Reply from Pokertime to query:

"Thank you for contacting the Support Desk.

I have reviewed this matter for you qith regards to your query and I can confirm that on this hand your best hand was Ace high and that is the active card on reflecting as the lit up card on your bottom right hand corner.

The remaining 4 cards that are not lit up are inconsequential as they do not form a hand. I can understand why you would say that your best had should be AJT87 but this would not matter to the software as it does not recognize the remaining cards if they do not compose your best hand.

For example if the cards did reflect as you have stated AJT87, you would still have a Ave high hand as you best hand. The software does not take into consideration that you nearly had a flush as you did not get the flush. It simply registers you best hand and disregards the rest." (my emphasis)


With respect, the remaining cards are not inconsequential at all; if we both have ace high then the next card counts, if we both have AJ high then the next card counts, etc. ]]> Screenshot Gallery Hoofie http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/screenshot-gallery/error-in-display-site-support-does-not-understand-the-rules-of-poker-23136.html <![CDATA[Guys & Dolls at Gala Leeds]]> http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/live-games/guys-and-dolls-at-gala-leeds-23135.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:04:02 GMT On Friday September 24th at 8.15 pm Gala Leeds will be holding a tournament with a difference

This will be our Guys & Dolls Charity Tournament, to raise money for Sue Ryder Care.

This will be a couples poker tournament ( one man, one woman, no same sex couples please. You don't need to be a couple in the romantic sense, just one team member male, one female)

The way it will work will be that one person will play for one level and then they will swop over and the other team member plays for the next.

The game will be a £40 freezeout with a £10 registration fee which will be donated to charity

In addition to the money raised in entries, the casino will be putting £500 into the prize money.

Plus there are £1000 worth of jewellery vouchers to be won. The vouchers are for Goldsmith's jewellers and have been very kindly donated by Caroline and Graham Manson.

The stack will be 10,000 points.

The clock will be 25 minutes.

PLEASE NOTE, OUR NORMAL FRIDAY TOURNAMENT IS NOT CANCELLED. THE CHARITY EVENT WILL RUN AT THE SAME TIME IN THE OTHER ROOM.

I hope you will be able to join us for this event. It should be a fun night and a great way to raise money for a worthwhile cause ]]> Live Games galabob http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/live-games/guys-and-dolls-at-gala-leeds-23135.html 200nl HU: My bruff gets there on the river, but... http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/ring-games/200nl-hu-my-bruff-gets-there-on-the-river-but-23134.html Wed, 08 Sep 2010 11:09:58 GMT Im 2 tabling villian.

Hes a big winner over a small sample (scandi) started off 2 tbling and like most thes matches he started off super aggro c/r alot and barrelling and is up a couple of stacks.

Hes a massive station though. He called me down with AQ as PF 3bettor on 3887 J vs my QJ after flop went c/c i bet turn and overbet river when i got there.

Onto the hand in question, i c/r flop because its adecent board to do so and hes c/betting too much and i cant call profitably since he barrels so light. Turn is reasonable card to continue but is river a jam? or a c/f? c/c doesnt seem so good.

When he pots the river my first instinct is too call because I think it's unlikely he checks back a Q/set/trips on the turn and it seems he is more likely to have a draw. Is this thought process okay? or should I just fold because fish do dumb things?

*** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Team Anomie [Kd 5s]

Just want to see what people think of this hand & if it was a good play, bad play, or somewhere in the middle.

As context: - We've been playing fourhanded for at least 20+hands with little real movement standings-wise. The BB however lost a coinflip the previous hand to the SB, making him the shortstack.
- The bigstack has shown little to no interest in pressuring the table & in turn vacuuming up the chips, instead content to just sit on his arse.
- The SB was pretty much uber tight, getting below 600 chips at one point, refusing to open raise with 'a hand' & was just blinding away until his coinflip double up
- I've been pretty much card dead the whole game but having been trying to steal blinds at pretty much every opportunity & especially pressuring the SB before his double up. The BB staying healthy by occasionally 3betting me. Basically, I've been doing the work

Back to this hand, I obviously lose, or I wouldn't be posting it, but I open shoved the button after the bigstack folded. My reasoning being that I can't let the BB have a walk to get free blinds cos I'm certain that SB isn't gonna pressure him. Seeing as a raise is about half my stack & I'd be pot commited anyway to any reraise, I figured the shove was better play (I normally raise for 2.5 big blinds).

A lot of info I know, but just want to know if my thinking is good, even if the result wasn't. (Big blind called with J5 offsuit & I busted 3 hands later, if you're interested) ]]> Euthanasia http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/sngs/bubble-push-decision-23126.html 2 pair facing river shove http://www.eatmystack.co.uk/forum/ring-games/2-pair-facing-river-shove-23125.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 13:43:08 GMT Villain is unknown but likely to be a fish running at 57/8/7 over a small sample.

I check the river to give missed spades or worse aces a chance to bet but when he shoves it makes life difficult. We need to be good 40% or so of the time to call, so, whats your move?

I don't think he's the type to get out of line, so I think he has overpairs and sets a lot of the time and maybe a few strong draws.

My worry is that if he does have sets or overpairs, if we just call and hit, its going to be difficult to get the money in, whereas if we raise/get it in, we're likely to be a dog to most of his range.

Obviously folding isn't an option, so I'm just wondering what the best line is against this type of villain with this type of hand.
