The Official King of the Zoo #9 LHE Thread

[MicroBob]

i am proud to say i busted one of spicy's KK's when i had A9s or something.


spicy dominated our table. built the big stack relatively early and kept raising everyone out of their blinds.
frequently caused a fold-fest with a raise from UTG and UTG+1 (which happened to coincide with my blinds).

spicy started to read our table as being a bit tight and took advantage.
poor william sitting right next to spicy had a tough time getting going.....but was still playing pretty well.


when i tried to steal spicy's blinds it usually turned out not to be such a great idea. but spicy was also good for a couple of double-up's for me when i was in desperation mode.


one time i tried to steal with 85s or something...and the flop came Q85 ...but it was the first time spicy folded for one bet on the flop.


an orbit later i get JJ or something and raise spicy's blinds again....spicy complains on my blind-stealing frequency and i'm happy to get noticed on this one....until an A and K come on the flop and i have to get out of there.


when down to 2 tables i thought about trying a steal with 3c2c from CO.
but i think i felt someone was ready to take a stand against me so i let it go. the flop came all clubs....and i think crackerzack (or someone) hit 2-pair with their AJ or AT. coulda, woulda, shoulda.


a few hands later spicy made a smart call against me with 3rd pair or something when my AQ didn't catch a darn thing.
i really thought one more bet would induce a fold with two K's on the board.
one steal too many i guess.

good stuff.


very enjoyable tournament (particularly after i WASN'T the 3rd player out....which came very close to happening).

Who knocked out Emark and William?? PM me so I know and I can make good on the bounties.

i thought we had already established that crackerzack got them both.

Spicy didn't like giving up his blind as I discovered when he cracked my kings with 94. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I stand by the fact that I am +EV defending my BB vs any of you weaktight 2+2'ers [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I got my butt KICKED in this one. (out 41st, I believe)

I'm used to the standard tight 2+2 field, but I got trapped at SpicyF's table and couldn't cope with the high pace. Of course since it was limit, there was virtually no chance of me getting a new seat at another table.

A shameful showing, even for someone of my relative low experience. At least I know I need to work on my post-flop play. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
