Got my poker mojo back.....

Why you raise all in on the turn to a guy not respecting you by retaking the betting lead on the turn when he is oop? Semi tank, Call, and let him fire off into oblivion on the river. Only card he wouldn't bet again on is a 4th heart if I had to guess but sometimes he has the a or k of hearts where he does anyways. Also if a 7 or probably 2 peels off he will give you his money regardless, maybe even any other board pairing card if he is an aggressive bluffer. Poor play on your part imo unless you want to argue balancing your turn shove or something. Depending on stack sizes he may also call a large bet/shove on river as he beats all over pairs and could level himself into a "he only has the a of hearts" type thinking.

it all worked out fine, there was no poor play. i won the hand.
he was trying to bet me out and any raise i made would have been his fold. all i had 2 do was wait, and i did, and he tried and i called him out.

My other good Vegas story is WSOP related. Not the big summer tourney but Planet Hollywood ran a WSOP series cuppla years ago when I was there for my normal Venetian Deepstacks series. Played the Main event, I was just in the money and lost a huge pot, blinds were 3000/6000 and I was left with 8000 chips. Literally doubled up 4 hands in a row, eventually ran it back up to a 500k stack, and placed 11th for 9 grand and change. Would have been cool to make the FT, first place was $106k. So near and yet so far......
 
Computer driven algorithmic solvers. Basically as with any game there is a decision tree. If this occurs do that which cascades as more variables are introduced. The refinement has been massive. There are ph.d comp sci/physicists who have taken over the academic side of the game and driven it to where certain versions of it are essentially solved.

Live will always be a little different as you play less resulting in more 'incorrect' plays due to boredom or even if you are playing optimally, your decision tree has to be expanded to account this boredom variable, and human physiology betrays people.

I don't think it's just that. In 2007 you had thousands of people playing online just clicking buttons with no idea, losing their shit every time they had Ace rag. In a 10 day spree i won $9k, $19k and a trip to Sydney. Be good to have those dsys back

PLAYING ONLINE POKER IN THE UAE
So needless to say, when you can spend a year in jail for downloading online poker software, this is serious to say the least, and players may want to take that into account when they decide if they want to play online poker or not when in the UAE, whether living there or just visiting.

The UAE is said to have the most comprehensive “cyber crime” laws in the world, and among other things, this covers the transmission of gambling information, and playing online poker is clearly seen as falling within this definition, as evidenced by these 4 who were thrown in jail for attempting to play online.

Having said that though, it’s not that easy to catch people doing this, and in the case of this conviction the parties were in the business of organizing both live and online poker matches in the city, which is likely how they got caught, as the word no doubt spread to the wrong people, who then moved in on them.

what are your thoughts on this one?
