Nice weekend in Hahndorf. SPT poker run a quarterly tournament.

Prize money for this one will exceed 350k

Made FT in teams and top 15 in bounty

Currently running stacked in 6 max hoping to go deep

Playing the bounty I get my 39k all in with KK. Two callers two at risk. Me and another.

My KK v TT and 88 holds. Tripled up and bounty collected.

Paying top 20 we are at top 30

Build it up to 220k and see AJo . Shove get called by annoyed at someone else KQ

A on flop with K. Ok ahead. K on river sees me hand over 165k and we go on break with 42k left

J8 shove called by BB 74

8 on flop is good enough.

Next hand QTo - shove 85k against K9 - Q on flop holds.

Then build it up to 330k - with help from Mel - MrKK

Look at 99 and shove - big stack asks how much and I say 320kish. He tanks then calls with A4

A on flop and I collect my money.

Fun times

i played that too - fantastic weekend!! one of my best mates final tabled the main the last 2 and convinced me to play this one

cashed in the high roller, and collected a few bounties, and nearly cashed the PLO.

main event i went into day 2 with only 96k, so i needed a quick double - which i got when qq > kq on hand 2 of the day. unfortunately got caught out on an all in when i woke with kk against a9 which crippled me

Well surprisingly the next SPT has been announced and its going to come round quickly. That estimated pool should exceed 350k (imo) as it will be held in metro Adelaide.

As a heads up Chasers is 25 minutes from the CBD and was the home of Bruce Macavaney for a while - but its still Angle Park - take mace.

They are on Facebook if you want to peruse the site

On the back of our recent record breaking 'Havoc in the Hills III' series at the Hahndorf Old Mill Hotel... we are extremely excited to announce that we are hitting Adelaide for the first time ever with our upcoming 'Ambush in Adelaide' series to be held at Chasers Restaurant in Angle Park!
Series schedule, satellite details and accommodation discounts will be released very soon!

Well, played at the other venue in town and I just copped a brutal run after being well placed at the break with 112k going into 2/4k bbs.

See a few hands at 2/4k get AJ and raise to 12k, just the BB calls, check the flop then get shoved on on the turn, think about calling a 34k shove on a QT83 board (had a double gutter) but threw it away, asked the dealer to see the river, was a 7, so was a good fold as I didn't get the 9 or king that I was chasing (she said she had two pair, probably had Q8)

Blinds raised to 3/6

Pick up 3s in the small blind, dealer made an absolute meal of it by hitting the player next to him hand, so that burn card was a 5, then later stuffs up the turn card by not burning first, so a queen was out there too

Everyone folds anyway, BB checks, flop comes K63, I think you beauty, but decided to slow play it as I want to extract value, if there was another player in the hand I would've bet out, but thought otherwise. Turn comes a jack, I bet 6k, get called, I'm thinking she might have a jack here then, river comes a 9 making a semi-disguised straight, I bet 10k thinking my set is good against a pair/two pair but wanting a call so I don't overbet it, she calls and turns over the QT........runner bloody runner. Funny she just flat called me too with the nuts instead of raising me, I probably would've called a 20-25k bet, some real amateurs at that table that were just sucking out.

Down to 66k now and up to 4/8k bbs, throw away garbage, get a much needed AK in the big blind after about 10 hands of trash, the button has shoved already after a few had limped in beforehand, all in for 52k, I snap call as he had shoved with weaker aces previously and they came good, so put him on some sort of ace and yep he has AJ of spades, everyone else folds

Flop comes T87, 1 spade, he hits his 3 outer jack on the turn and as per usual, I don't catch my 7 outer KQ

Next hand in the small blind I shove my last 14k with A9

2 callers, blinds both fold weirdly

Flop comes 353, AJ guy bets out to get rid of the other player, he turns over J3 off suit and I'm outta there

Just absolutely garbage after I had a good run prebreak just playing the basics with good hands/in position. If my set of 3s hold and my AK holds then I'm sitting at like 180-190k, but nope, get sucked out on like normal.

Feeling a bit like Mike Matusow at the moment. Always seem to cop bad beats come 3/6-5/10k levels, always have the better hand preflop when I go hard and can never chip up when I should be.

Think I just copped a worse run than this

Nearly 3 years on, I'm better equipped to deal with it having had a couple of wins and many cashes since in between all the lockdowns, but if I had the same night I had tonight back then, boy I would've been a rabble

Had a mini heater when 4 tables going down to 3, started KOing a couple players after knocking out 2 20k short stacks early on, went from 115k to 560k in like 3 major hands (only the first hand I was at risk, had kings vs queens vs AK, queens the short stack there so got his bounty), knocked out another guy with AK cracking his 9s, feel like beautiful, this may be the night I have my first win of the year, felt like I was peaking at the right time to get to the final table with a big stack.

Anyways, 3 hands against the same bloke, think we're playing 10-20 or 15-30 here

Get QJ diamonds on a AK3 2 diamond board with 505k preflop, turns a 9 (call 60k turn bet hoping to hit) and my draws brick out, guy shoves river, I can't call obviously but show anyway the missed combo draw, guys all smug here showing 93 out of the blinds but he was ahead from the flop onwards anyway, I shrug and move on and I'm down to like 400k here

I lose a few smallish pots/blinded down

Then same guy gets whittled down playing too loose like 10 minutes later, I pick up AJ os, raise enough to cover most of his stack, he jams, I snap, he has QJ, runs clean with low cards to the river where he sucks out the 3 outer queen, leaves me with like 250k

I get blinded down again then came to my last hand in the BB, I pick up Q2, same guy limps in, me vs him, I flop top and bottom QT2 two diamonds, turns a 3, I bet 40k, he calls, rivers a 5 and another diamond, I check he jams, I say you got the diamonds well done and call (I was calling a jam on any street here unless 4 diamonds came)

He flips over Ace ******* 4 for a runner runner suckout of a wheel and I'm out in like 11th or something, funny how he thought his ace high was good when I was betting into him on the turn, trapped the s**t out of him and cop that to finish my night, he better have gone on to win with that kind of run.

Got my cash back from collecting 4 bounties, but boy tonight was a huge missed opportunity in a pretty big game, only made 1 mistake really imo, calling off the gigantic suckout that eliminated me, anyways, I'll be back next week hoping the deck falls my way (got rivered a few times last week too in, but nothing as brutal as tonight)
 
Not a bad beat but an amazing hand in a fun rebuy game

Utg1 jams 260k+ as I look at QQ - utg2 folds and I tank being very sure he has AA or KK - rebuy says I call 168k

Utg3 shoves 100k+

Utg4 folds (KT)

SB shoves as does BB

Everyone turns over their cards

AA v QQ v 33 v AK v AK

On exposed cards I must be favourite.

Utg1 AA holds and ends up with 1m+ in chips.

Yeah you'd cop that one

Would you fold Jacks in that spot though?

The AKs ain't ever winning that one unless they're suited as you'd hit a set if they draw Broadway, really Aces vs 3s there perhaps, 3s favoured if low cards come out

JJ - yeah probably - maybe - The rebuy ultimately made the decision for me .

As to the 33 - thats what he said - he knew we both had high cards and figured the low flop would favour him

AA still a big favourite, no? QQ or 33 still need to hit 2 outs and the two AK blockers knock out most of QQ straight equity.
 
GreyCrow said:
With all the Aces out and 3 known Kings I only need 1 of the 2 Queens in the deck to hit

Yes AA is always favourite but given the exposed cards the QQ has the better opportunity to improve

By my calculations you hit a Q ~22.6% of the time (1 - (38/40)^5) and some of those you still lose e.g. board gives AK a straight or 33 hits quads. You could also hit JT98x for the straight.

If both the AK hands are unsuited, I have it as thus:

AA - 54 per cent
QQ - 21 per cent
33 - 18 per cent
AK - 3 per cent

The AK hands improve to 8 per cent if one of them is suited. If they are both suited hands, then they are back to 3 per cent (rounded).
 
This was a bad one a few weeks ago.

I’d been in really good tournament form online, so entered a satellite, which I never do.

Qualified (I didn’t realise the satellite tournament didn’t have a winner, that it ends when the 3 seats or whatever are all that’s left), and after about a total of 11 hours in front of the laptop I was down to final 2. It was already easily my best result playing poker.

It was only the 3rd hand of heads up, we were really even - after this 6 hour tournament and 100+ entrants, we came to heads up with the other guy in front by less than a BB.

I had KK, raised from the SB, he re-raised, and I shoved. He called and turns over 99.

We both flopped trips, turn was a brick… and he rivers quads.

As I was screaming/swearing, I accidentally knocked my laptop on the floor… and it had taken one too many bumps, the screen was deceased.

After buying a new MacBook and a good bottle of whiskey the 2nd place prize was gone.

Ouch. River 1-outer effectively for the win is about as bad a beat as it gets.
 
Ffs

This absolutely bs run from the last 3 weeks continues

Running ok early, then lose a flip with AQ vs 8s, fair enough, he flops a set

Pick up KQ os in the BB, limpers everywhere, flop comes Q98 rainbow, I lead out 10, 1 caller, turn comes a 4, I bet 15, he calls, river another 4 I bet 25 on the river, he raises me to 75, I snap as really I'm only losing to jack ten or a queen 9 or something the way it was played out and I'm pot committed, he flips over farkin pocket queens for a boat and was smug as **** about it, the way he played them and celebrated nearly stacking me was just as bad as a slow roll, deserved to lose limping in with queens, seriously I get trapped like that after what I copped last week flopping top and bottom and getting runner runnered

I'm crippled with 35k left, get 9s and jam, same bloke chips me up with missed overs

Few hands later, min raise out of the big, I've got QJ suited, me and another guy call

Flop comes AKJ 2 clubs, got a royal draw to the 10, another 10k bet from him I call, river comes another jack, we get it in, he flips over aces, lovely, only friggin aces or kings beating me there on the turn pretty much and I'm storming out of there when my 2 outer obviously bricks

Suckouts or giant coolers, only way they ever get me
 
I have mostly stopped playing pub games - our home game group is 3/4 nights days a week and the competition is fierce

Its a relaxed atmosphere mostly - except for the guy named Full Tilt :D but he calms down quickly

Played our League game today and with 16 runners spots were tight

Had some early luck but got whittled down to 85k and made ''final table'' of 10 - hey its still final table

Blinds are 12/25k and I have 58k left and in the BB - I had been looking for a hand for an orbit but nothing. I look down at 75o - oh well lets hope we can limp then look

Middle position bets 75k and I look at him and he smiles - fair enough - and I figure its as good as its going to get as it folds to me and I put my last 33k chips in

He shows A4o - flop is a dream 75J - and it runs out sweet for me - double up

I meander along and look at KK in the BB again and shove and double up

Meanwhile blinds are killing everybody off and we are down to 6 - I have AQ in the BB - UTG2 shoves , Button shoves and I figure ugh ok and shove

UTG2 shows JJ , Button 89s - Q on flop and 8 on turn - 9 on River - I pay 89 134k and receive 129k from JJ :D
 
I somehow manage to knock off 3rd place with KQ v 78 and its heads up

I have 777k and oppo has 800ish - 1st hand dealt is AA - yeah I am BB so I wait to spring the trap and its an all in from SB - I snap my AA over and get shown A7 - sweeeeeet

In our games we play blind mans bluff on the last few All Ins to increase excitement

First 3 cards are diamonds with a 7 exposed - yeah all good

Then the last card is turned over for a flop of 277 and Aces cracked

Second place for $150 is ok for a Sunday and more importantly points for end of season jackpot

I had one of them the other day in an online tournament. (They even made it easy for me to remember.)

UTG+1 raised (with bottom stack)
UTG+3 re-raised
UTG+5 three bets
I fold the button
BB goes all in.
All 4 players end up all in.

UTG+1 had AA
UTG+3 had 66
UTG+5 had TT
BB had QQ

I don't remember exactly what was on the board, but there was 7, 8, T - 66s was the only guy who nearly back doored a straight.

The bloke with the tens was the only one to hit his trips with the BB taking the rest of the pot and 2 blokes knocked out. Mad hand.

Practice mindfulness

If you think the live suckouts are bad wait till you see the online river suckouts
 
Was in Manila recently and popped down to the nearby casino to see if there was a game running. Turns out I arrived in the middle of the APT Philippines event, so I was able to enter the deep stack turbo event that had just started. Ended up placing 7/81 and winning a bit of extra cash to spend on holiday.

Was chip lead heading into the final table on 147k with the average stack 90k but got a bit too excited and lost two major hands, calling an all in with QQ which got beaten and then my AK failing to get up against an all in with 99. In hindsight I should have waited a bit longer for people to shove and stack one another.
 
Played my first game of APL in 10 years this evening and placed 3/24. Forgot it attracts a pretty uncouth crowd, plenty of racism and generally unattractive behaviour on display.

Do the points earned from your place in the tournament amount to anything at the end of the season, or are they strictly decorative?
