Was quite happy with this hand

Tried an early bluff pretending I had the 8's but in the end it all worked out for the best :) He took the maximum time to decide if he was going to call the final bet

^^^ LOL at the river call on a double paired board. Dont expect that kind of play at any other level, thats some free money right there. He should have raised all in on the turn, which would have been a fold for you due to the 8's being out there aswell as the flush and your kicker would lose you the hand against another ace.
 
No doubt he screwed it up, although I would have called because I was ready to call it a night hence the over the top betting to either win something or lose it all. When he took nearly a minute to call I wondered what the hell he was doing, maybe trying to check something out but then called anyway I was laughing :D

Although he obviously used my own game play where when I am too committed to a hand money wise and have a reasonable hand I like to call so if they have the better hand, so be it, but aint handing it over as half the time they are bluffing

I just reckon it was great to be on the winning end of a bullshit hand like that, stolen from the last card :D`

Pretty deep in a $2.5k guarantee rush multi entry MTT (super value in these btw, the play is really soft and it went way over the guarantee; first was $2.7k alone). At the time there was about 17 left after ~2800 started. Villian was reasonably tight and seemed pretty solid and pretty aware with a decent steal %.

Anyway i'm almost never folding but was wondering about opinions on lines to take. At the time I thought flatting was pretty bad considering the majority of his range has a lot of equity verses my hand and Ill have to just fold plenty of flops.

Then there was putting in a standard 3b to $45k-ish. Which I thought was pretty awkward; I'd be turning my hand into a bluff and I thought he was capable of jamming worse as a bluff and for value (any ace is the nuts bvb obv) which wouldve been super gross and i'd be forced to fold. Also when he flats it sucks its hard to connect with a flop with my hand and I would have like 15% of my stack in there which isnt that big of a deal but I was shortish as it was.

Also couldve 3b bigger so he had no illusions of fold equity if he was thinking about spazzing with the K7 or whatever. Or also along these lines would be just sticking it in which felt kindve spewy cause its just such a big 3b but it may fold out some better hands as he'd have to call off a pretty big portion of his stack which wouldve been really yuck with AJ or 77 etc.

Probably looks super standard but was just looking for feedback as that hand was likely worth a lot of real money.

Anyway cheers for any comments.
 
Folding is obviously terrible. Sticking it in is also v.bad unless you have a psycho image.

There are good arguments for anything from call through to a pot-sized raise depending on dynamics. Without further info I'd be inclined to flat and use position (i.e. float the flop a lot). Had you previously had any SB-BB hands with this guy?

There werent any BvB hands that stuck out however I had been very active and stealing a lot and did play this hand against the villain.

I've decided to chase Supernova this year on stars

Currently behind pace because I spent some time away and started late but should catch up over the next week and hopefully build a bit of a buffer from there, I dont want a december sweat

Currently 6 tabling 50NL 6max, in around 6months I hope to be 12 tabling 50NL with maybe some 100NL mixed in or move over to full ring and play more tables

Really want the concierge service, but knowing what I'm like once I get all the FPPs Ill be reluctant to spend them, maybe the Cayman? :p

gl sir.

I took a shot at it a couple years back, and got to about mid-June on pace before folding. In terms of spending FPP, I'd always just get the $1000 WISH cards (they come as 2x$500): can use it at any Woolworths outlet, so covers food, liquor and fuel. :thumbsu:

How many hands at 50NL to get it? Isn't it like 500k? Would be tough only 6 tabling. I think I would have only just qualified 10-12 tabling 100NL last year if I played on PS. GL tho.

Im currently estimating about 550k hands yes

6 tables would be extremely hard and I wouldnt rely on playing 6 to get me there

I'll be adding tables progressively so not to dent my winrates by much, and I would expect to be 12 tables with some 100nl within 6months, could only be 3 though depending on how I adapt

On paper it looks very achievable however we all know things on paper dont quite go the way they should. We'll see though, I'll keep updating and hopefully I dont suffer the burnout and can get there

$4 2R1A. Don't remember having any reads or stats on the guy other than his 3b pre was 0 over 35ish hands. Pretty deep; 20ish left after ~250 started.

Couldn't bring myself to folding after he just clicked it back which is probably bad but anyway. Wasn't sure what to make of the flop over bet. If the 3b pre read is somewhat accurate and we give him a range of AQ+, TT+ then no hands really make sense.

I highly doubt a set of aces or queens is betting out and betting out so big, especially at micros where people often slow play their nuts. Nor does it make sense to bet huge with AK or two pair on such a dry board and on a board where I may have a second best hand so he could take me to value town.

So I wasn't really sure what it could be other than maybe a spazzing KK who was betting big in frustration due to an A flopping or something and just kindve went "**** it".
 
Tricky. The minraise is also strange from any of the hands that are beating you (not to mention any other hand, really). If he threebets big preflop, then I think your decision is preflop (and probably a fold vs most villains). e.g he threebets to 10k, then if you call there is 22k in the pot with 48k effective stacks and you are pretty much committed when an ace flops. As played, I would probably just shrug my shoulders and call. If he turns over AK he has owned me, and I would just have to be satisfied in the knowledge that his play costs him when I have a pocket pair or big suited connector.

Congrats!

My mate called me at 4:30am yesterday to tell me he just won some package to Macau at the end of February. Won his way through 3 satellites from his initial $10 buy-in.

Haven't played the $4 level for a long time now so I am not sure of the quality of play, but I can assume it is not horrendous by your comments.

The raise is a caress re-raise meaning he wants a call. Well that is the raise I put him on, on face value. So that rules out any Ax range including Ak or AQ.

It does not however rule out the possiblity of AA, but with you holding AT, it makes it so much more unlikely. If it is QQ, why the pot bet. Surely, based on his caress raise preflop, he is going to try to milk the flop then overbetting it hard. So it gives the illusion he has a pair and does not like the flop and wants to take it down.

The other problem is you have raised and called with AT. What are you trying to go for? You have hit your ace on an otherwise un-cordinated board, so it puts you in a dilemna, because you basically got your flop you "wanted".

I probably raise then, then cut my wrists when you flips up AA, but hey, its hard making a call with limited info.


Results? What happened.
 
is this too nitty - just something felt wrong. only about 15 hands into a session today.

i don't like folding here and often wouldn't.... but this time... the only hands i beat are kings, AQ and i'm in front of KJ or a bluff.....

Yes, far too nitty, you beat a lot more than KK or AQ. I'd expect to see QJ or KQ here more often than any other hands.

Huh? There are really very few situations where you can profitably fold AA even 140 blinds deep. I think this was a massive mistake.

Click to expand...

and KQ and AT and JJ and maybe some loose peel with J9 suited. In my experience nobody ever donks pot on the flop with a monster. He almost certainly doesn't have QQ, Q4 or T4, QT is pretty unlikely. TT and 44 are possible, but why wouldn't he check to you and let you bet it?

IMO it's a bluff, a draw, or "protecting" some medium strength hand.
