A scouting tip: always scout the most important position first. What I mean by that is, what position will make you cross your fingers and hope for the best if you don't scout it? Generally, that is the position with the quickest drop distance to your mineral line. You need to be able to adjust your timings to handle fast drops or fast dts at close positions. You never want to have to use those super fast timings meant to handle those when you haven't got a clue if that is what they are doing. .

Is your life really this pathetic that all you do is troll? Guys, random_korean is an attention whore and he has another thread, please feed the whore by giving him ideas to try out so he can have the attention his mother never gave him. I have no idea what your issue is, but you definitely have one.

I'm new to tl.net, I didn't realize you could ban; if there was a kill option in real life, I would have used that for sure.

Can't fit in with a Korean community because you are a noob/annoying as fuck there, so you come here to feel like a big man? Grow the fuck up.

Not as hard as your boyfriends erection at the chance to troll. When you get done sucking him off some more, perhaps you could think about making your first post on tl.net with any substance. In other words, get someone else to post for you. Thanks.

situations where emp is more useful are not rare at all, whenever you're going 2-3 port and they arent doing a ridiculously good job of killing vessels its well worth it to get emp. theres so many times when that extra 2 seconds consume takes is the difference between having a swarm up in your natural or not, or killing their expo or not. how many times do you see a 3 group mm army charging an expo to have 2 lurkers under a last second swarm hold them off until reinforcements are there? with emp thats a dead expo.

So.... I've been playing poker and can't complain about much, but one thing that has perplexed me is playing Ace King out of position; to the winning poker players out there, is it ok to fold ace king off suit when out of position in a ring game? I hate knowing I'm going to miss the flop most of the time -- while being out of position -- and then when I do hit the flop, it's transparent so it's hard to get paid off. I simply don't understand how to make it a profitable situation.

I would love to fold Ace King and think nothing of it when out of position, but I feel like I'm breaking some poker commandment and thus will be ridiculed and miss out on money.

Any insights on Ace King in general would be appreciated. Also, is it too passive to play QQ as a hand that is basically relying on a set? Ie., you have an overpair to the board; you raise and then you get re-raised, so you fold. If that is standard, is that erroing on the side of caution going to be minus EV?

If anyone has insights on those questions and wants help on SC, I can trade some info.

There was a guy who played Online Poker as his profession, made about 5k a month and he was looking to trade tips for Starcraft tips.

I think you should get to know him.

Add handling ridiculous beats to the inquiry: I took a shot at the next level, as I didn't feel like waiting 2 days to be "properly" rolled (rakeback). 5 minutes later, a kid opened with a raise from first position with 89 off suit and then called a 3x re-raise, and then he called an all-in after flopping a fucking 9. We were both full-stacked and he cracked my Aces by going runner runner for a straight.

89 off suit in a 9 man ring game from first position. Everything about what transpired tilts me and never again will I take another "shot" at anything. Could have at least been suited.

I saw someone that had played over a million hands without being able to move up to the next level, or make any money for that matter, so I guess life could be worse.

No folding AK is pretty bad play! Only fold AK if you are getting raised by an extreme nit... even then I don't know if I could fold. Are you playing 6max or full table? it sounds like you are playing weak tight poker and any decent player will see your low % and will result in no action. You might as well just play short stack since you're not playing poker at all. This doesn't mean however that you shouldn't play tight aggressive at lower stakes, but extremely tight weak, passive play is bad even at lower stakes. No you should play QQ agressively post flop.

I prefer playing full table. I play tight-aggressive, I simply respect re-raises until I have a reason not to. And I think ace king is too over-rated to care much about it when out of position. I'd rather play an ace suited hand and have a chance at an unforeseeable 2 pair, or simply a mathematical-based decision on what to do next. Not saying I play ace suited hands out of position when facing a raise, but it would probably be more preferable.

Since I don't bluff much, if at all, if a regular re-raises me, I simply can't fathom QQ being better than a marginal decision. Reverse psychology, not at this level, lols.
