Kamikazements

This is way past the rebuy period in a 10c rebuy.

Check out the hands calling my massive reraise all in. A9? wtf?! 55?! Lolz. I bet they wish they had a Jack.

More Freerollaments and a home game

I thought I'd kick off with a screen grab. This was the very worst possible flop for me. I think I have a monster but instead am drawing to the case 8 or a back door flush for a win or a runner runner straight for a chop.



I've been playing some more Freerolls on WillHill. They are quite amusing. I played on one the other day with a friend and we had a prop bet to see who could amass the largest stack. Within a few hands I was down to 180 (starting stack of 1500) and he was up to 10k. All was lost, or so I thought. I then shoved with 89 in early position and had 4 callers. Despite the flop producing an A, the 8 on the turn was enough to win me the pot. The very next hand I flop the nut straight and get paid multi-way. I managed to build my stack to over 155,000 before giving it away. I cashed for 0.70c. Go me.



Last night I hosted a 10p/20p ring game. It was a fun evening and quite a few moves were made. One hand in particular amused me greatly. See if you can guess his hand?

Me: A4
Him: ??

Preflop: He raises to 70p. I call.

Flop: K53 rainbow.

He bets £1.20 and I call.

Turn: 3

Check check.

River: 9

He bets £2.50
I raise to £6.50
He re-raises to £15
I fold.

Based on the betting, he should have flopped a set and filled up on the turn or have a reasonable pair in his hand. So what did he have? The answer: 72. He did a re-re-resteal on the river which was a great move. We've played a fair amount together in the past and he knew I was quite capable of restealing on the river. I just wish that one time I actually had the goods.

Another amusing hand. I get QT on the button. It folds to me and I raise 3xbb. BB calls. Flop was J85. We both check the flop and the turn is a 5. I'm pretty sure he doesnt have anything at this point and so when he bets 80p I take it up to £3. He tanks before saying something which sounded a lot like 'Fold'. Someone at the table said 'nice bluff' to me and I said 'thanks' and smiled. I then reached for the chips for the BB to inform me he was still active and hadn't folded. He thinks a bit more and then folds showing 66. I'd announced I was bluffing - how could he fold in that spot? He should have raised it up. He didn't have a great deal behind so I'd have probably called a raise, but even so.

Overall the game was profitable. I bought in for £20, reloaded for £10 and cashed out £50.

Donkey king

This is a bit of a comedy hand and possibly donk play from both of us. I raised pre-flop cos the BB was sitting out of the hand and I wanted to steal the blinds. His turn and river bets didn't make sense if he had a flush. I think he would have played a king differently as well on a dangerous board. There wasn't much there for him to represent. I bet he is currently bitching about how I called his all-in bet on the river with just a 2.

Freerollaments!

I have played very few public freerolls. I know how crazy they can be. This hand sums up the play. What else could I have done? Maybe gone all-in pre-flop straight away rather than 4xbb UTG? WTF were these people thinking? AT is the only marginal hand there and even then its gotta be screwed every which way with 4 people all-in. Ah well. I'm playing an APAT online game shortly so I'll hopefully get some better players:

This game can be so frustrating

Here is a hand I just played in a €10 5 seater SnG. I'm constantly getting in to a show down situation with the best hand, only to be out drawn. Last night I came 2nd in a SnG where I was massively stacked and I lost 6 hands where I was a favourite in every single one. Twice I had pairs to the guy's unpaired unders. He was down to 270chips at one stage and came back to win. It was so frustrating

January stats

My new year's resolution was to keep a track of every live game I play. Thus I have a spreadsheet with all my results in. My stats for the month are as follows:

Total staked: £238 (Avg stake: £5.17)
Total returned: £376
Profit: £138 (Roi=57%)
In the money: 16/28 (57%)

I'm happy with those stats. It'll be interesting to compare my month on month stats later in the year.

Time to shift up a gear

I tend to play €3 and €5 5-seater games on poker.co.uk. My roll is only around €50 but it is slowly increasing. Anyhow, I played a live game at the weekend and won a €250 bonus for having the best hand. This has been paid direct into my poker.co.uk account - so now I can up the stakes a bit and try some €10 to see how they go. I am sick of donk play being rewarded, such as this hand which I've just played. The ranges of the raiser and caller is vast - so although my call preflop was loose I wasn't going to be a massive under dog and I was getting 7/2 on my money. Anyhow, the guy 3 bets me all-in with mid pair and then hits his 4 outter on the river. It gets boring being beat like this.

Satadonkament

This Saturday is the rather belated Poker.co.uk Christmas Party. The afternoon kicks off with a £50 f/o game and the evening features much beer and music. It should be a laugh. As I'm a microstakes kinda guy, I tried to satellite into the afternoon game through a £10 f/o. This is the hand which wounded me. From then on I was just keeping my head above water and finished 6/10 with 2 going through. Christ knows why i got called on the flop and turn:

Sick sick flop

Check this out for a sick hand. The other player was pretty solid and knew how to play the game. Here we are heads up in a 6 player STT. I managed to come back and win, but I thought I had him here:

APAT and Will Hill

Last night I spent the evening playing poker online - the first evening Ive done this in ages. I had intended to concentrate on Stars so I can release my sign-up bonus. I can actually bust my roll there in the pursuit of this and still come out about even. I ended up only playing 2 SnGs. I bubbled one and crashed in the other.

I did play the APAT Czech Open on Bluesq though. I ended up in the cash in 18th which was good, but my bust out hand was a real pain in the butt. Why is he getting involved with KQ? I'm a bit of a donk at the tables but I would be mucking that every time. Even my JJ was perhaps marginal play but this guy was acting after my substantial re-re-raise:





A friend came to rail me right at the moment I went out. S0 I railed him at a $0.25/0.50 table. Now, I very rarely play ring games on account of doing very poorly in them. I now have a sneaking suspicion that cos I play the real microstakes (0.01/0.02 and 0.05/0.10) the play is far too loose. Anyhow, I sat down with with the $10 I had in my WillHill acct (I thought it was empty) and spun it up to this much:



I only recall having one hand of any merit. I built up to $30 by being a tad reckless. I'd call down and then raise rivers or just check raise flops with nothing. Noone called me out. Not once. I even did the same move against the same player within a few minutes not realising it was him and even he didn't call me on it.

The sweet hand was when I had JT on the button. I limped, BB went 3xbb and I called to see a KQ2 flop. He 3xbb the flop and I called to see a shiny ace on the turn. I check, he bet, i raised, he raised, I raised etc. I didn't want to push him off the hand and so we played tennis for 8-10 bets. He then shoves and I insta-called. He showed QQ for a flopped set and he bricked the river to double me through. I think that was his first hand at the table.

It was good to have a winning ring game session. They don't happen often for me!

Running bad

I am running so badly this evening. I keep finding myself in hands where I have the best of it, only to get done ont he river. Every single time. It has got to the stage now where when the river pops I am expecting to lose. Sick sick sick. These are just a few of the hands from this evening. All games range from €3 to €10 and are five seater SnGs:

Here I had an A and thought I could get the table to fold. Winning the dead money would push me up 50%. Why am I being called by QT out of position?

This one I reckon I lost the minimum from the turn onwards. Should I have reraised more on the flop? I don't think I could have taken him off his 7 high flush draw though cos of the straight flush potential. He was getting pot odds of 2/1 for roughly a 2/1 chance of winning (12 outs twice). I should have taken it to 360 I think.

So that's me done for the night.

AK? Pah! Fear my straight flush!

This has to be the sweetest way to take down a five seater SnG. I think it also shows the perils of tarting around with AK. I think with the blinds at 200/400 he should shove pre-flop rather than get trappy. When I shove on the flop, he is then shafted. If he calls he has 10 outs (3x K, 3xA and 4xGutshot) and so his tournament life is on the line and he is an underdog. Shoving pre-flop would have given him the hand pre-flop and nearly tie us with chips.
