2+2 SnG Results

[heyrocker]

160 hands played and saw flop:
- 2 times out of 31 while in small blind (6%)
- 11 times out of 32 while in big blind (34%)
- 5 times out of 97 in other positions (5%)
- a total of 18 times out of 160 (11%)

Pots won at showdown - 4 out of 5 (80%)
Pots won without showdown - 28


PokerJon was to my right, and he was CONSTANTLY throwing steal bets at me when I was in the blinds. It was driving me crazy but I just kept getting the most outrageous garbage in the blinds that there was no way I could even think about making a move.

Also I'm happy to send my hand history to anyone who is interested.

This game really was proper tight.

I think I win the prize for most hating showdowns.
The showdown I won was with AA which I got all in b4 the flop. The won I lost was obviosuly where I went out.

madness.

OK, this is a hand from the EURO game, feel free to flame away, since I really need some perspective on that one.

Blinds 15/30, I'm w/2260. UTG folds, UTG+1 (Ruddiger, 1130) limps, Tim folds, I raise with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] to 120. Folded to BB (random?, 3145) who raises to 210. He's been raising a few times PF. Ruddiger folds. I decide to slow play a little, since it's only the both of us, and I call.

Flop: 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Not the last monster I flopped in this game... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]. BB checks, I bet 390, he calls.

Turn: T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

BB checks, I bet 600, he calls. I don't put him on the flush draw (he didn't have the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], but reraised me PF) and I rather hope he's slowplaying a lower set.

Flop: 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

BB checks. I push for 1060, thinking a smaller bet will be more likely to represent the flush, in case he has a set and is afraid of it. He thinks for a long while and folds. I think he folded an ace, although it's not too probable he had the 4th ace. Maybe he was on JJ-KK.

What do you think of how this whole hand was played, and especially about my river move? Should I have checked it behind? or bet smaller, trying to induce a re-raise bluff?

[ThaSaltCracka]

I may not have been paying attention if this was said, but is the leaderboard going to somehow reflect who plays in both, and penalize those who don't?

If it has been decided on, I don't want to fight to change anything, cuz it seems like it took you guys a while to decide upon everything. Can someone explain what the ruling is?

BTW, I apologize if this is in the wrong thread

The majority of hands I was raising on were good hands HU. I think towards the end when i was raising all in, I prob had any PP, or any A. I wasn't stealing that often as I had the chip mountains, moby and helmet behind me!!!

Was a good battle though!

Cheers

Aleo is organising two sets of rankings - one titled Euro Rankings for the Tuesday game, the other North American Rankings for the Wed/Thurs game.

Therefore you will not be penalised if you only play Tuesdays game for instance. It must also be noted that the names of the rankings only relate to the time the games are put on, not eligibility. Euro players can qualify for the N.American Rankings and vice versa.

Hope that clears it up for you.

so essentialy there will be two leaderboards? or will it be reflected in one board.
Thanks Simon!!

[Simon Diamond]

Two leaderboards. Aleo will post them here - I will make a webpage later this week after the N.American game has been played.

[ThaSaltCracka]

cool thanks Simon

are we going to try to do a "tourney of Champions"?
Top 5 from each board in one SnG ?

[TylerD]

Sounds good, but it would have to be top 4 from euro top 4 from N. America and a HU battle for the ninth spot. I think we should give it about a month a decent set of results before we try this though. Perhaps a monthly battle would be a good idea?
