Playing a little better...

By lukaluka05 - Oct 21 2008, 08:11 PM

 So I got the donking out of my system mostly. Here's a report.

Cake 27 Rebuy - Interesting hand, 1 or 2 limpers in front of me and I limp with Q10dd, maybe 1 or 2 limpers after and then button raises 3.5x. Now with all these limpers that is a really weak raise and I think the guy this full of it. Anway, this complete fish calls before me and then I shove my Q10dd having button covered 2 to 1 and all the limps plus the raise/call antes there are just too many chips and I want to iso this guy. Well he thinks a bit and shoves and surprisingly the fish tanks and calls 25bb raise with A4o OMG!!, the button showed 87dd and I won that pot. That was it for my luck though. I then lose QQ to K10 AIPF, KK to K10, A8 to Q8 AIPF, and 55 to A2 AIPF to min cash.

Stars 22 Rebuy - Doubled during rebuy with AA, added on. Then I limp 88 UTG and a guy with 12 BBs makes 5x raise with 3 limpers out there. I shove to iso the guy and he has QQ. That takes me down but not out, I raise with AK and SB calls and we showdown I lose to 44. Then I face a raise and shove my 15bb with 1010 and lose to AK.

UB 33 Rebuy - Going ok and then UTG limp, limp, limp, I raise with AQ to 4x and SB shoves. I have him covered after others fold and am getting 2 to 1 to call. So I make the pot odds call to see AA. Oh well, then my 55 loses AIPF to two overs.

FTP 22 Rebuy - Here is where multitabling and not paying attention can cost you. In rebuy period I have doublestack and an aggresive guy to my right raising 24% of his hands. So I'm playing other tables and see this guy overaise in SB about 6x and I look at AQo and vs. this guy it's an autoshove. So I shove and OOPS!! I see a guy who limped UTG and his stats are 0% Preflop raise and 7% VPIP. Now I insta regret my shove and this guy takes a while but calls with KK. I decide I have too many tables open and don't rebuy.

FTP 129KO - About 5k in chips at 50/100 level and I raise with AKo 3x in LP and SB is all in with 49 chips or so. This is a bounty tourn so it may change things slightly. Someone may want to playback to get the 20$ bounty off that guy. So keeping that in mind chipleader makes it 800, so 500 back to me to call. I decide to shove on the guy and he calls with 1010. It was an aggresive play and I don't know if I'm being results oriented or not. Maybe I'll post this hand on 2+2.

UB 11 PLO Rebuy - At the FT again, and in SB I have AQQ10cc and complete. BB makes PSB and I call to see K,J,8 flop and I shove with QQ and st8 draw. He calls with KK and no st8 for me, 5 place finish. The thing is with this tournament once you get to final table it is 10bb average stack and there is no room for play. I mean I can't check call to see if my st8 draw will hit, we both only have a PSB left.

FTP 26KO PLO - Strangely I make it to money without 1 KO to my name. I have a decent stack and guy makes PSB UTG and I call with AQ108hh and flop is Q,10,7dd and he puts the rest of his chips in which is half PSB. I lose to KJ1010. Then with 12 or so left I have 10 bbs and decide to make PSB with 10986hh, I'm hoping to pick up blinds and play is so tight at this point (near FT bubble) that I'm only going to get shoved most likely by AA. Well I get reraised and call pot comitted to see AKK2ss, so this is really what I want to get HU with. I'm 42% but can't make it happen.

FTP PLO 33 Rebuy - Disappointing cash bubble. Bust hand a maniac limps UTG and I look at KQQ5 double suit. I wanted to raise this pre but I found it really weird that maniac who is raising 24% limps UTG. So I call and 4 way to flop of 6,7,10hhd giving me flush draw and back door flush draw. BB makes PSB. At this point near bubble he is only doing this with nutz 89. I'm getting 2 to 1 on my FD and call. Turn is Q giving me trips and flush draw and he makes PSB. Now since I'm playing for 1st I have to go with this hand and hope board pairs or makes H on river. I'm 43% to win and calling 9k to win 18k so I have to do it. Wasn't meant to be. From this hand and the last PLO hand it may look like I'm racing too much but honestly these are the only races I had in the tourns for my chip stack. Sometimes you have to take them and they just didn't work in these cases.

PS 109 OHL - I was playing well and just losing, down to about 16bbs and limped with A246 double suit. Multiple limpers and button makes min raise which is almost always A2. Then min raise gets called around and I decided that this is as good spot to gamble with extra chips out there so I make PSB to iso. Folds to min raises who thinks and shoves with A2310 and his 10 kicker plays to scoop.

FTP 44 OHL - Made FT again, 5 handed Hijack makes PSB and I call with A246 and flop is A,8,10 and he bets 2/3 pot. I stick it all in with top pair and lo draw and he calls with AJJ3. 23 outs total for either chop and some with a scoop but none hit.

I did go 1 for 2 in FTOPS OHL Satties and got another seat so I'm happy about that. Made a little but of money playing PLO and OHL SnG's on FTP. Good luck all. No poker today for me!
