Presidential election in France!! Today 1rst Round


Today's is the first round of the presidentials in France! 43 million voters, 12 candidates and they will be only 2 left at the end of this sunday (8 pm french time)!
too much candidates it sucks! lol !when you vote for small candidats who have a good project(like ecologists or parties of the workers) you feel like it's useless because these candidat don't even plan on being president just because they can't !anyway it shows pretty well how the French are divided! Am not going to waste my voice so am gonna vote for one of the 3 favourites (the 3 on the top in the pic)!
All candidats were born during the babyboom and are pretty well managing with their image (like in hollywood or in poker lmao) but 2 of them bluff too much ( the 2guys)so am gonna vote for miss Ségolène Royal she's far prettier than the two guy lmao! and she's more progressist! i wish the extremist are gonna get a big slap and then shut their mouth a bit in that country who don't need so much polemics!! I hope this election will change in good the project of a united europe and what better than a serious energic women to change the image of an old and static country after 12 years of unfruitful reforms by the power in place (berk)!
GO WOMEN!!!!

how to know your chance easily postflop

HI little blog have no fear i didn't forgot you !! not been bloggin much these day but i was really busy because of the university and because the poker leagues at poker.com took all my free time!! but let's talk about poker texas holdem strategy!!

After doing by myself the probabilities to catch your hand postflop regarding the number of your outs!( i know i'm mad and that this probab are already on the net, but it's a good way to understand it that to make it)so after i've done it and checked if they were good i remarked something interesting!

The thing is that the percentage can be known very easily and with out any big calculation! you just need to count well the nummber of outs you have to improve your hand!

For example : you have 65 of hearts and the flop is 9h, Jh, 2c let's say in that example that you're with one opponent and that he has JdTd in the hole, so at this point he has only a pair of Js with 10kicker!
at this point you only think to catch a fluch to win the hand.. (backdoorstraigt or backdoor 3o kind will give you 2more % that we'll add later.. )

So..the number of your outs to improve your hand into a winning hand are the hearts still in the deck (2h, 3h, 4h, 7h, 8h, 10h, Kh, Qh, Ah) there are 9 , 9 cards that you can catch on turn to improve you hand!

the thing i remarked is that : to know you chance(%) on the flop for the turn, you only have to multiply the number of your outs by 4!!
so 9X4=36% + the 2%of Bacdoor straight od 3okind = 38% !! easy no??

and the other amazing thing is that if you don't catch your flush on turn, ( ex : turn is 7c) to know your chance for the river you only have to multiply your outs by 2

at this point you still have only 9outs to win the hand so..
9X2=18%!!18% chance to catch your flush on river!

this rules of 4 and 2 works pretty well for a nb of outs under or equal to 12 ! between 12 and 22 it's better to multiplicate by 3.5 instead of 4 ( X2 is still good over 12 outs)

here is the recap board:

it's a very easy way to know your chance postflop in a hand and then you can ask yourself some question like :
do my oponent have some of my outs in his hand? which is not good for my chance!
or what if i got one of my outs but that it makes the board pairing and put a potential full house on that board? do my opponent flopped a set? etc etc...

all good question which help to have an idea of what your opponents have!!!

this is with that technics that you can make some magic trick and tell the hand your opponent have! yes it works sometimes !!and then your oponents will think your spooky

enjoy

Winter championship main event! clic to see the leader board

After a very bad run of cards in the previous events of the poker.com winter championship, i finally got a pretty good result in the Main event!
3 main period occured for me in that tourney:

1- the early starts : starting chips 5k : after a phiew hands in a prety tight table i was at 6k ish, then i took some beat on some too decontracted call or due to a phiew bad read and went to 3k ish! from now starts the 2nd period!

2-the agression : after playing a bit too loose i decided to focus 100% on that tourney (dam the buyin is 60$ NOKY! lol )so i start the agression and became pretty unreadable while i did some pretty hard and good read! why everyone wants to bluff me? lol ! i came to 20k in like 5 hands! then i took a little beat whit a pair of aces and i got out kicked, so i went to 12k in chips and decided tobecome more and more agressive, after making some other good call and putting some traps my stacks came to 70k chips!! at this moment i was 2nd of the tourney! happy but still focusing ! i knew that the serious thing would start now! many player can't contain their emotion and start to play too loose because they thik they have to steal alot because of their chip count! so my strategy was to keep being agressive but not to waste my table image by stealing to much on position where a bully would normally steal with rags, increasing btw his chance to get an accident! so this strategy was actually good because i could take some nice pot thanks to my good table image : solid and not bluffy (not bluffy was only the image ! lol )

3-resisting to make the finale table : i'am at 80k chips, and my position moves from 2nd to 8th in a 1rst time, then happened what i really was afraid to happen : the fecking cold deck which makes you buble if you tilt! i didn't tilt and folded alot of hand to finally enter in the money! woohoo ! was happy and now was waiting for some cards! now i'm the shortstack and we're only 11 player still in! i got the best hand i've ever had in the tourney, KK on SB, was at 40k chips with already 5k in the pot, a guy in middle position raised to 30k and i went allin to find that my best hand ever in that tourney was against the best hand of the texas holdem :AA!! ohhhhh noooooooo!!!

So i was a bit sick to lose and to not make the finale table but i won 5 time my buy in so am happy!



I am 56th out of 994 player in the leaderboard ; congrats to bertiewooster for winnig this, and congrats to my team mate Gene1047 who finished 50th!!
