From there I still didn't make the $ 😐😑😐

Dealer shoves all in 170k
SB calls the 170k
I have AK go over the top 250k
SB calls me (he had me covered with 300k+)
Dealer has pocket J's
SB has pocket K's
Vs my AK

Nobody hits... I'm out.

Should of folded 😐
 
Big big home game last night this morning

Last hand before the break I have 80k and AA blinds are 4/800 and I hate it

Raise to 5k as a **** off bet and get 2 callers

Flop is K95 - bet 10k - fold call - ok they have a K

Turn is a K they check as do I

River is a bust and they check and I bet 20k and they call and I think ok I might be ok

They had KQ and said I thought you had AK
 
After the break I lose a few more chips and at 1/2k have 39k in the BB and AK

UTG2 raises to 20k and it folds to me and I say ' well I'm not calling this with a little more to go all in '' and I shove they snap and turn over AA - ahh no more rebuys so hmm

Flop QJ7 - ooh life

Turn is the dream T and I scoop a pot and re-set

Next level 2/4k and again BB with 89Club - UTG raises to 12 - middle position calls and I figure lets see a flop

Flop is another near dream of J26 club - UTG bets 16k MP calls and I figure I have just on pot left and shove and UTG calls - I immediately say Aclub and MP folds

First card he turns over is Aclub and I shudder as he turns over another black card - the 4 spades - phew - just dodge another club and I do

Get moved and blinds 1500/3k and I am BB with KK - 5 limpers and I assess it and raise to 20K and get 4 callers - ok

Flop is 3 cards under 8 and I see 80k in the pot and shove because I figure they are only calling with an A or a pocket pair - UTG tanks and eventually folds saying if I was in the SB I snap (cash game player) the other 2 fold a lot more quickly and my stack is looking pretty good right now

Get moved twice more and my stack is 135k blinds 8/26k and I am BB with JTh

UTG2 raises to 35k - SB thinks a moment then calls - I shrug and figure value - and part of my new approach to playing for the win - and shove

UTG2 looks puzzled and mutters then folds - SB thinks some more then calls

Pocket 9s to my JT is in trouble with a T on the flop and it holds - UTG2 says they folded AJ - which is sad because there was an A on the flop
 
On the bubble for FT and I have pocket 2s in the SB and BB is short stacked so I raise to 75k and they shove their 115k and I call

AJ to 22 - I'm alive and very much alive with a 2 first card out

Ended up 5th for the night and some handy cash in pocket

This was annoying, 2/3 at Crown.

EP raise to 13, I call in CO with 76cc with 120 behind, four to the flop. Flop is T76r, checks to me. I bet 40, folds to MP who shoves for 160. I call.

Turn: 8
River: K

She has K8o.
 
Major game at The Barker 23 left blinds are 10/20k with a SB ante - I am in the BB and havent looked at my cards with 189k with blind

Folds to middle position who limps and folds around to me in the BB and I see JQo - ok he limped lets push

I shove he snaps and shows KK - gulp - has me covered too

Flop is 3 cards under 7 - turn is Queen - ok and River is nada seeing me out

Analysing the way it played out I dont think it ends any different

If he shoves I fold but he didnt and the flop ( I think is a check check )

The Queen on the turn sees me shoving anyway and I assume he calls - maybe reluctantly - but he would assess I am shoving QQ pre-flop

dirty2 has run up a good stack and I hope he is still going
 
GreyCrow

Out 10th just struggled at the end....

Blinds 25k/50k

Utg raised to 150k

I'm utg+1 shove 295k (AQ)

Folds to dealer who calls me + UTG calls as well.. both have big stacks

Flop 6,5,3 turn J river is 8

Utg has Q6 🤨 dealer pocket 3's

😐😑😐 Did well... But so many tornys I'm out around the bubble or if I make the $ it's only just.

This ^^ is something I need to work on.

Frustrating.
 
A few epic hands yesterday

Just after rebuys finished 3 AllIns -- KK v QQ v JJ with a K on the flop seeing 2 eliminations

QQ v KK and QQ Quads up on the flop

Last hand I saw before I went home was a funny one

SB V BB and flop is a 9c another club and a spade - SB bets 50k call

Turn is a spade - bet 50k call

River is another spade and check check

SB turns over their cards and says I got a 9 - BB nearly mucks and says your kicker plays and is about to lay them down face down

For some mysterious reason in the poker gods minds they make him show them face up and his 94s is good enough for the flush

Back to playing well but bubbling for FTs/the money most games 😑😑😑

Couple of times I've been on the money bubble and I've been contending with a few only playing for a min cash, rather than to win, they'll fold right down to 1-2 BB left, get a lucky triple up or double through me and fold right again until I get screwed over by the chip leader in some way with 5-8bbs. Got counterfeited twice by one bloke in the BB a couple Fridays ago, he had King rag both times and I had 2s and 3s in the BB and called his cheap all ins, garbage runouts, he goes back to folding every hand and I have to pick my moments to either squeeze or see a flop...

But yeah, getting annoying seeing bad passive play rewarded far too often at the moment when I just want to break the duck.
 
Played on the feature table at the recent APL600 Jackstar in Sydney for a while. Made final table but didn't win, still pretty happy with the result. Hoping to improve on it at either the Ballarat Marathon or APL Albury. Come say hello if you're there.

Went to my local pub game today and put a $50 bounty on my head. First hand I was involved in went 3-way all-in on the flop. My QJ for a flopped 2 pair held up with the 2 villains holding straight/flush draw/overcard combinations. Set me up well, but couldn't beat the cards heads up.
 
We had a Royal Flush from 2 X pocket 10s all in

1739347365014.png

Final table and down to 5 paying top 4 blinds 20/40k and 1player with 1 blind left

In the big blind with 22 utg1 raises to 80k I call - thinking about money etc

Flop is A25 I check utg bets 80 and I shove he calls with QQ

I start counting how big my stack will be

A on turn

A on river to give him bigger fh

FML

A shove preflop sees the same result

The last month has been horrendous, arguably the worst run of my pub poker career results wise, though the difference is here I've copped a few similar runs beforehand now, so I know it's just a phase I have to grind out.

Still bubbling for FTs/the money or losing flips or copping bad beats

Flopped trips twice on Monday, they got mowed down and I was out in one of them by a flush chaser (I went all in for 4x flop open, bloke still chased got there right away on the turn and board didn't pair 😑)

Last night I finally won a few flips and had to get my GTO game up to speed, just happened to be in a 90 player game and I busted out just before final 3 tables, so all moot...

I did recognise I was going better in the earlier portion we had 20 minute levels, then it dropped back to 15 and twas struggle street for 2 levels which saw my stack drop before I had a small rebound after the 2nd break then I eventually busted out. Perhaps I have to completely gut a heap of games and start prioritising $150 20 minute level games
 
Conversely my last few months have seen a huge upswing in my earnings

But I also recognise a huge part is due to the placement of the cards in the deck

70k and blinds are 3/6k and I am BB with 67d

UTG raises min click plus tax to 13k and it folds to SB who calls and I figure why not - stack 57k

Flop is a dream/nightmare of 25jd - bang - but also cautious of the run out

UTG puts in 16k SB calls and I figure go hard or go home and put my pot sized shove in

UTG asks for a count and then shoves their 77k in - I was happy for a call but dreading the 1 diamond card - SB also asks and then calls the UTG bet

Pot is well over 200k and I am not surprised to see both holding picture cards with 1 diamond

Run out is good and I stack up with UTG getting 20k + 20k from SB

Thats enough for FT

Down to 6 and I have 100k left and see AQ with the blinds 10/20k

UTG has already raised it to 45k and I shrug and shove - 77 - I'm somewhat alive and kicking into gear with the proverbial A on the river
 
Final 3 and this is where I make a semi-mistake ( I think)

BB with blinds 40/80k over 500k in chips and stacks are somewhat even - 66

Button folds and I see SB twitch as their hands hover over their chips and I think they may be big here - but they flat

And I think this is my error - I jammed my 66 ignoring my read and they snap with AA

Talking about it on the way home the better option would have been to flat it and assess on the flop but I also rationalise that the read could have been AK etc

So 3rd and money and points board leader

Always trust your reads. If they turn out wrong then reassess afterwards and think about what you may have misread.

Unlikely they would flat AK there unless they knew you would jam with a very wide range. Wouldn't want to be left first to act with A-high on the 2/3 of flops they don't hit a pair.

Short handed I've limped in strong a few times in the SB if I know the BB has an aggressive streak in them

Have also checked big hands in the BB if there's certain implications, then go hard once I've seen a safe flop/runout

One time last year I was playing heads up, I limped in aces on the button, BB checks, I flopped a set and the BB leads out, ok beautiful, I'll just flat here, he slowed down on the turn then I value bet small on the river hoping to induce a shove (1 unlikely straight out there), but he tank gave it up, was so annoyed
 
Playing in Albury, OMFG 🤦🏼‍♂️

I’m on the button, 30 seconds to the break and players have already mentally checked out, some getting up off their seats. Folds around to me & I have Q7dd. My stack is only good enough for 13BB after the break, so I rip it in. SB folds, Aunt Gladys from Thurgoona thinks for a while before deciding that T4os is a suitably strong hand to be calling off almost a third of her stack and goes on to make a full house. 🤯

Thats why I dont play APL anymore - sure Bullets has some donkeys - but they give themselves away with the lead off bet on a King high board and you have the choice to continue playing or not

Tuesday night just in the points with 3 BB UTG with Q7o - F-it call and it folds around to BB who says ( quite rightly ) ''Im gonna have to call even though I havent looked ''

Turns over 1st card K - turns over 2nd card - yep K

Flop is QTJ - ok somewhat alive - turn is rubbish and the River is the FU 9 to give him the straight - even though his KK was good just to squeeze the knife deeper

Ballarat and Albury both awash with donk leads on the flop. 🤪
 
At the one apl venue I play... (Haven't played much last 5 months) There's a few dickheads who will just shove without looking.... Raise like 10x the blind with any 2 cards.

May of called one of the regulars there who plays like a complete tool... A w***er and a few other things what would make my mum blush.

But it pisses me off. I go to play poker (yes it's only pub poker) but I still try and take it semi serious.
