*Cough* It's thursday *Cough*

I was in the wed, and am in the thur /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[jslag]

Fixed... the days all blend together sometimes.. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[beachbum]

I'm in, table 14.

On a side note, some guy who finished in the top 3 in one of these the other night just went out.

He made it T35 and got raised. Just the 2 of them. Flop came Queen high. He ended up calling allin with QJs. /images/graemlins/confused.gif

[LuckyEights8]

Sitting next to you... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Chief911]

I'm in. 1675 on a couple nice hits.

Nick

[Che]

I'm folding my tourney away on table 32 - LuckyBadPlyr.

What's your handle, jslag?

Che

[jslag]

slaggo - Table #38. Lost a few small pots, down to 830 already. Waiting game.

[jslag]

Just doubled through with QJs when I hit my flush on the river. 1700 even.

[beachbum]

Out in 517th when I have AK, flop 2 pair, and some dumb**** calls a bet on every street with JTo and spikes a Queen on the river.

[Tyler Durden]

I'm out in the 500s.

Two limpers for 20 to me on the button, I make it 80 w/ red KK. First limper calls. Heads up.

Flop QQ6 two/images/graemlins/heart.gif. He checks, I bet 150 into a pot of 210, he calls quick. Yikes.

Turn offsuit Ten. He checks. 500 in the pot, I go all in for 515, he calls instantly w/ AT/images/graemlins/diamond.gif and rivers a Ten.

WTF???

Nice job earlier today jslag.

[jslag]

That's too bad, Tyler (and beachbum).

Well done earlier today. I'm sure we'll meet at a final table again. 1st & 2nd next time though.. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I've got 1685 at the first break.

[davidross]

Only 1 significant hand. Flopped a straight on the first hand from the button against an EP raiser who bet out. I gambled that he had an overpair and raised the flop but he folded. Nothing much after that.

[Chief911]

Down to 1530 at the break.

Had an interesting hand where I flopped a set of 4's on a unicolor board (Of which I had none). One bet of 100 and I raise to 300. Get called. Turn is a 4th club. Check Check. River doesnt pair the board. Check check. He has a set of 2's with a club to take down a nice pot. Gah!

Nick

[NLfool]

also out in the 500's 4 limpers blinds are 20 so I make it hefty to knockout the rift raft 140 or 150 preflop with with QQ spade and club flop is KQ5 all hearts he bets the minimum and I put him all in for 1k more. He calls with KJ NO heart draw, turn is a J river is K and my nite is over.

[Che]

I can't even remember the last time I rivered somebody in a meaningful pot and now I've done it twice in a little over an hour!

And with QQ both times! The ladies love me. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

I'm winning this whole thing. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Chief911]

My AQ vs. 250 allin with AJ. 3 Jacks come to give him Quads, and I'm down to 1385.

Nick

[Vagos]

Just doubled up to 2245 with 33. Checked around on a KQ8 flop, turn 3c...rest is history.
-Andy

[LethalRose]

crazy flop and turn there chief..AQAQ..

[jslag]

Just doubled up to 4280, my AKs wins versus QQ.

[Chief911]

I'm out. Yuck.

Nick

[LuckyEights8]

~2200 Chips, getting bounced around different tables... intersting night.

[LuckyEights8]

~4300, won KK vs 1010... Coasting along, no trouble yet.

[beachbum]

Please criticize my play, especially the turn. Didn't think the villain was real bad or real good. Put him on a possible set, or flush on the turn.

On the turn should I have pushed in since 400 was half my stack and I wasn't going to fold to a raise anyway? Or is this amount ok, since he improperly called the 400? Is this where it's better to win this big pot right now with the all-in on the turn? (Sorry, hand converter isn't working for me)

[jslag]

I don't think you really misplayed it, the guy just got very lucky. You already mentioned the only thing I'd suggest, which is if you suspect he's drawing at all, just move all-in on the turn. Of course, you don't really mind most of the time if he calls you with JT. Tough beat.

[jslag]

4492 at the second break. Haven't seen AA-QQ yet, hopefully I wake up with them on the bubble..

Good luck all, only 111 until the money..!

J.

[davidross]

Making the most of nothing. Won some small pots, gave it back with unimproved AK's, tehn doubled up on last hand when I tried to steal with QJ, got called by AJ but hit my Q.

[Ian J]

I'm at about 5k at the 2nd break, a little above avg.

[fnord_too]

gasping for air, 1300 just after the second break.

[jslag]

Noticed that cferejohn is in this and doing well with 6718... he's a poster here, right?

[Che]

Yes, he's ignoring us, but he's sneaking around with a big stack somewhere. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[jslag]

Two limpers, I finally get a decent hand -- 99. I raise to 900, then the button re-raises me to 3200 (has me covered). I fold, and am back down to 4292 after a steal. Grr

[durron597]

I think he called because he had the flush draw, too. He called with 13 outs, and you bet 400 into a 780 pot, so he was getting 1180:400 or correct odds to call, assuming you don't have the Queen of Diamonds. Just push next time /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Ian J]

Just won a nice pot. Up to 10k.... about 70 away from the money now.

[jslag]

Great, now he's been moved directly to my LEFT.

[Chief911]

You played that the only way you could unless you put the guy on a set, but its hard to fold top two pair.

Good luck all that are still in!

Nick

[cferejohn]

Sorry. ya'll. Got most of my stack when I got all in with AA when 2 others had KK and QQ. I play good. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[fnord_too]

my stack goes up, and it goes down again, i aint never gonna keep it up....

Out in 109.

[Ian J]

Well, I played a real big pot w/ AK where I knew the guy had 2 outs... got there, and I looked him up on the river anyway. Then, AK runs into AA and I manage to go from 10k to bust in about 10 minutes.

[cferejohn]

Slaggo had a pretty nice run of cards (including getting all-in w/AA vs. TT) and has worked his way up to ~15K. I'm .4 of a chip away from average. 83 left...

[beachbum]

Durron,

Push even though I had the nut flush draw (K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif) too?

Good luck to ya'll, I'm in the $20 NL
--Casey

[jslag]

Back down around 7700. Tried to steal with 88 and ran into AA (so he says), I laid down on a 7 high flop. Hanging in there... in the $$$ at least.

Cferejohn, Che, and David are all still kickin... good luck boys

J.

[cferejohn]

Out in 59th. Pushed ~7K with 400/800 blinds from the SB with 78o. Got called by big stack with A7. Whoops...

[jslag]

Good game cferejohn. We should get a drink sometime. PM me if you're ever headed into the Mission.

I'm actually surprised he called 6-7k more with only A7o...

[jslag]

I'm out in 37th. I opened up in EP with AQo for 3k. Folded around to the BB who moves all in and has me covered. It's about 10k for me to call, and my instinct said it was a coin-flip/race. I put him on a worse Ace or a pocket pair... I think I made a poor decision, but I wanted to get a bigger stack and actually get a top 10 finish so I called.

He turns over JJ. Flop is xJ9, turn is a K giving me a straight draw, but the river is a counterfeited Q.

Overall, I'm happy as I had two money finishes today in bigger buy-in tournaments.

Che is still alive....

[Tyler Durden]

What is Che's name on Party?

[jslag]

LuckyBadPlyr

[citanul]

My boy boedeker is still in this thing:
redhotballz

he's been the action man at his tables for a while now.

[ethan]

...and playing pretty well from the looks of it. Just picked up a nice pot to get within 2K of chip-leader.

[Che]

He made a big laydown earlier when I had AA after he had just doubled me up when I had AA. I see he has recovered nicely...

BTW is everyone stalling? Eesh.

[boedeker]

im taking this to the house...you know i have to have atleast one mtt win per day.

[Che]

Sorry, boedeker, I called this one hours ago...

[Che]

I bluff a guy all-in after he flops the nut flush.

LOL

Guess I better get serious now if I'm going to win this thing...

[Che]

I guess you can win it. /images/graemlins/mad.gif

[jslag]

There's always next week...

You played a good tournament though Che, well done. $799 ain't too shabby.

[Che]

I guess that bluff kind of killed my table image. I pushed from UTG+1 and next to act minraised to isolate with K6s.

LOL

He hit two pair of course and knocked out my A8. Oh well...

[LethalRose]

so who else from 2+2 is still in it?

[boedeker]

me...redhotballz

[LethalRose]

cool, nice name btw.

how do you talk to support?

"yes this is red hot ballz"

[jslag]

Oh Che, I have a note for that guy that busted you with K6s. I almost considered saying something earlier, but figured it wouldn't matter too much since he's on your left.

Note:

maniac, will bet all-in with draws and gutshots at that... raises preflop too much too

Why does "he" have a female PartyPoker character? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

He/She made the final table and has 129k in chips right now! Nice work redhot.

[boedeker]

gf's account

[LethalRose]

dont those just depend on where you sit?

[citanul]

i thougth so too, but no.
they depend by seat and sex.

[Che]

Seriously, you're right...it didn't matter.

With <3.5BB I'm pushing A8 regardless and I'm happy if K6s calls. Wish he wouldn't hit 2-pair, though. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Anyway, nice playing today. It's about time you moved up from those $33 tourneys. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[ethan]

Wow. pushing ATo. Good thing SJKennedy had KT.

edit...and you're heads-up.

edit...and you won! congrats! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[cferejohn]

If anyone is still awake, boedecker is heads up for the whole bannana. Ouch just lost an all-in pot w/A9 v.s opponents AK. He had a big lead though, so he's not too far behind...

[cferejohn]

...and he wins it! Got his chips back by getting all-in with A6s v. 33 and winning the race. A couple hands later pushed with J7s, got called by A9(?), and his his flush on the turn. If he had lost, he still would have had the lead (other player had about 140K of ~700K).

Congrats to boedecker!

[LethalRose]

well red took it, good game.

whats a horseshoe that cashbrigae was talking about? the term seemed to annoy people..

also chic is 3 handed for 8k in large caps..2nd in chips with 300k

[jslag]

All over... redhotballz takes home $23k!!! Congrats boedecker!

[cferejohn]

[/ QUOTE ]

He is implying that Red has a horseshoe up his/her ass ie. that he is lucky. Sure he got lucky on the final hand, but really the play of the game was his call of the flop raise then the push on the turn. That got him the chip lead and allowed him to absorb the A9 v. AK loss, then come back to win after he won the coinflip.

[LethalRose]

ah ok..i so knew that..

[boedeker]

let it be known i had 56 of hearts that hand i pushed the ace falling on the turn.

Awsome. Your ballz are not only red hot, but solid brass. That was the play that got it for you, I thought. All the other big hands that I saw pretty much played themselves (that is, if your cards had been reversed, you probably would have done the same thing he did and vice versa - ergo no real "skill advantage").

Must feel nice. I still remember being chipleader with 3 to go before flaming out...

[durron597]

Wow, I'm a retard. No, your play was fine, since you want to price in other flush draws /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

well cashbrigade is I. The reason i said the "horseshoe" comment was that redhot said something similar to me last week when i busted him out of a tourney with a bad beat. anyways, i had no idea that redhot was from here. so i apologize and congrats on a well played tourney! your domination of the final table was far from lucky, you displayed awesome skill.

[boedeker]

i knew i recognized that line! by the way, i happen to love that line. no hard feelings, either way.
