YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!12 internets duly awarded. -
Good Will HuntingLet's have a caramel instead.(first to name the movie gets 12 internets) -
how cool does it make you feel to sit around on the internet and make fun of peoples grammar and or topics. I mean you must have a real interesting like to never come up with threads of your own but sit around and critique other people. bravo sirI actually wrote a book about Unger back in '99.It was titled "Google It You Lazy Bastard".On an unrelated note, use caps whenever you use I.Your poker playin' prof might appreciate it. -
well you have two choices, call or fold. and I know you are making a crying call everytime. so what kind of input are you looking forNo info on villain.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)Hero (t1655)UTG (t3860)UTG+1 (t915)MP1 (t1390)MP2 (t1000)MP3 (t2020)CO (t1230)Button (t1470)SB (t1460)Preflop: Hero is BB with Q

This was exactly my thinking during the hand. That I would check the turn only to call a river bet that was likely a bluff attempt. I call and he tables 99.Don't really think $15 into a $22 pot is weak.As RT says, villian could hold a number of hands being a lag. Thus I like the turn check but only if you call the river. -
live 1-2 NL. Hero has JJ UTG+3. UTG limps, hero makes it $10. All folds to BB who smooth calls, UTG folds. Flop is A 3 4 r. BB checks, Hero bets $15 and BB calls. Turn 8. BB checks, Hero checks. River 5. BB leads out for $30, pot is now roughly $55. Hero?????Up to this point villain has been playing fairly LAG and has shown down what I would refer to as "weak" holdings at showdown. The only problem here is all I can beat is a bluff which the 5 gave him an excellent card to represent a straight. Plus A2, A5, or any A may value bet.

well I was going to wait until a few people posted and see their take on the hand. I thought it was an interesting hand but apparently no one else did. Anyways I insta call him and he showed me AQ. At the time I thought it was an easy call, but a good friend of mine who was at the table with me gave me some grief about the call. He said it was way to easy for me to be beat(which I disagreed with) and I didnt really have a lot of money in there to call off $500 with 10s full.excuse me trip 10s not 10s full. lol got a bit carried awayprobably should have raised the turnas played, i disagree that you have to have a 10 to play it this way, you could easily have a hand like A-K, and he could probably have A-J also which you can beat, and don't discount the possibility that he has K-K or J-J here and is just going out of his mind, since you have seen him bluff...i instacall -
ok super loose, live 1-2 NL.Villain is LAG and has been caught bluffing atleast twice in the 4 hours I was sitting. Im sitting on around $750 and villain has me covered with around $1k.Anyways Im in the cutoff with J10 spades. Folds around to me and I make it $8 to go. Villain reraises to $25 in the small blind. I call. Flop is A 10 10 rainbow. He checks, I bet $30. Villain c/r to $75. I smooth call and turn comes a Q. Villian bets $100 and I call. River is a 9, villain moves all in and I?????**edit** I know it looks like AK, but I think the way I have played the hand he has to almost certainly put me on a 10 here. So why shove unless you can beat or almost certainly tie a 10. Also I dont think he reraises PF here with any 10 in his hand unless he has A10 suited. I really wanted to put him on AK but only because I can beat that hand. I think I can narrow his range to AK, AA, QQ...any thought?

-$1-2 NL at Daytona Beach Poker Room.-Very very very loose game with tons of fish.-opening raises are usually 6-7X BB-Im sitting with $135 I am in cut-off with AhAs. 4 people limp to me and I raise to $18. Big raise but any cheaper and one guy will call and all the other limpers will think they are priced in. Button calls, SB calls, UTG limper calls. Pot is roughly $88. I have $115 left in my stack. Flop is 3h 5h Jh. SB and UTG check. I think for a few and push all-in. button folds and SB calls, UTG folds. SB turns up 6h9h. Ok so I am now wondering if I made the right play. My logic at the time was if I pushed I might get called by a worse hand and draw. Like Kh Jc. Plus the pot is so huge even taking it down there would give me 75% more chips without having to showdown. Now that I am thinking about it though I have reasoned that maybe I should bet smaller and try to extract chips from those weaker pairs and flush draws and if someone like the SB check raises me here I can possible get away from it. But man its tough folding AA especially when you know youre drawing to the nuts.

This is one of those tricky situations where he could have flush draw + pair. He would also play AQ, or a set the same. I say you made the correct decision with the push and if you run into 333 then so be itVillian is 26/21/11.5 over 170+ handsAbsolute PokerNo Limit Holdem Ring gameBlinds: $0.50/$16 playersConverterStack sizes:UTG: $138.50Hero: $292.12CO: $202.50Button: $10.40SB: $48.25BB: $68.20Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG+1 with K

ummm how can you not put villian on nut flush draw and now top pair, possibly aces up. I think you are drawing dead to only a non heart 5 7 8 10.I apologize in advance, the hand history for this particular hand did not show up in my folder for some reason so i could not convert, so please bear with me.Hero: 88.90Seat 2: 180Seat 3: 200Seat 4: 95Seat 5: 155Seat 6: 320Pre-Flop: Hero is big blindDealt to Hero [ Jh 10h 8d 7c]ACTION: seat3 calls, seat4 calls, seat 5 folds, seat 6 completes, Hero checks Pot = $10Flop [ 9h 6h 2d ] Action: Seat 6 bets $8, Hero raises to $32, rest fold.... seat 6 thinks forever and calls. Pot = $74Turn [ 9h 6h 2d Ad ] Action: Seat 6 bets enough to put hero all in, hero calls So my raise on the flop is basically me being agressive in a limped pot hoping to take it down with lots of outs. When the villian takes forever and calls, i put him on a weak flush draw or maybe a smaller straight draw. When he puts me all in on the turn, i think i may be up against maybe aces up, but i still have tons of outs. Did i play this alright? What could have been done differently? I felt i was pretty much committed to the hand after the flop -
wow how many times in these small stakes sngs have I seen guys limp monster hands UTG and reraise a late position raiser. Im putting villain on a hand where he wants to force everyone behind him to fold and mybe have position on a blind. I think villains range is 66-1010, AQ suited, AK, AK suited. I say you reraise to 350 since that looks like a strong hand. If someone picks up AA, KK, or QQ behind you, their money is going in and you can now get away from JJ. Or everyone folds and UTG moves in, in which youre either a slight fav or a huge fav. I say maximizing every oppotunity is the best way to play Single table sngs.So villains range here is purely QQ,KK,AA? I'm with simo, flat call, if we raise here we have t make it 300ish and then if someone comes over the top of us we're in a difficult spot.Flat call and re-evaluate postflop, we do have position. -
So a few days ago I meet this dude Buddy at a cash game held at a friend of a friends house. Well we got to talking and supposedly he usually plays in a cash game 3 or 4 nights a week out in the country. So I let him know I am down to play any time and we exchange numbers. Well yesterday afternoon he calls me and says I can meet him at his place and we can ride together. I get to his place and we ride out to the game. Its in the basement of some rich dudes house. But the basement is ultra bad *** with a big screen, pool table and some other cool stuff making it seem more like a sports bar.Anyways its a tournament, but we played s a mix of NL Hold 'em and PL Omaha. The buy-in was $100 with 2000 in starting chips, unlimited rebuys for the first hour. 19 people in. My table was the one with 9 and first hand I get dealt 45 hearts. UTG raises to 3X BB to 150 and like 5 people call including me in MP. The flop comes out GIN A23. UTG leads out, guy to the right of me moves in I call and UTG calls. Im like WTF is this the first hand? UTG shows A10 suited????WTF and dude to my right shows A2. Anyways turn is 2 and Im felted already. So me and UTG re-buy and now my plan is to sit back and wait on some premiums. I only brought $400 with me so Im already half bought it and its been 1 hand. So I fold hand after hand while everyone plays loose and crazy for the next 45 minutes blinding down to 1300. With the blinds at 100/200 with 10 minutes until break I pick up AA in the BB. MP raises to 800 and button calls. I move all in and they both call. Flop is A44 and gg me Im up to around 4k right before break.During break I talk to Buddy whos playing at the other table and see hes doing well with over 8k. BTW there ended up being 32 re buys. So final pot ended up being $5100 top 3 pay.After break, and still with 19 players the action tightens up a bit and I begin stealing like crazy. In 30 minutes my stack has grown to over 6k when the following hand occured. I raise from the hi-jack with AsKs and the chip leader moved in from the small blind. I insta-call figuring him for making a play with a weaker ace. Im close as he shows KcJc. He says he thought I was stealing so he made a move. Anyways the flop comes out Jd 4c 7h turn is a 9c and its even worse when the dealer peels off the Ad of the juicy 2 outer. All of a sudden Im sitting with over 11k in chips, which is 10% of the chips in play with 19 left. All of a sudden it was like this huge hand woke everyone up because within a matter of 30 minutes 8 people went out leaving us with 11. Still chip leader I got involved in another big pot against this older TAG player with about 8500. I was BB and he raised from the Button to 3X the BB to 1800. I look down at AQ and call him. the flop is KQ4 and I check. He puts out 2200 leaving himself about4500 behind. While he was cutting out chips I was intending to fold. I figured no reason to get involved at this point with a guy who could hurt me. But after seeing the amount he bet, I felt he was weak and moved him all in. He insta-folded disgustedly. lolAnyways to speed things along I get down to 4 handed. Somehow old LAGGY man came back and was now chip leader with over 55k and I was second with 25k. The other two have been playing tight trying to squeek in the money when LAG raises again and one short stack moves in. LAG has a hand this time with QQ and gg we're in the money. $2600, 1500, 1000.Anyways I get heads up and pick up KK he moves me all in I call he shows A4 and makes a wheel. Oh well fun night, hope you guys enjoy the read. now time to go score some dank

Villian had AK, AQ, or AJ. Forget about J10 and get it in here right now on the flop. most people at these stakes proably call with J10 on the flop and let AK or in this case AA move in when the 3 hits the turn. why just call and let a 10 or J hit the turn and force you into a dough decision? So say villain has AJ and the turn is a J. now you check and he has even more of a hand to represent and now you probably will fold to his shove or bet. If you just move in on the flop you give him a chance to call you off drawing almost dead or get him to fold a hand that could felt you on the turn.all in on the flop has to be +++evoh and tell me when we get to the part where you folded to his turn shove and he showed QQ...P.S. i still think he has TJ here most times -

I guess the stop and go doesn't work so well when they hit 2 pair, he did wait about 15 seconds before calling, the jerk, lol. Obviously his raising range is huge, being the boss stack and near the bubble, he knows most people are scared to go out. My other option was to shove pre flop, although he might have called just 'cause he had the chips, then i could whine about how J8>KQ, lol. I'm not particularly upset with the result, any thoughts on using the stop and go here, you think my stack was big enough to be effective against the big stack, or was i getting called by ace high or better here? -
remember this is a $50 nl game. so you have to adjust the thinking level. without any reads or hands played with villian we can hardly tell if hes even tried to put hero on a hand here. Im putting him on 55, 33, possibly some rag hand like 4 6 suited but thats pushing, A9 also seems reasonable. Althought with A9 youd expect a raise or check raise on the flop. Of course assuming our opponent here is a level 1 thinker and hasnt put hero on an overpair. Wow I feel for the pros, playing in a tournament where you are playing with hundreds of opponents whos thinking level varies from infinity to non-existentDump it and bet more on the flop with multiple villains involved next time.Meh. I'm going to rethink this a little. You never showed much desire for this pot. I'd hate to call and see an 89, but this is why we bet harder on the flop ... to define our hand to the opponent and ourselves. At the river, I can see JJ TT QQ, even A9, saying to himself, "the raiser's AK or AQ didn't hit. I must be good." A missed flush draw pushes on the scare card as well. ... This is more complicated than it seemed. -
this reminds me of the Full Tilt Commercial where the noob is asking Erick Lindgren about a hand and Mike "the mouth" walks up and rips the guys cards up.fold. -
Tighten up....fold preflop. btw even if top 2 is good here, you are probably behind someones wrap or will be behind once all 5 cards come out. most of the time. unless an A pops off on the turn, then youre a genious.I think im much better at Omaha than I really am....very early on. nobody seems to be very good.stacks:RISE ~ 2700CO ~ 2900Button ~ 2900blinds 15/30RISE is MP with A 8 J Q PF: 3 folds, RISE calls, 1 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB checksFlop: (t150) A 8 5 SB checks, BB checks, RISE bets 100, CO raises to 450, Button calls 450, SB folds, BB folds, RISE raises to 1200....i know top 2 isn't generally great, but the only high im losing to right now is 55. CO could have 234 which would suck for me, but i figured he's more than likely raising a low and button was calling with one. or a naked A. -
Yeah A8 seems pretty reasonable. But dont you think with A8 he raises the flop. I think the only hands he might just call the flop and turn with are 77, 33, 56, 910. I say unless you have a good read that he has 888 or better I would call here for all my money and hope to see 910.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)MP2 (t1500)MP3 (t1480)CO (t1480)Button (t1460)Hero (t1560)BB (t1500)UTG (t1500)UTG+1 (t1500)MP1 (t1500)Preflop: Hero is SB with Q , Q . 2 folds, MP1 calls t20, 3 folds, Button calls t20, Hero raises to t80, 1 fold, MP1 calls t60, Button calls t60.Flop: (t260) 8 , 3 , 7 (3 players)Hero bets t120, MP1 folds, Button calls t120.Turn: (t500) 8 (2 players)Hero bets t200, Button calls t200.River: (t900) 9 (2 players)Hero checks, Button bets t1060 (All-In), Hero folds.Final Pot: t1960I had raised the last 2 hands and had everyone fold pre flop with AJ and AA, this guy had limped both times, so i figured he might be playing back at me.

alright I see 2 scenarios going on here. 1. You are just completely joking about how much you like Hellmuth, actually making fun of him in kind of a sarcastic manner. In that case, you are pretty funny sir. or2. you actually love Phil Hellmuth, and you aren't joking. Which makes you a complete ******.ty to all my fans out there. I appreciate your support. No matter how small and pathetic your life may seem, I'm glad that you can feel comfort in the fact that I am ought there working hard to bring the newest, most interesting poker stories to your attention. -
I dont know how some of you guys do it. I sit here and watch a few of you crush tourneys on stars. I have deposited probably no less than 6 times on stars, most of these probably $100 or $50. Anyways my cashouts thusfar equals 0. On Bodog I was consistently able to build a $100 buy-in into some serious scratch, but there payout process sucks so I thought Id give Jokerstars another shot. No worries its the same for me. Sit around and play tight, watch the donks knock eachother out all in with AJ vs 44 with the blinds at 25/50, then when I pick up AA or kk....well you know the rest. anyways on Bodog I was playing a somewhat lag since most of them are passive and wont reraise unless holding nuts. anyways funny thing, last night I was so frustrated because all my bluffs were being called or raised. so Im like what am I doing wrong here. so I tighten up, get kk raise it up on the button, and the small blind moves in, I obv call and he shows 36ss. anyways he hits his flush and now Im like well atleast I know they are making moves with junk. anyways a few rounds later I bump it with AJ suited, anyways same guy moves in on me again and I call and he shows AQ off and he holds. anyways that left me a bit confused and now Im deciding what to do as I have lost another $50 today. i want to try to keep playing at pokerstars because they tournies are so awesome, but seriously that place is suckout city....and not just for me. ok sorry guys. End rant

I dont think that hand is near as good as the one with Alex Jacob and that DeMichelle dude at the final table of the USPCi would put the Ivey hand as #1 -
wow sir your wittiness impresses us all it really does. in fact I feel so taken aback that I fell there is no other choice then to surrender. could you please with your intellectual prowess find the best place for me to make a deposit?Oh.... $100That's different then....and your sarcastic wit is indeed rapier sharp......keep the point down when running with it. -
