  • Recap of my 59th place finish in the Bodog 100k

    Dec 19 2008, 01:51 PM

    So, it’s been a couple days since my last post, but I wanted to do a recap of my play in the 100k, and didn’t really have time to do it properly.

     

    We just got hit with a blizzard here, so I’ve been shoveling. Plus I had a final that I had missed due to the storm and finally made it to campus on Thursday to take it. It took me all of 25 minutes to ace it, well worth the 2-hour drive imo.

     

    In other news, David Huber contacted me and asked me to write a couple articles for the P5’s main page. So, if you have enjoyed reading my blog, watch for one of my articles in the semi-near future. I’ll probably start on one today after I finish this blog. If you have any ideas about what to write about, PM me.

     

    In other, other news, I somehow did not get an invite to the Online Blogger Tournament Last Chance donkament, despite meeting the requirements. Bodog recognized their error and provided me with fair compensation. But, I really wish I could have played. Instead, I bet on Tony Soprano to win the final, which he did! Ship the $50! (I only bet $5 L)

     

    So, here we go, a recap of my 59th place finish in the 100k.

      

    #1 99>JJ For a Small Pot

     

    Not really much to this hand. I have 99 OTB. It folds to me and I raise 3x. SB shoves for 10x, BB folds. I call, SB shows JJ. I flop a 9. ez game

    #2 The Three-Barrel Bluff

     

    This is a move I almost never attempt, mostly because it scares the shit outta me, but also because it is prone to failure.

     

    Blinds are 75/150. I am in the BB and it folds around to the BTN, who limps. The SB checks and I check behind with A4o.

     

    Flop comes 3cKs3d SB checks, I check, and then the BTN bets the minimum. I decide that his line is too weak, so I check/raise to 3x. He calls. Turn is the 2s. I fire the second barrel, 650 into 1350. At this point I am putting him on a weak K. He calls again. River is the Td. I still have him on a weak king since he limped pre and has just called since then. I fire the third barrel, 1910 into 2650. He tanks for bit, and then folds. I breathe a sigh of relief and swear never to 3 barrel again.

    #3 Running AK into KK

     

    I was attempting to do a go-and-go here. The play tends to work a lot better when the villain doesn’t have the second nuts. He raises 3x from MP+1. I RR with AKo from the SB to 6.25x (if he calls the pot will be roughly the same size as his remaining stack, allowing me to shove any flop I miss or check/call for all his chips if I hit.) Instead he has KK, RR’s all in, I call and the Kings hold.

    #4 A2o>KK>99    weeeeeeeeeee

     

    Blinds are 150/300 with 25 antes. The M is 675, I have 2500. I am UTG+2 and the blinds are going up in <1 min. I never fold UTG with 3 M’s, so I decide it’s either this hand or one of the next two.

     

    I have A2o, and decide to go with it. Rather than stuff, I decide to just raise 1/3 of my stack. If I get a caller in position, I can stuff the flop. But my real hope is that one of the larger stacks RR’s me with a hand like KQ. Instead, The BTN and SB both get it AI. I call obv. Folding after raising 1/3 my stack would be lunacy.

     

    They show KK and 99. My A2 obv makes a straight and I triple up. ez game

    #5 Flopping Trips is EZ

     

    Blinds are 200/400 with 50 antes.

     

    I have 99 UTG with 19 BB’s.

     

    I raise to 900, my standard raise at this level, and get one caller from the SB.

     

    The flop is a beautiful T9A.

     

    The SB checks and I bet just under half the pot. My hand is strong here, but I want to bet enough that the draws, of which there are many, will RR AI rather than just call.

     

    The SB RR’s AI as planned, I snap call. He show’s AK, and my trips hold.

    #6 Winning 25%ers is Key.

     

    Blinds are 750/1500 with 150 antes. The M is 3450. I have 6300 UTG+2.

     

    I don’t recall the hand that got me this short, but here I am. With <2 M’s I figure I don’t really have any fold equity, so I am trying to find a hand that can be called. I look down at A9s and decide this probably have to due.

     

    I raise like 90% of my stack to an even number. I find that by doing this rather than shove I often get less callers. The reason is that when someone is multi tabling, They tend to see the even size bet, assume it is a raise, and just fold hands that might actually be calls if they knew I was AI. This works in the opposite way too. While multi-tabling I have many times called a bet like 3452.53 from a player in the HJ when I was in the BB for 1500 with air. I do it because I see the bet size, assume it is an AI and am getting correct odds to call with ATC.

     

    Anyway, the villain in MP calls my AI with AKs and I spike a 9 on the river to double up plus some.

    #7 Chessmaster88 Shows His Skills

     

    Blinds are 750/1500 still.

     

    It folds around to me in the SB, I look down at K7. I am well ahead of the BB’s range, and I decide that if I raise small enough, I can get the BB to come over the top with less.

     

    I raise just over the minimum to 3500. The BB snap shoves and I call. He shows J5o. I pat myself on the back for my amazing ability to get him to make that play. Somewhere around the second pat, a 5 hits the board. There are obv no K’s or 7’s left in the deck, and I say goodbye to most of my stack.

    #8 Busto

     

    After that last hand, I have <2 BB’s. Since I am obv getting called when I go AI, I know I need to have a somewhat playable hand. Here are my options as I make my way around the table:

     

    Call a shove with 53o

    Call an EP raise with A5o (I could have maybe made this call)

    J2o from UTG+2

    J8s from UTG+1 (This might have been ok too)

    T3o UTG

    A4s in the BB (after folding UTG, I have to call here no matter what)

     

    I end up against 55, who raised UTG. 55 holds and I finish in 59th for $300.
