EOH Poker

**Rer** · 2012-05-18

Wasn't really sure whether to put this in Uncensored, General Discussion, or here, so mods just move as you see fit.

Anyways, was just wondering if any other Kugu dudes play EOH Poker at all. Figured it might be fun to [s]take people's money[/s] get to know people that way. Personally I was doing relatively well today, then hit a really bad losing streak, down about 600 mil today but hey, that's poker. Anyways if anyone else plays, we should make a game sometime, whether just on a Ring Table or one of the buy-in games.

I'll even give away that I rarely bluff and rarely pussy out if people re-raise me. There, now you can easily take my money.

Oh my god...I was thinking of doing a thread like this last week, whilst the site was down, but ended up destroying potential babies instead.

My thread was going to be more a, which Poker software/site do you guys go on? But sure, if there's an Eve one, why not.

I'd be interested btw. If you hadn't figured..

This week's free roll is in 4 hours (7EST).

No entrance fee and the winner comes out a bil richer

(or it might be split amongst the top 3, not sure). So now would be a great time to make an account!

Edit: Image added for those who don't know what I'm talking about if they're new :P. The button will obviously say Register

[/spoiler]

Double-Edit: Came in 8th, won a free 50 mil, I'm satisfied.

I came 5th (out of 6) in a poker league with a few friends so I'm feeling a little shaken, poker confidence-wise

**Rer** · 2012-05-19

You just gotta believe in the power of pocket 4s man.

**Don Peyote** · 2012-05-19

Actually won a hand with pocket 3s yesterday B), made one duder fold and it turned out he had quad fours too, but then I got fucking dumpstered and lost it all

And before Dental comes in and says "AHA SPLODEY I KNEW YOU WERE ACTUALLY PLAYING AGAIN I CAUGHT YOU" It was not EOH, it was real life poker without neckbeards (well okay, with neckbeards, but we were all in the room

)

This thread is harmful to gambling addicts.

Coincidentally I have just started playing again.

**somedude76** · 2012-05-20

Don't you still have to only finish top 3 of 6 to win money? I used to play a bit. It was like taking candy from a baby.

There were a ton of retards that play 1v1. That is a good way to lose your money.

I prefer to call it a tactical retreat.

For DT games yes (sorry blanking on what that acronym stands for ._.), the top 3 win a little less than double of what they put in, while the other 3 walk away with nothing. After about a solid week of playing 54 million buy-in games, I've gotten to know most of the regulars and how they play, which is a huge advantage when trying to read hands.

I still do stupid shit from time to time, but I'm getting better about just accepted minor defeats on hands rather than going in balls deep and coming out with nada. This is especially important in DT, because the object isn't to be the chip lead, its just to survive and end up in the top 3.

For those that are wondering where to find these games, join the channel "EOH Poker" and request for a banker to gamespam. Said spam will be in "EOH Games" so make sure you're in that channel as well. Simply pay the banker the registration cost, register on whatever table the game is assigned on Mavens (the poker program EOH uses), and simply wait for it to fill. Then, if you win, type x[Table #] in "EOH Poker" and the banker shall send you your newfound ISKies.

Example being x11, just to clarify.

Also, up 400 mil today ^____^

I)'m good friends with a few of the EOH bankers, and yes taking 54DT's is like candy from a baby, but they take so long to play because dudes play retardedly slow and shit. DT also means double through, TT is triple through(9 players 3 win)

**Rer** · 2012-05-22

HOTDAMN!

Won two big ol' poker tables tonight, up 400 mil. They don't call me Rer 'Negative Nancy' Eirikr for nothin'!

**Bowkers** · 2012-05-22

As soon as I get net-watch me burn up the tables.........

**Rer** · 2012-05-24

I've got Quads on the flop twice today.

NEVER NOT GO IN ON POCKET 4s!

**Bowkers** · 2012-05-24

oh man...I'm going to love playing you Rer

**Rer** · 2012-05-24

My luck is a pendulum, its either Luck O' the Irish or the Potato Famine.

pocket 4s beat AK off suit >50% of the time hot and cold~

**Rer** · 2012-06-06

I actually got another Quad 4s today, guess that's just my hand.

**Rer** · 2012-06-08

Oh what's that? You've gone All In and I have a Royal Flush draw? Okay let's play.

Oh fuck I got nothing on the turn.

It was later that day that I would play on a Billion ISK table and misread a flush, thus losing a bil almost instantly. Staggering on with smallstack, being forced to all in on blinds, I would come out lucky a few times thanks to the Heart of the Cards, getting trips on flops with pocket 5s and such. Alas, it would not be enough to carry me past my own mistake, as some douchebag in Eve Engineering would force my hand due to blinds, resulting in a loss.

[spoiler=Back to square one.]

That might be true. But you're rarely going to be in that situation. Pre-flop you're going to be up against many hands and unless you bet hard you're not going to get it down to 1v1. In real life poker when you've got 6+ sitting at the table, going in hard with pocket 4s is just going to lose you money 90% of the time.

**Grogoth** · 2012-06-09

Which I why I wrote ~hot and cold~, it is a style of poker, stop being shit at life.

**somedude76** · 2012-06-09

bah, I see what you mean after reading a few words on the matter. You sir, are a bigger poker geek than I. I just play it, and play it pretty well. I'm no student of the game though.

**Rer** · 2012-06-10

You gotta love when you make enough friends in EOH Poker that they try to keep you alive in a TT game. Random bro I've never even met other than Poker saved me from Blinds by knocking out two dudes, getting 2 Billion ISK in the process.

This sounds less to do with poker and more to do with backdoor alleys if you get my drift.

Common riffraff, rumors, and scuttlebutt I assure you. I am a card player of the finest caliber.

I may be dumb but i don't understand the point of auto deposit if you have to give your buyin to the dealer in Eve ISK. I already have a bunch of chips from auto deposit and I gotta spend more ISK to buy into a tourney? I don't want to play ring games.

**Rer** · 2012-06-11

If you don't wanna play Ring games then just pull your chips out, they aren't needed for Tourney play.

**T'Renn** · 2012-06-11

welp. oh well nbd gf gf oh-seven EOH

**Rer** · 2012-06-11

Though dicking around on Ring Tables can result in much butthurt and anger madness, which can be worthwhile.
