Perhaps you missed the denoting tongue-in-cheek. Irregardless, plz go stab yourself in the eye with an icepick.
and then you'll wake up and realize is was all a dream. DN would take you down no prob.Best all around player: Phil IveyBest tournament player: Our man Daniel. I'm still waiting for him to make the final table of a WSOP main event though. Hopefully it'll be at the next one, and he'll finish second to me -
I think it was an ugly ugly call. I'll assume he had some kind of read on antonio, but I still think it was awful. It sounds like if Antonio wins that pot he becomes a threat... yeck. I'd have to know stack sizes to be sure, but it sounds terrible to me. I'd love to hear Daniel's opinion on this call.

Depends if it's limit or NL. in limit I play it fast. In NL the way I play this depends completely on my read on the player and his style. Flopping a set against an agressive player usually means slowplaying will get you paid. On the other hand, if you're up against a tighty, you aren't going to get paid regardless so bet the pot to force him to pay for his draw (if he has one).

Was Michael Madsen sitting at your table?

Ahh, for some reason I assumed this was a small stakes 1/2 limit game... probably because that is the games we see most questions from. This would be a terrible fold in a 1/2 game. So in a 10/20 game where I didn't think my opponents were retarded monkies... I'm not sure what I would have done here, I would have had to be in the game with reads, but I suspect I would have called the flop craziness and watched how things went on the turn. It is a standard line in the 10/20 to bet crazy on the flop , in order to buy free cards on the turn and river and also to make weak tight players fold.edit: By the way in the future if you want to get a discussion going about a hand it is best to not post the results until the next day imo, to get unpolluted answers. Also, when I've taken shots at the 10/20 I've had to drop back down in limits so I am not a winning 10/20 player yet... so take my advice for what it's worth (not much at all on the 10/20 level)i appreciate the advice. However, a couple things: 1) this was a 10-20 game, all descent players. -
It was worse than bad. It was terrible. There is one queen left in the deck, you don't fold flopped trips in a low stakes limit game on a rainbow flop. Not ever.

yup, the fpp tournies are great. You can do more with pstars points than any other site's points I know of.
-
pstars is a great site to learn poker on. It has the microest micro limits, and the cheapest tournies. I played their freeroll tournies every day for a while when I was learnign tournies, then i played their $1 and $3 tournies. Not for the payout, but for the experience. They don't charge any juice on the $1 and $3 tournies either, which is pretty cool of them. Anyway, you should know a $3 tournies isnt going to pay huge, that's not what $3 tournies are for.

I think not raising KK pre-flop in a low-stakes limit game is a clear mistake.Pre flop - I don't like the re-raise, but that's my style (I prefer KK multiway, because I'm happier with greater variance if people will go all the way with mid pair to build my pot more than headsup). We can assume you had good reason for it though, so it's not a bad play. -
Obviously the OP has watched Bill Fillmaff's video and knows that everyone must know the only way they can beat him is through random fluctuations of luck! I bet he has the same problem as Bill when he plays the 2 man sit n goes: Finished second, finished second, finished second, disqualified for urinating on the table, finished second.

I once saw spirit rock sitting at that game with 250, 000. I believe the max buy in was 25, 000. He is amazing to watch. He sets people up so sneakily, and takes a lot of medium risks so that he can get big pay offs down the road.
-
that's pretty depressing. The guy that threw the coupon deserved a punch in the mouth, he's lucky the losing player didnt take his anger out on him.
-
Terrible terrible fold on an uncoordinated board. If you wanted honest feedback you shouldn't have told the results up front. But there is no way I take it this far and dont go to showdown.

I finished 77th playing as BlankCheck. Took a lot of tough beats over the tourney, including losing all in with aa vs ak. Soon after that I was down to 300 chips, but fought my way back up to 50, 000. Then my luck started to turn again and I took a nose dive. End up losing a key pot when I pushed against a consistent blind stealer, only to be called with my 22 vs KT. Dropped me down to 8kish chips from 22kish and soon I was dealt the dreaded KK and lost all in vs some garbage hand i dont even remember. Ah well, that's poker. Was a decent tourney overall. I made a few mistakes that I shouldnt have... my bluff with 22 I probably shouldnt have made since it seemed like the blind stealer was something of a calling station. I might have done better if I hadn't been playing a cash game at same time as the tourney, shrug. Probably not though, most (but not all) of the big hands I lost I couldn't have gotten away from.At least MarionSauce told me she loved me. We are getting married next week.

You will never make money at limit holdem if you eternally fear a set. You are giving him too much credit. It is possible that he has qq or aa here, but considering you hold 1 ace and 1 queen it is less likely than it would usually be. It is far more likely that he holds AK and is trying to push people out of the pot so they don't outdraw him. Maybe you lost this one, but even if you did that is no excuse for playing this hand scared. You should have raised the turn for sure. If he three bet then I might have slowed down, but probably I would have capped it.
-
playing any ace king queen or jack with a weak kicker is almost always a bad idea. You will often find yourself outkicked and this is a costly mistake.I ocassionally play Ax agressively when it is folded to me in the sb of a tourney.I'd much rather play 23o than a2o.
-
My standard line heads up vs a lag is to check/call top pair on the flop and check raise the turn.
-
HMmmmmmmmm. Well, given your read I don't see how you can fold to a lag here. From your preflop raise he probably has you on AK and with this flop he is willing to bluff at it. Also he prob had the BB on a flush or straight draw. Basically this would be a good spot to bluff if you did indeed have 2 missed overcards. It is also possible that he has TT JJ. Or he could have akspades or kqspades AKs actually being a favourite to win here. If it were just the two of you heads up I'd probably smooth call and then decide on the turn how I wanted to procede depending on whethere another spade or straight card fell. But here I think you want to drive out the BB's draw and try to take the pot immediately. He could have you beat here with a set or higher overpair, but I think it is more likely that you have him beat. I'd probably push here to drive the BB off his draw.

generally speaking live low stakes NL games are weaker than online. That goes for low stakes limit games as well. I would expect a profit following smash's guide to pushing with the nuts, but it would be pretty boring.
-
I think I would have played it basically the same. With the bet of 400 on the flop the guy is saying "Hi, I have a king. Take your straight or flush draws and go home" Now you have the choice of smooth calling or raising. If you smooth call you are saying "Hi, I have either a flush or straight draw." Now the problem with saying that, of course, is if you hit your flush draw on the turn he will fold. However this also gives you the ability to bluff at a straight if the third straight card falls. But if you miss both the straight and flush cards you can be sure he will make it too expensive for you on the turn to draw on the river. By making the min raise here you're sending a message that you are strong and 'hey, give me a few more of your chips'. By saying that you set up the turn so he may check to you on the turn (if he is terrible). You also give yourself a chance to bluff if your flush card misses. The all in bet by the last player is him saying "Hi, I have either 2 pair or a set. Give me all your monies and go away" Now he could also be semi-bluffing with a straight or flush draw here but it would be a horrible horrible spot to semi-bluff and if that is what he is doing he should be slapped. His most likely hand to push with here is probably 9T. You have to call though at this point, if you had smooth called the 400 flop bet you could probably get away from this all-in.I say you have to call based on how you played it. I am curious though how others would have played it from the git-go (ie. the poster tells us what he did and when, but I don't think anyone has critiqued the way he played it). -
