Thread: TSP Poker Club

    ok, i have figured some things out about internet poker.

    they have these 'spin and go' tourneys where there is only 3 folks at the table and you get a short stack and it accelerates rapidly and the base prize is only 2/3 of the total buyin. so where does the other 1/3 go? it goes to the vanna white wheel of fortune part where they spin the dial but it is really just a rigged random number generator that usually lands on 2/3 the total buyin but sometimes might hit a 'brand new car'. i always like the suspense of the spinning wheel thing, and also i liked vanna white, it is not my fault you shed your top for playboy before they quit showing nudes honey, thanks.

    anyways, these tourneys are soft and usually one jerkwad will suicide early and the other jerkwad can be pushed around like a slow kid on the short bus. so i have used these to take my stake into the solid 6 figures in a matter of a couple hours. and then used that to play the 5k play money buyin multi-tourneys which are almost as soft as the 1k multi-tourneys. now i am doing the scrooge mcduck thing with lots of free play money chips.

    but i haven't won a brand new car, yet.

    also, thanks to usercue we have a new voice of tsp poker club: https://www.ivona.com/

    check it out sometime, salli is great for american engrish, but amy has this sexy husky hungry woman voice and she will say anything you want her to. how cool is that on valentine's day?

    two of my personal favorites are:

    burrocrat is a poker ninja and you should just spare yourself the trouble and give him all your chips now.
    oohhh, yes, oh yes! oh burro, oohhhh, yes!
    good luck at the tables.

    some more thoughts on those hyper 3-person spin and go tourneys:

    1, you only have chips for about 6 or 8 sleeper hands, after that it is go time
    2, these games will teach you just how often you can expect an ace rag to river your pocket queens (hint, a lot, but less than half)
    3, try not to break stuff when you get rivered, it happens, a lot
    4, some folks are just plain stupid
    5, silverback is perfectly acceptable here, in fact expected
    6, ram and jam, all hot, all the time

    there is gold in these thar hills.

    the shortest one i played was 3 hands. 1 let the first donk kill the other, 2 take down the new big donk with AA that didn't get cracked, 3 kill old new big donk with big slick that held up. thanks, +60k. electric. alive.

    more random shorthanded or heads up tips:

    you have to train your opponents to never ever enter a pot until they are ready to bet it all, to lose their nuts.

    some of them learn fast, some of them learn slow, but they all learn eventually. meanwhile you bleed off their timid calls and bluffs.

    one of these days i am going to win that brand new car.

    tsp poker club tournament starts tonight in about 20 minutes (late registration for another 10 minutes after that), but be careful out there today, the site is chock full of freaks and lonely hearts.

    i had the distinct and unusual experience of playing a round of cards today with a gal who named herself 'double_dd_mimi'. at least i think it was a gal, and obviously very comfortable moving big stacks around. we both went out at the same time to a monster stack but i had more chips going in so i got second and mimi got third place. that was an interesting game.
