Thank you! + my first $25 HH

[partygirluk]

In the past 6 weeks I have gone from $50 deposit to $1100. These forums have been very helpful so kudos to those who helped. Special thanks to Adanthar who has replied to many of my posts and offers the most consistently sound advice on these forums.

So I played the $6s for a long time, and have kind of bypassed the $15s for the $25s. This is because I have won 3 $215 satellite tourneys recently, converted them into T$ and have thus bumped up my bankroll nicely. If only I would not have bubbled in the $530 qualifier...... Anyway, I might stick with the $15s for a bit, just to make things more gradual, but here is the HH of my first $25 turbo.

Hand one: Q4o on the button. 2 limpers and I fold.
Hand two: K2o. Minraised to me and I fold.
Hand 3 : A4o. 1 limper I fold.
Hnad 4 : 98o. I fold.
Hand 5 : A2o. 1 limper I fold.
Hand 6 : T8o. I fold.
Hand 7 : 84o. I fold.
Hand 8 : 83o in the BB. Raised and I fold. Ivhadit pushes all in on the turn with TPTK and gets called by flush draw which hits on river.
Hand 9 : Ako in SB. Blinds are now 15/30. I have 1470. Ivhadit (545) opens UTG for 90. Folded to me. I make it 300 more. He calls, leaving himself 155. Flop is T82 two tone. I check, he pushes, I call. His A9 does not improve and I am @ 2045, 2nd.
Hand 10: J4o fold.
Hand 11: Ajo in CO. 25/50 blinds. Open raise to 150 and win the blinds.
Hand 12: K3o fold.
Hand 13: UTG+1 limps. I limp next up with Ajo. 1 more limper. 4 handed the flop and turn are checked around. River brings board of 5s 6s 5h 9h 3s. Pot is 200. BB check, UTG bets 50, all fold.
Hand 14: 86o. Fold.
Hand 15: K9o UTG. Fold.
Hand 16: 84o. Post BB of 100. Raise from early to 300. I fold.
Hand 17: T3o. Raise and pushed to me, I fold.
Hand 18: Q5o. Minraised to me and I fold.
Hand 19: AKs. 4 folds to me. I make it 300. All fold.
Hand 20: 73o. UTG limps. I fold.
Hand 21: T5o. UTG limps. I fold.
Hand 22: J2s. UTG makes it 300. I fold.
Hand 23: 76s. UTG I fold. Huge pot as 99 loses to AK.
Hnad 24: My BB of 150. UTG+1 goes all in for last 30. All fold and I win.
Hand 25: Button (1530) limps. I fold my SB.
Hand 26: A8o. UTG makes it 600. I fold.
Hand 27: 72o in CO. 3 folds to me, I fold.
Hand 28: 85o. 2 folds to me, and it is folded round.
Hand 29: T9o. UTG limps, I fold.
Hand 30: AJo UTG. I (2100) Open for 600 (7 handed, BB is 200). Everyone folds.
Hand 31: K2o in BB. UTG pushes for 1055. All fold.
Hand 32: 95o. Raised and reraised to me, I pass Ako v Ako.
Hand 33: AQo on the button. CO (1305) limps for 200. I raise to 100, he pushes, I call. His 44 holds up. /images/graemlins/mad.gif
Hand 34: 82s Down to 795. SB is 665, BB 1810. Folded to me in the CO and I fold.
Hand 35: 65o. We are now down to 6. UTG limps, I fold. I decide that next hand as I am UTG I am going to push on any 2 whilst I still have fold equity.
Hand 36: SB has 2360, BB 3210. I (795) push with 83s. Button (3055) calls with A3o. I lose.

I thought the last call by button of A3 is pretty interesting. Other than that, looks pretty normal. There is definitely a lot of luck involved here. Usually you lost a coin flip and you are out.

What's your account name? Maybe we played several times before at 15 or 25 table. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Pretty good tourney with a few comments:
-In Hand 13, consider calling the river.
-Hand 33: You're pot committed so just push. Sometimes they don't quite get it.
-Hand 36: The most important one and the reason I'm posting: You can *sometimes* get away with this at higher limits, but not at the 20's; there's no point going in when the chances of a call are this high. Even if you have to fold the BB, you'll have 600 chips left - one flip and you're back in it. Just fold.
