Just lost to AA.

I sort of knew he had it.. but talked myself out of it and kept betting. 1/3 stack lost still in it though.

And now just talked myself into believing the guy didn't have a Q on a flop QQ. Lost 20,000 chips. Need to trust my instinct.

reminds me of a stud hand I heard about where a guy has quad Jacks showing, but keeps getting raised by a guy with only one or two aces showing, and the guy with aces getting really upset that the guy wouldnt fold his jacks or just keep raising (no he didnt have quad aces)

could be an old urban legend though

considering playing all 3 scoops tonight, :hearts: razz

Do not like the play there pre, was there some table dynamic going on? Just begs to be squeezed by someone in latter position after u flat the open and in most tournaments you just dont know where you are with AQ. 3 bet best play? I'd actually prefer a back raise to the villains 3 bet, depending on stats if you are going to flat that open pre, not two calls, but 3 bet pre by far the better play. Think the only spot I'd flat with AQ there is from the BB, and add it to our defending range from there to strengthen that range, given we should be defending pretty often and wide from the BB.

yeah 3betting is def a good option, cant remember table dynamics except the guy that spewed pre was very aggro, looking back getting a 3bet or backraise in there could be a better optionm though I dont think flatting is awful or anything

got 4th in $51 hyper just now for 2.4k which is a nice start to the morning
 
basically stone bubbled the 215 PLO zoom, jammed KK5x onto 5566 and lost, found a 6

finished 204/198 paying but wouldnt probably been another hand or two max if I semi stall, but anyway

good to get a 2k+ score and a profitable day
 
I played Saturday night (all night), didn't sleep then played live on Sunday afternoon evening, ended up about $400 profit overall so not sure if that was worth it. Slept it off, pulled another all-nighter Monday night/Tuesday, then played until about 4.30 am this morning. So not the sharpest today, but it doesn't excuse this abysmally played hand, where I should have got villains stack:

I've been playing mainly cash, played a couple of the micro SCOOPs, but not focused on tournies right now (perhaps I should be given Vegas is coming up not that far down the track). I hadn't played cash in sometime and you really lose those cash skills pretty quickly - sort of a use it or lose it thing. Most of my cash games have been on 888, I started off on Stars some years ago but just wasn't good enough and punted off too much $ playing 100NL, but after playing hundreds of thousands of hands I'm now an adequate cash player, hands above aside.

What played into the hand above was I have been working strengthening my donk bet and c/c ranges so I'm balanced, but versus a fish there really is just no need to be, think its just one of those spots you can shovel in as much money as quickly as possible and expect to get paid off 80% of the time, not necessarily vs a hand as strong as what he had on the flop, but also vs the large part of his range as well.

Yeah my sleeping really revolves around poker at the moment like yours - will be having a break Sunday to Wednesday next week as I'll be in Sydney, but until then will be hitting it pretty hard in between sleeps.
 
I should mention a few months ago I had a plan to play tournaments in the run up to the ME, but in the end I just found them too *ed. I found these huge winning tournament players making * play after * play, just getting it in bad and donking out, I guess a lot of the time it was ruled by their stacks relative to blinds maybe?.....I played on this villains table last night and he was just doing ridiculous stuff, like callling AI from the BB for a third of his stack with A3 off from nitty players shove from MP, or calling an AI with 88 to a 5 bet etc, or huge winning players flatting with 12 BB behind from the SB with J8 off just to hit a flop, 5 bet shoving 97ss into nits 4 bet etc then hitting a flush.
 
I don't really know if I played this right or not, there are so few A in his range here (he is very aggressive preflop and Ax definitely in his 3 betting range), I guess by 3 betting turn I'm folding out stronger Kx, of which there are precious few. Think I just folded hands like Qx that are going to bluff the river, and invited stronger hands just to come over the top, so probably not the most optimal play?

Strange little hand, not sure of table dynamics but middle pair is an awkward hand to 3bet turn with. In a vacuum 3betting post flop is usually a bluff or value but you're neither, but if you have some interesting dynamics it can def be for value

when you 3bet were you intending it as a bluff or for value?

TBH it was for value because he has so few Ax in his range there, basically verging on none (players like him at this limit just habitually 3 bet Ax from the BB), so I wasn't trying to bluff him off Ax because that would be pointless vs him. I was hoping he would call my smallish raise turn with Qx hoping to spike the river - but I think the best play probably there is just to flat turn and let him barrell river with his bluffs, so I do think I missed value by not flatting his turn raise.

In general though I like to throw in a few turn min-reraises at this limit because aggressive players like him fall into a trap of just attacking a weak players range, you can make money by doing that at this level because in general the player pool is pretty weak, but if you 3 bet them there on postflop streets they have to play much more straight forwardly against you especially OOP, especially if they think that it could be a frequent occurence for them to potentially have their entire stack at risk if they meddle with you; I think in general such a tactic lowers your variance overall which is a good thing.

But having said that, as I said his range there on the turn is just so weak, if he does have Ax he is just flat calling the turn hoping me to barrell river, once he raises me its pretty obvious he does have a weak range......I think generally turning a lot of showdown hands into bluffs is a good strategy depending on board runout, but this just wasn't a situation to do it in.
 
^ ^ oh, yeah, the reason I really only thought about him having Ax there that could potentially beat me, before dismissing it because of the preflop action was because with the value part of his range his turn raise is going to be much bigger, so therefore he has no value range and is range is composed of bluffs or semibluffs with Qx. Just raising small is just such an obvious bluff spot, like he's leveraging $3 to pick up about $5; in game I just thought: "he's bluffing, I should reraise here" without really thinking of the consequences of that - if he's bluffing turn and I have good showdown value I should just call and let him punt away on the river given that's the only way he can win the hand. As I said, I missed value by reraising turn.
 
He tanked and tanked....
