2 Final Tables and OHL Ring Tilt

By lukaluka05 - Nov 23 2008, 10:30 PM

 The semi-good news first....

Cake 11$ Rebuy - Made FT (good) busted 9th (bad) open shoved AA with 12 bbs and got called by 99 and lost almost 200k pot.

FTP $OHL Rebuy - Made FT (good) busted 6th (bad). A couple key hands, I'm in BB with Q34xx and flop comes 245ss and limper makes PSB. Now I've seen this guy limp 9823 and all kinds of junk. PSB kind of tells me he doesn't have st8, I have him covered and decide to put pressure on him and raise. He shoves and tables A457ss which is bad as he is 67% to scoop and does. I put him on 45ish hand, I didn't think he had A though.

Anyway, I chip up at FT from 40k to 95k and then EP makes PSB and I hold AAQ3cc and make PSB, he shoves and hits quads with AJ24 and instead of nearly 200k I'm short again. My bust hand was questionable to play, I had QJ108double suit which would be auto shove in Omaha but this is H/L. Anyway, I am shorty at table and guy who has been min raising does it again and I call to see flop in position. Blinds fold so a nice price for me, flop is Q,5,4 and he bets small and I shove what I got let. He table AK35 and turns gin with 2d, I have FD but miss and that's it. I could have waited around, easy in hindsight to say that, and I could have I just hate blinding out. Rather go out fighting.

PS OHL Rebuy - Lots of chips and then I'm in BB with 9946 and flop is A,8,9 rainbow, and I decide to check shove this to a bet. It's aggresive but you figure what is calling? If QJ109 type hand or 10987 type hands call I'll have the lo. If a 2345 calls I'll have the hi. Anyway I check shove and guy calls with J1052, no redraws to flushes. Anyway hits a 7 and no 5,2 or board pair for me and I'm scooped. Then later I have KQ9xcc in BB and flop is J10xcc giving me wrap st8 draw and 2nd NFD I make PSB and get two callers, one had naked NFD and hit it. Game over.

I started mixing in some 1/2 OHL Fix limit while I play tourns and I really went ballistic. The pasty 3 days I've done it on FTP and made 450$ avg 5.5bb/100 at both 6max and full ring. Well I had some outdraws early to start and just went crazy and eroded my profit down to 95$ and .77bb/100 or something. Sick, just throwing away money like that. I wasn't in a good state of mind and my girfriend was calling me out on it. I still do this from time to time and it's costing me in the long run lots of money (for me at least). Throwing away 250$ at OHL Ring is not cool.  


Oh, an interesting hand from the UB PLO Rebuy (bust hand)

In the BB (notice all these killer hands I'm in the blinds usually, cards I wouldn't call with but would be silly to autofold in the BB to no raise). I hold 34xxss (I forgot others and flop is Q,3,2ss. Not a good flop but UTG min bets and one caller so I call as well and turn is 5 giving me up/down st8, flush draw and a pair, min bet again one guy calls and I call, river is a 6, this gives me a sucker st8.  So 78 and 47 beat me. Same UTG guy min bets and button makes PSB. So If I'm the button and I hold 78/47 why would I make PSB? I want to get value out of my hand and one guy has check called two min bets and the other guy made two min bets, so noone is showing any strength. He is in positon on the button making a good bluff spot to this weak betting in front of him. So do I put this guy on 47/78? Would he call with that on flop? Certainly a 4567 would call that flop. Anyway, I shove from SB because I think it's a bluff (maybe chop) and suprisingly the min raise guy calls, then button shoves again and min raise guy calls with trip Q's. Crazy. Anyway, button had A78ss and rivered nutz. I still like my play, often I find a bluff in that spot. I do regret not making a note on the guy so I know for future he will do that. I don't think that is profitable in the long term. hard to get value out of PSB there, who is gonna call? (donks with trip Q's and sucker st8s this time) HA!! Ok, no more poker today. GL all.
