[CardSharpCook]

On Belmopan

[billyjex]

12,300 at first break. total maniac at the table, he has probably open raised 50% of hands, very aggressive postflop. making things difficult.

[KSakuraba]

9730 at first break...cold cards and bad play...hope to make it better in the next hour.

[CardSharpCook]

10570. Slow and steady wins the race.

[Rizen]

12,666 atm.

-Rizen

[KSakuraba]

15543 on second break, tight table, not a lot of action...

[billyjex]

[Lloyd]

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Big stack raises UTG. I call in LP with QQ. Flop is QJ9. He bets 1/2 the pot. I raise. He pushes. I call. He has AA and hits a river set.

[La Brujita]

thats brutal.

[z32fanatic]

Still in with 10k at table Solingen.

[billyjex]

[KSakuraba]

18,293 on 3rd break

[sirio11]

35445 3rd break

nice call down with AJ cardsharp. nice stack as well. This is gonna take forever for me to watch. ah well, nothin to do but sit around on xmas break.


edit: and csharp takes down around a 30k hand with a full house. I picked the right person to stalk. I think hes in second.

[Rizen]

Sitting at around 19k now, wasn't paying a whole lot of attention while I was at the FT of the 300+20.

-Rizen

[pipes]

Some type of high limit deep stack? tks

[CardSharpCook]

I haven't had a fan in a NL tourney in a WHILE. I would be pleased with 70th. It's been that long since I've cashed in an NL tourney. Had a dissappointing KK hand when this guy I've been trying to catch all tourney turns up AA. Was a 13K blow /images/graemlins/frown.gif Other than that, I've been getting monster hands and rarely getting paid off. AA,KK, and AK have been good for picking up limped pots. First big hand was stacking someone when I turn the nut flush, and he rivers the 2nd nut.

Anyway, 61K and 3rd place. I'm excited /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Rizen]

12k, I'm not exactly deep stacked anymore /images/graemlins/smile.gif

-Rizen

You're excited? Im sitting here in the living room watching some random dude own a tourney for 1k buyin while I pwn a 5.50 450 person tourney. Someone sweat me, I'm at table tanga, 2nd in chips with 24 left. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

edited to say tough last few hands, csharp. that JJ vs. AK, K9 vs some donkey all in, etc.


oh, wait a minute. whose that in the lead? is it cardsharp! Yes1!)!)!I!@!( ahaahaha

[TheTimeIsUp]

I'm at 50k.

[CardSharpCook]

NEW CHIP LEADER!!!! /images/graemlins/grin.gif/images/graemlins/grin.gif/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[pipes]

Please give me details of this tourney...never heard of it. Tks

[ahnuld]

1k buyin, 500k guaranteed, 10k starting stacks and 30 min levels. I busted in 3rd level, QQ vs KK and monotone flop.

[CardSharpCook]

127K and 1st place! Woot! Woot! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jdd12]

Take it home Egocidal, congrats.

yea, that helps out the 1/2 BR a bit. thanks. my first MTT win. I'd like to thank the academy....

edit: im sorry for the hijack. lets focus on cardsharp now. bring one back to 2+2 cardsharp. 150k with your name on it.

[pipes]

tks, sounds cool...will have to check it out

rough. csharp makes a good call w/ K10, hits trips on the flop against KJ, and gets gutshot rivered by the straight. I have a xmas party to go to, but I'm still rootin for ya. (and all 2+2ers still in)

[CardSharpCook]

thanks, ego. This hour has been brutal. Lost 5 coiners vs. shorties, and then that hand. Also paid off a big stack with JJ vs AK on a KT9T3 board. Have turned 150K into 70K. /images/graemlins/frown.gif

What did you have when Finnicks pushed all in? That was kind of a weird push too.

Sweatin' ya now too, CSC. Do NOT like the interface on Full Contact Poker, however. Very busy.

[CardSharpCook]

I had 99. The board was QT3A. Thought the A gave me enough eq to fire another round. Fiinicks isn't a good player. The push didn't make sense, but I'm realatively certain he had me beat.

I didn't think he was making good decisions, I think he is weak enough to have called w/ Ax or Qx. I was supposed to leave for the party 15 minutes ago, but I've made enough excuses to keep watching. People keep pushing all in on Csharps raises. Ex: Csharp raises the 2/4k blinds to 5k in late MP, donk raises to 41k. Everyone folds. Who wants to pick up11k by risking 41k? I know it sounds noobish, but I thought at a 1k buyin people would be abit more careful on the bubble. (20 until the money)

[CardSharpCook]

He is also the one stalling every chance he gets. No doubt it was a huge pair and he didn't want to risk getting stacked when I trip on him /images/graemlins/grin.gif Not a fun time right now. Almost ready to button up and wait for monsters, but I'll let myself get snapped off one more time.

[worm33]

nice river..lol

What happened? All ofa sudden he has 98k. good hand? double up through a donk?

[CardSharpCook]

yeah, that 4card str8/3flush didn't look to pretty. He either had the str8, the flush, or nothing. 2pair shuts up on that river. the Bluff to hand ratio was in my favor /images/graemlins/grin.gif

and c sharp makes the money!!!! (im a little druink, forgive, forgive me.)

[CardSharpCook]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! first NL money in well over a month. Maybe 2 or 3. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

(though I don't play THAT many)

Thanks for the sweat,ego!

no prob. i know you cant REQUEST a sweat if your not at the FT, but that doesn't mean I can't do it anyways. btw, shorty 25 appears to be sucking donkey balls (sorry if your reading this shorty)

edit: whats this? Csharps KK vs. a shorty's all in AA and the chip leaders AK? Is that a board wiht no Ace on it? Yes it is! Double up for csharp biatches!

[reo]

What a beauty it was . . .

Race and a rush. Ghea.

[Jurollo]

Gl Brendan! I hope to see you still in this when I get back from the bars.
~Justin

What are the names of everyone who is still in?

edit: im seriously guys, i suck at calling down winners. But actually, sharp got Bad B eated down by soime dbag yuppie. well, 2k isn't bad for your time.

yea when i say bad beated i dont really mean that. but some guy called you a [censored] after you left so im kinda angry.

[Exitonly]

bah. sorry CSC. good effort.


did you have a specific read on that guy w/ the bustout hand?

[reo]

gg bro.

[CardSharpCook]

Blah.

33, 567 board. OOP. 52K in pot. I bet 40K, he raises to 95K. Thinking I was probably good, had FE over 99-JJ, and 6 outs in some cases, I push for 225K. He calls with 88. I dunno know.

[CardSharpCook]

naw, no read. Just thought about his range of hands that would make sense for that play. 55-77 would wait until turn. 99-JJ might do that, but might also fold to a push. Also, he wasn't desperate so he could have been bluffing, hoping that I had overcards. Basically, I had his range as 88-JJ, overcards, and I had FE vs. overcards and 99-JJ. No?

[Exitonly]

FE vs overcards for sure, but i dont think you can completely counnt out 55-77. Oh, and also, 88.

i think it looked like you were forcing things. maybe not though.

edit: think i should probably get a little more specific than what i did.

pot was: 20k + 20k + 4k + 8k + antes (i'll guess they were around 4k) + 40k + 98k = 194k

you're pushing your remaining 220k (is that right?) to win 194k.

I'll finish the math in next post

[ZBTHorton]

I was watching the whole time, and thought you flopped a set honestly.

I blame myself for that CSC...as soon as he raised you I literally said out loud "You can push that..your good".

Sorry man. gg

[westside_eh]

First ever cash in a MTT after winning a sat. 67th for $1900. Pretty happy /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[worm33]

I honestly don't really think you needed to make such a play you were about 50% above average i think?? In weak field tournaments such as this one with a big stack, I like to show strength in pots where no strength has been shown. I wouldnt risk my whole tournament hoping a guy is smart enough to fold an overpair.

it was the correctg play if he put him on the overs, but I also don't think i could do that with someone covering me in chips. gutsy.

If anyone cares its a helluva heads up match.
Both joe sod and finnicks have around 3 mil in chips. Finnicks got disconnected (pokerroom kcicks ass) and they are goin nuts trying to make a deal. I mean it was unreal. who gets disc. at the FT where there is a 60k ish diff. between first and second? THis is a good question for the pschycology section. The chatroom was goin nuts cause joesod obviously raised everytime it was his SB, so Finnicks would be check folded. He offered when finnicks go baclk to transfer whatever the amount was back, but finnicks said he couldn't trust him. where the hell are the mods for this case?

also, the game just started back up and sod said he would fold a few hands, thjat it was "sportsmanship". unreal.

god that was so [censored] cheap, picked up over 1mill chips during that whole disconnect thing and then appologizes, granted i wouldnt done the same thing, but y appologize like hes really sorry?

nvm disregard last post, he folded back to him about 500k cuz he felt bad... some1 wants a good online profile

im makin a poll for the psych forum and here. and sod gave back some of that money.

[CardSharpCook]

My initial read of fiinicks was that he was a bit of a fish. He seemed to be a push bot. I could count on him to overbet any hand I played with him. Also, he pushed A8o with about 10BBs from the SB vs a CO raise when he had basically no fold equity. He also pushed a much larger stack with K2s in the SB vs a MP raise. This time he did have FE, but.... I don't know. Not the worst plays, I guess. He has balls.

[UVaHoo]

I didn't like that either...he lost well over 1 million chips. Seems like you could either stall or just fold every other hand to keep it even until he got back.
