STANDARD

Um no, no it's not.

I'd post a graph to show you but I don't wanna!

[bennymacca]

to be honest roy, you played that last hand pretty horribly. the only way you were getting all of garth's chips was if he had a super monster as well, which luckily for you, he did

[madali]

Not being rude or stupid but what does standard mean. That hand was pretty sick and full house over bigger full house with a slow played pair of aces would have to be uncommon. I would not think that you or anybody else on 888pl would be folding a Garth's queens given the way that hand played out. I have heard standard a few times now and usually the hand is not played out in a standard way and it is usually when a great hand is beaten by an even better hand. Is standard a way of saying I got lucky that I got a monster and I got paid off even though I played the hand badly. If Garth moved all in on the flop would you call and would that be a standard call? Is slow playing aces standard? What hand did you put him on that to bet that much would be a standard call or even raise so you could get paid off for your full house?
Not saying you didn't have a great hand Roy and well done for getting paid off just want to know what standard means.

standard usually means that both players played the hand pretty much perfectly, and would do the same again 100% of the time. i.e aces into kings preflop - if a king hits, then the aces didn't really cop a bad beat, it is pretty much "standard" i.e it just happens, the player with the kings didn't do anything wrong.


IMHO the hand with roy and garth is pretty much the polar opposite of standard. if the money went in pre, or even on the flop, then its a different story.

I think he meant it in jest. At least, that's how I took it.

My worst was on a cash table around 3 months ago sitting on 8d 7d i saw a flop of 9d 6d 10d obviousley checked it to get action from 1 player both all in after the flop he shows Ad Kd for the turn of Qd Jd $75in the pot needless to say i was a little devistated.

Doesnt that give you a straight flush 6-Td??

Edit: Garth, those running 6s for quads /w Ace kicker makes me feel so much better about this hand
Thats got to be the worst i ever heard of... Any monitor or funiture damage?

[AJG]

i know it started off as a downswing, but now i think i have lost that "something" that was making me win before. or maybe i just had an insane run-good patch at the start, and now i am playing at my proper level.

it is making me question my game. and re-think every decision i make. which in turn makes me play worse, and then i tilt more, and its a downward spiral.

edit: this started when i put pressure on myself to try and make enough money to supplement the holiday we are having next year. could be something to do with it?

I am certainly no expert, as you all know, but i have very good emotional control. Yes the pressure regarding holiday could be impacting your play (also not wanting to lose to cut into holiday budget benny the cunt?) But personally I think what I highlighted is probably the biggest reason...
The main point of the invention of chips, was to make casino patrons 'forget' (or atleast no think so much about) it was real $$ they were gambling (and trust me they do!). I think it helps to do the same in poker in a sense. If you are playing within your BR (which I know u do benny the cunt), then forget the money, and just play....
Just keep playin your game benny the cunt...
Goals are good and maybe even neccessary, but dont let them add pressure to your playing

FWIW I do find switching between PLO and NLHE good when running bad at either though, so not just a change in format, but a new game entirely... I figure I cant keep making exactly the same mistakes if i switch to PLO (or NLHE)??

But perhaps if you figure out what that 'something' is, then that will answer your question?

Oh, and control the tilt of course... Sometimes Id sit out a few hands and take a 3 minute walk around the back yard lookin at the stars (but I don't tilt anymore )

[8d] [7d]

vs

[Ad] [Kd]

on a [9d] [6d] [Td] [Qd] [Jd] board.

I am certainly no expert, as you all know,

I'll bet!

Thank you for the clarification benny the cunt. I had thought it was some sort of insult so I do apologize Roy.
