  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭ianmc38

    I want Tight Ted to do it "Jesus I never saw a hand!"
    Oh, and Amazing Allen is a pr1ck, I nearly challenged him HU4rollz before I suddenly realised where I was.
    And in case anyone wondered open pushing all in every hand gives a score of 56 :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,754 ✭✭✭ianmc38


    On my first time playing I tried to bluff everyone. The best hand was when I bluffshoved the AQ over Tricky timmys bet and he snap called with the K5 which he'd limped preflop. Very tricky play alright.

    Dont try lim RR KK :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 450 ✭✭Blip


    102....first time round folding QQ is geay, I dont think the pro played another hand after that? or maybe he did and I just folded.

    So the real question is who's sighing up?






    look at your score Blip!

    I did the test twice, and I don't think it's possible to play that QQ hand profitably without getting stacked. So I hope they don't mark you down for getting stacked, in fact I'd prefer if they marked you down for NOT getting stacked.

    I folded the AK v KK hand (I assume that's the one with an EP raise and a 3-bet before you from 2 tight players??) and also folded the JJ hand too.

    Also, I misclicked in the KK UTG hand and limped by mistake, 5 way pot or whatever and of course the "Pro" guy hit a set on the flop, I liked that touch, I think he folded the first time when I raised it PF??

    * Playing too tight – pre-flop or post-flop

    * Playing a weak hand - pre-flop or post-flop

    * Passive Play - calling when a raise was called for

    * Passive Play - checking when a bet should have been made

    * Ignoring tendencies of your opponents

    Never have I ran so good but got so many coolers!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1 mantlefan


    I can't seem to get it to load. It says loading and then stops somewhere between 25 and 99%. I've got the newest flash.

    This is too bad, sounds like something that could be useful or entertaining for me. :(

    Any suggestions?

    What a first post, but I guess I needed an incentive to get going.

    I think it might do this as the first time i done it i got it all in with QQ and the second time round i folded on the flop to see if it made a difference. All my other decisions were basically the same apart from some better value betting on the river with some hands and i got 4 points lower the second time round!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 208 ✭✭Headspace


    Got 117. Folded QQ pre due to running into a similar situation a few days ago. These training sites must be cleaning up, how many are there now

    With testimonies from such well known pros as Ben C 'BowDownTx' I'd say the creators of this site are rolling in it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 746 ✭✭✭Gillybean72


    I got 105..
    was good craic though.

    Score of 125. Best part of my game is knowing the odds. Worst part is my strategic play. Obviously didn't pay enough attention to the players names :)
    Called the preflop reraise with the queens and checkfolded the flop. Don't really know why. Folded the jacks pre also.

    Got kinda boring and I started getting all concerned about my stack FFS.... WTF


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,445 ✭✭✭✭eagle eye


    Wow, I got outscored by everyone and I thought I did ok, I had $4800 when the test finished, Peter Pro or whatever his name was got me with aces. Otherwise I would have done better. 94 I was given. Pathetic obviously going by the other scores but I am an online cash donk at holdem so no surprise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,472 ✭✭✭AdMMM


    There were a few dubious hands. One that sticks out for me is the "Tricky" player who limped with K5 and called my big raise to flop two pair!

    It wasn't very tricky of him... just retarded.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,124 ✭✭✭NickyOD


    The site is complete arse. It looks a bit dated. How long has it been up and running?

    The first time I played it I scored 119. I check folded the QQ post-flop and folded the Jacks pre-flop. Not sure if either was the right play tbh. Probably not since people who stacked off scored higher.

    There were some other interesting hands like the AJ on the 3-3-9 flop where I c-bet and then CRAI on the turn which worked out.

    I stacked off against loose larry with AT after I squeezed from the BB and hit an AQJ flop. He slow-plays AQ on the flop which is pretty unusual.

    I bluffed the very last hand with 8 high after more than half the table check to me on the J-6-3 flop then Tough Tiffany raises me and I 3 bet shove with nothing. She folds.

    Most if not all of the players don't really live up to their names.

    So the second time I play it I just play like a total calling station to try and see what cards everyone was playing and a lot of the time the hands just make no sense at all. I still ended up scoring 108 and they told me they could make me $2444 more per year but when I scored 119 they could make me over $2900 more per year.

    Could anyone who buys this software please send me their online usernames.

    Thanks.
