• 1st in UB PLO Rebuy

  By lukaluka05 - Dec 15 2008, 12:11 AM

  Headling the only real positive of the day. I had some big hands after rebuy period and had a hand cracked at FT but also had a draw hit 5 handed to stay in tourn. I'll take it. FTP PLO Rebuy - Busted 22nd for a min cash. I raise one pot AKJ5cc, BB calls, and flop J,5,8ss and I check down to lose to his 5678 for flopped two pair. An orbit later I raise AKJ5suit again (PSB Pre) and same guy calls in blind flop is 8,8,2 and I stick the rest in (almost a PSB), he calls with KQ98 for flopped trips. Nothing to do. Disappointing. UB NL Rebuy - After break I hold AKhh and see flop from BB Q,J,10ccc flopping me broadway. I check and button min bets, I raise, he calls, turn is no c 8, I check and he bets again. I make PSB raise. He shoves, sucks but I have to call 12k pot and 1.4k behind me, he tables A2cc for flopped flush. FTP NL KO - EP raise to 100, I reraise to 270 with KK, gets flatted by a LP and EP raiser. Flop is 4,4,2dd and EP over shoves pot, easy call for me. Gets called behind by guy with AQdd and he turns A. GG PS NL 55$ - I lose race BvsB KJ vs 99. My OHL's didn't go well today. I had hands outdrawn and I busted in all 4. I lost a race in the FTP 75$ PLO 6 Max and thats that. Well, I'll play tomorrow and off Tuesdasy. I'm feeling better everyday, less congestion.

• I grinded and it did not pay off.

  Well, I kicked the volume up and played 19 tournaments. 2 small cashes. Made FT on UB PLO Rebuy and busted 5th. Again another deep run in PS NOHL Rebuy but outdrawn to bust 13th. Okay, let me indulge you in some brutal beatz....... FTP NL Rebuy - After break, I raise KK UTG and one caller to rainbow flop of Q,9,3 and I make standard 2/3 c-bet and he calls. Turn is Q, okay I check and he checks. River is Q for board of Q,9,3,Q,Q and I overshove pot hoping he makes hero call with ppair,9 or AK and he tables Q10. Ok. UB OHL 162$ - A higher buy in, BvsB I get PSB and I reship with AK105dd and he calls with AK49 and board goes 10,5,4,8 am I gonna scoop or quarter him? Nah, 9 falls on river. FTP 75$ OHL - I limp UTG with AA38cc and limps around to a gay min raise from SB, back to me I makes PSB. Minraiser calls and flop is K,4,4 and I make half pot bet. Turn is 3 and he checks I make PSB (putting me all in) and he calls with AK2, rivers 5 to scoop. Nice runner runner what can you do. Well, I'll leave it at that, who cares about the rest, they look similar to the above stories, I'll be back tomorrow though!!   No Comments on this post. Click here to post a comment.




• Brutal Beatz...

  By lukaluka05 - Dec 12 2008, 10:07 PM

  I was feeling a little better today and played some tourns. Cake NL 55$ - 3k to start, early in tourn I raise 3x with QQ and get flatted by LP, flop is K,10,2 I bet 2/3 he calls, turn is 8, still rainbow, I 2/3 he calls. River is 10. I check and he makes 2/3 PSB. I played the hand like I had AK, so I don't think he can call me with a 10 on flop (unless 1010,K10) I think he has busted QJ and I call to see JJ to take a nice pot. 5.5k now, minding my own biz in the BB with 45o no raise and flop gin 2,3,6hh and SB bets it. I raise it hard and the only guy who has me covered insta shoves. SB folds and I insta call of course with nutz and he tables A10hh, I have one heart myself. Turn brick, rivers flush. Now he is chip leader in tourn with 11k and I'm bust, instead of vice versa. Brutal. PS NOHL Rebuy - Another great run but I bust in 13th when I shove 16k with AK26cc and get called by A3510. He scoops. Brutal. UB NL Rebuy - I raise during rebuy with Q10ss and BB calls to flop of 10,6,2 all diamonds. He over bets pot, it just doesn't make sense and I shove. He insta calls with 79 one diamond. Strange, he turns diamond and I decide not to rebuy. Nothing else to note, I can't remember my other tourn hands because I was playing a lot of PLO ring and I lost a little doing that. Disappointing. At least I'm feeling better.

• Still sick....

  By lukaluka05 - Dec 12 2008, 12:25 AM

  Still have the cold/flu thing. I was playing and not feeling well so I decided to just play out what I had running and not rebuy if I busted. PS NOHL Rebuy - I've been running/playing well in this tourn and that continued today. At least the playing well part. I got scooped AIPF in first tourn with my AAQ7dd vs A972, duded raised UTG and I shoved. Really bad call by him IMO, flop was hi,hi,2 ...nice then he turned st8 draw and rivered it. PS NOHL Rebuy - This is the later tourn. I have 120k in chips 14 left and 2nd is 60k so I'm in great shape. I proceed to get scooped 4 puts in a row (sick) and bust on FT bubble. I played some PLO 6 Max ring on FTP and it went well. 19.55/100bb for 700 hands. I'll take it. I need to feel better!!! Gl all. No Comments on this post. Click here to post a comment.
