2. Daniel will soon be suspended and stricken of his red pro status for an account handoff to one Unicorn Lord of Fremont, Calif.

Ah, but seriously folks... how surprised would you be if you were Cole in this hand?

A box full of kittens died when he 3bet the turn.

If anyone still cares, I ran across this response from Daniel about the hand posted by OP.

1. CTS is a super good player. Open the window for him and he is very capable of throwing you off the roof if you get too frisky.
2. We are super deep. Playing 100 BB stacks is very different than almost 300 BB's.
3. Check calling flop to make it look like a draw so he double barrels, and maybe fires a 3rd as a bluff.
4. 8 on the turn is a bad card. If I check-raise the turn he folds anything but a set or a draw. If we get it all in on turn, I'm usually behind. Either way he will NOT call river.
5. If I check-raise the river it's hard for me to realistically rep J-10. Problem is, HE CAN. If I check-raise river, how would you bitches like it when he shoves? Nice spot right? You like that spot do you? Then be my guest. It's a pretty spewtastic river check-raise with a hand like 999. Tough to fold to a shove, the problem is, your opponent IS capable of shoving on you with air.

Of all the forum posts I read about this hand only one guy understood my line and thought it was fine. It was a guy who plays in the game. Also had another top online pro comment on my line in the hand and he thought it was excellent. Listen to the pros, or listen to people who think, "You have three of a kind man!!! Raise!!!!!"

Whatevs man, I think I'm doing just fine and my improvement in just the last week has been pretty significant. I've worked hard, and it's made me the best I've ever been. Laugh at the 999 hand in a vacuum if you like, it doesn't phase me because I know the play was fine. If I thought I made a mistake on the hand I'd say so.

#3 is probably where things go awry.

[5carab]

His problem here is that he fails to explain how he was ever going to get value from his hand. He was basically just planning to bluff-catch 3 streets... what a genius. Imo (although I don't know), the pro in the game who said he liked it probably did, means he knows to fold to every single raise DN ever makes. As Jimmy said, undefendable.

silly live pro, poker is for kids

lol DN. No **** the guys in your game are going to defend you. They know not to tap the glass.
