Re:UB UBOC event 5...not starting? hey, you're a red pro there right' can you tell management that it's completely shady to delay the start of the tourney unannounced, AND not allow unregistration. Posted in: Poker Discussion	bukithepro Jan 11th, 2009
Re:Help with tough spot: JJ preflop in 20r on FTP so there's like 27k in the middle, villain has 67k behind. what's his calling range if you shove' top 10%' 15%' what's he opening with' top 20%' top 30%' so how often is he calling your reshove' 1/2' 1/3' 1/4' when you're called you're not in great shape obv... and the specific #s depend greatly on your read of his raise/call ranges, and what your perceived range will be when you shove... again, in a vacuum, with only the given info, i shove. buk Posted in: Poker Discussion	bukithepro Dec 31st, 2008

Re:staking, + or - EV? it's just like investing in the stock market... you need to diversify.... you need a solid backbone of bluechips, but you need to mix in some smaller wagers with big odds. read up on investing fundamentals, like sharpe ratio, etc...

Re:Thoughts on a hand from $150 rebuy( 80k gur) .................... ^^^^this i'm pretty sure villain knows hero doesnt have a flush villain could be shoving river with... flopped set or AK w A-diamonds... if you're gonna bet the river, it should be with full intent of calling checking behind on the river isn't terrible, whether u hit your set or not.

Re:JohnnyGstacks owns me.... is your goal to win the tournament or to maximize your $ev' your goal leads to very different approaches in the late stages. do the ICM math. i'd bet money that a fold is correct depending on johnny's calling range if you're trying to maximize $ev. people attach way too much meaning to the 'win' IMHO... poker's about maximizing $ev, no' Posted in: Poker Discussion	bukithepro Sep 29th, 2008

Re:to c-bet or not i raised pre cuz he limp-folds often enough here. i do limp behind VERY often with sm-med pairs hoping no one raises behind me... but this wasn't the spot to do that. i raised an amount pre where... if he called with a pair, it's not 22-66. when he calls, his most likely range is... 88-JJ IMHO. he checked the flop VERY quickly; i would've c-bet normally, but it didnt feel right. turn... he thought for a sec, and checked... nothing had changed from my view. river.... he checked quickly again.... felt like he was calling at MINIMUM... possibly reshoving. so i checked again to ...

Re:Is Poker -EV in the long run for most people? if you're working from home, you should have an office that is purely your workspace... no matter your chosen profession. especially if you have kids. Posted in: Poker Discussion	bukithepro Sep 17th, 2008
Re:Is Poker -EV in the long run for most people? maybe i see things differently because... it's taken a lot of work and dedication to get where i am... i am lazy in general, but i am the opposite of lazy in regards to poker. i study hard, i don't mind long sessions when i put them in, i play with intense focus. just cuz i do it in pajamas and only play when i feel like it... i mean, it's -ev to play when you're not up to it... and i think my kids would appreciate the fact that i'm good enough at what i do, that i can just take an afternoon off to go watch my son's little league game or my daughter's recital... ...

Re:Is Poker -EV in the long run for most people? my priorities don't include doing 'noble' work, tbh... i want to be happy... and to be happy, i need: -certain level of living -freedom to pursue what i'm passionate about. i'd be proud to live in a house that poker built. just as proud, as say i was a tennis pro (i used to be a coaching pro) and built a house with that money. the model of 'success' that this society impresses upon us since childhood, in my opinion, is outdated.... house in suburbia, 2 kids, white picket fence, good stable job, trophy wife... that's so 20th century isn't it' to say ...

Re:What is the LOWEST salary you would accept to be a professional poker player? without a pretty big real-life roll, it's tough to go pro on your own. until you do have that $$ in the bank... backing is the way to go, IMO. u give up ev obviously but... you don't have downswings. you have breakeven streaks at worst. even still: you probably don't want to rely on poker for money til you die... so you gotta earn enough now, that you can invest/start a business... so an honest answer is, i'd need to earn at least 20-30k more per year than what i need to live comfortably.... 2-3k/mo covers my expenses including insurance and herbals, so... 50-60k mininmum, ...

Re:Finally Coming Clean you're right about one thing... it's gonna take a lot, just because you already apologized insincerely in the past... i hope you mean what you say, and follow up your words with actions... otherwise, you'll be known as a joke for the rest of your life. you don't get an infinite number of chances to prove your sincerity. good luck.

Re:1k hand however, since all the top players who've responded so far say reraise... there must be something wrong with my reasoning' Posted in: Poker Discussion	bukithepro Sep 15th, 2008
Re:1k hand i call turn wanting more value on the river. if i repop his c/r on turn i'm announcing i have a set 100%... allows villain to play perfectly vs my range.... bad. if he checks river i obv bet since he bet sizeable amount on river, that's plenty value for the strength of my hand vs his range; considering, any bet on the river is EXTRA value i'm getting relative to taking the pot away on the turn. if i reraise on the river, it allows him to play perfectly vs my range (once again), which includes rebluff shoving just often enough that i have to call every time; and vs his reshoving ...

Re:An open debate/discussion on multiaccounting even without colluding, a good player who enters twice into the same tourney where everyone else can only enter once... is gaining ev at the expense of others. Posted in: Poker Discussion	bukithepro Sep 15th, 2008
Re:An open debate/discussion on multiaccounting (solution coming soon) wow...i just read this whole thread. couple things. Adam hit the nail on the head a few posts back. and the guy with the rafflle analogy had the best analogy. the ethics... jeeeesus... when a player signs up to play at a poker site, he agrees to the terms and conditions. a new player joins, and expects that everyone's playing by the same rules. 'one entry per person per tournament' being one of those rules. when a top player multiaccounts, he does so because he believes it adds ev (why else'). where does that extra ev come from' it comes from the players who don't ...

Re:1k hand i put him on 2pr or better. villain just bet 2100; it's 25/50 with 15k stacks. if i raise river, what hand i beat will call me' against his range, bottom set is middling IMO. so i just called; he flipped over AA88. after just calling, i made a comment about 'i'm such a nit' (which is ok, because i'm far from one)... and villain said, 'i wouldn't have put another chip in the pot' ... not 100% sure he folds to a min raise... but balancing the frequency he calls with a worse hand, with the frequency he reraises with a better hand... i think it's barely +ev to ...

Re:It's that time for guarantees on UB...Need your help :-( annie, someone else mentioned this earlier, but i do believe that the schedule is way too much weighted towards the west coast players. i live in colorado, play 6-8 hours a day everyday, 1pm-9pm est. the only big tourney you have right now during that time is the 33r 10k... to be quite honest, and with all due respect, i hate the current tourney schedule, i thought it was a lot better before you changed them a couple months ago.... there used to be 65 3.5k, 109 10k, etc during the daytime, and i used to crush those... now there's one tourney i can play during my 8 hour schedule' thats ...
