MSNL is beatable
Posted in Poker | View Comments (14)
 

Just had this hand with my group students, not a huge call IMO but definitely shipping the HH for funny/donk love factor. This group is about to finish up and so when the one guy missed who was supposed to close us out, we agreed I'd play and be sweat some.

Full Tilt, $2/$4 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 6 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

Hero (BTN): $810.50
SB: $795.25
BB: $1,158.05
UTG: $811.25
MP: $785.25
CO: $400

Pre-Flop: 9 9 dealt to Hero (BTN)
3 folds, Hero raises to $12, SB calls $10, BB folds

Flop: ($32.50) 6 3 J (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $20, SB calls $20

Turn: ($72.50) 4 (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $52, SB raises to $165, Hero calls $113

River: ($402.50) 5 (2 Players)
SB bets $597.50 and is All-In, Hero calls $597.50

Results: $1,597.50 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed 9 9 and WON $1,594.50 (+$800 NET)
SB showed 8 8 and LOST (-$792.50 NET)


I was glad to see how many responses the post on poker etiquette got. It always strikes me as interesting how people try to apply moral imperatives to a game based on taking money from other people. I think people can still be classy, don't get me wrong. I just think that logically, the implications are hilarious. Classy slow-roll coming soon?

Stay tuned.

PS - New group coaching sign-ups are very soon! Like even tomorrow or day after tomorrow style

Seems like a ton more combos of 88 than whatever else, not to mention his random flush draws... i feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, is everyone just out to level me here? I need a smiley face emoticon thing that has it's head exploding. Settling for this: (>_<)

Like everyone else here I'm a little confused about this blog post. How does this show that MSNL is beatable??
It's an OK bluff by him, and for you I think it's close on the turn (probably a call), and river very close (probably a fold). Although, I did just notice that his river shove was a big overbet......but clarification of how this shows MSNL is beatable would be much appreciated!

Also, could you let us know details when new group sign ups are allowed?

It's a joke title about how you don't have to make insane hero calls to beat MSNL. It was just a level to perpetuate the entire "oh the games are dying so I have to become Phil Galfond to beat 200nl" mentality. Apparently my weird sense of humor is lost on some / many of you... ;/

acsutch - Group sign ups are allowed whenever, just PM me here. I'll have a much more detailed post outlining the curriculum and possibly with some interviews from students in the latest groups that are just finishing.
