eejit101 · #1 10-14-06, 11:55 PM

so i tried it, sat with $80 at 2/4 on stars

got to the min buyin for 3/6, then 5/10, now playing 10/20 sat with $670.

Gl to me!

limped PF cos this guy is tight, and i know i can make a move here for his blind if i slightly hit the flop, but the river here costs me a big bet/call.

Why not just make a move for his blind preflop? That limp was gayer than me.

eejit101 · #4 10-15-06, 12:06 AM

good point. id raised the last couple of hands before so didnt want to seem like too much of a raising guy, and lose value when i bluff in the future

Boobie Lover · #5 10-15-06, 12:16 AM

Um, shouldn't the turn bet double in size from the flop?

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm a moron. Didn't see no limit.

im not as good as JD then

MINbet holdem = LIMIT holdem

Buying in for less that the max at NL is gayyyyy.

JDMcNugent7 · #8 10-15-06, 01:39 PM

yeah. i was gonna ask why the hell this thread was called MINbet and ur playing NL.

eejit101 · #9 10-15-06, 07:52 PM

yeah, good point, fancied trying it from a different way.

PShabi · #10 10-15-06, 07:55 PM

Isn't the NL version called a "rampage" or something?

jimmym · #11 10-15-06, 09:24 PM

Fuck Me ,,

EEEJIT $1140.75, I know you won 65k. but only a week ago this amount would be massive to you. Seriously dont you think your playing above your skill level.

I just feel in a couple of months you will be posting some sad stuff. Take time of , go on holiday, leave the poker alone for a bit.

PShabi · #12 10-15-06, 09:28 PM

Ummm, I think you missed the point of the whole "minbet" thingy.

jimmym · #13 10-15-06, 09:30 PM

I did , see he started with 80, sorry eeejit.

PShabi · #14 10-15-06, 09:51 PM

Either way, I still think it's a pretty stupid idea, unless you're mega-rich and bored. Limit's another story, cause if you build up huge, you don't really run the risk of busting in one hand like this.

Talking Poker · #15 10-15-06, 10:13 PM

Exactly. I may give it a go (limit) one of these days... Someone should start a new thread, explaining how it works, and list the minimum buy ins needed for each level. Then people could give it a go. We could even make a contest out of it.

PShabi · #16 10-15-06, 10:21 PM

Minimum buy-in is going to depend on the site, isn't it?

Talking Poker · #17 10-15-06, 10:23 PM

I suppose. Maybe someone could list the big (3?)....

PShabi · #18 10-15-06, 10:26 PM

Or just make the forum "standard" buy-in sufficient to cap each betting round of the first hand? (i.e. $120 for 5/10)

Talking Poker · #19 10-15-06, 11:15 PM

That's an even better idea.
