 prize pool, the $8,000 is the overlay.

    No-one answered smooth call vs flat call. Also, cold call? Is there any difference between the three?

    However, some rookie players will make a huge bet with AA or KK because they believe the rumor that if you slow play a great hand it will get wrecked. All it takes is to get screwed over once with AA or KK to make you think that you have to bet huge. This is a mistake.
    The action is to Tom and, as expected, he comes out firing a $250 bet. What now? Well, you could come back over the top of him and take this pot right now. Or you can do another smooth call and go for the kill. You think for a few moments, hesitate as if you are in great pain, and then smooth call by matching his $250.
    There are 2 main "conditions" for performing a smooth call, here they are:

    1. You must have AA, KK or maybe QQ. Big Slick (AK) is a risk as you have nothing. A pair of 3's can kick your butt. If there is only 1 player in the hand you can try to play AK on a smooth call if you are in late position.

    2. You have good positioning. Fold your AA if more than 3 people are in a huge pot preflop. Heads-up AA is only 64% pre-flop. With 3 or more it goes down to 39%. Most people won't risk their stack for a 1/3 chance to win.
    AMAZING!

    If anyone had any doubt, this is a smooth call ppls.

    What I like best about it is the way it suggest you can only call a raise pre with QQ+

    smooth call: calling a bet with nothing invested in the pot this street

    cold call: calling a raise with nothing invested in the pot this street

    flat call: calling a raise with a bet invested this street

    overcall: calling a bet or raise after one or more ppl in the middle have called


    the extreme overuse of "flat calling" drives me completely nuts

    Jack-high straight flush motherfucker
    is an exclamation made after winning a big pot



    clean outs: standard outs to "make" your hand
    dirty outs: outs that will make your hand but will make someone else a better hand, for example 9 completes your straight but completes villain's flush, or also higher straight

    yeah, i hear it has something to do with losing money. i asked Cocco_Bill, and he said, "what? downswing? never heard of it....quit wasting my time, dillhole." he followed up with, "theres 2 BI's worth of time that i'll never get back."

    j/k i dont want to put words in someone's mouth w/o clarifying my sarcasm.

    really, he said, "ask euph, i hear he's half-stacking now. he should be able to tell you."

    sorry, more sarcasm...i cant help myself.

    i feel like el tardo asking this after playing for a while, and especially when the thread has been silent for almost three months, but i'm not sure where to search for this particular bit of information

    when people are describing players, and using a fraction such as 48/30 or something similar, to what precisely are they referring? i'm sure its something about their raising or calling over so many hands or something similar, but i just figure its best to ask and not be guessing

    it's using their pokertracker stats.

    VPIP%/PFR% basically vpip% is % of hands played and the other is pre flop raise %.
