OK, here I am. You had to wait for the report on today’s SNG because of two things. One was a Spurs NBA game tonight that took me away for a while, the other was that part two of today’s report took a little time to edit. I hope you like it.

Part 1 is the standard game report.
Congrats to ByronKincaid on winning!

It's nice to win against such respected posters. Last night I thought I was lucky to come back from having the shortest stack at the final table, but this morning looking at it logically well it's obvious init? I normally play 20+2, the game was 10+1 so of course I'm gonna win /images/graemlins/cool.gif.

Seriously though it shows how an all in short stack strategy can work against better players. Must be something I read somewhere /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

I thought that you played very good poker, and I should know, cause I had position on you and I wasn't making life easy for you. Congrats on a good win.

Was the heads up guy 2+2? He never said a word throughout the entire event. It's a good thing you beat him. When you got him all in with 20000-5000 I was so dissapointed with that beat. When he came back after that I was worried for you. Constant pressure though and he had no hope.

Again, Good win.

Thanks Brad, it was nice to have your support when it went heads up. I don't know if he was 2+2 but it was nice that he kept on folding. I didn't think I had a chance of even placing in the money when I got to the final table with the shortest stack so I just went all in with every half decent hand. I was surprised just how often everyone folded, apart from you of course /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I played a 20+2 the night before which got down to 4 players and the largest stack just started going all in at least three quarters of the time. I was second place at the time and should have stayed out of his way but no I stupidly go in against him with something like AQ and end up fourth. Dumb but it was incredibly hard to play against, everyone kept on folding and his stack was going up and up, so I guess I just tilted and went in when I should'nt have. But I think I learnt some thing from this game. It would be nice to be able to say that I outplayed you all after the flop..... but hey you gotta get the money somehow.

Roll on next Tuesday

PokerStars is really bad tonight. If it stays this way we are heading towards the longest SNG in 2+2 history.
And to compensate that, they have altered the 78% rule to the 99% rule /images/graemlins/grin.gif

The last hand was my A9o vs. Vinny's KK. Flop was 9xx. It was a little creepy when Cris said "here comes the A" and sure enough, there it was on the turn.

I'll try to browse some hand histories and post a few tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who played, it was a good time!

It was definitely a night for the underdog hands.

I was able to make it the final 3 by executing the suckout of the night when it was folded around to jwp in the SB who pushed all in. I called with A9 of spades and was not happy to see him flip up american airlines.

However, an all spade flop lifted my spirits. No help came on the turn and river and I had made William look brilliant.

I then lost my chips when it was down to 3 with three pocket pairs in a row. JJ lost to AK. 88 I was the button and it was folded to me. QQ lost to AQ. I think it was a bit of poetic justice.

Wad did a great job tonight of changing gears when shortstacked as compared to becoming the chip leader, he definitely deserved the win. (And he had an uncanny ability to fold to my BB when I had big hands late, pattern mapping technology anyone??)

Hi All,

Great game. It was fun, although the final five or six was really a crapshoot, and any of us could've won it. Wad did an excellent job of catching Aces when he held Aces, and he showed excellent hand selection. (Or maybe he was reading the pattern map?) I went out on TT to his A3 when he hit a set (of 3s) on the flop. Oh well. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

As for noteworthy hands....

I limped with 88 early, and flopped quads. I checked it until Aces fell at the turn and river, and LaBrujita had an Ace. A few hands later I almost limped in with KTo, but I decided to let it go. I'd have flopped a Broadway straight and probably have taken out two players on that hand.

Late in the game, I raised from UTG with 55, and Vinny went all-in with a reraise. Someone else called (I don't recall who it was), and I mucked the 55. It'd have hit for a set, but Vinny had QQ and the other player had ATs.

A few hands later I had 55 again, limped in, and Wad just checked in the BB. The flop was 4-2-2. He checked, I bet, and he laid it down. I would be stunned if my 55 was good on that hand, but everyone read me for a monster. The chat on that hand was hysterical, actually, with everyone saying they were stunned that I limped into a pot. But I didn't want to get blown off another raise with an all-in reraise when all I had was a baby pair. *shrugs*

I thought everyone at my tables played well. LaBrujita had no way to guess that I had 88 and quads. I saw a lot of AQ vs. AK, and I think that's a matchup that is very difficult to avoid if you have the AQ, especially if you're running a short stack. Ken benefited from two of those.

JJ was the "death hand" tonight; it went 0-for-3 at the final table vs. AK. And as already noted, the boards at the final table were brutal. AA lost to A9s, QQ lost to AQ, TT lost to A3, etc., etc. But that's going to happen when the blinds get as big as they did; players are forced to go all-in with anything they play, and that's when the weirdness so often happens. *shrugs*

Great game, everyone.

Congratulations, Wad! /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Nice job to all. Just to critique my play a bit, I had no idea Cris flopped quads but my push all in was a so-so play at best against a good opponent. The turn and river brought me the second nuts (aces full) and I made a value bet of 180, Cris raised it to about 450. When an ace came on the turn and Cris flat called I actually thought she had an 8 and was wary. By reraising all in against a good opponent, she will only call when she chops (with an ace) or has you beat with quads. It was crystal clear that I had aces full so my raise all in was so so at best and terrible at worst. Against an opponent who would call with 8's full I think the play is fine.

I thought she had an 8 but didn't realize that would mean her two most likely hands from ep would be 8-8 or A-8s. She could have also limped with a connecter. Since 3 A's were gone I guess 8-8 and A-8 were equally likely.

Again, congrats to all.

I have never been in one of these 2 table tournies where I got so many good cards. In the first 20 hands, I had JJ, QQ, KK and AK. I later had AKs, AA, AKs in 3 consecutive hands. I also got another AK and TT and my final hand was JJ.

Unfortunately I either won the blinds or lost with most of the above hands. Twice I won nice pots with AK vs AQ.

All those great hands and I ended up in 6th place /images/graemlins/confused.gif

At the same time I was playing another 2 table and had crap the whole time and ended up winning the thing. Very bizarre!

I think I was just fortunate enough throughout the tourney to have relatively easy decisions. With a few execptions, most of my hands were either total garbage or easy push-ins. I managed to come out ahead on most of my coin-flip hands too.

Overall I had a good time and hope to participate in more of these in the future. Makes for a great break from Party too.

Hiya Cris, (I've always wanted to type that) /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the compliment on hand selection. My game has evolved from limit ring games to NL SnG's over the last 3 months, so any feedback I get from this group is very meaningful to me. (Your comment about me doing a good job catching Aces when I had aces if pretty funny too) /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

For the life of me I just couldn't figure out what you would limp with here. I had the powerful T4o. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif I considered pushing in on the flop there but decided to let it go. After hanging on for as long as I did I wasn't going to blow it on a hand like that.

I haven't had time to look through hand histories yet but I will post some other hands if I get time.

Thanks all, had a great time and hope to be there next Wed.

When the blinds are high and it's short-handed, Ax is often a monster, even if the kicker is weak. This is because most pots are heads-up and all-in, guaranteeing you five chances to hit an Ace, and if you do, top pair will usually take the pot.

I may have made a mistake when I called your all-in with KTo, although that's usually a pretty good hand in a four-handed game. I was getting ~5:2 pot odds on my call. The only hands KTo can't call at 5:2 are AA, AK, AT, KK, KQ, and KJ.

That's a small fraction of the hands on which you could have reasonably made that all-in move. Even if you had QQ, JJ, or TT, I'm only a 7:3 dog with KT. With AQ or AJ, I'm a 2:1 dog, and with any weaker Ace only 3:2. Against any lower pocket pair, I'm a ~7:6 dog.

That's why I made the call. As it turned out, you had AT and I was crippled.

This of course raises the question of whether I should have just pushed in with KTo, since it will usually be correct to call an all-in reraise once we're already in the money. I suspect I should have; it's possible that you'd have laid down ATo vs. an all-in raise. The problem, of course, is that if I push in, I'm getting only a little better than 1:1 from the pot, and hands that call me are likely to be favorites over KTo.

So the wiser decision might have been to muck KTo, and wait for a better spot. I dunno.

Oh well. Live and learn.

Cris
