[Smoooothy]

I'm up a grand total of $17 in the last 30 hours of 6-tabling. In a game I usually crush.

Plus, my hard-drive crashed, so I've lost my entire hand history database.

Let the good times roll.

 

[red+black]

playing cash last night, raise from CO with JThh, two callers.

flop: QQ8, two hearts, i bet 2/3, one caller.
turn: Ad, check, check (was going to bet, but thought better to see a free card)
river: 4c, check, check

he had 54hh

 

[CrippsonBlue]

Played the $4.40 SnG on Stars yesterday, last hand before the 1st break, im 1st, maybe 2nd with just under 12k, about 100 remain.

The next 3 hands were played between just me and a 2k stack. We got our money in all 3 times, he bet me all 3 times to knock me out

1st - my 9's v AQ all-in pre, river=Ace.
2nd - my Q's v AQ. I shoved the flop for more than half his sack on an 8-high board, river = Ace
3rd - my KT v 74 after I bet 4/5BB's pre and he called. I hit TP, he hit a straight

Arrghhh

There are situations where it is sometimes worth throwing out a small bet where you would normally check on the river. When both players are drawing and you're slightly behind, it can sometimes payoff with a big coup.

I had a live hand last week where I was drawing to a straight on a draw heavy board, and check-called smallish bets on the flop and turn. River went check-check and he took it down with a rivered pair of twos (he was drawing to a flush). I was kicking myself for failing to donk a bet into the river.

 

[smiddaz123]

I wasn't involved in either hand, but the hands are pretty sick.

 

[Cartman121]

Those are pretty sick Smiddaz.

This guy was a massive fish. Hence my slightly weird play.

Seems Im must be fairly stupid.
How does OLD MAN 007 win??????????

 

[smiddaz123]

Set of 5's.

 

[rogerdoger]

Yes your right.
Was reading that Cartman had the K5.
Need to delete the post .

 

[paxmaniac]

Set of 5's.

Trip 5's (a set is when you have a pocket pair which hits the board).

 

[red+black]

How does OLD MAN 007 win??????????

He wins by having Cartman check to him on all 3 streets.

quality r+b

You can stick the cash tables.
Ive said it before and dont want to say it again. Bugger them and the donk donkeys that play them. Lose to many large pots to bad play. Takes too long to build your stack to then lose most of it because some donk hits a running flush or straight. This player isnt a donk but I have JJ and reraise his pre flop bet. Hit my set QTJ and put him all in . Fair call as he has KK. Turn 8 River 9.
For the last month Ive hovered around the same bankroll. Up 20 and down 20. S&G's are paying for my cash table play. Only going to play S&G's for the next month and see what happens.

L-o-l cashaments?

his play was poor cos he didn't re-reraise you.

Really?

That's one poker terminology learn today then, thanks.

 

[paxmaniac]

It's not compulsory to 4 bet aces and kings. Depends on the player and your relative position.

 

[red+black]

rant

persevere roger, take a break for a while. poker can be extremely frustrating. maybe spend some time in the pysch forum over at 2p2

Really?

A set is hidden, trips is not. Compare 88 on an A87 flop to 89 on an A88 flop.

 

[Ricketts]

L-o-l cashaments?

Surely not!

Bad beats are just part of the game... everyone plays differently.

And if a bad beat hurts you financially then you are under bankrolled for the game. Move down some levels and take the good with the bad!.

Criticism accepted. I am a nemo .
