60 games + a new friend
sharkscope is telling me i played 60 games today but another program i use to keep track of my games played told me 61. we’ll just say 60 for now, bringing my total to 561 for the month.
in other news, i made a new friend tonight. on many of my tables tonight was a player by the name of ’skeemer1.’ from what i gathered by his play tonight, he doesn’t like folding to me. to my knowledge, he and i had no history together before tonight so i’m not sure what i did to get on his radar. here’s a pretty terrible call he made on one of my tables:

i could be wrong, but that seems like a horrible spot for him to take a race, especially when there are 40 combinations of hands (all pairs bigger than 44) that have him crushed. i think i can actually shove lighter than AKo here now that i know what he’s capable of raising utg (for the non-poker readers, utg is ‘under the gun,’ meaning he’s the very first player to act before the flop)
this next hand is a VERY rare play for me. i’m actually trapping him with a very mediocre hand here, because i know what he’s capable of.

so there ya have it. 60 games and a new friend.
The 2nd one is really not that mediocre of a hand considering he’s always – and I mean ALWAYS – shoving on a high blind limp bvb. Good play and not really that close.
The AKo hand can only really be wrong for him if he’s not almost completely certain you’re jamming AK here. I mean, other than the option of disguising your big hands from now on by straight jamming his raises, maybe just reraise big w/ AK against him? Sure it’s a ton of chips and I’m not denying that he’s a spew artist to the 10th degree – he probably just figured you for AK (since there’s no way he hasn’t seen you at least a few times before this) and decided to either A) send a message or B) didn’t realize how little equity he gains from taking this race.
He’s a dope. Love his sharkscope, too. Keep up your heater, MoogieBump.
He seems to very pretty well for himself, especially at MTTs so he must have some reason for playing the 44 the way he did. Fatty – what is wrong with his sharkscope? Looks to me like he has steady profit from everything except HU, unless I am missing something?
