40 Games in (about) 50 Hours
I'm going to post the results from my weekend.
My goal is 40 games before midnight Sunday. I'll post as much as I can, and try to keep a running tally of ITM and ROI. |

2nd. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Should have got first, but my cards went to crap on me. The blinds were at 300/600, plus 50, and I'd been forced to fold several times in a row because of crap cards. Then I tried a bluff, got raised all-in, and had to fold again, which pretty much evened us up. Then I picked up 33. I felt like I needed to make a stand with it - crappy hand that it is. Now here's my question. I could have gone all-in with it. Instead, I made a substantial raise - about half my chips - and planned to put the rest in on the flop regardless. He called, called again, and turned over J9, for second pair. Is there a good argument for going all-in, vs betting half and half in this situation? |

Re: 40 Games in (about) 50 Hours
I'd rather just push with 33 to get maximum folding equity. But if you are not going to push preflop, betting 1/3 of your stack seems better because it leaves you a pot-sized flop bet. I suppose if you read the villain as looser preflop and tighter post flop, then option 2 looks better.

Re: 40 Games in (about) 50 Hours
Yes. I've been moving up slowly, from the Party 10's and 20's, to the PS Turbos 15's, and now 25's.

Re: 40 Games in (about) 50 Hours
Yes, I've gone back and forth on it.
Do you think a less than all-in bet preflop looks less like a bluff? |

Re: 40 Games in (about) 50 Hours
Just picked up a 9th on my first game for the morning.
I don't get many ninths, so here it is (yes yes, I know it's a bad beat story): PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed) MP2 (t1460) Hero (t1490) CO (t1440) Button (t1450) SB (t1380) BB (t1730) UTG (t1440) UTG+1 (t1500) MP1 (t1610) Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t20, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t60</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls t40, MP2 calls t40. Flop: (t190) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="CC3333">MP2 bets t100</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t300</font>, BB calls t300, MP2 calls t200.

River: (t3350) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t3350 (I have to confess, these kinds of hands still make scream like a little girl.) He had 67, for the rivered four-outer. |

Re: 40 Games in (about) 50 Hours
Well, I hate risk making this look like a bad beat thread, but these kinds of things frustrate me.
I promise I'll stop after this. In this first one, I already had a read on the villian. He'd called a raise on the first hand with 72o. I didn't respect his raise, and wanted to isolate him from the bb. PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) CO (t175) Button (t625) Hero (t1825) BB (t3450) UTG (t3975) MP1 (t1045) MP2 (t2405) Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Button raises to t625</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t1825</font>, BB folds. Flop: (t2600) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> Turn: (t2600) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> River: (t2600) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> Final Pot: t2600 Results in white below: <font color="white"> Hero has Ah Ts (high card, ace).

UTG folds, MP folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to t1250</font>, Button folds, SB calls t795 (All-In), BB folds. Flop: (t2345) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Turn: (t2345) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> River: (t2345) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t2345 Results in white below: <font color="white"> Hero has Js Ah (one pair, aces).

Hero has Kc Js (high card, ace). Outcome: BB wins t810. </font> ***** I know this stuff just happens, but it's frustrating. I can understand why people get superstitious, and become conspiracy theorists. That makes 4 wins from last night, and one loss, and 2 losses this morning. |
