Rhegium

I was at the Borgata last weekend in a 430 buy-in satellite for 2000 buy-in Deep Stack. I think overall I am an above average player but style is a little more agressive and loose than yours. I play alot of suited connectors and one-gappers if cheap and in late posistion. Anyway this hand came up early in the tournament. 1 out of 5 gets in through the Satelite. In the cutoff with KQ suited clubs with 6300 in chips. Starting stack is 7,000. A donkey in middle posistion limps in for 100. Blinds are 50/100 no antes. The reason he is a donkey is because we have played 20 hands and he has b

Wasn't a bad beat story, I just want to know how to play in a game like this. Super tight or play marginal and try to out play them or some other strategy in a game like this. You don't usually encounter people who aren't rich throwing hundreds of dollars on flush draws.

Every friday night there is an extremely loose cash game. I mean the mother of all loose cash games. I have played three times, lost 1500, won 2800 and lost 1600. How do you play these games? Last time i decided to play extremely tight and not bet unless I had atleast top pair. No continuation bets and I called with draws on very good pot odds. Examples of some hands.In the BB for 5 dollars with Q(club) 2(club). Playing short stacked after a bad beat and only have 150 behind. Flop comes Q67 Rainbow. I bet the pot which is 30 and get one caller. An albanian who loves playing draws or

The reason I felt to go all in after the flop was if no one bet, I should have the best hand most of the time since these players are not that sophisticated. I only would get check-raised by a monster and that would only happen 20% of the time in my estimation, i.e. a set.

This I feel is an extremely difficult hand to play out because of the table dynamics and my overall table image. First the game is 5/5 No-Limit Cash Game, the money is real. Second this is an incredibly loose table, standard 3 and 4 times raises pre-flop are like checking. Third my table image is loose very aggressive. Fourth, no matter what, if they have any kind of draw, especially a flush draw, there is no way to bet anyone off their hand.There are two schools of thought in how to play a table like this. Common Sense is to play tight and hit them hard when you make a hand. Barry Green

I am getting extremely supersticious about playing AJ. To be honest, I have taken bad beats, lost races and acutally called hands against AK and AQ against it. I hate this hand. Whats worse, when I am getting this hand I am playing it extremely poorly because I feel such dread with it. My poker tracker stats say its a loser for me at any posistion.Any advice on this?Just drop the hand whenever, just play really tight with it or am I overreacting?Thanks

With what you put in on a the flop you have no choice but to call for odds against his range of hands. I would make a decision right there on the flop, push or fold, either one.

I thought I was golden on this flop, I mean could I have done anything at all different. Nice little score coming in 4th out of 1500 but I should've been easy top 2. Questions concern playing the one guy that could bust me, since I was second by far and he was 1st. Should I not have re-raised pre-flop and pushed hard on flop since again he was the only guy who could bust me? 4th was 460, 3rd was 620, 2nd was 880, 1st 1440.ThanksFullTiltPoker Game #5558135958: Early Double - A (41542700), Table 48 - 10000/20000 Ante 2500 - No Limit Hold'em - 21:24:26 ET - 2008/03/08Seat 1: SPHERATU (390,776

I guess I should've folded it, but I couldn't because he called a UTG raise at UTG + 1. In the end I said if he has it I have to pay it. Also could've had a set and I should've folded because it looked like it. I just can't see how I could fold this hand especially in the posistions it was played.FullTiltPoker Game #5465381768: $17,000 Guarantee (41406354), Table 14 - 20/40 - No Limit Hold'em - 1:12:00 ET - 2008/03/02Seat 1: macamiah (2,940)Seat 2: billyallday32 (2,495)Seat 3: bballlind711 (2,985)Seat 4: BlackWarCloud (3,690)Seat 5: Rhegium (3,105)Seat 6: EliteOzz (6,115)Seat 7: Calculate T

Probably played this too passively, but I am really trying to eliminate C-Bets out of posistion because even if I get called on this and he has A high I am screwed for the turn and river. What do you do?Also I am getting killed raising in early posistion with post-flop play. Any advice would be great.

Yeah standard raise it, he just calls and you call all in flop hes gone and you win. The object is to survive and you do that by winning pots without showdowns.

Hey everyone, writing very exhausted right now. Just got home after winning 2nd place in the foxwoods $ 1000 buy in the World Poker Finals. $ 73,000 is nice, but I so wanted that trophy and it was beautiful. In case yuou were wondering, I lost to Nam Le of all people, he is an awesome player. In the end though, it was the cards against me with him, I pounded him all throughout the final table, he just got two better hands that got me in the end. 2 days of playing hard. Cooler hand, I had 1.7 million in chips with 6 players remaining, total chips in play 3.1 million in play. Nam in sb and
