  • 3 FT's today

    By lukaluka05 - Sep 21 2008, 02:39 AM

    Stars NL 22 Rebuy - I played well but didn't cash as usual. Had 26 BB's and button shoves with 12BB I call in SB with 77 and lose race. Then I have about 12-14 BBs and shove in SB with AQ and get looked up by a limper with KJo. GG me

    UB NL 33 Rebuy - Made FT but busted 10th again. I'm 7th in chips and face a LP raise I have AQo on button and ship it. Lose a race to 1010, I lost all 3 coin flips in that tourn but won two live card battles so I can't complain (but I just did)

    FTP NL 22 Rebuy - I quit during rebuy period after losing a race one hand, rebuy, next hand JJ and lose that to AA rebuy, double and then face min raise I shove with JJ get called by 99 and 98 sweet down to a one out river and the case 9 comes. I was pissed and just quit.

    FTP PLO - The 216$ buy in I was playing well and made one key error. I had plenty of chips and raised with JJ85 double suit the blinds call and flop is K,8,5. I have bottom two and J hi flush draw I c-bet half pot and SB ships over top I reraise and go with him he has AKQ3 better club draw. He was 59% to win at that point I really shoulda folded. I lost but did an admirable job of climbing back into the tournament only to be the bubble boy.

    FTP PLO 26KO - I was playing great in that and running well when I had QQ32 on flop of Q45ss. A bet and call and I raise PSB, one caller and turn is A still giving me the nuts. Guy makes PSB and I raise he calls with AK35 and rivers an Ace. I win that I am chip leader. I still managed to cash but then lost when my AKJ8doublesuit lost to AA35 on Q,10,8 board. I check raised him all in and he looked me up with no redraws but I should have made PSB on flop, he probably felt he committed too many chips with his PSB and had to go with his naked AA. I thought maybe he would half bet pot and I would shove. Oh well. I could have flatted and shoved the turn as well maybe he would have folded.

    Stars 109 OHL - Finally made FT with commanding chip lead. One key hand I had KK59 in BB and SB makes PSB raise. Flop is 8,8,3 and he makes PSB. I like this flop for my hand and repot hoping he is drawing lo but he has AA32. OMG. Anyway played well and make it HU 2 to 1 chip lead with this guy who had 0 class, kept calling people fish and saying ship it really immature I had his chat muted most of time. Anyway he faded two wrap st8 draws to stay alive and then I just imploded on two hands, the worst being I limped with AA27 suited (which I liked) but a flop of 7,2,4 which took away my nut lo but gave me two pair. I bet it he raised PSB and I called turn was 9 and we were all in he flopped trips with 44 and I couldn't hit A,3,5,6,7,8 to stay in it. Of course he finished classy saying "ship it" blah blah...obviously never played a live game because he would have some manners if he did.

    FTP 75 OHL - Made FT but a 5th place finish. Comcast kept fading out on me and I was having to fold hands at the FT of both these OHL tournaments. Sick timing. I missed AJ24 double suit and a few other hands. Got scooped twice when I could have easily chopped or scooped myself and then put it all in with AQ74 double suit to be looked up by AA3.  Oh well.


    A good day though I really played well in all tournaments except the UB PLO rebuy which I donked again. Maybe I won't play that one tomorrow.

    FTP NL6Max - Two limpers I raise 4x with Ako and I get 3 callers...flop K,8,7 rainbow...checked to me and I half pot it. BB Raise 3x my raise and short stack shoves 2x that. I really should be folding here but I tought I had shortstack beat and that I could push BB off of a hand like 87. Pretty stupid of me. BB had trips and shortie had K10. I really played hand well pre flop and with my half pot c bet on flop. It gave me an opportunity to get away from a strong hand oh so cheaply but I just donked it.

    UB 30Rebuy - 6th in chips at FT. I raise 3x with Ako and get flatted by late position guy and BB shoves. I reraise it and lose a race to JJ. I knew I was racing there and figured with the chips from the other guy/blinds/antes plus my raise that it made sense to race. I was placing for first. Not being results oriented I think it was the right movel Still out first at FT sucks.

    Cake 25Rebuy - doing well in this until this....LP makes min raise I call on button with J9dd flop is rainbow 10,8,4 and the raiser c-bets half pot. I min raise him which will committ half his remaining stack to call, he shoves with A8o and I call. I brick out. I like my play here and read him as weak I think his shove was bad because there was no FE but what do I know. He faded the 14 outs to double up.

    FTP PLOKO - Made FT as short stack but had some outdraws or I woulda been in good shape built the stack up and finished 5th when I PSB on button with 9854 DS and BB shoved with AQ105. The other stacks were 120k-160k and I was sitting on 30K so my play was fine I needed to gamble. 

    FTP PLO 6K guaranteed - I have a good stack, one limper I make PSB with AQJ10 one suit and get flatted by limper. Flop is A,3,5 I c-bet half pot and he comes over top for PSB. Now honestly I should fold here and I thought you know what since I repped AA with PSB pre and c-bet the flop there is no way he is make a move on me. He either has 2,5 or AA. Being a donk I call his raise to make top two pair and call the rest off to see he had AA. I really gotta find the fold button because I had a good size stack and blew it there. Hopefully writing this out will make me remember this the next time this type of situation comes up.


    I need to do these blogs at the end of my session because I forget a lot of things by waiting. I can't remember what happend in OHL but I had no cashes in 7 or so tourns with one bubble. 

    Gl to me tomorrow...tonight..st8 from netflix is Blood Diamond!

  • Oops?

    By lukaluka05 - Sep 17 2008, 10:03 PM

     NL6Max - Mid tourn a tight player raises on button I shove in BB with 44 and he has JJ. Against certain players I think this is okay but this guy was playing tight, a bad idea.

    PLO - Played OK in the FTP tourn was outdrawn in two big hands preflop AA vs KK twice. Then a shorty makes PSB in EP and this fish flats it I PSB with KQJ10 double suit and of course fish puts it all in with AQ59 3 hearts. I don't know if I'm being results oriented or not. I'm not sure if I should have just flatted or iso'd like that.

    PLO - UB tourn I fished it up pretty bad....can't remember anything in particular.

    PLO Ring games I did well and made some cash, I tilted one hand for 3 Buy ins after getting sucked out on another table right before. The games at CAKE were juicy.

    OHL - FT'd but came in 7th after AK34 and A269 suit both got scooped heads up AIPF

    NL Rebuy standard I think I got short and shoved QJ on button to be looked up by 1010 in BB.


    Funny hand of the day in UB NLR Sattie after rebuy is over. I raise UTG with AQo and get flatted and reraised by BB. I really don't respect this guys game and shove on him and surprisingly get called by both players holding monsters like 27hh and 33. I flopped Ace but 27 made the flush on turn. Oh well.

    Last two days were short days because I had stuff to do but tomorrow is regular day. GL2Me

  • Moving my blog

    By lukaluka05 - Sep 17 2008, 12:29 PM

    I started a poker blog a few weeks ago for the purpose of self evaluation. I figure I'll move it here because my some poker players will read it and give constructive feedback at times. I usually try and evaluate how I played for the day in each blog.


    Yesterday:

    I probably broke even. I can clearly remember two mistakes from yesterday:

    One was a NLHE hand where we were already ITM and there were 3 limpers and I shoved with AK. I got called by a JJ to act after me. I shoved 24 BBs or so when I should have maybe just put a 4x raise in. If JJ raises I'm probably going with but if he flats and others day I can get away from the hand with 20 BBs left or maybe less if it flops heads up as I would put in a C-bet and then fold.

    Second was PLO and I held K,Q,10,9 and the flop was Q,9,4 rainbow. We are five handed to the flop and 2nd to act makes PSB. I put him on top two and reraised PSB hoping I was freerolling more outs than him but he shoved with trip 9s. In retrospect I could have just flatted or even folded this hand, such a strong bet in early position by a guy who hasn't been active at all I should have just let it go as I had plenty of chips. Made it to 3rd in this tourn and lost a race for 2nd.

    Today:

    Find the fold button more often in PLO. Bet out your draws and definitely more preflop raises. GL2um8!!
