WEEK 2: NOVA THE SUCK OUT KING

Image

Game 2 Final Hand: My TT vs Nova's 77 vs Bif's A6. Nova turns QUADS. Winning would have pushed me into first place. :(

Also of note was the relative chatter about DML's "fishy play". He did suck out on a few people massively but had his own fair share of bad luck.

Excellent fun and grats to Nova though IMO player of the tourney was slayer. He did of course run pretty well! Some funny hands in there. Suckouts all over the place. Flopped quad jacks once!

The $200,000GTD is starting soon if anyone wants the rail the 3 of us playing!

Oh and apologies for making it turbo >__<

How did the rest of you do? I couldn't see you on Stars...

I just took my friends money too. I could actually read them, which was too many types of awesome :)

Was short stacking from the last 5 of 6, with just 5 BB left at one point, but I always play short stack well (IMO) and took down the heads up with top pair very nicely indeed :D

That Matrix was awesome, thanks again for that guys. I got a bit lucky at the end, yeah, but I thought I played well throughout still.

I watched for a bit, I think Drumstick got the furthest but just missed out on the money.

Personally I think thats worth the call. Why would he raise all in if hes already GOT the flush? I think its a blocking tactic, and you should be calling all day long. If he HAS got the flush, a Queen or an Ace still saves your hide. CALL.

(Thats my opinion anyway)

I'll be trying out the 2.75$ 5K GTD tonight, anyone else fancy it? (Probably)

Oh and anyone know the withdrawing process for Full Tilt? I don't want to stick 50$ in there only to find I can't take anything out.

Satriales, that's a pretty difficult spot. He could be shoving to protect a small flush or possibly with a pair and a flush draw, although an overbet with two people yet to act, one of whom raised, screams a monster. You don't have the odds to call if he does have a flush, so nice fold.

Nova, I think Full Tilt have a minimum withdrawal of $50, or at least they did last time I was on there. They may just be Visa though as that's what I was using.

He hasn't raised all-in he's just put 1/3rd of his stack in. At the time I thought he must of had AA or QQ but he would have raised pre-flop if that were the case, so I think he had a flush with low cards and didn't want another diamond to show up on the turn or river. He has enough to put me all-in and I was currently $3 up on that table so I decided to fold and still be in profit instead of risking it all on a marginal hand.

Its a scary board dont get me wrong, but I still think its a block of the highest kind - and chances are he hasnt got it. Even if he does, a 3, Q or Ace still saves you with an awful lot of chips already commited. CALL!

EDIT - I've already said I think hed try slow playing it first if he had flopped the flush, to see if he could get others to push as well. Thats my other reasoning. Its just too.....OBVIOUS.

What time is this tournament? I just searched for you and don't see you on. :(

As for last night, I came 56xxth. Had less than ten BBs, picked up AK suited when someone had raised, pushed, and called by Kings. Again, no miracle card for me.

Satriales, I'm not cash player, but I'd fold.
