FFA Wagering Thread: THERE HE IS!@! (5 Viewers)

I know we have some poker players in here so I'll tell the story. Playing PLO8 with $1600 behind and that's more or less average stack. I woke up to 3x4x5x6x in the cutoff - 6 people preflop for $10.

Flop comes down 4 :diamond: 7 :diamond: 8 :club: . SB Bets $50. BB pots to $210. I flat. Fold. Next guy Pots All in for $750. Button Shoves. SB Shoves BB Shoves. All have between $1200-$2500 other then the guy who all in shoved.

Our move. Calling $~1400 or folding is the only option we have.
Without doing any math, i think this is a fold.
My same thought.

So tell us more Ref :popcorn:
I tanked for about 2-3 minutes the whole time I had a sick feeling that it wasn't going to end well for me. Eventually one of the players in the hand said "come on put it in - you'll get there". I said "I'm already there - I got the nuts........ but you know what, Merry Christmas fellas" and open folded the 5-6 nuts face up. I got a couple of "WTF are you DOING?" and got called a ##### more or less by half the table, but esp by the ones in the hand.

After :20 or so of bickering about the fold the remaining players decided to run the rest of the board twice. It was all out there. The $750 shove had nut diamonds, the BB had top set and the button not only had 5-6 but had a 9 on board for counterfeit protection. Small blind was in the best shape as somehow he was the only one with A-2.

And the funny thing was the one thing I kept saying to myself was if even 1 :diamond: hit the board I was DEAD. Run out one went 3 :diamond: 9 :diamond: Run out 2 went 10 :diamond:8 :diamond: .

So the A-2 guy got away with Murder and I saved myself $1400.

EDIT: One of the players not in the hand, who I consider one of the best players I've ever played with, came up to me after the hand and gave me a hand pound and said I made a very good fold and that was a fold that only a good player makes. Coming from him it's a compliment.
Wow! :o

When you laid down, those were basically the ranges you guessed?
I would've guessed ace high flush draw, 2 A2's, and a 5-6. A 5-6-9 and a top set and only one A2 is even worse.

O8 ain't hold 'em.

I have to admit.... They have goten MUCH better on the withdrawals.

Still can't belive they are letting people do this little game.

The other thing to consider is if you get audited... Many wires are going to cause a lot of questions

same as check, 1 free/month otherwise $40 fee. The one annoying thing is the currency conversion. My recent withdrawal was $250 short of what I requested so I have to send a screenshot of the wire in my account and then sportsbook credits the missing money back to my sports account.

Intersting may check this out.

 
Chain, are you using StatFox for statistics? I just noticed this on my site, seems like a pretty thorough stat aggregator.
I'm going to check this out today. I have a link to their forum in my bookmarks, so it sounded familiar, I but didn't realize they had an actual website. Also, my bad on those Chiefs stats I posted last night - they were directly from an article I was reading and I didn't double check them. Off the top of my head aren't the Chiefs' two DE injured, because the 'Skins are just starting to do things with the read option that they weren't doing earlier in the season when RG was still gimpy. So that may file under matchups to exploit.

Yep, those were my guesses when I read it out.

I think you made a good fold.

 
Chiefs have allowed over 400 average yards L4, 34 points average L3, 2 total sacks L3.. if you like the Chiefs in this game bet the under and not the side. Better yet bet the dog and the under.
Does. not. compute.
Guess not.
This is a group effort by all of you to troll me, right?

"The Chiefs are giving up a million yards and points lately.... so take the under!!!"

 
well, in fairness, two of those games came against the Broncos didn't they?

I think Peyton Manning is a little better than RGIII at throwing the football around these days.

 
RN, it was if you like the Chiefs, take the under instead of the spread - just because the line looks fishy to me. I shouldn't have said that though because I'm not good with NFL totals. My bad brohan.

I looked at this game again today with a fresh set of eyes, and the L3 they've played Manning x2 and Rivers, that's not a walk in the park and they played decently given the competition. Meanwhile, I'm alot less impressed with the Skins over the L4. Averaging 16.5 PPG over that stretch against Min, Philly, and NYG (SF the outlier amongst those defenses). Passing is a huge concern - RG3 elicits no confidence right now from me, and I don't see him as a "value" spot on anything close to an upswing. If we're speculating about momentum/need to win, gimme the Chiefs on a L-3 with the playoffs in front of them vs. the Skins on a L-4 and 4 weeks from the off-season.

Up to -115 now, taking 2U on this one. I think the better team wins here, and will accept the potential push on 3.

I'm just confused as to why you would play an under after illustrating how bad their D has been. Not picking on you... just very curious.

Heard this on Sirius last night. Hadn't even thought of that song in over 20 years. Love the bass line.

You may remember them for their much more popular song, "Oh Sheila".

 
I bought Cincinnati U +3½ 105/100 and added to the partybus for Thursday. Just taking the best price on the market and three is a good number to have.
I figure both teams can score 3 TDs - average total points scored in their two games last year was 72 points. SNF action to boot. Nugs let me twist your arm here brohan.

Carolina vs. New Orleans o45 120/100
I'm betting you will be able to get this for less in live betting. Panthers dont give up early points often.
Average scoring given up by the Panthers defense by quarter this season:

1Q 1.8

2Q 3.8

3Q 3.1

4Q 4.4

Opponents are only averaging 13.1 points against them. I think it would make a lot of sense for the Saints to try to get an early lead and make them play catch-up. Plus ESPN had a segment on it. But the Panthers have only given up 2 TDs in the first half the whole season. Panthers 5-0 L5 to the under and they haven't lost SU or ATS since week 5.

 
MAC faves 45-6 SU (.882) and 36-12-3 ATS (.750) against an average spread of -13.8. The O/U in MAC games this year is 22-29-1 (.431) against an average total of 55.0. MAC faves of 3 or less 7-2 SU and ATS.

Some sucky lines in the UFC tomorrow night. here are some for the early fights:

Garcia -575 :scared: (hate this line, but Garcia is a beast, wall is a TUF reject) - 1 unit

Scoggins -260 1u

Mizugaki -260

Ring -220

fingers are crossed for a 4-0 to start with these guys. Haying laying all juice, but there are some mismatches on this undercard, probably because of the amt. of cards the UFC has had to put on and the injuries that have been hitting a little lately. It won't be this crappy for the main card
Some of the others have already moved do I'm also on:

Barry -150

Hester +135

hunt +135

ETA: none of the fights stand out too much. All for 1 unit or little Less. Fights in Australia and we have quite a few foreigners so hopefully we don't get the home cooking from judges or guys effected by the travel

ETA2: Hunt is more of a heart play. But dude has paid off a lot too
