Sexton Hardcastle Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I played on sunday nite. the old key 10er rebuy. Was fecking awful. Won 3 hands of 40 quid. Got nothing all nite. Made a mvoe which woody talked his way into playing and won Q9 over AJ. If it had been the other way around he'd of lost the plot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaka_22 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 I thought you played very well when I was at the table with you. Good size bets and weren't scared off by the regulars. PS - That hand I won against you when I raised your bet on the river and you folded. I'd hit trips on the flop! Pleasure to meet you Phil, cheers for keeping me in check. Good to have a friendly face on the table, was really enjoying myself until about half 12. My worst enemy is sheer boredom. What games do you boys normally play in? Looking at the schedule earlier, thinkin about playing the Wed game, but what does 'deep stack rebuy' mean? Don't think I'll bother with the ?5 re-buy games, had enough of them before, was pretty much a lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the schedule earlier, thinkin about playing the Wed game, but what does 'deep stack rebuy' mean? Don't think I'll bother with the ?5 re-buy games, had enough of them before, was pretty much a lottery. It's a ?20 re-buy on Wed. You get 2000 chips so there is actually some play involved instead of just all-ins and trying to get lucky. You get 4000 chips as an add-on for ?20 also. It's not a bad game, I've only been to it once and there was just under 30 players but the pot got fairly big. The only games worth playing at all are the Friday ?10 rebuy, the Sat & Mon 30 quid freezeouts and the 20 quid re-buy on the wed. Favourite game is the Saturday one, it's the only game I used to play, think I'm going to try and get back to just the one night a week.

The Merse Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Went to the casino ****ed as a fart last night and played a cash game. Pocket Kings got bust twice. Pffft! Somehow came home about 100 quid up, was playing ultra aggressive, all-in poker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Payton Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Playing in a tourney on Pokerstars last night and was absolutely flying- it was still the first level, and thanks to me having the nuts twice while two players seemed to want to give me all their chips (both with bluffs that I'd have called with fourth pair they were that unbelievable) I was about 3 times the number of chips everybody else had. New player comes to the table and sits 2 to my right- has a bigger stack than me. Still 1st level, blinds 10.20 and I've got K,10 on the big blind and it comes round to me unraised with 4 players, including big stack on the button. Flop comes 9,J,Q rainbow. I bet about 100 (pretty much pot size) and players in between myself and the button fold. Button Raises 300 more. I raise 1000 more. Button min raises me another 1000, so I move all in (he has about 200 chips left afterwards) he calls- pots now about 12500 chips- He turns over 9,9 for bottom set. Turn comes a 2- good card for me River comes a 2- sends me home after he fills up his trip 9s... Not anywhere near as bad a play from him as some of the others on this thread, but I'd like to think I could have got away from bottom set with so many raises on the flop. Obviously he's laughing because he sucked out, but do people think the hands played themself, or do you think you could have got away (in his shoes).

Bigsmak Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 do you think you could have got away (in his shoes). Was it a tourney? A cheap one? how much did you have invested? To be honest in a ?5 tourney I will throw all in with bottom set as its so cheap to play. Even late on in the tourney. If it was a ?200 entry.. I'd think twice about it.. I'd call you down and probably raise given the opportunity. Maybe not re-raise. I don't think there was any chance you were both not going all in in and you got unlucky. That's all. According to The Poker Calculator; You are a 65% Fav after the flop. And a 77.3% after forth street. So I guess its just one of those games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Unless it was for huge money I don't think many players are getting away from a set to be honest. Even if he thought you were ahead he had the board pairing for outs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaka_22 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Came 4th in the Casino game last night, pretty gutted to be honest. 6 players left. 200,000 chips in play. I had 100,000 of them. Came down to 4, down to about 80,000 chips and limped in on the button with AJ as no one was even bothering to call any raise from me. Flop 5 J 5, turn A, I bet a smallish amount, small blind re-raises, I re-raise all-in and he shows a 5. Turned into the chip monkey but managed to get back level with the chip leader after another 10 hands. All 4 of us are pretty much evens by this point and it's half 5 in the morning now. Two of us are up for work at 8 so we offer a deal, ?350 each, other boy is happy to split but the other clown refuses. I get dealt A 9, clown raises to 10, I go all-in, instant call, he has A K. Chirrow! Still pretty impressed with the way I played, only made 2 mistakes all night and knocked out a few of the regulars, few of them are right greetin faced bairns! Final table was good craic, lookin forward to Mondays game already haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Payton Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Playing in a 5 dollar S&G and there's a complete donk who doubled up first hand then proceeded to lose it down to about 500 in the space of 5 hands. He shoves all in , and somebody else calls- I've got K,Q and I make the marginal call. Flop comes 10,3,2 and the other guy pushes, so I fold. They both show A,9 and the pot ends up getting split, but not before the turn and river come K,Q. Question is- why do donks make stupid bluffs to win no pot that they can only lose chips with if called, and allow other players to stay in the game? I've seen the same thing a few times, and it always really annoys me, whether I'm in the hand or not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you planning it? Tourney tonight I got bent over and raped up the shiiiiter tbh. Lost with Jacks to A4. Later on, have A4 in the big blind, folds round to SB, he raises it, I know he's just trying to steal my blind so move in. Calls with J8 and beats me and leaves me with only 2k. Then double up and have 4600. Raise with Aces from under the gun, some guy pushes, obviously call. He has Kings and hits quads. Arghhhhhh.
