Who's in? I am, table 15.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

in at table 30, wondering why only 437 players?

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

646 started.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

I'm in. Table 36.

You did say Party didn't you? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

(Last week I posted in a thread only to later realize I was on a different site.) Poker is plenty humbling enough without making a fool of myself like that. Much like the straight I just called down with two pair. Luckily it was cheap.

I'm in and I vow to make a good showing. Seems like it's been forever since I got a thing going in one of these.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

my screen fnially updated.

2nd one out.
 

1st Hand:

UTG raises to 80. I call from the BB with 44. HU.

Flop is 234r.

I check. He bets 250. I push all-in. He calls.

He has 45 and a 6 comes on the turn and the board fails to pair. Luckily I was only the second one out and not the first. Whew!! I would hate that.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

table 26 for now.

Re: 2nd one out.
 

Sucks Phil. But I'd fold that preflop if it's going to be heads up.

Blinds 10/20. EP raises to 50, I reraise to 150 in MP w/ red QQ, he calls, heads up. Flop AAT two clubs. He checks, I bet 265 into a pot of 330, he calls. Turn puts up the flush. I check behind. River bricks, he moves in and I fold.

t1120 now cuz i just won a pot.

Re: 2nd one out.
 

4015 at break. Have had Aces twice, got all in vs A9 once.
That put me up to 2000. Thne I doubled up again with KQ. I called a riase and it came QT3. Checked to me, I bet pot, got reraised all in and called after a little debate, he turned over AT. I held up.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

t1120 at the break.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

1905 1st break - pretty uneventful. flopped a set of 10s and slowplayed em nicely.

looking forward to checking in next break.

good luck to ya.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

1545 1st break.

Had AA twice, couldn't scare up much action. How come every time I run into AA, I'm all in. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

thanks for the heads-up. i know ted is a monster, luckily he was shortstacked. they just moved me to table 1 where i dont recognize anyone, which is good.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

Out 214th.

Went all-in pre-flop for about 1600 from the BB against a 3xBB raise and I caller, who both had me outstacked, one by a considerable amount. Original raiser folded, Mr. Big Stacks thinks and thinks, finally calls with--ta da!--69s and hits his flush on the river.

Ooof.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

2330 at 2nd break. Missing a flush draw is where most of my stack went.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

whoa, just got monsterly lucky.

my 88 ran into AA.

i rivered the straight.

finally on the positive side of a stupid beat.

6029 at 2nd break.

lookin forward to checkin in on 3rd break.

Re: 2nd one out.
 

Well, I figured it was worth the call for 60 since I could expect to get his entire stack if I flopped a set, which I did. Just didn't work out. oh well. better than finishing on the button like i did two weeks ago.

Re: 2nd one out.
 

Entire stack is optimstic, but yeah, I say you gotta call for 60!

when i wrote that ted was short stacked he had 375 chips. i see he now has over 12000.
the guy is a machine.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

Still kicking with 92 left. Would have been at 10K, but AJ sucked out my AQ.

Otoh, I took down AA w/KK earlier, so I'm not really complaining.

Otooh, my AA lost to KK in the $100 event (which I am now out of), so maybe I am.

Anyway, 4500 chips left with blinds at 200/400...and now 89 left.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

out in 85th, came over top the of a big stack with AKs, and he called with TT. A and a T came.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

still kicking at 3rd break.

t9254

lookin forward to checkin in next break.

btw, there is a guy at my table named lvzee --

Oh. You were on my table. Didn't realize you were 2+2. The player 'wilsaf' seemed quite mystified by your play "so close to the money". You did the right thing of course.

Lost JJ to K9s (all in preflop) to go down to ~2K. Then took JJ up against AK and flopped a J to double up to 4200. Break now, then the hand-for-hand march of death. I will be the button when play continues, so that's good news anyway...

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

w00t. First hand after the break I get AA. Get 2 players all in (one I outchipped by a little). At 13K now. Wicked sweet awsome.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

Yeah I never play for 70th place, trying to get a big stack to make a run. Big Triple up right there with AA.

cfere, im new here and in SF (north beach) too! i saw your AA hand. let's meet up at table one and go heads up in a while! im waiting there now.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

I saw wilsaf said I could have just called and saw if I flopped anything, I'm guessing it would have been hard to get away from top pair on the flop, as he flopped a set of 10s also.

Yeah, and really that's not the point. You're getting a near coin-flip with substantial overlay *and* you were the one that pushed. With wilsaf's way, you only get to see 3 cards to hit your AK, and it's only a "coinflip" when you see all 5. And also, as you say, it's not like you win everytime you hit.

And that's not even getting into the times he has AQ (or AJ, KQ, etc) then pushes you off your hand when the flop is all undercards.

Re: Official Partypoker.com Super Thursday thread
 

at 4th break im at 14012.

look forward to updating at 5th break.

Done...
 

Sorry King. Gl to you.

Last hand:

I've got 6100. Blinds are 750/1500. Big stack limps in MP. I have KTo on the button. I figure he's got either a small pair or suited connectors, so worst case I'm a coinflip with overlay if I push, so I do (9 spots til next money jump, and I only really care about the final table). BB pushes (uh oh), limper folds. BB has AK.

And just for kicks, board comes: Q Q 6 6 (whew, I got a tie!) K. Oops. Damn.

Re: Done...
 

what do you mean you had a tie? He had AQQ66, and you had KQQ66, before the king hit.
