I wouldnt have done it online lets put it that way. Felt like playing it, and raising would have got everyone calling (trust me, that was what this table was like, incredibly loose) - in that scenario how is it a better play? Also, surely my hand will play better in a multi-way situation rather than heads-up? Especially knowing that people will call a raise with an extremely wide range of hands. I cant put anyone on a big hand just because they have called the raise...

Well you could have done with telling us about how loose the table was. The point of raising, anyway, is so that people give you credit for the hand there, giving you the power of the continuation bet. Even so, in either online or live play, it's usually best to play in the opposite style to your opponents, so I'd be throwing away hands that aren't at least one gappers there. Honestly, the chances of you hitting a hand that won't get you in trouble against a random hand is very, very slim, and so against loose opponents, surely the best play there is to release and save yourself the chips.

Just because you made a straight there, doesn't mean you made the right play limping the pot with such a 'trash' hand.

You are right by the book, but who hasn't played 8-4 occassionally like that? Don't judge me!

:cry:

I don't think I have played 84 in my life unless heads up or if no money was involved, let alone limped it.

DML are you wanting to do a pokerstars $10NL session today?

Prepare to be blown away by death-defying* poker!!

I'll be watching this too. Should be interesting...

Does anyone know how to record HH of observed hands at pokerstars?

Or same at Full tilt? The only way I will be staking at all is if I can track all hands by watching.

You can't on Stars, it's against the TOS and the program limits the amount that it records, something like 30 per session. On FT it's just a case of pointing your program at whichever folder the observed hand histories are dumped in. Apologies but I can't remember which one that is.

Can you not use that Remote Desktop viewer for DML's session?

If I make a cash deal I am not wanting to have to manually check his progress, it would be a waste of my time. If I am able to observe him play and have HEM do it for me then it's no problem.

Ah, I thought you just meant for tonight's session. Maybe just get him to email you the relevant HH's?

This means he can just remove hands where he wins big and take 100% of profit from them. I know it's highly unlikely he would but I am not prepared to stake someone unless I can see 100% of their hands. We are probs doing SnG now as I can track with sharkscope.

Also:

lol at call. This guy is a bet pot machine. Literally only knew where the pot button was. Just waited for a big one.

This guy was mental. Gave me 3 buyins. This hand was funny though. I really thought for a second I was getting owned.

Playing in a couple of minutes. Just sorting out Camstasia.

Camstasia just caused Pokerstars to crash completely out, so I'm not going to be able to record this. Please can someone watch my games, so everyone knows Im not screwing Rex over here.

And now a set into a FH. FFS. Can someone please watch me! I cannot record! Repeat I cannot record!

We are watching. You had trips into a FH, not a set. Little unlucky really. Here it is for the benefit of others:

I did however find the following a bit iffy.

Ben says (23:08):
DML has made the flush
PsychicSykes says (23:09):
awwwww
Ben says (23:09):
WHAT DID I TELL YOU
PsychicSykes says (23:09):
That is horrible
Ben says (23:09):
SICK READ CENTRAL
PsychicSykes says (23:09):
Great read
PsychicSykes says (23:09):
But that is dire
PsychicSykes says (23:09):
HE DIDN'T EVEN GET strawberry floating PAID

Couldnt work out if someone had the higher flush, and there was a possible FH out as well. I wasnt anywhere near the nuts, but I got a decent pay-day.

Fold the flop. And you didn't get paid at all, you are drawing against the odds there to make your flush and need to get a lot of chips when you do hit in order to not make it a losing proposition over the long run.

Another hand. Not a fan I'm afraid DML.
