it's a good call. you not knowing that explains everything we need to know about you.

Why don't you educate us?

This should be good... (by the way, I don't expect you to reply as this call is indefensible)

Id call against that spewtard too. And yes, we still think gravy is good. Also, apparently my computer isnt loading the pic of your graph. Could you please reload it so we can check it out?

stalker doesn't track his results, his account balance speaks for itself. And if stalkers says that gravy made a bad call here, then it was a bad call. Trust him, he is deep in almost every tournament he plays. I wonder how long it takes you guys to get this...

#1 Stalker said...

thanks man

I still haven't heard anyone explain why this was a "good call"...I'm always looking for a good laugh.

TICK TOCK

Stalker, is your sarcasm detector broke? It is sooooo funny to watch you get clowned on all the time and not even realize it.

As for Gravys call, it was probably a misclick or just a standard spite call. Octavian C is a pos. Maybe you should start playing big sngs cause you would get spite called all the time, as everyone either hates you or knows you are retarded. Oh, I forgot, you only have enough money in your account to rail.

Octavian_C is shoving 100% here and has 5 bbs from the sb. Against a 100% range it's prob not too bad of a call but mainly make calls like this too prevent him from shoving any2 in the future. Now if he shoves 85% here I make alot of money in the future. If you don't make calls like this your game becomes exploited at this level. It's called metagame.

I like how you hate him yet you rail him lol. I bet you're trying to pick up some moves. As to why it was a good call and why you have no clue you got your answer already. You are such an idiot

Shannon Shorr said...

he only had to win 40.4% of the time to break even. if it was a mistake, it was a minor one, I think that is pretty clear to everyone but stalker

#1 Stalker said...

- sarcasm detector not broken, but I guess yours is...in a serious way

- Spacegravy, if you can justify that call in the way you just did, then please stop calling others a fish if they make exactly the same play. The "to stop people making the same play in the future" is a bit thin...would it stop you?

- I did not rail Spacegravy (why would I?)...the hand history was posted on his blog and I grabbed it before it got deleted (because Spacegravy doesn't want horrible calls like this advertised)...now go away loser

- "he only had to win 40.4% of the time to break even"...which means he loses a LOT of money in the future making this call...thanks for backing up my point

I loooove ROASTING you retards!!!!

You obviously dont play any sit n goes and if you do your roi is negative if you say this was a bad call. It's not a call that you make every single time obviously and spacegravy definitely doesn't make every time (that's why he's up 200K after all) BUT its a call you should make once in a while when there's 3 players left and noone has more than 10BB's. If you never make a call like this and wait for "big" hands while you have 9 BB's you will not win any money. Simple as that. If you cant understand this then i suggest you never to try sit n goes. You will lose big time.

#1 Stalker said...

There's a difference between "big hands" and "hands that have a reasonable chance to win". Choosing 8-high to make a stand with is just awful. You have to be almost certain of not having the best hand, and are simply too likely to be dominated. If half his stack was in the blind then you're forced to...here you are not. The "hero calls", although good for TV which is where you no-doubt gained your poker "knowledge", are just stupid.

It's a shame you didn't post your screen name because I'd certainly take time to find you and lighten your wallet.

All rightyyyyy then.All you just said is correct... for MTT's. Unfortunatelly not for sng's. By the time you get the quality hand you'll be blinded out 75% of the time which means you'll lose a lot of money. By the way when you give me your screenname i'll give you mine and if you're a regular at 60's which i doubt you played me many time but you didn't lighten my wallet thats for sure. there i gave you hints.

Shannon Shorr said...

again, the call was a minor mistake at worst. certianly not worth this stupid post and responses by you stalker

#1 Stalker said...

"By the time you get the quality hand you'll be blinded out 75% of the time which means you'll lose a lot of money."

Haha...I just saw this. I'd certainly PUSH 86 in this situation...but it is so terrible to CALL with it, I think the above post must have been a joke. It has to be.

you obviously didn't understand what i said. Yes it isn't a good call i never said it was. BUT when you play in the 100's and above and you play 1000 games a week like spacegravy does you obviously play against the same people a lot you have to make a call like that 20 to 30 times in 1000 games to make people not shove on your BB all the time. Obviously you'll never get it so yes very bad call he obviously sucks.

#1 Stalker said...

you obviously don't understand how to play poker

Anonymous said...

i guess i don't.Whatever you say crazy boy

#1 Stalker said...

good to see you finally admitted your mistake

Anonymous said...

step 1: buy a sng/icm program
step 2: plug this hand in and set octavian's range to 100%
step 3: realize this was a good call and stfu.

Anonymous said...

no way octavian_c is shoving 100% into spacegravy, who he knows is calling wide.

Anonymous said...

you dont know who Octavian c is right? thats the only reason you'd say he's not shoving 100% into the BB in that situation

Anonymous said...

i love it when people make fun of the stalker and he takes it seriously. He's so funny. Also dude what are you doing here. He'll never admit the call was ok. The only reason it wasn't is because Ocatavian had 1 of his live cards and because he lost. lol. If thats a reason to assume a call isn't good. Besides the stalker cant realize this is a good call for the future cause at the 3.25's that he plays you never play the same players again.

#1 Stalker said...

You guys make me so happy, because poker wouldn't be nearly as profitable if there weren't so many dumbasses like you out there.

$$$ THANK YOU FOR BEING DUMB! $$$

(ka-ching!)

I just want to mention something here that noone seems to notice. Stalker says he never railed spacegravy and this hand is from spacegravy's hand history which he posted on his blog but now is deleted. I just have a question. If this was from his hand history wouldn't we see his hole cards at the start of the hand and not at showdown? just wondering. Stalker its ok to rail him just admit it. No biggie. Trying to pick up something from a good player isnt a bad thing. Also i really hope i knew your screename if you played sng's. I'd shove on you every blind lol. And you can think im dumb all you want. It doesn't really matter

#1 Stalker said...

sorry...WHAT!?

Ugh...trying to be clever makes you look even more retarded. I didn't say Spacegravy posted the HH, I said it was posted as a comment on his blog.

READ AGAIN MORON:
"- I did not rail Spacegravy (why would I?)...the hand history was posted on his blog and I grabbed it before it got deleted (because Spacegravy doesn't want horrible calls like this advertised)...now go away loser"

Sheesh!

#1 Stalker said...

So who thinks this is going to stop Octavian_C from pushing 100% in similar situations? I don't. So the main reason for this call is invalidated.

Thanks for coming.

YOU LOSE.
