4 confirmed.. you still playing?

[Walter Payton]

Just for the record, I'm still blaming Kaka! I eventually finished 2nd at my table- but not until we'd played for 5 and a half hours! I'd actually been told that even winning the table wouldn't have got my team into the points, but I only found out after that if I'd taken the extra 2 points for first we'd have finished 3rd . TBH though Neil kept on hitting his cards when we were heads up, so I'm not convinced I could have finished first anyway.

[Era Macaroons]

Yes ..KAKA ...where were u? let down the team

 

Clum was comendeered to another team leaving DMCg Smallstack and myself to go for it with a weak a weak Oz couple who promptly went out:mad:

 

After our (ex)capit ano (Big) went out leaving only two players in the team at an early stage i chucked it...no point

 

D MCG continued and won his table easily...perhaps with the freedom that enjoys but non the less was well ahead before losing was an issue

 

 

however cash tables returned stake n more....

 

highlight was dmcg throwing his chips in , guy was in a dilema i said id go 1/2s with him (?5 each) which we did , n won sorry D

Dude that was poor patter telling him to call, I knew he'd raised with a rubbish hand and he'd have folded if it wasn't for u!

 

Played the tourney tonight in the end, I swear to god never been so card dead in my life. I did not get two face cards together the whole night. Not one AK, AQ, AJ, AT KQ, KJ, QJ.

 

To play for 4 hours and not see any of those is incredible, two pocket pairs all night.

 

Merde.

remember your sitting at a cash table..i knew u had gash as well, ,,,an the bloke had a hand to fight with...he was tossing n turning about playing it...n it was only for 10

 

the display u made as u threw all your chips in ...was enough for me (high n wild) u defo didnt have a strong hand..

[Bigsmak]

Era,

 

You shouldn't be encouraging the other guy to call. Thats mean.

Well as we said, our two improvised team mates from Oz left very early in the team game and even if D-McG Era and myself won our tables we would not have won any money.

 

So I started going a bit crazy with the chips and lost on my 5th all in, in a row with A8. he he..

 

I'll not play a team game again.

36 points would have got you 3rd;).

 

Know what you mean about the team game though- While I really enjoyed my game regardless, it did suck to have played 6 and a half hours of solid poker(got it wrong earlier, we only finished just before 8) for no return. I was chatting to Neil though and he said for the next one he'll probably introduce a structure where there's a payout for individual tables as well as the team game so people don't just give up when their team no longer have a chance of winning.

I knew I made a bet that would have got that deep voiced git off his hand though untill you intervened!

 

 

It was those god awful chips we were using, didn't feel real!

[The Merse]

Went to the casino pished after Cav for a cash game, even though I said I wasn't doing that anymore

 

Won like 70 quid in the first round of the table, then lost about 40/50 quid after hitting top pair with a King seven when I was in the big blind, ended up having to lay it down on the river after an ace hit and got re-raised big time.

 

Anyway, hand after that was beautiful (for me anyway), guy raised to 4 quid and I called with J8.

 

Flop comes downs:

 

QT9 - rainbow.

 

Just about get a boner at that stage and first to act bets 12 quid, folds round to me on the button and I go 12 with 12, he then pushes all-in, at this point I think oh christ, there is one hand beating me, if he has it fair play I'm going to pay him off as I ain't folding this in a million years, so call for the 100 quid extra, he has QT - 2 pair. Sweated as the turn and river come down but he doesn't make his house

 

Played for about an hour and won around 170 quid, makes up for a poor day yesterday!

[kaka_22]

Yes ..KAKA ...where were u? let down the team

 

Shut up, as of Thursday only me and you confirmed we were playing.

 

Sadly I have an active social life which kicks in at 5pm on a Friday, and seeing as I don't have tinternet access at work I wasn't to know anything had changed.

 

In hindsight we maybe should of passed each other our mobile numbers, but I can't really see how you can blame me for you not making a cash prize.

 

 

Anyways, it's Monday...... defo be playing tonight.

I know...it was a bit mean...but good fun!

 

'Barry White' was indeed gonna fold but was happy to go a fiver each with me.Sorry D!

 

Yeah the team event was a let down. They defo need to have a prize for each table winner to keep folks interest.

Good luck tonight.

Do you guys think it is possible to fold AQ heads up pre-flop?

 

Really getting frustrated with myself at the moment, keep getting heads up in Sit and Go's and then make a royal khunt of it!

[Larry]

yeah it can be folded, but depends on how much is in the pot, how much youve got left, how aggressive your opponent has been playing post flop etc...if youve played it aggressive pre-flop then id definately bet it or raise the guy on the flop..if he moves in on you then fold it if your not commited to make the call...but its difficuilt to say unless you know everything bout the situation

[Bigsmak]

Do you guys think it is possible to fold AQ heads up pre-flop?

 

Very easy indeed. A raise and a re-raise, easy fold! I hate AQ - You'll always be playing against another A and when no Q comes but an A does. Where does your kicker stand? Do they have the K or 2 pair?

 

Another topic but 2 things I re-learned this week, that I 'need' to remember!

 

1 - You need to fully understand the need to not just match the caller but beat them when there has been a raise before you in the hand. It depends on position, players, chip stacks etc... But you need to have a better hand to call with than to raise with.

 

2 - All good poker players do their 'Gambling' on the flop, not forth and fifth streets. - - - The amount of times I have been stung after flopping a set, top two pairs or a straight on the flop, checking it with the intent to raise when I am fist to act and letting people get a free card when no one bets. What always happens is they hit two pair / flush / higher straight draw then I can't get them off the hand no matter how much I bet and I lose huge pots when they hit on the river. I need to learn to bet my hand more.

He was talking about being heads up at the end of a sit and go, so AQ is a monster hand, if he flops his ace then he has to believe he is winning and be happy to get all his chips in.....Some good advice on your other points, i hate flat calling after the flop and like you said it should only be done if you have a Huge hand and are slow playing, or if your up against several players and your getting pot odds to make your hand(flush/straight, sometimes a set but even that might not be good enough)

Yea I re-read it and couldn't edit my post as I was cooking, - stupid policy of not being able to edit your post. Its crap.

 

add this to the top of it

 

Heads up - mmmm Prob not... Depends... Heads up it is a massive hand.. But then again, if your a massive chip lead and he's gone all in.. You could lay it down and give him the blinds... Why let him back into the game when his 44 holds up? If your behind... I don't know... Depends...

 

On a big table its very easy indeed. A raise and a re-raise......

I'm talking heads up and blinds are 100/200 and i raise to 650 and he re-raises to 1300...

 

I felt only move to make was all-in even though he had played pretty tight heads up! The only hand he'd previously re-raised me was when I had 8's and he had aces!

 

Ha, do you think I'm that bad a player that I couldn't fold AQ on a ten seater?

 

AQ is easy to fold, heads up I'm not so sure!

Betting your hand is important, and can actually disguise your hand very well! I often do as you do and slow play my way into trouble whereas a strong bet when you actually have a hand, an overbet sometimes make people think you are weak when you are actually very strong. A check is generally more suspicious than a bet.

Excellent form D McG ....now toddle off to the cash tables and treble it

 

General question for you...(and everyone else) ...why are you playing on Cake? indeed how do you chose which site you are going to play on? Is it better to play on the big sites (eg Pokers stars) or smaller ones (Cake)

 

do you feel certain sites are weaker than others or are you going round them all clearing the sign up bonus?

 

I normally stick to hills or poker stars but considering doing the bonus collection mentioned above.

 

Also Im relativley 'well known' on hills....do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing!! im never quite sure tho probably a good thing...i suppose...I avoid conflict with people I know to be dangerous and hopefully I get a bit of this back. Or is it better to be a wolf in sheeps clothing:confused:

I'd heard that Cake was full of donkeys, not sure where from but the quality does seem pretty poor. I tend to just switch between them for a change, no actual strategy behind it.

 

Played two lost two today though, it's not easy to win when you lose three all-ins when a massive favourite though.

Cant win em all! even when fav

 

Also a point to consider, youll be playing weaker fields in the evening times (fri/sat nights in particular) than you will during the day.

 

daytime players tend to be the folk that are playing all day everyday. Evening players are the same folk but hugely diluted by average joe thats home from work and fancys some fun.

 

this stands out more at sit n gos, tourneys to a lesser extent...and cash (nearly forgot about them) to a larger extent!

[Bigsmak]

Know your site..

 

Know when the americans are on late at night when they might be drunk. Friday and sat late nights is good on the british sites as you get the drunk donks then as well. 3am on a sat on ladbrooks is like finding money in the street.

 

I play Full Tilt almost all the time now as I get 27% rakeback and thats a good deal.

[The Merse]

Had a pretty eventful cash table game at the Circus tonight!

 

Knocked out tourney in around 15th, had 20 quid left in my pocket, which I turned into 60 via roulette.

 

Went to cash table with the 60, folded a few hands, limped with A6 hearts, guy next to me raises 10 quid and pretty much whole table calls so I have to call too. Flop comes AQ6 so checks to me and I push all in. No call but picked up about 60 quid profit from that hand.

 

Up to 120 or so, I limp with KQ when Marcello (idiot) had straddled. Fair few limps and Marcello as i expected raised 20 quid out of the straddle. Usually I'd fold KQ to that bet but not to him. Flop comes QJQ. I bet 50 and get 2 calls. Turn 5 I go all for remaining 50 or so and still 2 calls. River brings a flush which Marcello said he was chasing, he cheered it, my heart sank but he didn't actually have it, my hand was good!

 

Played a few more rounds of the table sitting with around 340 in front of me. I then say when the button arrives at me I'm leaving. Anyway, as is generally the case for me, when I announce I'm leaving in a few hands I seem to get very very playable hands, and tend to lose my profit. I lost around 40 quid with a T9 suited when flopped a straight and a flush draw. Next hand, under the gun I pick up AK suited. Raise to 12 quid. 2 calls. Flop comes KT4, bet 30, guy hums and haws and goes all in for 60, Marcello calls all in (he has less than both of us), so 30 more to me. I call. He doesn;t show cards, Turn comes a blank, river 9. He had QJ and hit a straight.

 

It didn't end there though, next hand and I'm complaining to the table about how whenever I'm winning and say I'm leaving I tend to tilt half my profit away, what do I pick up in the big blind? Yep, pocket aces! Guy raises to 7 quid, couple of calls, I re-raise to 27, and get heads up with original raiser. Flop comes down T74, with 2 spades. I bet 40 quid and he pushes for 130 or so. I call and he has pocket Kings. My aces held.

 

Crazy few minutes of poker, and if that 9 hadn't hit for that straight against me I'd have been leaving around 600 quid up.

 

Still, left 350 up from the game, can't complain too much I guess.

[Bigsmak]

Nice one D-McG

Era,

 

Yes.. its definatly worth shopping around for all the bonuses. Its free money after all. You can make hundreds of dollars if you are prepared to put in the cash and the hours.

 

Best thing to do is to see if there are sign up ones... If you are not a member of Full Tilt let me know if you plan to sign up...

 

Also, I have signed up to about 8 or so sites and after about 3-4 months they send me e-mails with new sign up bonuses. If I wait longer the bonuses get bigger and bigger. Its great.

 

Also, being part of a lot of sites O can play free roles on all of them.

I'm not sure tbh, I haven't been on your table that many times. I'm guessing your similar to me. Tight aggressive, play your big hands strongly.

I suggest you stick with multis as cash is a completely different beast. You will be playing tournament style poker at cash tables which is not good.

[Bigsmak]

in tourneys i trap players.. I get them to push their chips in against me when I have a strong hand. I also use the all in option when I am big stacked to scare people off when I have a draw.. If they call I can still win, if they hit I still have chips left.

 

In Cash games people will call with draws all over the place as they have "value" and can always re-load when they lose it.

 

I'll try a few sessions of $5 and $10 multis and see how I get on.

Murder tonight at the Circus, couldn't buy a card all night and when I did I came up against pocket aces twice. Home before the break, ah well.

 

On another note, over 90 folk in tonight, place was rammed.

Staggered in around midnight for cash game tonight pretty steaming. Just home now, around 270 to the good. It's been a good 8 days or so at the Circus cash games.

 

180 last sunday, 360 on friday, 120 on saturday and 270 tonight, makes about a 900 quid profit in the last week or so at the place in cash games.

 

So much for giving up eh.

 

[DikT.]

Couple of questions.

 

Where is the Circus?

Do you get many women playing?

What is the buy in (if there is one)?

 

I play a lot here (usually against said drunken Americans!!!) on Saturday nights. Won around 1,600 quid in the last 8 weeks. We play 3,000 Naira buy in (about 12 quid). Quite fancy a game when I come home.

 

PS never really tried online, where should a newbie start?

Circus is the new Casino in town, at Fountainpark (next to the bowling)

 

You do get women playing (don't think it's that intimidating but that's from a bloke's perspective!) but the ratio of men to women is normally about 8 or 9 to 1

 

There's a range of games, different nights of the week- think if you look further back in this thread Bigsmak or DMcG has already posted it.

 

Online- Pokerstars or Full Tilt Poker would be the biggest 2 sites, but there's loads out there. Just google online poker and you'll find heaps of sites! Maybe avoid UltimateBet just now though, they're recovering from a bit of a superuser scandal...

Had pocket aces, guy to my right raises to 300. I re raise to 600 (should of bet more but was wanting some action). Big Blind and raiser call.

 

flop was 357 with 2 clubs. both check to me and I bet just under the pot. big blind calls.

 

turn was 5 of clubs. checked to me so I push all in for my remaining chips. I had a feeling like he had a high pocket pair like kings and i didnt want him to draw to a high club.

 

But he called and turned over A9 of clubs for the nut flush.
