Simo Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Thats me out already...85th of 165. Blinds were already up to 100/200 and I only had about 1200 (1000 starting stack) pushed A10 and called by KQ who hits a Q on the flop and a K on the river just to rub it in!

wibble Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I use to play full tilt and everyone on there use to complain about the same thing. Don't really think theres any truth in it myself, why would they? With huge poker hand databases all over the place any discrepancies at a large site would be uncovered within days. People just play badly and so you get sucked out on once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Dire start to the day despite being a bit of a card rack! Had QQ which hit quads, semi good pay off. Then had AA and hit full house, nay action. Then had 99 and the flop came down J93. Other guy had JJ though and took me for the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I was playing in the Super Sunday earlier tonight, finished after about 40 mins. not playing bad but just going round after round with no hand. I thought because I never posted it on this thread beforehand I may do alright but no luck. I'm deciding to go onto pokerstars for a bit, entered a $1.20 game, 9 players - I'm going for a gamble, I'm raising all pots when no aggresion is shown, if the non-fish call (I've identified the fish and the good players) I'll check call to the river, if their betting pattern is suspect I'll raise on the river. Nobody is out after 10 minutes (I'm genuinely surprised), I'll post the bad news later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Finished 6th, I then went to a cash table with $1 (1c/2c) Played 5 hands, either limped or raised all of them, reached $2.73 and left the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think i am on my best run in a long time playing cash games online. Made $115 in about an hour and a half this afternoon. Stood up and walked away with profit on all 4 tables I was playing. Hopefully I can keep this up and do it for the rest of my life now! Balance is the healthiest its been for over a year!

Scallywag Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I finished 540th from 1400 in the Ladbrooks tournament. It was a bit of sickner, pocket 55s and a 5 on the flop. Another guy raised so I went all in and he called with nothing....8 and J gave him a straight and I was out with an apology from the caller. Happy enough with how I played although I know I should have played more hands in the early rounds. I chickened out a huge pot with pocket tens, sure enough there was a ten in the flop and I would have taken down the pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I was playing pokerstars last night, a $5.50 2R+1A tourney. I finished 190th of about over 1000, 135 paid. I just wanted to say, I hate 4-to-the-flush. One player raised it, I had JJ, I re-raise all in, on looking back, I had just under 20 BB,possibly should have called. Anyway, he calls with AJ, 3 clubs on the board, he has the Jc. Turn fine. River club. That is my poker-pet-hate, 4-to-the-flush, hate losing with it, can naver get paid with it (usually).

I got knocked out (effectively anyway, I still had chips left but I was holding on instead of being in a good position) last night in a $5 tourney on fulltilt- the only defense I can think for the guy is that the bubble had just burst but I honestly can't believe he decided this was going to be the best opportunity he was going to get to increase his stack. Blinds were 300,600 with a 50 ante (I think). 2nd position (stack around 11,500) raises to 1300 and it folds to me on the button with A,K of diamonds so I reraise to 3000 (stack around 18000) and the original raiser flat calls. Flop comes Qd,Jd,3c. Original Raiser (pot is now 7350) bets 1500- I assume this is a bet for them to find out how strong their hand is and how much I like mine, and with there only being 2 hands he might have raised (and called) from UTG that have me being seriously behind (Q,Q or J,J, even then I'm winning the pot 33% of the time- against Aces I've got 45% and against Kings I'm 55%) and with a lot of fold equity, I decide to let him know exactly how strong I am- I shove. He calls with 10,10 and avoids all my outs... Would anybody else call in that spot with 10,10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get opinions on a hand here as well. 25/50p blinds. There is a raise from one of the button. The button calls. You look down at QQ and re-raise. They both call. Flop comes down KT6. You check, original raiser bets. Button folds. You re-raise with the QQ and then the original raiser goes all in. What do you do?

They've represented either hitting the flop hard or the flop not worrying them with the King on it- You've put them to the test by representing absolute confidence and check/raising them but they've shown they're happy to go for all their stack by moving all in. I'd be folding there most of the time- I'd be happy to reassess if you give more information i.e. Stack sizes, recent hand history (could they be tilting after a previous hand) how often this guy had been check raised and what his reaction was etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumping on the bandwagon to get thoughts on a hand here...Playing in the Nuts poker at Oddfellows last night and just wondered what others would do in this spot. Its final table 300/600 blinds with I think 7 left and im in the sb (cant remember stack sizes but I had about 8k and had them both covered) Gets folded to mid position who raises 1800, folded to me in sb and I have pocket 8's , dont wanna get involved in a massive pot out of position so i just call, bb looks as if hes about to call then stops thinks for a minute or 2 and eventually shoves all in for about 4.5k more.

Walter Payton Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I think you should have made your decision already when you flat called the original raise whether you were prepared to go with the hand even in the face of future raises. Even if the BB had folded, the pot was still going to be 4200. Obviously you're dreaming that you're going flop your set (or better), but that's only going to happen roughly once every ten times this hand plays out, so you're better making your plans if that misses and on the majority of flops you're going to see at least one overcard to your 8. In this spot I'd normally bet at the flop regardless (at least it puts the decision on your opponent) but if he then reraises you, you're definitely pot committed. If you check, he's surely got to put a continuation bet in and you're still not going to know whether he's got you beaten or whether he's just trying to take the pot. If I'd played the 8s, I'm deciding preflop whether to put my stack in on or not (and with the benefit of hindsight it looks like the original raiser would have folded) but it really depends on your read on the original raiser as to whether you think your ahead of their raising range enough times to warrant this. Since that's not the question you asked (eventually I'm getting there!) I'd again say it depends on your read of the BB, whether they're the sort of player who'll decide to make a stand with suited connectors because of perceived "live" cards or "value" or if they're a rock that's probably only going with a hand you're a coinflop against or behind. Against an unknown player who I've got no read on, I'm really just looking at value- I'm calling 4.5k to win 13.2 and if you lose you've still got 3-4k left. I think you call.

Edit: Sorry, that was a "quick" reply to Simo's post! Thanks for the reply. In the end I eventually folded, I figured that at best im flipping and its about 3/4 of my stack and I could easily be crushed, the fact he took so long to eventually go all in made me think he had a decent but not great hand like AJ-AQ or a mid pair like 99-JJ. I showed him the 88 and he showed me AJ. Original raiser said he had Q10. We decided to "see what would have happened" - stupid I know. Anyway the flop came KJ8 so he'd have his overcard but I would have hit my set! Turn came a blank and river was an ace so Q10 would have rivered a straight and won the lot but I'd have won a massive pot if I called since he folded. My friend sitting next to me couldnt believe I had folded, I said at the time I thought it was a good fold and that at best its a race and i still think the same tbh. the only thing is I should have shoved over the original raise to take the pot down preflop.

Walter Payton Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks for the reply. In the end I eventually folded, I figured that at best im flipping and its about 3/4 of my stack and I could easily be crushed, the fact he took so long to eventually go all in made me think he had a decent but not great hand like AJ-AQ or a mid pair like 99-JJ. I showed him the 88 and he showed me AJ. Original raiser said he had Q10. We decided to "see what would have happened" - stupid I know. Anyway the flop came KJ8 so he'd have his overcard but I would have hit my set! Turn came a blank and river was an ace so Q10 would have rivered a straight and won the lot but I'd have won a massive pot if I called since he folded.

Well done on getting 2nd. As I said, your decision in that spot should really come down to your evaluation of the player you're up against so I wouldn't argue with the fold! Not sure if I like the guys shove with A,J though when there's not only been a raise from a player who's only in middle position, but a flat call from the SB who seemingly has a hand he doesn't mind playing out of position...
