Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
I saw the flop, but decided I didn't want to hang around for a turn and definitely didn't want to see a river.
Yeah you're right.

Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
Well, i've only been there a couple of times but they are terrible. Far worse than online.
In terms of your br, depends what stakes you want to play at/how much experience you've had.

Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
I was playing this guy today who did it 80% of pots he was in and he was in more than 50% of pots. Anyway I had AQ and I had raised preflop and he called and it was just me and him. He check darked the flop and I checked behind even after hitting the ace. Then he checked AGAIN after the turn and I had to bet now then he bit over doubled my bet so I thought to myself surely he wouldn't have checked the turn and hoped that I would bet after I checked the flop if he had anything good....unless he hit the set on the turn. Anyway so I called and then the river was a blank and he bet $60 straight up which was about 30% of the pot size I thought he was full of shit because earlier he tried to bluff me out of a pot where i flopped a full book with very big bets. Similar sort of betting he was doing. Anyway he hit the set on the flop! Couldn't believe it.
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
Yes, if you called a raise preflop and are first to act post, it is fine to check on almost any flop. You will checkraise some made hands and some draws. You will usually fold when you miss.
Similarly, if you raise preflop and are first to act post when the action is heads up, it is possible to Cbet in the dark with many hands. Betting in the dark is less advisable at low stakes, since many players will be otherwise unaware that it is correct to Cbet 100% of flops in some situations.

Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
I have Fridays off for the next couple months so I'm playing Thursday nights. A mate was playing 1/2 so rather than play 2/3 I sit down on his table. Start with the max of $80, first buy-in rarely gets you anywhere on 1/2. I get it all-in on a 5668 turn, me holding 67, other guy has 68, so ce la vie, buy in again.
Goes much better this time. I'm up a bit and get red rockets, for some reason it seriously crosses my mind to just push pre-flop and win the minimum. But I raise to 15, old lady next to me snap-calls, one other caller. Flop is 10 high, I bet, she calls, other guy folds. Jack on the turn, I push, she doesn't hesitate. I show her my Aces, she rolls her eyes, she has cowboys and misses the two-outer.
I fold a lot pre-flop, most players want to see every flop, I pick my spots, I don't see another big hand (pre-flop anyway) for the rest of the night, but I'm made a few straights and got some value. I'm running so good that I'm in the BB and my first card flips a little. I try to cover it, guy in seat 8 says it's a 5, 5h or 5d he says. I look, and yep, it's 5h. By this time I have my 2nd card, I look at it, great 5d! Replacement card is 2h. I flash the 5d to seat 8. Because I did that I announce that I'll fold my BB. No one raises, I show the table the 5d and fold my option. Flop. 865, two clubs. Seat 8 manages to double up SB who turns a flush. Seat 8 had limped with Kings
I should have lost some money there
I go off with my mate to get some food, come back, and on the next two hands I flop trips. Then I bust a guy when I flop a flush draw, he check-raises all-in with top pair, no kicker, I call. Don't make my flush, but go runner-runner straight
Bust him again with tens heads-up after he raised to 12 pre-flop. Flop is all unders, he bets, I call. Turn is a Jack, he checks, I think I'm good, I push, he eventually calls with AK/AQ I think. He misses, he reloads.
I bust another guy with 43cc OTB. He raises to 10 from the CO, blinds call. Flop 876, all clubs. Check, check, check, I bet 15, fold, fold, CO mins, I tank call. Turn in a red 8. He checks, I tank push, and he eventually calls for about 90, probably assuming I have a flush draw. He shows wired 10s, without 10c. He misses the 6-outer.
I leave at 12:30am on $510, very happy with that.
Not counting my winning streak like ash is, just taking it one hand at a time.

Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
If you believed that then you are having a winning session, not have had 12 winning sessions
Forgot to mention one hand. I had 66 on a flop of 345. One guy pushes for 21 into a pot of about 45, next guy pushes for 70, large-breasted blonde next to him smooth calls, and I'm like WTF? I know if I don't hit the turn she'll push so I don't want to chase two streets and lose half my stack. I begrudgingly fold.
She had QQ for the over pair. 2nd pusher had 33 for bottom set. 1st pusher had A2 for the wheel.
Turn: 8. River: 7 (would have got there)

)Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
I faced almost this identical situation online a few days ago. 66 on a flop of 345 heads up against a half stack. I faced a minraise on the flop, and a 1/4 pot bet on the turn 5, and then a shove for about 1/3 pot on the river 7 which completed my straight. Inevitably the other guy had 44 for the turned boat. I don't think I could have got away from it. If he had a full stack, I might have found a fold.

Re: Experience at crown - Part 2
Went in again yesterday (Saturday avo). If you call +$10 a winning session, then I had a winning session. I call it a waste of time. Saturday afternoon at Crown is shit. I decided to leave and go watch The International.
And if you haven't been lately, they have implemented their new parking system. What a ****ing joke that is
. The queues to exit are ridiculous, everyone having to insert their validated ticket or insert their player card. Whereas say the airport has 6-7 exits, Crown has a couple and this system will not work. The car park is not designed for this new system.
Yeah I know, I'm fine with the fold.I've learnt don't be results orientated. You made the right fold

what are all u muppets bumping the other threads for instead of this one?
anyway, i lost last night, playing 1/2 only cos i went with a mate that only plays 1/2. this weird-looking asian that has some serious social deficiencies sits to my right. I remember playing him ages ago when i used to play 1/2. i recall he wore a richmond hat, so i asked him if he barracked for richmond. well, that was obviously a difficult question, cos he couldn't say yes or no. suffice to say it took me a few seconds to recall that he's an idiot.
i never got going the whole night, then my mate raises to 8, the weird asian guy that has a chromosomal defect or something bumps to 25, and i think i already knew how things would play out from there. Of course I had KK, tank push for about 90, I thought my mate was calling, but he folded. Asian guy with Down's Syndrome calls, but not exactly an insta-call.
I table my KK, Asian guy with birth defect says good luck. Flop is Queen high, he murmurs something, blank on the turn, he again murmurs something, brick river, he takes like 3 seconds, flips over his rockets and slams them on the table, again murmurs something, obviously very proud of himself. Well, did I go ****ing ballistic at him! Not for not flipping pre-flop, but the ****ing song and dance the whole way, then the ****ing booyah in my face. I was so ****ing pissed. I have my faults, but I would never do what he did. I was finally comforted by reminding myself that he was a chromosome short and in all likelihood has a small dick.
Buy-in again, lose a bit when I raised with KQcc, flop K76, my Asian mate bets out like a pussy like he always did, I raise, another guy re-raises, and I run into middle set.
Lose the rest with 99 v JJ on a 6 high flop. Down 230 on the night.
Only interesting hand from my point of view was Q2o in the BB, board runs out KQQQA, SB leads for 5 on the river, I flat, another guy calls, my mate can't help himself and raises to 20, SB folds, I ask my mate if he has it and flat, other guy folds. Mate has 9 high and is playing the board.
