Bigsmak Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I bust out last night. sucks mate.. i know how you feel.. This goes back to the Bankroll management we talked about. If you were only playing with 1/20th of your roll, you would have just re-loaded and got on with it and tried to win the cash back from the donk. I lost a big pot yesterday, had JQ suited and the flop came K,10,9 and the Donk bet into me, i raised and he pushed all in. I called and he had K,9 and said.. I knew you had JQ... and i said why call but by then the 9 had come out giving him a full house.. Sucked, but most of the time I will win that pot.. But because I had only a bit of my Roll in the game, I re-loaded and proceded to lose my next buy in to the same guy who called my 6xBB raise out of position with A7 against my Ak and the flop comes A 7 2 and bobs your uncle... SO reloaded again and slowly managed to grab some of the cash back from him. BRM FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DikT. Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Well I won about $300 last night, but cannot remeber a bloody thing!!! Three bottles of wine is not conducive (or maybe it is!!!!) to playing well. Cannot remember any of the good wins or beats!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Payton Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Interested to see what you guys think of a hand that played out during the home game on Friday night... It's one of the first hands of the night, and there hasn't been any sizable pots played previously so everybody has close to their 15,000 starting stacks and the blinds are still 25,50. UTG is notorious though for hating the slow, early levels of deepstack poker and decides to raise, blind, up to 350 to try and create some action- it certainly works! Person 1 is sitting in the next seat and decides to reraise, making it 1350 to call. The table folds around to Person 2 on the button, who has A,J suited. If you were person 2, what would you do?

Fold. With the blinds so low there are much better spots to invest the chips. I wouldnt be worried about the blind raiser I would be concerned about the reraiser even if he is making a move you dont know if your ace is good if you hit one and would be expensive to find out. I would expect you would have to invest about a third of your stack in a big pot where in most cases you dont know how good your hand is even though it may be the best hand.

Cheers for the insight Adam- I'll wait to see if anbody's opinions differ before I tell you how the hand played out (though it doesn't really effect whether the decision was "right" or not!). Do you think it could be a reasonable argument for the oppposite case to say it was only 10% of the stack and they could fold if the original raiser continued the bet and it was an unfavourable flop? You've probably already guessed who was playing UTG... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think its even a decision tbh. Insta-fold. AJ to a raise is dodgy enough, AJ to a raise and a re-raise is a fold. Fair enough there was a blind raiser, but if you are wrong and the re-raiser isn't just squeezing it then its an expensive mistake. And a call, well you'll never know where your at with a call.

I'll probably have a differant answer for you every time!...but I'd call..... I'd reckon Person one was trying to pick up blind guys bet and push the rest of you out with his large raise. If he had anything amazing then surley he would just call and keep blind guy in the pot and maybe get one or two other callers involved, with a view to betting quite big on the flop. even if it doesnt work out, you can still get away with only losing 10% of your stack.

The Merse Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Actually on the worst luck run for a long time. Constant. Last night I was card dead the entire night. I picked up QQ and KK once, and both times somebody else had AA. I've had AA twice today, bust by K6 and A5. Becoming beyond ridiculous.

Walter Payton Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Crazy to squeeze a blind raise from 2nd position though. AJ is absolute trash. The straddle's such a crazy move anyway though, I wouldn't mind being first to act afterwards - the "blinds" are suddenly worth a whole lot more and if you reraise the standard amount with any two cards, 95% of the time nobody will have a big enough hand to call your raise if they're only going to play with Aces,Kings or Jacks.

DikT. Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Agree with CC. We have a malaysian guy here (spoke about the ******* before) and he straddles nearly every time. I usually try and get next to him now. Nine times out of ten he then tries to defend it with crap so he is usually good for a few bucks during the night!!!!

Strictly speaking this isnt a straddle. The whole point of the straddle apart from inducing more action at a cash game is to get the option of acting last after the BB before the flop. But here the guy just raised blind so hasnt got that option. Though i'd agree with everyone else, You've got to throw your AJ away to the guy re-raising. You dont want to be putting that much in the middle in the first couple of levels with just an AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I'd be folding the AJ, its a decent hand but not worth investing so much with, especially so early. Im sure the second raiser is isolating lighter but I still wouldnt be suprised to see Jacks or AK etc here anyway. Too many hands that have you crushed will be in this guys re-raising range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Payton Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Good to see the different approaches out there... The pot ended up being huge. After person 2 called on the button, the big blind and UTG also decided to come along (the pot was over 5000). Flop comes K,Q,10 with 2 clubs.... Initial raiser shoves (which I think could be another debating point!) and A,J (who has obviously flopped the straight) calls. BB and UTG fold and the initial raiser turns over K,K for top set. Unfortunately for them, the board doesn't pair and person 2 takes a massive pot of over 30,000 chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty2442 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Fixed Limit anyone play this? tried it last night and its pretty mad...check and your dead! I hate Limit holdem with a passion. I don't mind the odd game of stud, But it has to be pot limit omaha or NLHE for me. And whenever ive played HORSE it seems to be that Razz is my best limit game, which is strange as its the one game ive never played outside horse. Ive always thought that it must be so much easier to become profitable online playing in the lower limits of omaha or stud cas games, than it is in no limit holdem, as there are bound to be less "experts" and quite a few people like myself who only sit down and play the odd game to get away from holdem for a bit who can be exploited. But ive never had the time or the bankroll to give it a serious shot. And i'll never be a succesful player as despite knowing all about bankroll management ive never had the discipline to stick to it. Nor do I have the discipline to play my best poker for weeks on end, I can do well for several days then once again the good discipline, the strategy and desicion making goes out the window. I start doing that thing where you say..he's got this hand and im beat...and then call anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaka_22 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Came 2nd last night, 440 to the good. I have never seen one man get so much luck in all my life as I did with a guy who was playing last night, he was absolute steaming and just playing any two cards. He called a boys raise all-in (he had kings) with 8 2 diamonds, hits his flush. Called 2 all-ins (pocket tens and kings) with J 2 of hearts and hits his straight on the river with the last ten in the deck. There was countless other ones. He went to the final table with over 200,000 chips. Thankfully when we got to the final table I had the perfect seat as he was sitting right beside me on my right handside, so when it was folded round to me and him in the blinds I managed to double myself up off him a couple of times.

Steaming, saying that you "had to gamble" if you play poker.. He raised my BB to 1000 when its 25/50 and I had AA, I re-raised to 3500 and he calles. Flop is 10,J,3 .. I push all in and he calls with 8 9 off suit.. and hits... took all my chips and went on his jammy run. Still raging!

Scallywag Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I always have a look at this thread to see how you guys have been getting on. I have been playing online with Ladbrooks for about a year although I have only played for fun, usually in the sit n goes. I have won a few tournaments over the year, I think the biggest was about $300 so it's all pretty low stakes. I now think I am ready to start playing a little bit more seriously so I am going to try and build up a bit of a bank roll playing in the no-limit games. Last night I qualified for the $150,000 tournament on Sunday so I am looking forward to testing myself in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Merse Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 ty its a long day playing the double or nothings ...but if u win em good stuff. do u not play 3 or 4 at a time if thats your brew? Double your money SNG's drain the life out of me. Absolutely no play in them whatsoever. Seriously make me want to give up poker, do not have the patience for them. Folk desperately trying to hold on for a place then everyone is in when the blind start cranking up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously make me want to give up poker, do not have the patience for them. Folk desperately trying to hold on for a place then everyone is in when the blind start cranking up. Your spot on. If you need to spend a day or two slowly adding to your bankroll then there pretty simple, but they are the most boring games ever invented. Im finished with them for the time being. I really only seem to get excited and have fun playing live or playing online tournaments these days. It must be the lure of the big payouts. Im going to play different types of tournies and satellites to bigger tourneys, and when my bankroll falls below a certain level, i'll revert back to the doubles or nothings.

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?
