****July Poker Chat Thread****

posting cause google chrome is gay and doesn't support the dropdown menu so I can just subscribe to this thread without having to post.

same here, although i don't know if chrome is the only one to be blamed, because it does work properly at 2p2, and 2p2 uses the same vbulletin as cc afaik.

Hi July !

 

[switch0723]

why do people use chrome, when firefox is better?

because chrome is a gazillion times faster...

Lies!

chrome > fox > IE

 

[KingCurtis]

well I have come to a new theory, whenever a title is changed it's like a ritual here at CC, and when it happens some run good, and when it stays some run good. It's been happening this way siince CC was established 13k years ago.

 

[KingCurtis]

not to self: any player at 25nl who pushes with a 20BB stack has KK, not AA, but KK...

Stop looking at short term, it's a long term grind. Get ready for the marathon. And nobody will care are how below EV you ever get. Ever.

tough love ITT...

Absolutely right, though. Besides, most of the luck probably comes in the form of coolers and not as bad beats, so EV is a poor indicator of luck anyway.

first cash session of the month, up 2 buy ins

july is going to be good

 

[switch0723]

I wasn't complaining about the luck, just mentioning that its a good way to start the grind. Technically from the last 2 sessions last month and the lowest point i was at during today, i had a 10 buyin swong, and it didn't even phase me enough to mention it . Until now ldo

This. If you get dealt AA every time and your opponent is dealt KK every time and you only win 75% of the all ins, is that bad luck?

I'm playing FR for the next few days as a warm up for Vegas. I haven't played there on Stars in about 3 months ... seems like regs are either uber-nits or TAG players that are maniac 3betters in the BB (10%+).
