The Merse Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Finished 4th last night, thought I was on for the Saturday/Monday double of wins but wasn't to be. Was just about in the chip lead when pick up QQ 4 handed. Raise it to 24k (blinds 4/8). BB called me with K6 for a over a third of his stack. King high he bets and i put him in. Was not impressed to say the least. Was left with 18k, which I put in next hand with A5 of diamonds and the same bawsack called me with K2 of spades. I hit 2 pair and he flushes on river.

kaka_22 Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 That was pretty sickening, far too many idiots kicking about last night for my liking. Monday is normally the best bet for a decent standard as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DikT. Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Nothing worse than playing people who do not have a clue, or even worse, think they do. Reference slow play, not something I do often I have to admit, I like going in for the kill, but if you don't vary your style and raises then I think you become too predictable.

Walter Payton Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Wow. Just had the ultimate cold deck hand on WillHill this afternoon. Had 67 clubs in the BB playing 15p25p. guy raised it to 75p, couple of calls. I call. Board by the river is 27626. My opponent was holding 77. Un-be-liev-able. Cold Deck? Playing online last night, down to about 1100 chips from an initial stack of 1500, blinds are 50,100. On the button, look down at Kings- Under the Gun limps, cut-off raises, I reraise and both UTG and cut-off call. Flop comes K,J,2 to give me top set. UTG raises, Cut-off calls and I push all in- UTG calls and Cut-off folds. UTG turns Jacks so I'm laughing, top set against second set. River comes another Jack...

kaka_22 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I just booked a jolly to Las Vegas! No bad for some..... take me with you Played the 5er re-buy last night (due to the top 5 all getting a seat at the Sunday ?150 game), came 8th. Some eejit raised all-in - he'd been raising with sh*te all night so I knew he had nowt, at best a rag ace - so I called with my KJ, he turns over K10. Hits runner runner on the turn and river for the straight. Annoyed to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Was playing with 3 mates yesterday. Had two ?20 freeze outs, came second the first time and won the second so was up ?40 quid. We then decided it be wise to play 25/50p cash. i lost my ?40 profit fairly quickly so just dealt for a while. One of the boys, a pokerholic, was playing on tab so kept going out and buyng in for 20 quid. Eventually he went out again and bought in for 50 quid. He owed the pot ?90. The other 2 boys had bought in a few times and there was about 200 in the pot inc said "?90". The big hand - all limps - Flop - 2 8 6 rainbow. Bet of ?2 , 3 calls. Turn - 6 clubs. Betting ?5, 3 calls. River - 5 clubs. One boy bets ?15, the next with who owes the pot goes all in for about ?35. after some thought the other boy goes all in for about ?60 and the original bet calls the all ins. First guy had straigh, loosing about 50 quid, 3rd guy had nuts flush hit on the river breaking even or just under and the tit who owed the put had a full house on the turn winning around 140 quid, paying his 90 and taking a decent 50 quid profit. I was glad i stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Payton Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) Apologies in advance- this will probably turn into a long post, but I really need to vent somewhere that people will understand, and I don't think Samaritans would be too patient with me... For those that aren't aware, the Nuts poker league is a series of tournaments over 12 weeks at various pubs, with points being awarded each night according to how high you finish and a league being kept to find out who the overall winner is at the end of 12 weeks. With 80 points being awarded to a player for just turning up for a night and winners of a night likely to pick up at least 1000 points, imagine the drama when it comes down to the last night (tonight) with one player (me) only 2 points behind the league leader.... Realising that winning the league depended on me reaching the final table (only on reaching the final table does the points you earn for the night increase) and also finishing ahead of the league leader, I decided that my safest option was not only playing extremely tight, but making sure the rest of my table knew that was what I was doing- in case they were in doubt, I folded my Big blind to button raises of 3x both times in the first couple of laps around the table (9 handed) and didn't play a single hand in any other position. My biggest problem was when I started picking up hands... The first hand I played must have been about the 20th hand dealt. I was in the Big Blind again with blinds 50,100 and 3 people have limped- I've got Aces. Not believing my luck (but also realising the risk with so many players) I raise it to 500 and get 2 callers. Flop comes 8,J,Q, first player checks, second player bets 400 (into a pot of 1750) and I push all in, happy to take the pot there- I wish I had, I got an immediate call and the initial raiser turns over 9,10 (off, not that that makes much difference...) for the flopped straight.... Leaves me with about 800 chips. Second hand I played, about 7 or 8 hands later... In the small blind (blinds still 50,100), 5 limpers and I've got Kings.I Push and get 1 caller who turns A,8 (they were the big stack, but it's still definitely a loose call). Kings stand up and I'm up to 2200 chips. Third hand, again about 7 or 8 hands later and I'm in the Big blind again... Blinds are now 100,200. 3rd Position raises to 500, button calls and I look down at Aces again. I push all in and get both players calling, initial raiser for all his chips and second caller (who won the first time I had Aces) has about twice my stack so will lose about half her chips. Initial raiser turns over Q,3 of Hearts and the Button turns over A,9 of Spades. Despite me hitting an Ace on the flop, unfortunately it's the ace of hearts and the initial raiser hits runner runner to give him the flush to beat my set of aces with his Q,3. This guy is an Australian tourist who's just turned up for the night looking for something to do, not interested in the league or who finishes where.... Because the last pot was won by the small stack, I won the sidepot and still have about 700 chips in the Small Blind- look down at A,K. There's only one caller (the muppet who called with Q,3) but when I push, the BB folds and he instacalls- any hopes that he's got a nonsense hand again are demolished when he turns over Kings. Of course the remaining King comes on the flop to really take the p'ss and give me the pair, but he's made his set and that's 4 hands played (and I didn't play any other hands other than the ones described), me out of the nights tournament and my 12 weeks hard work come to nothing... Before tonight started, with the league being as it was I could have only dreamt about getting Aces or Kings 3 times in the space of 2 levels as you'd have thought it would have maximised my chance of winning the league. Unfortunately I lost while being an 82% favourite with my Aces each time and it seems I'd have been better off picking up 2,7 off each time and just folding, as the league leader went out not long after me.

Do you get any prize for 2nd in league? and what would 1st have got you? Know what you're saying about going all in with Aces, but personally while I'd never (or rarely) slowplay them I still think pushing all in everytime might not be the best way to maximise your long term earnings- I had hoped that a 5x Big Blind raise would be enough to deter hands that really only had connector value! Obviously the second time it was always going to be a shove given that there had already been a raise and a call. Second prize gets you a pat on the back- first gets a trophy. There's no cash incentive for winning the league, but there's a voluntary buy-in for each weekly tournament that sees you picking up a cash prize so because I've bought in every week and won quite a few times I'm well ahead for the season.

The Merse Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 Pretty bad luck there Andy. Unlucky. Just had an annoying couple of hands online there. Get Aces in the big blind on a pretty loose table, and get a walk! Then the big one. I limp with 5's, only playing 15/25p. Guy raises it to 1 pound. Another guy re-raises it to 5! Another guy calls! So it's on me facing 4.75 more to call. I really wanted to but felt the original raiser might reshove and I didn't feel like calling 25 quid off with them. So, I fold, and as expected original raiser shoves in. Both players call. It's QQ v AK v K9 in a ?60 pot. Flop 575. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you there mate, when your playing donkeys then you just have to wait for the premium hands as they call down everything. It can get frustrating when they suck out with their ace rag but just got to stick with it. You see some shocking bad play at those levels, especially late on a Friday/Saturday night. Can be very profitable tho!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statto Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 The best poker beat I've had was earlier this year in a WSOP weekly final on poker stars, it was the very last one so there was about 14,000 entering with the top 4 going to Vegas. It started at 1 in the morning and I eventually went out at 5. I was short chipped, I had about 6/7 big blinds left, the chip leader at my table had about 5 or 6 times that. I was dealt poker 10's. I flat call (I have got better since then and now I know to raise), there was a couple of folds then there was a min raise, the next player folded and then the one on my right called. I go all in. The original raiser folds and the guy on my right calls. He has KQ of clubs. The flop comes QQQ. Drawing dead on the flop! If you are going to lose a big tourney, this is the way to go, quad Q's.

Walter Payton Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Did you know Davie has been sacked from the cardroom? When did that happen? I was chatting to him on Monday night and he didn't mention it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Merse Posted September 24, 2008 Author Share Posted September 24, 2008 When did that happen? I was chatting to him on Monday night and he didn't mention it then. Where were you talking to him? He had a disciplinary thingy last week apparently and got the bullet. Pocketing money from the till I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsmak Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I heard that but to be honest I dont think it was possible for him to do it. I think they just wanted rid of him. Might go to the Maybury tonight for the ?10 deepstack re-buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circus Phone - 0131 228 4446 Maybury Phone - 0131 338 4444 That's now a ?30 freezeout as of this week, not sure if any of the other games have changed. Got to the final table fairly easily, barely any decent players took part that I noticed. Got done with pocket queens by a rag ace. Shanner.

The Merse Posted September 27, 2008 Author Share Posted September 27, 2008 Finished 8th at the Office Poker today. Bit gash seeing as I built up a stack quite early on but then was card dead for a good 3 hours I'd say. Got blinded and ante'd away and losing the odd pot and was a bit of a battle to stay in. In the end had 24k on final table. K6 in BB. Blinds 1,500-3,000, ante 200. Guy min raises mid possession. So it's only 3,000 more to me into a pot of like 12,000 so I feel I should prob call and do so. Flop comes K high. Felt I was probably ahead and decide for a check raise, guy bets 8k. I go all in for remaining 18k I had behind. He calls and turns over aces. Harsh lesson in thinking about value. Defending blinds can start off cheap and lead you to trouble.

In Absentia Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Disappointed how I played the final table at the office poker. Had approx 33000 with the blinds at 3000/1500 and 200 ante. Raised 2 1/2 the blinds in early postion with J 10 Suited! Which is a pretty poor play. Hopefully to take down the blinds and antes and fold of someone comes over the top. Big Blind goes all in with a big stack and I make my play worse by calling! I could of folded and been in push shove mode. He turns over pocket 7s which made it 50/50ish. I missed and finished 10th. It was my 2nd final table in a row aswell and I impoded again! So easily could of stayed out of trouble. My excuse is I was hungover and didnt have anything to eat all day.
