The Poker Thread

And then, just before the money, I get it in with 88 vs 7To and he makes a FH




EDIT: Right, I'm going to start dealing with variance. Starting today!

what are people playing tonight?

Football Manager, some 4.40's and a game of checkers.

I'm doing the two NL SCOOP tournaments. In the Big Antes one already and then the 2-day one starts at 10pm

In the 40k as well and will probably also do the 1/4mil. Also in the $1 WSOP ME tournament on Full Tilt.

I've run QQ in to KK 3 times in 2 days

strawberry floating king on the river to beat my 99s.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Had a loyalty league game today - went and shoved short-stack 9d7d into Tens.



First card 9, second 7!

Then two fours on the turn and river.

Took down an 24 man £10 freezeout at casino last night for £125 running well at live tournies.

Well done Slayer! Those are some really good results you've had recently

Last night .

I played a five man £5 live game with friends. Around halfway through, I raise 3.5BB with JTs, get re raised all in for something stupid like 30BB and obviously fold, especially seeing as someone else had called the all in. Original shove shows QTs and I can't remember what the caller had. Flop comes down KsQsQx. Turn is a blank and the river is the strawberry floating Ace of spades. I got shoved off a Royal Flush by QTs.

Then I manage to get to heads up with the same guy who did this to me. After about half an hour I've brought it back from about 20/80 in chips to 45/55. I get AKs. I'm raising, getting re raised and reraising back all the way, especially seeing as I hit an Ace on the flop and then a King on the turn. He's calling me down all the way and then the River is a 7, pairing up with another 7 that had been flopped. The way he acts makes me extremely suspicious so I check after he checks and indeed he shows Q7. Why the strawberry float he was calling such massive bets with just a seven I don't know.

The next and final hand I pick up AJs. He shoves, I call. He shows J9. I'm not the least bit surprised when the Turn is a 9.

Mixed session for me. I play 4 games and get up to $117 with a 1st and 3rd place. Next set of 4 I raise AA utg to 275, big stack re-raises to 700, and button shoves for 1.6k. I call since it's my entire stack and big stack calls as well. Big stack turns over AK and button 44s. Guess what the river is.

Card dead in two others and one of them gets down to the bubble. I have A9 in the sb so shove that and bb turns over AQ. gg ty. Then in the other, after getting my bb raised by the sb every other rotation I shove at him with AQ and he turns over 66s and I miss. gg ty.

At the bubble of the 4th one at the moment. I don't rate my chances too much tbh.

EDIT: Ended up coming 3rd. Meh.

I just can't seem to get anywhere at the moment. It looked like I was going to do well in a $5 Ante Up MTT but then I get it in on the turn against a big stack with 2-pair with my AJ v AQ but the river is a queen giving him a better 2-pair.

They have taken part 1 of this week's HSP down from YouTube but you can watch the other three here: http://www.youtube.com/user/NosebleedPoker

Also tonight there's the $500 added Pokertube tournament on Full Tilt at 8pm. Password is TubeHA, tournament ID 149263403. It was great fun last week, 27 paid from around 150 runners.

Cool, I've reg'd for the Poketube tourney

Edit: I didn't realise it was HA Poker, and pot limit.

Regged for Pokertube. Good job I've been playing quite a bit of PLO recently.

Lost a big pot to a suck out leaving me with 1000 chips which I then shoved with 20BB perhaps on a substandard omaha hand,

We're all out.

Twice I managed to run a straight into a higher straight.

Just bubbled 3 $3 with AK on all of them. Got flushed on one and didn't hit against a small pocket pair in the other two. Bloody annoying.

Been playing turbos recently as I like the rapid decision making process. Still feeling my way though with regards to a few late game shoves and calls but anyway... Hand below both villains is a ridic huge spaz, playing over half of their hands and raising a large majority of these too. I've been fairly tight but I don't think these two are the kind to notice.

Just wondering if I'm going to squeeze here as I did, what the worst hands you lot would be putting money in with?

good luck all

9 tab;ing atm LOLOL
