Mandelbrot 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Dont have one. Busted out early - some days your heart is just not in it. Good luck to the remainders. Link to post Share on other sites
Ebonwoulfe 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 haha I busted out too... tried to steal with A-2 from button. Felt like someone over-aggressively defending his BB when he raised me a little preflop then bet all in on the flop of AJ4 or something close. Oh well. Link to post Share on other sites

Suited_Up 2 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Yeah, I sucked today. Went all-in with a semi-bluff flush draw and backdoor straight possibility... Called by KK and never caught up. I never make that play, but for some reason decided to do it today. I see people do it all the time, I'm offically done with flush draws.... Fcuk Em!

OK, so if a heart or a six comes, I'm fat. If a 9, T, J, Q, K or A comes we split. I still think I got it in with the best against a loose-aggressive player like qronic though. I had gotten lucky earlier with qronic with Q9 against AQ. He limped in, which should have been my first clue he was holding something good, and I moved in, he called and I caught a 9 on the river to double up.SQUIRRELBONE said, "gg"______qronic collected 46920 from pot______qronic said, "gg"*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 46920 | Rake 0 Board [Th 2h Kd As 5c]Seat 3: Pupsta folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 4: SQUIRRELBONE (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 5: ______qronic (small blind) showed [8d Ad] and won (46920) with a pair of AcesSeat 6: poguemahone1 (big blind) showed [Ah 6h] and lost with a pair of Aces4th place, not bad for my second one, made 3rd in my first one last Sunday.My hat's off to you qronic, you were really playing great and if you're a woman, I apologize for the "he" references!

dna4ever 2 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I went out early too, two huge bad hands.My KK went up against some dude with a hat that hat TT and hit his trips. Busted out when my JJ ran up 77 which also tripped.I then went and hit the limit tables and made back my money so I am happy again. Time for bed. Laterz Link to post Share on other sites
murphy77 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I still think I got it in with the bestMan, and here I was thinking that when you "get in with the best" it means that you had a better hand and went all in, whereas you were never ahead during any point of the hand. Guess you learn something new every day... Link to post Share on other sites

Guess you learn something new every day...Yeah, I typed that wrong. You're absolutely right. I went all-in thinking I had the best of it, based on his play for the last half hour or so. Obviously he had me all the way, but not by much. Thanks for pointing that out though.*edit* After doing the math:On the flop I was a %45.15 favorite to his %34.14 and a %20.71 chance to tie.On the turn I was a %27.27 slight dog to his %31.82 and a %40.91 chance to tie.So, here's your chance to learn something today, murphy77 Link to post Share on other sites
Naz13 0 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Actually poguemahone68 you were 55.5% to win on the flop because of your flush draw. Even the As on the turn only brought you down to 47.7% - still a virtual coinflip. That percentage combined with the fact that he had been stealing blinds by reraising every hand makes it a toss-up. Personally I think what set you up is the fact that you were very passive pre-flop and post-flop by just calling both times. The As on the turn effectively killed you because it kept you in a hand that was marginal at best. The one way you could have avoided going broke on the hand is either raise or fold. The flat call perplexes me because at best you are on a semi-bluff w/ your flush draw. If you had put him on a bluff, ideally you would have raised to $15,000. The all-in move at this point reeks of a bluff, but a re-raise for a good portion of your remianing chips sends out a message of strength - you're telling him you're willing to play out this hand all the way. On the other hand, if you actually think he's hit a legitimate hand on the flop you release the hand. Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand, if you actually think he's hit a legitimate hand on the flop you release the hand.I didn't reraise preflop, because if I had and then he reraised again, I would have a harder time calling, especially if he moved all-in. I certainly wouldn't want to call an all-in for 23,410 in chips with an A6s. My thinking at the time was, ok, let's see a flop. The flop is where I think you are right about reraising a good p0rtion of my chips. I still wasn't willing to commit all my chips on that flush draw alone, so again, let's see another card. A comes on the turn and now I'm trapped, because neither one of us is going anywhere. I decided to just put him to the decision of calling all but 1970 of his chips (11,760 more), which he did with aces and an 8 kicker and not much hope for help on the river.Another mistake was tangling with the only guy at the table that could bust me. I've seen it so many times, yet I still do it. Unless you're the chip leader, it's bound to happen at some point. I have to give props to qronic, AKA, Gus Hansen, for making plays earlier that set me up in that hand.I've noticed that when I get down to 5 or so in a tourney that I take less time to make decisions than I do just outside or inside the bubble. I realize that this is when I should be thinking about my plays more, so that's something I'll be working on. Thanks for the response Naz. Link to post Share on other sites
