Lol at this retarded thread.
-
OK so here's the updates.He checks behind on the turn.river is the A
. I check and he bets 700.Now fold right?I don't have enough left to get him off his hand, barely enough to minraise, so that's out of the question, and there is no hand I can beat IMO.As for "tester betting" the turn, I would have to bet at least 800 since we each just put in 660 on the flop for it not to look weak, and any bet would commit me for my whole stack, and I don't want to commit my whole stack with this hand, so I don't think that's possible. I still finished up 200 on the night, not great, but better than losing. Is 1200 really a short-buy for 10-20? I would consider 500-600 a short buy, but 60 BBs is less than I usually buy in for, but not quite a short buy IMO. idk.Oh yeah, and that would be the last time I play in that game. It wasn't crazily hard, and I am NEVER scared money on the table, but I just really don't have the roll to be playing that high yet, so don't worry about that 
lol, thanks for the replies. -
1. OTB, sure.2. Some, not all. Definitely not weak/passive though if that's what you were getting at3. Idk, four maybe.Wow. Does he seem like the type of guy to limp with 57? Was he limping into alot of pots? How many people limped in before it got to the button? -
The game is 10-20 NLHE at a local card club. Which is much higher than my usual 1-2/2-5, but the smaller games weren't running tonight, so I jumped in the "big game" with the highrollers. Kind of a mistake.I bought in for $1200 and was up to over $2000 in the first few hours. Here's the hand.The first player in this hand is Raj Patel, winner of the WPT event at foxwoods this past April and $1.4 million dollars. The other guy in question is a local pro, with some good finishes at other foxwoods tournaments, and a regular 10-20 NL player. So there are a bunch of limpers, and I am in the SB with 6
4 . I flick in the $10 and we see a multiway flop. 6 4 
3 . I lead out for $60. Raj calls. The button makes it $260. I reraise to $660. Raj folds. The other guy then asks me, how much I have left, ~1400, and then asks me if he calls, will I push all in on the turn. I say, well that depends what the turn is. He calls the $400.Turn is the 5 . Pretty much the worst card in the deck.Now what?Results to come. -
so what happens now? I was shorthanded in like 6 SNGs simultaneously. Do I get my chip equity back or what? how does that work.

Yes.You're in the money, so take a risk and go for the win. He will probably fold anyways.Is this an easy push-reraise? -

Their is no luck at all in the long run. When I play turbo's, I push all in if people are limping in, if it is worth the risk to increase my stack by at least 25%. Also if the button minraises at the 75/50 and 100-200 level, I'm pushing all in over the top every single time regardless of what I have. Never let yourself get below 5 BBs. And be extremely aggressive on the bubble. Turbo's especially and even regular sit n goes to an extent are not real poker. I am never playing any flops, just pushing all in before the flop. When I do this, I always make sure I am first to the pot, unless I have a very strong hand. If you play the turbo's, just realize that its not going to be like seeing flops and outplaying people. Just push in.Well, I tried one tonight and busted out in 6th. The one major difference I found with the turbo is that you don't have nearly as much time in the early rounds to see flops cheaply in the hopes of hitting a big hand. If you don't win a big pot early, you find yourself shortstacked pretty quickly. I busted out when I open-pushed in the SB w/ 98s into a pair of 7's in the BB.Would it be fair to say that the luck factor is more emphasized in turbos because the blinds climb so quickly? -
Fold.What if you had aces? Still Fold.
-
Check/raising out of the blinds makes it pretty obvious you are strong. Since he limped in preflop, he probably doesnt have an ace. If you're going to check, you might as well check/call the whole way to let him hang himself more. Otherwise lead out, hope to get raised, then you can win an even bigger pot when he does have an ace.One more hand I wanted some feedback on - should I have played differently in order to extract more chips ?keep in mind the villan is an active player that likes to play many pots.PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)saw flop|saw showdownMP2 (t5753)CO (t4513)Button (t12921)SB (t25865)Hero (t8185)UTG (t6475)UTG+1 (t6424)MP1 (t9001)Preflop: Hero is BB with 9 , 6 . 2 folds, MP1 calls t200, 4 folds, Hero checks.Flop: (t575) A , 6 , 6 (2 players)Hero checks, MP1 bets t600, Hero raises to t2600, MP1 folds.Final Pot: t3775No showdown.

Opt for the latter, play for the win.I was torn between check/folding to get in the money and playing it aggressively to chip up because taking down a decent sized pot here puts me safely in the top 3 where the majority of the money is with this payout structure. -
I would have reraised all in before the flop. As played this is an instacall.AK is not a foldable hand before the flop in a sit n go.

1. Bad idea. Wait for big hands to trap a maniac.2. There's nothing wrong with calling off all of your chips with this draw, even though it is early. With 15 outs twice, and maybe even 3 aces for 18, you're a favorite over one pair, or even two pair, and you're close to even money against a set. (I'm sure someone would be glad to pokerstove it.) This is an instant call.CO was a maniac in my eyes, so i called OOP with an awful hand -
Whew, I was hoping someone would say that instead of everyone being like check duh.Yeah I decided to push because no one was showing strength and I stood to increase my stack by 30% if everyone folded. Even if they do call, I'm not likely to be dominated.I did have a tight image as I always do in the early levels.

Poker doesn't have very many absolutes, but I think never fold AK in a SNG is one of them. I shove.

Theres more than one way to approach a rebuy

Hand 16: I also like a lead rather than a checkraise on this flop. If you checkraise, your announcing the strength of your hand. On a flop like this, either someone has an ace or they don't, if they do, you're likely to get raised, then they are pot committed when you shovel, instead of having a chance to get off of AK or A Q or J 10 or something like that.Hand 20: I usually raise when I am first to the pot because it gives you control of the hand, a chance to steal the blinds without confrontation, and they never know what you have if you play different hands the same. I think I would give some consideration to checking behind on the turn on this hand. The villain seems extremely weak, leading from the blind, just calling your raise, then checking the turn. You may be giving him a free shot at the flush or straight draw, but he is only about 20% to hit if that's what he has, and if he misses you are sure to get some good bluff money by acting like the ace scared you on the turn. Your bet on the turn is for over 1/3 of his stack, and he definitely does not have an ace, so you might be scaring him away. I like all other streets though.Hand 21: Same thing preflop.I would probably bet the turn here. The ten isn't really a scary card to me and no one is representing strength. IF someone is slowplaying a monster, you're sure to find out if you bet like 150-175.Hand 23: Value bet the river for 50, fold to a big raise.Hand 25: I don't understand why you limped Q J in the exact same situation before, on the button, but not this time. Hand 32: I check this flop. You're not going to get action from a worse hand. Good fold later on the flop though. Hand 33: Checks to the button and he minbets? Extremely weak. I come over the top of that every time.Hand 43: Even though you're in position, I don't like calling raises with those typeof hands, rather making the raise from late position.Hand 60: Ballsy. Could go either way though.Hand 69: I like it.Hand 74: I wouldn't play 55 for over half my stack. Since you are obviously putting the guy all in or folding. If you do want to play this hand I would probably just call the raise preflop then move in on any flop, utilizing the stop and go. Since you're going to get it all in anyways, you might as well gain an little fold equity this way. You also take away his ability to see all five cards if he does have AK or somethign like it.Hand 83: I probably would have looked her up and maybe led the turn if it was safe looking. The min bet is weak, you probably could have taked that one down with a little aggression.Hand 86: This is a pretty big overbet. I would rather see a standard reraise or even just a call to disguise the strength of your hand. Hand 95: Standard given his stack size.Hand 97: I dont like it from early position. Hand 124: When someone from the blinds who didn't raise preflop leads out, they usually have the kind of hand you had here. Top pair no kicker, or second pair or something weak. I usually check unless I flop an absolute monster. Hand 125: I don't like completing here. Even though you're getting good odds, what kind of flop are you really looking for besides two pair or trips? More often than not you're going to flop a king, bet out, get raised and wind up folding. So, yes, you're getting over 9 to 1, but if you just fold now, you're going to save that 400 or so that you would have lost when the flop came king high.Hand 152: Be careful raising hands like these with shortstacks behind you, especially in the Big Blind, because you are pot committed if he pushes, and maybe you don't want peopel knowing that you raise with Q 9. Hand 164: I would probably call and see the flop. You definitely have live cards, and you're getting about 5 1/2 to 1. Also there is a good chance that "doubled39" would check it down with you since someone is all in. If not, no big deal.Hand 168: I smooth call the flop. Raising has no value, and he is obviously weak with the min-bet. Just call and he will check the turn. Check behind on the turn and let him bluff again on the river.Hand 175: If you're going to smooth call the flop, I would check behind on the turn. Same reasons as hand 168. Either that or raise the flop and hope he has a king. I think I like raising the flop better, because you might get him to stick it all in now before anymore scare cards roll off.Hand 180 : I like the line you took here.Hand 181: I like limping here more than raising. You don't want to build pots bigger than have to be preflop when you're going to be playing out of position for the rest of the hand. When you limp, it's also harder for the BB to put you on an ace if one flops, so you might get action from second or third pair that way.Hand 182: WTF!! Why are you risking 1/3 of your stack with Q 5? The blinds aren't even really worth stealing to you at this point.Hand 184: Same as hand 168. I raise on the turn though.Hand 202: Check call the river. I don't like betting out, you will never get called by a hand you can beat.Hand 222: This looks like a late position steal to me. I might try a resteal if I was feeling frisky, not a big deal though.Hand 224: Reraise this every time. Maybe you were sitting out or something. That's the only excuse I can think of.Hand 230: I would not have given up so fast. You played this hand a little too weak for my liking, I probably would have checkraised the flop, I doubt he has much.Hand 241: I would raise this hand and try to isolate in position. If you get called by one of the LP players then give it up, but you gotta attack the limpers at this stage. A 9 in position is a good enough hand to do so in my opinion, but proceed with caution obviously.Hand 250: I would have pushed all in in the first place, but as played you're getting almost 2 to 1, I call this all day.Hand 258: You shouldn't be playing any hand at this point that you're not prepared to play for your whole stack, so if you're not going to call the all in reraise, don't raise with it in the first place. That is all. GG sir.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t600 (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)saw flop|saw showdownHero (t10650)UTG (t12325)MP1 (t12047)MP2 (t16550)CO (t9306)Button (t8945)SB (t8932)Preflop: Hero is BB with A
, A . 1 fold, MP1 raises to t1800, 4 folds, Hero calls t1200.Flop: (t3300) 6 , 3 , 7 (2 players)Hero bets t1200, MP1 raises to t4200, Hero raises to t8800So it's on the bubble almost and I don't have a ton of chips, not quite shortstacked but a double up would still be nice. I took the chance in slowplaying my aces preflop, to let him make a continuation bet, or flop a pair and be pot committed. It's giving him a chance to catch up of course, but I feel like that's a risk I need to take in order to get deep in this thing with chips, and give myself a chance to win. I lead weak on the flop, to try to look weak and get him to raise me. I guess it worked.Thoughts? -
Flop call is fine, I fold to the all in reraise

I bet he has the same hand.Shove the turn so you get the last bet in, and hope we are freerolling with the flush draw.Idk maybe that's overplaying AK, and playing a big pot with one pair, so maybe this is bad advice, but that's probably what I would do since I always like to put the pressure on.
