Day 9
  TianYuan, Aug 09 2008



http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501633 - Standard? He was like, 70/20/3, pretty loose.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501663 - lol this wasn't really planned (ie it wasn't like "I'm gonna bet small to induce" it was "I'm gonna bet small to get him to call with his 3rd pair"), but I'm obviously snapcalling after making such a small bet.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501617 - grosssssssssss..... I think I have to bet turn tho?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501611 - Bleh, I thought he was completely FOS here, last time he flopped top set he donked out pot then checked a boat turn.. Meh.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501607 - Sort of obvious but he had played like 12 hands straight since joining the table..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501586 - Meh. 50/20ish guy but not seen him before and first reraise.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501589 - Nit-rage-I'm-not-folding mode engaged.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501596 - Owned take 3

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501582 - Sorry~_~

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501599 - I guess I'm an idiot, Babygrand!

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501588 - Nice flop! Although I didn't realize I had 2 pair here, I might not have shoved then.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501657 - When I first saw his hand I missed the 9 and was wondering WTF he was doing with a bare top pair no kicker.

Ran good today, I'm green for PLO 1/2 now =]


It would probably be less ugly looking if I played better

In other news I'm starting to get the old wanderlust again. That is, shopping around for new pokersites to play! Playing on stars is fun, but longterm it's stupid, paying taxes when you don't have to just because you like the software is, well, dumb.

So it needs to be european:

iPoker Network <- Already have money here.. And it's probably my best choice, huuuuge network, a million 2/4 and 3/6 NL tables (although I think most tables are bad ), and decent #s of tables for PLO up to 1/2.. Not so many at 2/4.
PartyPoker <- Not sure PLO traffic is great here..
Ongame <- not being able to reload without sitting out sounds lifetilting, I'm never playing here.
Svenska spel <- Playing on a site with only swedes sounds like a bad idea but maybe I'm wrong, are the games good here?
IPN (Boss Media) <- no clue.
Microgaming Network <- Hrm, I don't love the software and I dunno how much plo traffic they have.
Entraction Network (24h) <- I think I heard this is mostly just full of swedish nits?
Betfair Poker <- Software is :[ Not sure how the traffic is for PLO.
CryptoLogic Network <- I like playing here but the traffic isn't great (fine for 2/5 NL, dunno about PLO)) and the 2/5 games, used to at least, be full of nothing but nitty regs for NL..
Ladbrokes <- Is merging with microgaming.

I really feel like just putting all my money on william hill again and playing half/half PLO/NL.. they have enough games for that at least

Day 8
  TianYuan, Aug 08 2008


Almost even on 1/2 now, just another buyin and a half.. I think I played good most of the time today, was slightly tilted for a while but regrouped fairly quickly.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501006 - I REALLY thought he had quads heh, but with the odds I figured oh well, maybe he has QQ/KK enough of the time..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501008 - I know a few days back I had some silly hand where I shoved a trashy flushdraw on a paired board in a 3bet pot for 100bb (and got it in drawing almost dead to AA with a flushdraw), but in this case I SHOULD shove right?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501017 - I regret betting here, I had won the last two pots and I remember from an earlier session that he check/raised me the 3rd (or so) time I had raised his limp/raised in general.. I feel like if I cbet here, with how much I felt like he was itching to c/r, I shouldn't be folding.. Which might be pretty spewy so a check behind is probably best.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501018 - I'm very happy with this hand~

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501021 - I'm not sure if these types of bluffs are great, but it worked this time at least.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501024 - Hmm, maybe I should bet turn again, 45 probably doesn't raise me, and for him to call on the flop and now have the high end of the straight he'd have to have 89T* and I have two 8s so that's fairly unlikely, I guess he could have 9T** with clubs too.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501030 - Yuck. Bet/fold turn > c/c? He's 13/8/1.8

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501034 - Standard or should I call because his shove range should include more draws than Ax hands? Is KK44 double paired/single suited an alright 3bet or do I really need them to be double suited? Fwiw, TheAndOn was a very loose aggressive player.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501041 - I hate folding here, I see visions of him turning QJ into a bluff before my eyes.. I considered c/ring river briefly to fold out KT (or 9T if he'd bet that..he sort of instapotted it). But he can have AT himself so meh.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501043 - Should I bet turn you think? Am I being too scared of the nutflush when I have the 2nd nuts? With this many people in, do you think this board is better to c/r (since it's quite an action board)?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501044 - Felt good to do this after the last hand I'm not sure I should be potting in these spots, in hold'em I would probably jam here a lot (since nobody folds a boat or trips ever here) but do you think I I'll actually fold out some low boats here?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501046 - Bluuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh? Fold flop? It's like, a super small raise I feel dirty folding with that many outs On the turn I have like a bazillion million different outs (something like 40% equity vs the nuts).. Meh.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501054 - Same guy as above.. now he c/raises me pot. Get it in or call? I have 17 outs but I suppose I'm kinda cooked vs 6789 or 5678.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501062 - Same guy as above, this whale just owned me every hand. I was a bit tilted at the time, I think my turn bet is *really* terrible in retrospect, I don't really get a call from worse. I'm unsure about the river, maybe it's a call? Such a weirdly played hand =[

I have no idea what to make of his different lines/betsizes in the three hands. I don't think I got to see anything he showed down..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501055 - I don't think I want to get it in here, so this is probably standard.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501051 - Should have bet river.. I didn't think he was gonna fold after he snapcalled me on the turn tho. Oh well.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501063 - Aboo. Standard/not standard? Like, I have the blocker for the nut flush obv but even so, it's a 3bet pot, people probably don't fold any flush here. And I'm pretty much drawing dead vs a flush..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501064 - It's just hilarious how he doesn't raise me with the nuts.. :D Maybe he missed out on the fact that he had 99?? I don't know.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501081 - Reraising this preflop would probably be alright? Post flop I think it's played ok after the ace comes, because he's gonna bluff that a ton.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501084 - Am I missing out on value by not betting bottomset here? I'm not overly scared of him drawing two streets with a straightdraw on double flushdraw board but still.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501207 - Pretty early in the session but I had noticed he was very aggressive iirc.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/501209 - I think I like this a lot, the lead looks fairly FOS, and this way I'll get it in very good if he does happen to have the NFD.

I'm slightly ahead of schedule (8.9k hands after only 8 days of playing, or actually after only 6 days of playing and 2 days break, but still) and really enjoying poker which is awesome, been a while since I enjoyed grinding

weird confrontation
  nolan, Aug 08 2008

was playing in a 5/10/20 live game at foxwoods (well, ive been playing all week).

foxwoods dealers split tips so typically i'll wait until i'm done for the session and toke them whatever loose change i may have off an even stack, if you get what i'm saying. (if i have 8,125 to cash out, i'll tip 25 as i get up etc.)

last night it was pretty late, like 3am, and some tourist guy who kept buying in for 500 and busted a few times decides after i win a $120 pot in a blind vs blind situation to let me know in about the rudest tone possible that "You can tip the dealers once in a while." The exact statement was something like "Not to be offensive kid, but you know you can actually tip the dealer once in a while, right?"

What's odd to me about this situation is that there were some other regulars at the table who I'd played with before who follow the same tipping method I do. There were six or seven of us at the table, and three of us didn't tip per pot, so I was initially confused as to why this man seemed to target me on this particular point.

I responded with "Listen, you paddle your canoe, I'll paddle mine." to which he started epicly blowing up and telling me that dealers work for tips, he knows we don't tip in Canada (ROFL, how the fuck does he figure I'm Canadian? No idea) that I have no business being in this game if I'm not going to tip, yadda yadda etc. etc.

I'll leave the results out for now, just curious about what your play would be here?

Day 7
  TianYuan, Aug 07 2008

Took a couple of days break but since I played 3k hands instead of the usual 1k before I did, I'm still on track handwise.


I feel like I start playing poorly after about.. 5-600 hands, I guess it could just be that I started off running good and that's why I feel that way, but it just felt like I was too passive and not paying as much attention as I should. Maybe it's an effect of all my tables finally kicking in (ie at the start of my session I'll be on 2-3 tables with 2-3 waitlists).
Maybe I should stick to 4 until I get better..

I really tightened up out of position today as I think that's where I was leaking the most, that and playing trashy QQ/JJ type hands.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500500 - Not sure I'm deep enough to c/r the river so I elected to just bet it and hope to fold out 2 pairs or maaaaaaybe a straight.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500509 - Not quite getting odds to boat up so maybe I should fold this turn..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500518 - He snapcalled the turn so I decided to call river, I didn't think he'd flat turn with just a straight draw that often..

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500519 - Here's a situation I'm not sure about: I have extremely trashy jacks and a fish limps.. Can I overlimp in position or it just gonna be too spewy to play this hand as a pure setmine?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500541 - All I can say about this hand is "wtf mate?"

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500547 - I hate these hands oop. Call/call/fold seems.. so weird. Call/fold seems terribly exploitable as well not to mention he's gonna valuebet bottomset on the turn. Call/call/call with no history or read on him seems terrible as well. I ended up call/fold which I immediately regretted.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500559 - Turning hand into a bluff on turn seem ok?

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500563 - I should probably make some really weird tiny bet on the river since he more or less never has a better hand here.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500566 - I'm not sure if this is really terrible or really expert by me.. But I decided to bet turn as a bluff to get him to fold something like overpair+fd or a better jack+fd.. I thought for sure he'd get it in with a set on the flop but when he then raises this turn.. I dunnom, I think I'm drawing to (maybe) a jack so I fold. Is it better to check down? No idea how to react to a river bet tho.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500573 - Seems standard (I'm bluffing btw, in case anyone new to plo happens to think I'm valueraising).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500583 - I'm not sure if I should bet here because he's somewhat likely to have a queen if he had some kind of SD (say QJXX) or check because a flushdraw missed. He's like 80/1 something, and I saw him c/c bottom set+2nd nut fd on 3Q9 3 way before, then call a c/r and c/c a blank turn so he's not really one to play sets fast. Actually in this case I think he was worried he was behind because he thought for a while on the turn, dunno dont think he was slowrolling. Anyway I'm I thought if he had slowplayed a set he'd for sure bet here and I could c/r.. Meh I'm not sure if his river check is really expert or really bad.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500601 - Really regret 3betting here, it chases the super deep 80/1 fish out of the pot

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500624 - Is the initial preflop call bad with a gap at the top? Once it gets 3bet, should I be at all worried about flopping dominated draws etc 3 way or just standard call (I'm thinking it's a very standard call but for some reason I made a weird fold..).

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500628 - H m ~ I should probably be getting it in here considering stacksizes.. Would a lead be ok to try to get him off AA**? Maybe it's transparent but it's not like I have any fold equity once he bets anyway.

http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/500649 - Check/raising or betting.. On the one hand, someone could reason that it's hard for me to have a hand I'll bet all three streets with that loves this river and maybe turn something into a bluff and raise me.. On the other hand he did like to draw. On the 3rd hand, maybe he doesn't bet a weak flush.

Overall I'm down just under 3 buyins at 1/2 PLO this month, which is alright considering my relative freshness to PLO and all. There's a nice post on 2p2 about PT analysis (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthread.php?t=1729) and setting up categories in PTO (at page 2, I think, there's a list you can copy paste so you don't have to set them up yourself).

I noticed I'm down a ton with QQ / JJ type hands since moving up to 1/2, I think part of it is that they ran into quads a couple of times (JJ twice, QQ once) but it might also be that sets don't get paid off as well at 1/2 as at lower limits..

strike 3...
  eightfourO, Aug 07 2008

so after that dick bag ruined my br by telling people to call my bluff (i know him irl, he will receive that ass beating of a lifetime) i have to regather the troops and begin to rebuild the br to the monster (small monster) that it was. Basically, i haven't had a winning month in the last 2 months, and i think i finally figured out why. I am playing great, but its not me. I play best when i'm tight/aggressive. The big roll got to me and i was being more loose/passive. I can't play loose/passive...it's not the right match for me. I played T/AG the other night IRL and totally dominated by coming back from $8 and made a 150% increase from what i bought in with. Thats my game, and i'm sticking to it. All this "calling b/c i have outs" and "i'm pot commited" bullshit is going to end. I'm going to play better, post winning session, and fuck my financial status to pieces. Right now i'm financially embarssed. You know who my hero is on here?? Fuckin F4zI. Know why?? Dude spends like 50K on a purse thing and is like "i hope it doesn't get stolen" and you know what? he says FUCK YOU, i'm a baller, i can do this. If it gets stolen, i'll play poker for 10 minutes, cash out, and buy a new one". I always see him post shit like "i lost 10K today, but it's alright b/c in an hour i played 6 hu tables and am up 30K...cuz i'm a fuckin baller"

Thats going to be me in a year or two.
So fuck off odds/pot commitment, i'm ready to ball out of control, and play great poker, and hang out at the WSOP with Ket and Milkman and Elky, and get shitfaced and wake up 2 hrs later and play poker w/ the best and kick their ass. Donkeytest.com said my poker IQ is 104 which is not less than 70 which is above legal retardation, and thats the goal.

June And July (the months you can't spell without JEW) are over, it's August, I'm 21 in December, I'm going to run like a madman at the table, and play correctly, and FUCKIN BALL NIGGA!!!!!!


list of shit i want to buy...

This guy slow rolled me with quads, then made a straight vs my top set. YAY.
http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/498743

Oh you want to know something else that's just delightful? Sitting on the wrong side of an 80/40 and an 80/22 and missing every flop every single time.

--;

I know 7 buyins isn't exactly unheard of in omaha but come on... boat vs quads THREE TIMES in one day?

I might abort the august grind just because I don't want to play on tilt. We'll see.

Btw I in no way blame this solely on variance, I am a tagfish when it comes to omaha, huge leaks, but the beats were fairly brutal today.

EDIT: Here's my total graph for omaha, I find the end pretty hilarious :D

Day 4
  TianYuan, Aug 04 2008

Lol I'm stuck and want to play more! So I might.


Whenever I am at a table where people minraise I just end up being a super weak passive =[ Played pretty bad vs them. Next session I play I'm gonna try to play less pots from the blinds, even to minraises. At least with the hands that aren't gonna flop strong enough multiway to continue with even when I do hit the flop a little bit.

I need to take some time before I make decisions, I noticed I made a few bluffs or calls where I really wasn't thinking through the situation anywhere near properly..

Hands

Maybe I should bet this hand on the flop, at first I thought I had just the bottom end and was going to c/f. Hrm, although getting blown off sucks so I guess this is fine too..
+ Show Spoiler +



Snapcalled on every street, I think I should abstain from making these bluffs without some kind of read.
+ Show Spoiler +



Here we have another hand where I'm thinking but not really thinking.. IE, I'm thinking "my hand looks weak.. I block AA, I call" when I could just as well think "my hand looks like a jack, and he's potting, he probably has something". Bleh, I guess I don't HATE it because it's a very weird line..
+ Show Spoiler +



Call, snapcall, instashove.. I almost wanted to call since I had the Ah but he's a super loose passive fish.
+ Show Spoiler +



I think a 3bet preflop here would be pretty good, on the flop I think call is for the best.. On the river I can probably valuebet something at least.
+ Show Spoiler +



Hrmmmmmmmmmmmm. Hrmhpg. Villain is 19/2/6. Bet/call turn? c/c turn? If c/c turn, c/c any river -.-? Bleh I really didn't want to fold this but his stats looked so nitty. I mean, I GUESS there's a bunch of flushdraws he could play this way now that I checked to him.. I don't know.
+ Show Spoiler +



This felt weird, sort of like a float.. I sort of wanted to call here.
+ Show Spoiler +



Biggest spew of the day Note to self: you don't have to shove trashy flushdraws on paired boards just because it's a 3bet pot.
+ Show Spoiler +



Oh come on, why did you slowplay!
+ Show Spoiler +



Flipaments.
+ Show Spoiler +



Can probably fold turn.
+ Show Spoiler +



Raised too big on turn.
+ Show Spoiler +



This hand happened at the same time as the hand above, so I pretty much snapcalled. I'm not sure it's great.
+ Show Spoiler +



Maybe I need to check behind this river... I didn't really put him on a boat on turn since he didn't raise flop (but 9T probably doesn't, which is something I never remember). However, hands like QJTX etc did hit on river. Ah well..
+ Show Spoiler +



Raise/calling this flop this deep seems potentially extremely gross, so I elected to flat.
+ Show Spoiler +



To quote day[9]: push button, recieve bacon.
+ Show Spoiler +



Ended up making what's probably a really bad fold here, heh. Didn't really think I could valuebet it and with two people in I felt like the NF was bound to be out there. But a call is probably mandatory with these odds..
+ Show Spoiler +



Donkbets like this confuse me to no end. . . Briefly considered shoving river since his hand does sort of look like 2 pair~ish, problem is I guess he could have also picked up a flushdraw on turn..
+ Show Spoiler +



I want this guys luckbox..
+ Show Spoiler +



A momentary lapse of reason.
+ Show Spoiler +



Coolers/beats
+ Show Spoiler +



Top boat vs quads, oh well!

dumb situation
  Reload, Aug 03 2008

FT of a big tourny (like 5k buyin or something), you're 5/9. you're dealt AA in the BB. preflop action is like 5 people go all in, including the chip leader, 3rd place, and the 7-9th place small stacks. prize difference between 6th and fifth is like 300k, and fifth and first is like 2 mill. snap call or suicide fold?

me and my friends argued about this so what do you guys think

Day 3
  TianYuan, Aug 03 2008

Oh yeah, need to make one of these. I'm tired tho so probably won't be as long as usual. I felt like I played bad (for the last half of the session anyway) but won money anyway so that's always fun.


Lol@W$WSF and fold bb to steal #s. I think there was a ton of minraising being done so I was like calling a ton of only-just playable hands and folding when I brick the flop 5 way..

I think for future sessions I'll keep off msn, I'll save asking for advice until after the session (I was talking to Nuros about a couple of interesting hands and I realized my play was really slipping, but the hand was interesting so ;p bah).
In addition I had this cursed table, you know, the one where you NEVER win anything EVER? 12% w$wsf after 100 hands, pretty awesome (yes I realize it's a tiny sample and I could have not seen many flops at all in that time but I did and I kept getting raised or floated everytime).

Hands - will try to keep it a little shorter this time

What should I do here? I know some are gonna suggest 3bet preflop but I'm not super keen on getting 4bet with a hand that doesn't really fair great vs AA**.. That being said, am I supposed to call here? We do have quite a lot of money behind and I'm in position..
+ Show Spoiler +



Happy with this call.
+ Show Spoiler +



Vs multitabling TAG looking guy.. I'm not sure what to put down for his range, like if I want to give him FDs, 7s, 66** and maybe some wraps.. but I can't give him just {77**}.. So yeah I'm gonna have to play around on propokertools.com and see what kind of equity I can find vs a reasonable range. On the one hand it's a board where people aren't supposed to bluff raise a ton, on the other hand it's a flop where I'm probably always cbetting. Hrmph.
+ Show Spoiler +



Hold'em roots showing through - I didn't even consider the wheeldraw as part of his range cuz, wheeldraws are gutshots right!? Well, not in omaha.. So I put him on something that made more outs on the turn / made 2 pair on the turn and was like ahhhhhh fuck it, gambool I'm probably almost flipping anyway. So turns out I wasn't, oops!
+ Show Spoiler +



But I donated it back so it's ok. I think maybe I should have waited for a brick turn to stick it in. The guy is 80/20 btw so I wasn't particularly worried about AA
+ Show Spoiler +



This was funny, I had to double check I hadn't misread my hand because I couldn't believe someone would take this line with one of the weaker sets in this spot lol.
+ Show Spoiler +



This is like the last hand I played yesterday, except it's the first hand I played today (.. which has now become yesterday since it's 3 am). Except in reverse.
+ Show Spoiler +



One of the best parts of omaha.. Although I don't think I have to make it that big..
+ Show Spoiler +



I'm sure there were a ton more interesting hands but I'm too tired for those right now.

Oh and if the level designer of Gears of War happens to be a poker player, and if he happens to read this, I just want you to know you are a bigger tilt inducer than KK vs AA. In heads up.

(the level where you first meet the Theron Guard or whatever they are called, gaaaaaah I want to smash something -
1) the spawn point is about 2 minutes walk from any actual enemies
2) everytime you die, you have to sidetrack and pick up the new weapon you get.
3) your AI partners are slow as slugs at the beginning because they have to discuss the scenery. Everytime. And you can't bypass it. Also, your main AI partner is a suicidal berseker who tries to charge the enemy and attack them with his chainsaw. This invariably leads to him dying and me dying because he managed to draw all of them out at once.
4) Arrows. With explosives. That attach to you and kill you. And you can't do anything about them.

Still a pretty fun game ;p

Also, I momentarily blacked out and forgot how to calculate pot odds when someone overbets so in shame I started watching the Mathematics of Hold'em series on Deucescracked. Then I realized I was a fucking idiot and had just missed a really super basic step which is why it wasn't working (OF course you're gonna get a weird number when you are not adding the riverbet to the pot you fucking fish!).

I'm still gonna watch those tho, cause my math is atrocious =]

I said i would post this twice so that everyone got a chance to read it... The guy just sent me 15 bucks... it was a 50 dollar pot so i guess thats like 3/5 of what i put into it?? better than nothing i guess.

Hey everyone, i wanted to say a few things following up on my events today. First off, i want to appologize for disrespecting everything LP stands for. I completely embarassed myself earlier for the following quote which will be censored out.

Obv, i was upset. I am going to report him, because that should not happen. I find that playing 10/25 is much easier to play than 2nl 5nl 10nl b/c they are soft tables with nits and it's very easy to tell what they have. My br is not ready to multitable, but i had the confidence that i could very easily win @ 1-2 tables, and i did. I have made a very nice profit, but now that this has happend, i am going back down. I took a hit in the BR, its about 40 bucks less than where i started at because of the incident today, plus KK vs AA didn't work out, and there were a couple other coolers/bad beats that hit today as well.

Anyway, i'm going to work my way up back to about $250 in the BR and try 10/25 again, but thats beside the point. The main reason for this post is to appologize. The way i figure it, there are always going to be people looking at this website to see if they want to join, and i just scared off potential members, and gave our community a bad reputation. This is something that i was not at all trying to do, i just needed to blow up some steam, and i did it in the wrong way by embarassing myself and Liquidpoker. This will not happen again.

I will copy/paste this post again sometime in like 12 hours that way everyone on both sides of the world can have a chance to read it b4 it gets bumped off the list of blogs.

Again, i am sorry for offending everyone, and hope that i can be forgiven and my reputation as a stupid gun totting american (texan) will remain unscathed.






In the world of poker... i played my bi-weekly cash game with my co-workers today, .25/.50 blinds, bought in with 30 b/c no one realizes that the min/max needs to be 25/50... and everyone bought in with 20...so i didn't want to be rude and get $50 in chips, but i sure as hell wasn't about to short myself, and i'm glad i didn't...
Within the first 30 minutes i was down to 8 dollars when 33 vs AA on an A35 board... I was in mid position, SB raised pf 1.50, i called along with 2 others. Flop comes Ad 3s 5s...SB leads with 2.50 into a $6.50 pot. Fold, i reraise to $7.50... Dealer thinks long and hard, but ended up folding As 2s... SB reraises all-in for another $9.75... I call and flip over trip threes, she flips over trip A's and i am down to 8 bucks...

The good news though is i managed to take that 8 dollars and turn it into 47. I gave 2 to a friend since we couldn't make change so i left up 15 bucks. I'm proud that i came back from short stack and made some cash...

Other than that, thats it. Again, i'm sorry for what i did, and it won't happen again...



I leave you with Whiplash, the cowboy monkey.







you know what i'm doing!!!!!!!!!!!

Day 2
  TianYuan, Aug 02 2008



Very happy with my play today overall, would have been up 200$ more but the last hand I played I ran AA** into another AA** and some random hand, and lost. Oh well, c'est la vie

Was able to 6 table so it took just under 3 hours, might up the amount of hands I play per day or just do it like this then play some HU later in the day.

Hands! - comments appreciated.

I felt a c/r here could get him to call some hands like sets (and hopefully fold them on blanks), flushdraws etc (although I dont really want fds to call ) while folding out 2 pair, overpairs, or other hands that are ahead of me. I dunno what I think about calling, my flush outs are a) going to be very obvious b) might not be good, although I do have a gutshot.. And I could bluff at paired boards I suppose.
+ Show Spoiler +



I think this is ok, was a bit hesitant about betting turn. Would *really* suck to get bluff c/red by like the Kc here tho On the other hand, charging a set might be a good enough reason to bet.. But I'm probably only getting one street from a straight (if that, and most likely on the river) AND a set might call me on the river if I check back turn.
+ Show Spoiler +



I was considering if I could call turn and bluff spades if they came in (assuming I didn't boat), but I wasn't sure it'd be believable for me to call two pot bets with just a flushdraw. On the other hand, I'm an unknown so maybe I'd get credit for that.
+ Show Spoiler +



This fold feels verrrrry dirty because he's really only repping two hands - KK** with an ace high diamond flushdraw (or possibly Ad blocker) or AA** with diamonds. Of course on flop and turn he can have just the ace high draw but when he pots a board pairing card I don't think he has just a flush (esp. since my line could EASILY be a set). I don't know if he'd naked ace bluff (he's 20/3.5/1.5 over 1k hands) and I don't know if on the river he'd realize it's not really a great spot to continue bluffing with it since he'd be repping a different hand from what he had earlier etc.. Bleh. I don't like folding here but it seems correct vs someone so tight..
+ Show Spoiler +



I think because I'll dominate some of his draws, that this can't be too bad.
+ Show Spoiler +



If he bets this flop, I have to.. fold? I thiiiiink? Now that he checks flop, can I bet turn or is he trapping too often? He seemed like a regular btw. If I had a better flushdraw should I be calling one or is it really more of a question of "if you think his 3betting range is almost only AA, fold, if not, you should push", that type of deal?
+ Show Spoiler +



Am I better off just bet/folding this, charging some draws.. I feel like if I c/c then it's like saying "sup, I have some mediocre shit with outs, feel free to pot pot pot me out of the pot". And calling to bluff is meh because one of the hands he gets a license to pot pot pot me with is a flushdraw so bluffing hearts isn't gonna be great. =/
+ Show Spoiler +



Pretty much standard I would think.. How deep do I have to be to consider doing anything else?
+ Show Spoiler +



Am I betting too thin here? Perhaps I'm better off not charging a set here (if he has one) and just checking, which might get me one more street vs a set anyway, and allows me to pick off some bluffs + strengthens my check. Reason I'm asking is I seemed to be getting raised on the turn a whole lot when I was betting marginal hands. That being said, there IS a flushdraw out there..~ Maybe I should even be willing to call down, a turn minraise just seems so much like the nuts tho.
+ Show Spoiler +



Same as above sort of.. Although this might be an even clearer check. I was thinking I could fold out some hands that beat me (small overpair, a good jack, a better flushdraw) and if he has a 5 that isn't a boat he's gonna check/call and not c/r.. Etc. Meh, I would like to see a river tho
+ Show Spoiler +



I'm not sure if I should be raising flop here, I felt like keeping worse draws in was fine.. Turn I'm getting such a sweet price so ez call. River.. well, I don't think he bets a set on the turn (and I think he raises it on the flop), so I only think I'm beat if he had a better two pair with his straight.
+ Show Spoiler +



Villain is realllly fishy, I felt compelled to call river after checking turn (which I'm not sure I should be doing, but then , I didn't think I'd get called by a ton). I'm unsure what my equity here is vs the nuts (a straight), but the fact that my flushdraw isn't to the nuts might be an argument against raising flop (edit: pokerstoving vs the nuts I'm only 40% so ye, I'm not sure how awesome getting it in here would be really :D). I guess I can get it in vs set+fd or 2 pair+fd type hands which I *think* I have in pretty bad shape.
+ Show Spoiler +



Argh, I dunno if I played this awfully or not. I didn't want flop to get checked around since, well, half the deck sucks on the turn (or more). But I don't think I can call a snapshove from a solid player with just top 2 on this flop, I'm gonna be sooooo cooked a lot of the time it's not even funny.. Feels like a waste of money to bet 50 and fold tho =p Blah.
+ Show Spoiler +



Vs a full pot bet I would have certainly raised flop, now I'm not sure. I *thiiiink* I need to lead the turn here tho..
+ Show Spoiler +



I think I like my line here vs a quite aggressive reg type player..
+ Show Spoiler +



Not sure if preflop is too loose. I like my post flop play tho, since I don't think he can have a boat (maybe a turned set).
+ Show Spoiler +



This hand is sooooooo god damn pretty.. but it's also pretty crappy vs AA.. should I fold?
+ Show Spoiler +



Eh, vs a minraise it's pretty meh~ but getting it in seems fairly stnd.
+ Show Spoiler +



Maybe this is a trivially easy fold.. but at the same time he's probably betting everything he 3bets here and vs AA I have 33% equity. Meh. Probably not worth it with the fd out there.
+ Show Spoiler +



Various
I was thinking how I was going to snap get it in here vs either player but then he did this loooooong timebank/pot which was super scary. But I decided he was crazy enough that I wasn't gonna fold.
+ Show Spoiler +



Always nice when your draw has more equity than a set
+ Show Spoiler +



Awwwww come on ! Last hand before the blinds hit me and I'm about to sit out. AA** vs AA** vs stuff. Of course all my 7s are dead too haha.
+ Show Spoiler +



Feels good to at least be putting a reasonable number of hands in each day
