HoosierAlum 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 The connection here isn't great, so I'm going to post this in parts and then combine it when I'm finished. I don't have that much time, so I'm just going to go over the hands I can remember. I don't remember all of the hands I played, but overall I tried to just play small pots and consistently chip up. Thats exactly what I did. I showed down 3 hands all day and had Aces and Kings ZERO times, AK twice and QQ once. I re-raised once pf all day, and just tried to play small pots unless I had a big hand. I sit at my first table in the 7 seat. "Isuck123" from online tournaments was directly to my right. I know he plays ultra-tight, so I wasn't that concerned with him. Another solid online player was directly to my left, although I can't remember his name. In the 3 seat was a solid player who JC said he played with at WPT Niagra. Later in the 2nd level a WPT finalist from Paris (Long white hair and his hands are always shaking) moved 2 to the left of me.We started with 20k and 50-100. The 8th hand I see I open for 300 UTG+1 with AKss. The button is a young asian girl who has opened 6 of the first 8 pots. I'm not sure if she is a maniac or just trying to foster a reckless image. Anyway, she makes it 800 from the button and I smooth call. Flop comes A 7 4 rainbow and I check, she makes an overbet of 2k. I don't want to play a big pot this early with this hand so I plan on just check-calling and seeing what develops. I call the turn pairs the 4 and now a diamond draw is out here. I probably should lead here, but I check and she checks behind. Now I put her on JJ-KK maybe AQ, the river pairs the 7, I make a value bet of 2500 and she mucks.50-100: Doink opens for 300 from the co I call with 56dd from the bb. Flop comes K 5 4 w/1 diamond I check/call 500. Turn pairs 4, I lead 800 he calls. River check check I say "king is good" he shows K9.50-100: 4 limpers I limp otb with 77, blinds call. Flop is 6 2 4 w/2 diamonds. Checked to me I bet 600 only the sb (solid player) calls. I put him on the nuts or FD. Turn is K of diamonds, check check. River is 10 diamonds he thinks and bets 1k, Idk only hand I can beat is like 57 or maybe A6 w.out a diamond. I muck.50-100: Some tiny pots where I took the blinds or where I check folded the flop were in here.100-200: Folded to Isuck123 in the sb he raises to 800, I call from the bb with 88. Flop comes J 8 4 w/2 spaids. He checks I bet 1100 he folds, sigh.100-200: Isuck123 who had been playing REAL tight (so tight that WPT finalist insta-mucked KK pf correctly to isucks 4 bet pf) opens from the co to 600 I call with 66 otb. Flop comes AJx he checks I bet 900 he folds.100-200: Asian girl(who ended up playing pretty damn tight) raises to 800 UTG+1 I call in the CO with 1010. I immediately put her on an AA-JJ or AK she hadn't played a pot in an hour. Flop comes A 8 3 rainbow she leads 1k I make it 3k trying to take her off KK-JJ she thinks forever stares at me and mucks.100-200: 2 limps, I limp otb with A2dd. Flop is 369 w/2 spaids, checked around. Turn is red 8. Checked around. River is a Ac checked to me I value bet 500, guy calls me with K8. (Showdown1)100-200: Isuck123 open limps otb, I complete sb with 68ss, bb checks. Flop K 10 3 w/1 spaid checked aorund. Turn is Qs, I lead 400, all fold.100-200: Folded to me in the sb I limp with some trash and lead the flop bb folds. (This happened a number of times today)Thats all I can remember from this table, I was now moved to a table where I knew noone initially but "Josh" from 2+2 (really good player got coolered set over set and ran horrible) was thereand "-BBJ-" from stars was directly to my left I found out later in the night. I have around 30k when I'm moved to this table.100-200 w/ 25: First hand at the table I open AKo to 600 UTG+1, co smooths bb calls. Flop comes A 10 4 rainbow I lead 1350, co calls. Turn comes J, check check. River is a blank I check figuring the only hand that will call my value bet is AQ, and that he will value bet AQ anyway if I check to him. Also I might get him to bluff some worse hands on the river, so I plan on check calling. Also, he could very easily bluff raise me if I bet the river, and I really couldnt call a river raise. I check/call 2k he tables AQ, AK good. (Showdown 2)100-200 w/25: I had been very active in lp. I open OTB with A2ss for 700, BBJ from the sb makes it 2100, we both have over 30k stacks I call...POSITION! : ) Flop is Q 10 7 w/2 diamonds he checks I bet 3k he insta-mucks. 200-400 w/ 50: Still havent bet at the table long so I have hardly any read. MP opens for 1200 I smooth otb with JJ, bb calls. Flop is 10 4 5 rainbow check, or leads 1800, I decide to just call, my raise here is only getting hands that I beat to fold. To my suprise bb over-calls I put him on 67, a set or A10ish. Turn is Qd putting a diamond draw out there, check, or bets 4k I think and def have to fold especially with the bb behind me, bb mucks instantly. Original raisor shows AA.200-400 w/ 50: I limp UTG with 55, folded to sb who completes bb wraps. I flop a set bet small, no action sigh.200-400 w/50: Big stack CO opens for 1200, I make it 3600 from the button with QQ(only re-raise pf all day) I don't mind flatting here either. He folds quickly.200-400 w/ 50: Folded to me in the sb I limp with 95cc. Flop comes JJ6 w/ 2 hearts check check. Turn is 2d I lead 600 he calls. River is 5h I check he bets 1k, I fold. I tell him I had a pair, he says "so did I". Possible he had a duece and was bluffing the river, I don't really think he would value bet a 6 in this spot...strange hand I think I could call here. He was floating basically every time I bet in a blind battle so there is a good chance he floated with air and bluffed the river, who knows.200-400 w/ 50: UTG limps, I limp UTG+1 w 33, we take the flop 5 handed. Flop comes J 3 5 w/2 clubs. Check, I bet 1900, only button calls. Turn is 3 bingo quads. I bet 3200 (he has about 11k after he flop call, if he calls turn the river will be a perfect shove bet) He thinks and calls. A little history about this guy he calls off half of his chips with 88 on a Q10xx board on the turn. He cannot fold a hand so Im praying when he calls the turn that he has a J and not a club draw. The river is red King. So Jc35c3K. He only has 8k left and the post is over 12k so I shove. He thinks FOREVER and I just stare at the felt and shuffle my chips clumsily trying to look weak begging for a call. He calls with QJ and leaves quickly. (3rd Showdown)200-400 w/50: Folded to me in the sb I hadnt raised in a while I raise to 1250 w/ 410o(oops) "-BBJ-" (before I knew who this was) smooths in the bb. Flop comes AAJ rainbow I lead 1900 he calls. Turn is blank 8 I think I can take him off a weak jack here because the only hand Ive shown down at this table is the AK hand and Quads, and I fast played my quads hand so I bet 4500 he thinks forever and folds.300-600 w/75: I open to 1800 in mp with AQhh, button calls, bb shoves for 9800 total. This is a sick spot because the bb was v tight, but he had just lost a pot bluffing so I thought there was a good chance he was tilting. I mucked, but its close, just sucked that someone was behind me to act still.300-600 w/75: UTG+1 who had squeezed me a few hands earlier opens for 2k (8500ish behind after his raise) I smooth with JJ otb. Flop comes 678 w/ 2 hearts he leads 3k, I jam on him he says "cant call" as he insta-mucks.400-800 w/100: Co who is generally pretty tight and only hand Ive played with him is the hand he had AA and I folded JJ on the turn. He opens for 2400 I call from the bb w/ 44. Flop comes AQ2 rain I plan to check fold he checks behind. Turn is a K I bet 4k to get him off JJ-55 or maybe a hand like QJ he calls. River pairs the Q, I think about firing but dont think he is folding an ace, I check he bets 4k begging for a call (I think) he folds.400-800 w/100: About 30 minutes left in the day. This is like 2 hands after I lose with 44, I would say Im slightly frustrated I have just under 50k at this point I think and I hadn't been able to open many pots in this level so I have a tight image. Active mp big stack with about 70k opens to 2500 I smooth OTB with QJdd. Flop comes AK8 w/2 clubs he leads 3k (he cont bet every time with any hand oop and would check behind with top pair in position usually). I can raise here to get him off a hand like QQ-1010 or KQ KJ type hand I dont mind a raise here. However I dont wanna play a massive pot with just a gutterball and I can represent the club draw here or an ace by calling so I call. Turn is the 9 of clubs so AcKc89c. He checks I bet 6k he calls quickly. Sigh, now I put him on AQc, AJc,K9 type hand and Im shutting down because he isn't folding with his stack, and a propensity to look ppl up that he has showed. So Im praying to spike a gutterball or Im done with the hand, HOWEVER..... the river is a BEAUTIFUL bluff card the 8c. His AQ AJ no club hands are now worthless and he would lead his nut flush or boat hands and he had a disgusted look on his face when that river hit. The board reads AcKc89c8c. He he is obviously disgusted and checks I bet 10k he think for a little and folds what he says is K9. I table the Q high just for good times since we are basically done for the day and getting broken tomorrow. He was cool about it. Those are all the hands I can remember, there were more, but nothing that big. There were lots of hands were I raised and ppl folded pf, noone was playing back hardly at all pf and my tables were generally v tight. I just played small pots, and I was at the perfect tables. People would just give up on pots on the flop or turn, and it seemed like cont bets were always working. Just a very solid day overall and my chips were never in any sort of jeopardy. I ended up at just shy of 60k (59,800) and with only 3 showdowns and no huge pots I'm very happy with my play. Hopefully tomorrow will be good. Link to post Share on other sites
