2nd again 😐

Had him on the ropes. He got lucky

I raised preflop

I had AJ flop A 5 7

Shove all in... (Had him covered)

He calls with 52

Turn is a 2

River is a brick.

Stupid game.

Not beating myself up to much. Sometimes luck isn't on ya side.

But tonight heads up I believe I played well... Was aggressive in the right spots and had him in trouble (his head dropped and lost all confidence until his stupid 2 pair 😡)

Same as Friday night when I came 2nd.. believe I played well.. didn't get the W but definitely didn't make it easy on the winner.
 
Poker is a weird game.. ups and downs... Before my good run (last 5 games) I was thinking of having a little break (I was playing shit). But decided at the start of my good run I'll give it one more week.

So I'll get onto it.

Last 5 games some my regular some just because I've felt good about poker/myself so decided to play.

4th in the $
10th no $
2nd in the $
2nd in the $
4th in the $

🤷‍♀️ Some luck in there obviously... But the last few weeks (in my opinion) have played very well.

Confidence is a great thing... And the good periods don't last as long as the shit.. but I've enjoyed the last few weeks 😁

Confidence is the key

Made final table with a nice 230k stack but had to dodge some bigger stacks to my left

Got lucky and won tonight

Sunday would have been a win but happy to chop - I had ICM well covered

Both times - I felt in control of the table and my chips . Never really at threat - avoided the AA to A2h call of the next big stack - I had looked at the 2 small blind stacks but folded A2

Finished QQ v AJ diamond and they held

And my AA held
 
Sigh

Had 90k in the earlyish stages of the Tournament and lost 30k chasing AJ to the turn

Couple of hands later in the BB small stack 28k UTG shoves I have KQ and it folds to me and I call

JQ v KQ - yeeow

Great flop with the K - and the 9

8 on the turn and there is only one card which beats me

Yes it did - of course it did - the Ten to give them the straight.

I am now the small stack and the cards die until back in the BB with J5 and blinds 5/10k and dealer puts in 35k - I **** it call and they have K6 which holds

Sigh
 
Made it to final table again last night.

Everyone cut a deal so all 9 made $ which was fine with me.

Anyways... After being BB SB to start on final table 😐 I was down to 170k in dealer spot.

BB was in all on his blinds... Everyone folds to me... I have K10 suited... 🤔 Ok.. I'll try to isolate... Blinds 15/30k

Raise to 110k. BB takes about half a second to jam (has me covered) ****. That was not my plan.

Went through my thoughts... Fold and leaves me 65k and hope I get something good before the next lot of blinds... Decided **** it.

Call he has pocket 9s and he holds.

🤷‍♀️

6BB on the button, in the money from a deal with BB already all-in and you have KT suited. Just jam it, maybe I'm out of the loop on tournaments or don't understand ICM but I don't get this recent trend of committing a huge % of your stack and folding.

Depends on the deal

I think it may have been taken xx off of 1,2,3 etc and spread it out

Last night's game they did an ICM deal where 1st was 1k and 2nd and 3rd got $750

3 was happy and shoved until eliminated and it still took half hour of chip swapping and ' do you wanna chop so we can go home '

" Nope "

Nope guy finished 2nd

Jamming it could of been an option 🤔 but I think I would of got the call anyways.. just the type of player he is.

I raised a bit higher then normal... Just to try scare him off the call/all in... And left my self chips to fold if that's what I ended up doing.

Still think me calling wasn't a bad option with K,10 suited.. I just didn't get the cards go my way.

Top couple of players lost a bit.. and gave 8th and 9th $100 ($65 buy in) (51 runners) so at that stage.. my K10 suited heads up basically isn't bad.. **** it. 🤔 I'll roll the dice and see...

Lost
Ya get that.

I just don't see bet/fold ever being an option with your stack, so for.me your choice is shove or fold. If you're going to commit your chips then shove and put all of the decision on your opponent.

Final table and have 260k chips in the BB 10/20 with QQ

Utg opens to 50k - loose aggressive called by both middle positions - one who rarely raises even with AA. Next to them is fairly solid but literally bets when they hit

I am trying to decide what to do. I have both MPs covered but loose aggressive has just a little more than me.

I decided to call and see a flop of J68

Utg bets 70k called by both MPs but not jammed on which factors into my decision to shove

Utg tanks and says ' you have me covered ' then folds

Both MPs call their last 50/60k more

MP 1 has AA, MP 2 has JJ for a set and with a pot around 600k I need a queen

Which turns up on the river

I don't think anything changes if either MP shoves as I have them covered by 80/100k.

My concern was Utg

If they are out of the hand my jam comes pre-flop

I would jam it anyway. QQ is better against fewer opponents and no-one should have you dominated based on preflop action (can't account for the idiot flatting AA with <10bb vs a LAG opener.)

Yeah I did think about it. Just trying to work out what they are only calling with. I have to assume Ax and does that leave me breathing room.

It's why I decided to see a flop.

Sigh

Battling away and sit at 67.5k with blinds 2/4k in middle position with AK

Trying to work out a sizing that doesnt include a jam I land on 16k - folds to BB who goes woah 16k hmm then calls

The guy is a luck box until he isnt

Flop is 67K - he acts first by putting 16k out - there is 50k in the pot and I have 51.5k and I jam

He asks for a count then calls

KT

T on turn

T on river

And I am home
 
Home game today

Player went on TILT!!!

1st hand Tilt raised and called by 1 other player

Flop is T22 - big bet call

Q on turn - big bet call

Q on river big bet followed by shove followed by call

Shover had Q6 and hit runner runner to the T2 raiser ( lets not discuss the mechanics of raising T2 )

A few hands later is down below

Tilt has 33 - UTG ( same person) raises minimum chips - a few callers a few folders

Flop is 322 -

I will let the picture tell the story PXL_20250810_053254159~2.jpg

33 left in a hurry and put a message up that he is reconsidering playing a tournament at the end of the month

He did the math

Runner runner Q was 0.4%
Case A? For the bigger boat 4.3%
 
Travelled to Murray Bridge for a weekend series which was well received

Spent way too much money but finished ahead

Made final table of HOP - which was a variation of 234 - Holdem Omaha and Pineapple

In 15 minutes I went from 22k to 200k through luck and putting the cards in

First survival hand I had QQ and rubbish - but short stack I shoved and Q on the flop - phew


Then got lucky with a full house of Jacks and that gave me some good chips

Got caught shoving AKQ9 - with someones pairs holding

Had 51k and looked down at 99A6 - ahh **** it and shoved and got called by monster stack

They hit a J and had an A also so no help there - rivered 9 gave me 130 or so after blinds and final table 2 minutes later
 
Missed out there

Played the 230 after satelliting in ( my satellite game is off the charts with 6 tickets from my last 7 shots ) with a huge structure and 40 minute blinds I decided to wait til the 2nd day where blinds would be 500/1k - with 100k start stack

Ran that up to 450k and then a guy I had been stealing chips off fought back and cold called with a 3 on the river where I had none of it - and a few similar ones

Down to 250k I am in the SB with A9s and the BB has been fairly conservative until he decides to shove 93o etc - but all in all I thought a 3.5k raise would get him to fold - he shoved - he only had 125k so I called

I was right he didnt have premium - but a QJo - Q on the flop of course and I am fighting to stay alive long enough for final table - 11 left

I am on the button with Q5h and as noted SB tight and BB was a player who was multi-tabling and came back as I shoved . He turned his cards over 1 at a time saying if they are good I call - J heart and T heart and he says ok call - I am happy for the obvious reasons until a T hits the flop

Very happy with 11th and the experience
 
Today we had the teams event which was one game we targeted a long way back

Pretty tough going - get a pot then card dead get a pot card dead etc

Down to 46k BB with AQ spade - middle position raises 3x (12k) I jam and he swears as he reveals his JJ but consoles himself with the ''its a fair fight ''

2 spades on the flop gives me hope - 7 club on turn and Q on the river to melt him hard - but wait there is more

Next hand SB with 100k and QQ -and they shove and I call - they have KK and swear when the Q hits the flop and I take another stack.

Before I can play another hand I get moved to another table where 2 cards are waiting for me - AA - I know right - I 3x hoping to get a caller and not only do I get a caller I get 2

JJ and JQ and I eliminate both and have a healthy stack

We are down to 20 left and I catch a few more hands and I call 2 all ins - AK v JJ - JJ good and another with AQ which I lose then get into another fight with another big stack who turns the straight and I had hit trip Ks but didnt want to go hard but paid him off - 80k

Then just pulled my head in along with card dead and made some small moves but we ended up making final table - 3 of us in our team and it meant we had to survive one knockout to be guaranteed a win

Which we did and pocketed a nice sum which put me ( just) ahead on the weekend after food/room etc

All in all really happy
 
Just cannot knock out the short stacks at the moment, every time I get a glorious spot and am way ahead, they just always seen to find what they need time and time again

Tonight I'm on a hot table, find aces after the break, I chipped up but am dwindling a little then called a short stack a few hands before with QJ of hearts, he had 89 and binked an 8, so I get the aces here and limp hoping for a raise, shortish stack button raises to 15k, I rip it on him he snaps with QJ spades, K of spades on the flop then 87 of spades runner runner absolutely gross, so I go from like 220k to 145k after that, would've had well over 300k if I stack him, seem to be getting kings cracked really often also but I generally get stacked with them

I find a way to final table, I was able to take the blinds regularly and got 1 double up which was a donation really.

Final table, bloke all in blind UTG about to be hit by his orbit, I rip it with KJos he has Q9os, I bink a king he hits a 9, brick turn, queen river ffs, 2/3s of my stack gone

I somehow turn 180k into over 750k through 1 double up and 2 other rips to get the blinds, so I get A5os in the SB, big stack button limps so I limp, flop A82, I bet 150k to see where I'm at, button calls then checks out of position turn and river while club club comes in, he has A5 also with 5 of clubs so hits a 4 liner, a chop would've been nice here...

Then we get to my next orbit, I fold BB with A10, old bloke has not played a hand and has me covered, I can't be good there, very next hand I get KQos and rip my 425k in, BB wakes up with stinking ******** kings and I bubble for the cash in 6th

Ffs, just seem to go on these long stretches multiple times a year without cashes (like 15-20 games), came 8th on Sunday last week now 6th tonight, 12 games without a cash now, just felt absolutely robbed tonight, every time I was building momentum and chipping up, it got taken away.
