I am going to regret this.

Call 10

I honestly don't know if I'm going to regret it which suggests that you will regret it. 5% of my chips was a lot. I'm guessing the great poker books says I should have been aggressive pre-flop.

But we'll find out how much pr0ner is laughing at both of us soon enough.

that sounds like a set, jacks perhaps

I'd have turned a straight (but folded pre).

That's a good sign for me.

I would have folded if I wasn’t the big blind

exhibit a on why you raise your big pocket pairs preflop

And that's why you chase out hands early. Ah well, I haven't played poker since we played at your place... two years ago? And even then I can't remember the last time I played before then.

As all players have shown their hands I'm not going to do so again here. bb2112 wins the pot of 80 chips with his 2 pair.

Hand 3 in a little while.

Top pair on the board at the flop and I was the worst hand the whole way!

And I was scared of you. If only you scared me more, you would have saved me 10 or 20.

I was too. Like Vorret, the way he was betting I was thinking trip jacks. Or at the very least jack or high over card like ace or king. I kept wondering do I counter raise or just ride it out.

Hand 3
vorret has a seat between bb2112 and pr0ner as the Big Bling for this hand. Blinds up next hand.

Vorret big blind, bb2112 small blind, and Jaymann's button, right?

I cannot enter the action between the bb and sb i have to be the bb or wait until im on the dealer seat to play. Them are the rules, usually.

Actually I think I'd even skip the dealer ... been a while since I've played

Remus West wrote: ↑Thu Jun 18, 2020 1:23 am So, we will go with a single table tournament style.

[*]Blind levels will go up every 31 "clicks." Each hand increments the click counter by the number of players in the tournament at the time the hand is dealt.

Remus West wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 12:10 am I am going to use the previous structure with one edit - I am going to advance the “clicks” by twice the number of players rather than 1 click per player.

clicks 31

By my math, HAND01 started with 0 clicks; HAND02 started with 10 clicks, and HAND03 started with 20 clicks.

If you're listing number of clicks after the hand started, then I'd have:
HAND01 - 10
HAND02 - 20
HAND03 - 32

Can you clarify how the blinds will be increased? Is it clicks >= n×31 (n = 1, 2, 3, ...) at the start of a hand or after the hand has completed?

Thanks

Vorret, I think there was a misprint in the original hand blurb (which I quoted):

The Meal has the button. Jaymann is small blind and bb2112 is big blind.

Specific to late entry and player balancing, in a live game you would not be able to take a position between the cutoff and the big blind. You could come in as the big blind. You could not come in as the SB or the button. If you're being reseated, generally you'd be seated at the worst available position at the table (i.e., soonest to taking the BB, including being seated directly in the BB). A late entry doesn't generally typically follow that guidance.

If you're moved because a table is broken, you'd assume the responsibilities of any position at the table (button, SB, BB are all legit; but you'd not be shoehorned into a mythical seat between the SB and BB).

Yes. Corrected above.
