Hand one, bound to be something like ace rag suited to counterfeit the tens. Or even QJo?

Hand two is a bit more tricky, but I will go for Q5 suited

I like your thinking. Anyone else care to hazard a guess ?

Daytime degens

C'mon Bruce you usually got a read on these type of fellas !

Does anyone else call in hand B btw  ?

call every time.
if they have 33 or 44 then i just start another stt.

Does the guy in hand b have something like ace 5 for the chop or 5 7 suited?

Hand 1 - 22
Hand 2 - KQ

Come on, don't keep us in suspense

66
2nd hand 22
Best time 0730 to 1530. Standard picks up a bit later. Becomes pretty ropy after the pubs close in UK too.

By 1615 on sunday on stars it becomes difficult. Sitting next to Liv Boeree. Ch0ppy raising my big Blind.
Just as well got position. Sunday Warm Up.
Still Championchip starting soon so hopefully I'll get an easier table.

1745 on pokerstars. Liv Boeree gets moved. I then get table move. Sitting next to Moorman1.
Think really depends on site, level, day as well as time. Though on Betfair I reckon it is weak in the morning and early afternoon.

Some interesting answers. A few on the right wavelength with the first hand, think everyone missed the obvious with the second :

Aggelosbhta2 wins 3,300.

A final one from the same 20$ D2N, be warned in advance this takes some level 4 thinking :

Level 4 thinking rules out a 2, because that would involve some form of (fairly) normal thought process.

So.....I'm going for Kc4c as he's obviously hit on the river.

I'm not sure he would raise call the flop with kc 4c, but I like some of your thought process.

Ac5c ?

I did say it was level 4

Try one last one,another 22$ game, our hero is first to act, and remember it's level 4 thinking required, so immediately rule out any hand a normal sane human being could have !! :

Kd10x

Sorry, just seen the 10 on the flop, swap it for a jack

Yes, I did say to rule out any hand he might concevieably have.

9x3d plenty of level 4 thinking on here. Its the level 5 and 6 that get you.
Thats if you can get logged on

Come on fellas, do keep up. He cannot possibly have a diamond in his hand. The answer, if you think about it is quite simple as he has called for his entire stack in a D2N, a game where the object is to avoid confrontation :


SHOWDOWN
chipfire227 shows [ 5D,5H ]
acdcpad shows [ 4S,KS ]
chipfire227 wins 2,935

D2Ns sound far too profitable and to be fair I was going to go for 93 without any diamonds with no hand but a few outers where as you say anyone with a basic understanding of D2N strategy would fold.

I cannot understand any of our heros betting when playing this back. And definitely thinking on another planet.
Will remember the name and mark as nutter in my notes if come across at my table.

That leaves one lost many, one out. You must have something else from other hands on this $22 D2N. Of course only a couple of days until 24th when BF in their wisdom have planned maintenance no doubt to cope with their massive changes on calculations on points - so I reckon may be up by Friday when I get in from work.

I've thrown away the strategy books and stopped putting people on hand ranges during daylight hours. Now I just go with my gut instinct. If their bets look wrong, its because they usually are.

The decent players mostly dont log on until 6 pm.

4.38 tuesdays

Whether you win or whether you lose, my favourite time to play is late at night, early morning, which I don't do as often as I used to. No distractions, plus I'm either pissed or my oppo's are.

Probably how the game started.

'If the bets look wrong they normally are'


Lets see how many people read that and over bet their monsters today to see Chipfire call with his third pair
