[Jets GM]

gl + run well imo.

[GM Office Q]

Shuffle up and deal.

[Virtual Jarmo]

So I'm stuck $250, it's 2 a.m., and I'm in a shitty mood.

Played 2nd/3rd best hand all fucking day. Flop a set and have a straight or flush turned/rivered on me. Flop four flush and hit two bricks. Pick up an over pair, there's a bigger one out there or someone flopped a middle set. Just one of those days where everyone's the god damn cooler.

I'll sim first thing tomorrow morning when I wake up. Sorry boys.

i always like to post my HH at 2+2, they'll criticize almost every single decision you make throughout a hand (right or wrongly) and at the very least make you think about different ways you could of played the hand which should help in future. warning: not a forum for fragile ego's.

That's just it. While I'm sure there are things that I did wrong, I don't feel like I played badly. I made all the tough laydowns when I knew I was beat and, if they were being truthful (when there wasn't a showdown), then I was beat. I saw on several occasions that I had the second or third best hand on showdowns. Two problems for me. One, I hate the place I play. Donkeys all abound, slow pace of play from the dealers, and I'm not a huge fan of 75 min 300 max. Being jobless, I can't sit with 3, I usually sit with 150. And then, I don't have any cash behind me to play more aggressively, so I play more tight than I otherwise would. The other problem is that I have to play 1-2. It's too loose of a game for me. I'd much rather sit 3-6, but I don't have 5 or 6 to sit in that game at a given time.

You can't bet somebody out of a flopped flush draw with a $20 bet into a $15 pot when they've got upwards of 250, 300 in front of them. Flopping a set, I've found, is almost useless in these games because some jackoff will chase and hit. Your only hope is to pair the board. Sure, I could bet $40 into a $15 pot, but then I'm completely pot-committed and can't get off the hand later.

There's a charity place near me that charges you $15/hour sitting fee, with a 1-2 200 max game. I watched a bit of it once when I went to play a $40 tourney and the standard raise pre-flop was anywhere from $14-20. It amazes me. Damn internet generation. I'm more of an old-school player.


Anyway, sim will be up shortly. Thanks for your patience, boys.

SJ's PP explodes, Savard makes an immediate impact, and I finally get to sim a fun shootout. All the details and Andy Rooney (for you US folk) in this savefile: http://ehechockey.com/EHEC.zip

[Bruins]

Ottawa's PP is nasty.

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Finally hit the 10-win mark after an 0-for-November start.

[Jets GM]

As predicted St. Louis busts out of his goal scoring slump with two, Steven Stamkos has a three point night and Victor Hedman is one smooth skating bastard.

[Parker]

Awesome shootout win, even though the Yotes should've had the regulation win but couldn't hold onto it. Hanzal continues to impress.

I knew I had Adrian Aucoin and Petr Prucha on the team for a reason.

[SypherSens]

Forgot to update my lines. Oh well...

[Commish Bub(NYR)]

Forgot to update my lines. Oh well...

I hope you remember on Saturday.

Working on them now...just prepare to lose.

[SharksGM]

Nice to see the win even with Greiss playing for the first time in over a month. Who needs secondary scoring when you can just roll one sweet line?

Speaking of one sweet line, I just noticed that asshole Ehrhoff put Heatley out for a week. Thanks for all of those great years, Christian .

[Bruins]

Jordan Leopold gets a hooking misconduct?
