I could never get away with these types of calls in the old school FT 5/10 games. Actually I just wouldn't ever even have the opportunity. There seems to be a trend nowadays of devolution into the type of aggressive player who doesn't seek to represent a hand, or tell a story with a bluff, but merely shoves it in at whim and prays for a fold. Pray harder sir, pray harder.

I should probably have been up against a huge draw. Pretty sick lack of re-raise pf, and then that draw heavy flop, and the check raise opportunity as Paul has the WORST position initially, but the BEST position once the short stack's C-bet goes through me. Bob Ciaffone talks about this phenomenon at length, apparently I need to reread that excerpt. Saw so much AA vs KK action tonight. At one table it happened in back to back hands, with myself having KK in the second confrontation. NEAT. Paul Wolfe, the FT pro that won this pot, is a super nice guy and loaned me some cab fare (actually he just commented on the hard core cooler).

Jamie, this is why you don't slow play, its just too hard to fold monster hands, and often you're missing a chance to get it in as a huge favorite. I was a bit shocked to see my opponents hand (suited clubs aspect). Pretty amazing check behind. Hated his river bet, I sort of assumed I'd be beat a large % of the time... I definitely played this hand terribly on about 3398723487 levels. I'll just lead with a nasty BET POT next time...

Excerpt from my paper on Survivorship and Randomness
Feedback Welcomed
My own personal experiences with survivorship are the primary cause of my interest in this topic. Beginning about halfway through my sophomore year of undergraduate study I took up the habit of participating in a five nights a week poker game with a group of other students at the University of Kansas. This group was maintained by a core membership of about ten individuals, with perhaps twenty or more others frequenting the game on a whim or only on a few occasions. Thinking back, the vicissitudes of random luck on certain individuals caused them to disappear forever, while other less skilled or intelligent players, are still playing to this day. Those with the initial luck sufficient to keep them playing soon gained the necessary experience and skills to become long term break even players, or even winners vs. weaker competition than my group of poker savants. An appraisal of the group four years later gives us a very dynamic and bizarre set of results with regard to poker success among the group‘s members, many of whom I am still cordial with. The earliest winner in the game, a player I will call Jeff, had a great deal of natural brilliance and aggression in his early style. Jeff won a tremendous amount of money ($30k+) from a start of perhaps $50. After this initial run, Jeff experienced numerous “blowups” where he would put his entire bankroll into a game, start to experience poor luck, start playing terribly, and subsequently lose everything he had won. Another of the early leaders, a player referred to here as Stephen, played very well compared to the group initially, showing advanced reasoning skills and the ability to go with his instincts. However, later on Stephen experienced numerous shocks to his confidence and was unable to continue winning, becoming a long term break-even player who never advanced to fulfill his, in my opinion, considerable potential. Another player, whom I will call Brett, was one of the biggest losers in the game initially, the other players would prompt a friend of his to invite him to the regular game to donate money (only a $20 or $40 buy-in early on, growing to $100 or $200 later). This went on for some time, but eventually things clicked and Brett began to win occasionally, always improving versus the field. Through the years Brett has become one of the most successful poker players any of the group have ever met, winning hundreds of thousands of dollars playing professionally on the internet. Many other players with medium level skills from this group have done well, and even more who seemed promising have experienced poor results and given up the game except as an occasional hobby. I personally have experienced both great success and huge blowups, my saving grace the fact that I have always taken money while winning and put it into a savings account or the stock market, convinced that the role of luck in the game was huge and that the extent of my results might only be the result of a prolonged lucky streak. As my experience has grown I realize that at some points the difference between success and failure was truly a coin flip.
The implications of my observations, while not at all scholarly or scientific, do have the advantage of being the result of first hand and highly detailed experience. Everything I witnessed in this game in which results come from mostly short term variance, combined with the necessity for basic math skills, intuition, emotional self control, fearlessness in the face of intimidating sums of money, and constant adaptation, lead me to believe that long term success was highly possible with the correct money management and determination. I was always told poker was unbeatable, like any zero sum or worse (when considering the money raked out of every pot by the house). This common knowledge was simply wrong. Yet I realized that in any individual, the ability to see odds clearly and make probabilistically correct decisions was an incredibly rare ability, especially in newcomers. Those who were successful in the game short term had basic technical poker skills the group as a whole lacked, however as we all gained those skills through practice and emulation, the long term winners emerged. Those long term winners, I call them survivors, had traits incredibly similar to the traits of surviving farmers, or of money managers with extremely long survival rates. Anyone can do well in the short term due to luck or random factors, but true success requires acceptance and expectation of the black swan event that will surely befall us all one day. For poker, all successful players have a fallback plan in case of losing their playing bankroll. They even have contingencies to make such a loss almost an inevitability, such as moving down in game size, or setting loss limits for a certain time period. As we have seen, the other risk filled environments have similar requirements for survivorship. Whether it be a particularly vicious flood that sweeps all but the field planted at the highest elevation away; or the utter and complete economic collapse of a particular country causing a market panic and a portfolio shattered into huge losses except for that one risk hedging short position which balances out a large percentage of the loss. (As an aside, my penchant for risk assessment and management has led me to consider a career in stock trading, or short term investing. However the more I read on the subject, the more I see the skills I gained from poker are merely an entrance ticket, and short term luck in this field is just as high a factor as that in poker. Truly verifiable results might take years or even decades to be revealed.)

The Big Game
Shanda ER Tonight! General bearish conditions and underperforming Chinese stocks have crushed Shanda down 20% or so. Pretty painful considering I rebought all the shares I had sold at $40 when the pps got back down to $36. I really had no idea when the conference call would be, but this is much later than I expected. Well, I changed my Ameritrade account to margin capable and now I have over 7000 shares. 7000 is the most I've ever held into a conference call. Many would say it is reckless gambling. Maybe they are right. However, I have confidence in the managment, and the chart looks strong. Many institutional market genius types have been buying in bulk. Chen gives an interview on CNN Money tomorrow. I suppose you could say I believe the stars have aligned for Shanda to move up over $5 tomorrow. What a rollercoaster!

Luck > Skill @ 50/100
So a bit of an into here, I'm rambling pretty high as I'm disgusted at the stock market and want to make some money back. I was being intelligent about it, sat at two 50/100 tables with a shortstack idiot, who I won a bit from. But the games fill and before I quit this hand occurs. I realize this is a bad flop for me, and lead-calling an all in is trouble as I really only beat AQ and Iva seems to be quite good(probably doesnt have AQ). I figure hes likely to put me on AK if I check and perhaps bet JJ or his own AK, so I check, intending to most likely move in if he bets. Well he checks and I turn top set, wow. I have to lead because the board is increasingly likely to have a 4 card straight on the river and the pot is already large, but I'm going to chump bet in case he has a marginal hand and he might put it in putting me on air due to my flop check. Wow he moves in and I call, thankfully he doesnt have a bizarre hand for a straight, but a set of Queens! Heck of a flop check by him LOL.

Stock markets killing me, lets play some poker
So a little history here; I have found the HU play on UB to be simply atrocious. If only the site wasnt connected to AbsolutelyRigged poker I would be playing there full time, as it is FTP has my business currently, even though the games arent quite as good. Its sortof funny though, I sometimes do better against the higher caliber players, as I know how theyre playing and they have no idea about me b/c I switch the gears alot (Thanks Sammy!).
So back to the hand at issue, this crazy ass had been potting it to $75 every single button and calling my reraises to $300 every hand, with as light as QJ (vs my TT he hits a J and a idioticly value bet the river when he checks behind every street till then). So, I'm down about $1500. Hes running me over, reraising 1/3 of my button raises. So he has a hand but not too often will he have QQ, KK, or AA. I am about 90% confident my JJ is good here before the river, due to his turn check, and at the river he has to have A9 or have flopped a set of 7s to have me beat. A9 I believe he would have lead the turn or check raised since the pot was so big, so unless he was making an awful turn call with AK high, Im only losing to 77744. His terrible turn play allows me to get full value from my hand, and hes not even sure what hes doing on the river, and neither am I, but I know I have the best hand, easy call.
