TSP Poker Club

Sort by newest Sort by date
some general poker things first, then specific stuff. over time, everybody will get the same distribution of good cards and bad cards. yes, it hurts when you get sucked out on the river, but you suck out too sometimes, it comes around and goes around. if you are depending on good cards to win, then you are expecting the odds and fate to ignore probability and favor you? so if the cards don't matter in the long run, then what does? well, there's shuck and jive, mathematical likelihood of getting a hit, timing, distraction, aggression, pot odds, perception and reads, if you tap your leg once and stroke your face twice, and a bunch of other stuff, whatever brings you mojo. there's many ways to skin a cat but those things are all dynamic, they change, in a heartbeat sometimes. as soon as you learn something, somebody else probably noticed that you learned it and got lessons of their own, it is fluid.

here is my take on the players in the tsptalk poker club:

tsptalk: by far, hands down, the best player. most accurate, calculated, disciplined, smart taker, and best "gambler" on the block. except he rarely gambles. be careful here.

kuz: a close second, willing to play, knows position and aggression and bluff, knows the math, does not hesitate, a closet killer, been through a rough stretch lately but it all evens out in the end.

gator: hold 'em is probably not his first game of choice, but he knows the game, knows the math, works timing, and never gets mad when variance cheats him (it cheats us all). a ringer. in omaha or seven stud he prolly wax all of us, sharp multi-dimensional thinker. dangerous.

winter: learns fast, growing balls like a 14 year old boy. totally outside her nature but she's embraced it, watch out. she's a human spreadsheet and has learned aggression, learned to let go of fear, future killer.

gata: somewhat random, but the variance is an asset sometimes, lack of patience, but that's part of her threat, you never know. plus she's learning about bet sizes and how to push folks around, get them out when she doesn't want to let them in to draw cheap. a big step forward.

fog: fog my friend, i will golf or drink or play cards with you any day, preferably all three. i know this is not a pursuit that consumes you or draws your commitment, but you always have fun and enjoy the game. when you do commit to whatever it is that drives you, and i'm sure you have several priorities, i do not want to be on the wrong side of that dime.

evil: i don't know enough to say, yet. but keep playing, please. sometimes you show informed brilliance, and sometimes you are meat. you add a lot to the game.

fyre: been a long time homes, come back shane. we are never gonna play congress here, but you got some skills.

me? yeah, well ain't that a hoot? i'm a grizzly, the pot is my cub, and y'all between us. roar! else i'll die trying. balls out. poker is a volume business, ninety nine baby, on the grind baby, all the time baby.

come git some, hit it.

 
Stu, So The Cuda has been out a few weeks.....How soon they forget...not even a mention??? :(.

Did you forget the Cuda's win last season?? I know, I know...its painful!! The sharp teeth and cold beady eyes! :rolleyes:

But don't cry for me, I'll be back soon to refresh your memory!!

P.S. The Cuda knows your a good player but you gotta realize, when the Cuda comes back she is going to want to devour and get even this season and if not, there's always next season!! :D
 
He prolly left you out on purpose, berry, just another way to put you on tilt, make you think your win last season wasn't memorable, which it most certainly WASSSS! Keep those teeth sharp there, big lil 'cuda. Just aim them at that big fish over there, ignore this little fish over here. :D
 
Yeah this season has been pretty non enjoyable. 1 Game I had to be gone by 9, so I fully intended to play risky, and lose; but all the other ones, its been a be lack of focus and patience. In late December I started the habit of multitasking while we poker. Whether its youtube videos, streamers, or TV. That's why I haven't been very talkative lately.

It just goes to show you how big of an impact patience and focus can have on your game.
 
Oh and Stu.... this might just blow your mind....

https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Poker

Literally people getting paid, to play poker and let people watch them. I just found out about this website in december... been watching some professional matches on other games. Haven't actually watched poker, but figured that might be up your alley
 
Go back to what you had tried, Right click in the chart area until you get an option of "Select Data..." and click on it.

Then click "Switch Row/Column"

And you should get what I got.

If its an XY plot, you can also reverse the order of the X-Values in the 'Axis Options' of the X-Axis. Or you can just manually change the data so it goes from 9th place to 1st place, instead of 1st to 9th.
 
no prob berry, i like sharp teeth and cold beady eyes, reminds me of being married. i bet you would be great wrapped in tinfoil with a little garlic and lemon. i just figured you was busy singing karaoke so i left you alone. hellcats require a quick and sure touch, come git some.

Oh Stu.... Forget the lemon and garlic .... As we say in Texas hot salsa is mucho better!! But hey... I don't want to ruin my appetite! Going to have a little R&R this week and have my teeth sharpened. I'll be waiting for you at the poker table.... licking my chops already!!! :D Beware Stewwy... the Cuda will be making you wish you were in the "loving" arms of your ex! :laugh:

just so you know dba, i've never sat down at just a poker table, instead i always come to play on skull island, every time. there are monsters.

 
congratulations on a hard fought game between berry and attitude at the end, and nice score tom, you consistently place way outside the average in first places. all around a great bunch of folks to get together with and chat and play.

you see if you got 3 or 4 pals, then you got yourself a tribe.

pals.

 
Hi Burro. Thanks... it was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing tonight after being out for so long. Everyone in the TSP poker club are fun people and very fun to play with. Really great folks... everyone of you.


Please remember that if the "Cuda" didn't chomp on you, that would be a bad thing!!! Cuda only chomps what she likes!!!! :D

kuz, i think there is a ko issue with last game? wasn't it berry that took me out, not gata?

i remember going all in with 4-5-clubs with a 6-7-clubs 10 offsuit board against an A-8-clubs berry hand and didn't hit my straight or catch a pair?

or did i have some change left and gata took it next hand?
