Re: How to play aces? I hate that. Im gona claim moral victory and say it was whatever I said he had.

Re: How to play aces? So what did he have then? :lol Knew the guy who folded had a good PP

Re: How to play aces? You played that perfectly. Always reraise, always bet hard with AA preflop theres no other way to play it imo. And what a fantastic flop to boot. Kunglimpan must have had QQ, JJ or 1010 there. Herbie should have either AK, 88 or 66 anything else and fcuk knows what hes doing. Id go for 88 as most likely. So yes you should have won, if hes got any other hand other than those 3 then I have no idea what hes up to and youve got very unlucky.

Re: GaFs bankroll challenge
Seriously dude youd definitely win on them most of the players are awful, I had over 10bb per 100 hands on pokertracker on that level when I used to play them. Cash games are my bag though. I didnt know that about the cruise qualification, have to take a look into that, whered u hear about it?Hehe - cheers for the vote of confidence, but I'm not convinced and feel a little lost without PO and PT .... I think I've usually managed to beat the minimum buy in games on sites, but struggled above that......... I see Laddies cruise qualification is under way again - bet you're going for it :ok -
Re: GaFs bankroll challenge Start playing on the 0.25/0.50 tables Gaf youll beat em easy

Re: Project WSOP 2007 - BELIEVE!!!!! Im just suprised no one wants to enter the $1000 instead. If you want a PL gang all gunning on the same tourny tho fair enough though. I was just thinking I doubt theres hardly anyone, if anyone at all thats played in as big as a $1000 buy in before out of their own pocket, so seems strange everyone is going even further up to the $1500 if you see what I mean. Are they any online qualifying tournies for the $1000 and $1500 events? Anyone know?
-
Re: Project WSOP 2007 - BELIEVE!!!!! Hey guys and gals, Havent read the WHOLE thread but notice you all seem to have your eye on the $1500. Why is that? No reason why not I guess but there is a $1000 tourny that goes on as well so whys no one talking about that?

Re: AA - What do you do
I dont really care what they think about what ive got when I check. IM pretty sure one of THEM has a jack so why put more money into a pot your drawing so thin into it just makes no sense at all. Theres no shame in checking when youre pretty sure youre behind. Id bet again against one opponent but not 2.So as a new cash player I need some advice here. If I check - will that tell me what the other players have got?? Wouldn't I get bet against anyway - if I check. If I put in a continuation bet, wouldn't that give me more information?? -
Re: AA - What do you do Id have to check and fold to any decent bet here unfortunately. Against TWO opponents with NO flush draw on the flop one of them is going to have the top pair so often here. Against 1 opponent you could bet again but its just too likely one of them has a J here as they both call after you made a good flop bet. A note - do not be afraid to raise it up to 5bb preflop with big pairs preflop. People love to call and it wont decrease your action so do that.
-
Re: What would you do? I personally wouldnt have though a flush draw would be check calling along here especially 109d or AKd but I guess if hes a really bad player that could be the case. I would expect those sorts of hands to just go all in on the flop or something
-
Re: What would you do? Guess you may as well call even though it sucks cos the odds are too good. Youre rarely gona be ahead here though. Should have put him in on the turn though, no reason to expect you are behind and it would have been a much better play in the long run without doubt.

What next?
in Poker
Re: What next?
You have to raise preflop imo. 4 handed with a suited ace, defo worth a raise. I see why you bet 3K cos its exactly pot sized for the BB to call it, I always do stuff like that as well ( or maybe it was just coincidence!). Anyway I probly woulda raised only to 2.4K so I can safely throw it away if someone comes back over the top. Also if I get called I havent committed TOO much. Fairly hard to place him on a hand here. I dont think hes strong though is my instinct. But that doesnt mean he wont call if I go all in either. I just dont think he has an awesome hand, it looks way more feeler than sucker bet to me. Youre either all in or fold here is basically the decision, no other play makes any other sense whatsoever. I think he should have some of it, either K or Q or draw and I think im getting called even if he just has a draw if I go all in because of the size of the pot, so i would fold. Im not stupidly low on chips so I can still come back. Its possible youll gain a fold by going all in but not probable enough for me.Simple really - what are your thoughts on the hand, whats happened so far, what do you put him on and what do you think I should do next? -
Re: Played wrong? Flop play is a big problem here to be brutally honest. I dont want to sound harsh and stuff but as you put the thread up you obviously want opinions, basically the bets on the flop are awful. Youve got an excellent flop there, you flop the set AND the go card is there in the Ace which is what you always want when you flop a set - a high card. Theres also the flush draw which you need to bet to give the wrong odds incase thats out there. You should be leading out and potting that there, you win big pots by betting hard. You get people calling or raising with top pair and calling for wrong odds with flush draws by potting it. When he reraises you hes basically telling you he has the top pair or the draw so you must come back over the top with a large reraise. Hopefully he has the Ace if he has he wont fold. If he has the flush draw he can choose to call with wrong odds its his choice, were fine either way. Theres not much point going any further than that with the hand analysis cos it would have turned out totally different as a result. I dont blame you for losing your money theres no reason to believe you havent got the best hand at all. But theres big lessons to be learned just for general play there. Getting all in on flops with sets is my favourite play, by betting them small and slowplaying etc, espeicially when theres draws youre just asking for trouble.
GAF is totally correct. If were being pinickity, you cant say you would have still lost the hand whatever you did, cos each little different action/bet results in different cards coming out etc.Of course, that would have meant you lost MORE on the hand, but that doesn't mean you would have been wrong to raise bigger........ seek the right decisions (whichyou can impact) not the right results (which you cant impact so much) -
Re: crazy cash game The big games 25/50 and up really are pretty mental. If you watch some HU in those stakes then it really just seems to be about who has the bigger balls tbh, I dont really see how they can ever put one another on hands. Youll get a raise then a large reraise and a call and theyll both have shite if you see it most of the time :lol I have to admit I dont really like it either, it doesnt seem so much about the game anymore but just challenging eachothers bottle and stuff. I honestly think the best quality cash game poker is played at 2/4 in terms of the game. I dont mean all the best players play 2/4, far from it, some of the high stakes players are the best there is, I just like the style of the game better. Probably cos im a full ring guy and I like playing that rather than shorthanded. All the high stakes stuff seems to be shorthanded and HU.

Re: Mike Matusow's opinions of Gus Hansen Gus Hansen is probly just putting him all in every hand cos he doesnt really give a shit too much and is just trying to end it tbh. Always like to hear a bit of bad blood though! But yeah Matusow is just steaming, theyre both great players who are quite combustable in tournies

Re: Online Reads and Tells Its the same live too :ok

Re: Online Reads and Tells Instacheck is an obvious one. They have nothing so bet and youll take it almost everytime. Its a sweet thing to see when it goes check/check really fast, bet and almost everytime youll take it. A speech one - say someone goes all in and your faced with a tough decision on whether to call. If they say to you 'ill show you if you fold' or something to that effect, you very likely have the best hand. It seems to work, its kind of like a ple for you to fold in a way. Another one which indicates a strong hand is a very long wait and then an all in. Usually trying to make you think they had to think about it a lot or whatever when often in this scenario they actually have the nuts or close to it, so watch for that.

Re: Party Poker - Finished A big factor with playing is all those times that people fold and you never get to see what they had. People fold after calling on turns and rivers all the time right? Well all those times they probably had stupid gutshots, bottom pairs hoping to hit trips etc etc etc. The key here is you only get to SEE THEM when they hit their lucky card. All those dozens of times where people fold is where they didnt get lucky but you dont really pay attention as its just a fold. So it seems like they happen a lot but its going on every hand near enough, you just dont get to see the cards.

Re: Cash Game Buy In Strategy The Mole... Id be interested as to why you buy in with the minimum and how this changes your strategy as thats what the threads about. Just saying you do isnt really haelping tremendously, id be genuinely interested as to why you think thats good for you. Im not questioning if it is or not but some reasoning as to why would be sweet. Its also a fact that if people say ive earnt some sort of reasonable/large amount people are going to be sceptical. Purely for the fact that the majority of the people who say these things are in fact talking BS. Again not saying you are talking BS but thats how its gona be perceived especially if you dont back up your strategy with reasoning. I have read that Barry Greenstein (obviously a good player!) buys in with half stacks and stuff as his strategy. Although ive yet to hear a truly convincing argument as to why this is better than the max buy in.
-
Re: Cash Game Buy In Strategy Guesswest is pretty much spot on as always. Max buy in (so 100bb) is the best buy in. As long as you believe you are better than the people you are playing against you want as much money on the table as possible (without being unreasonable to your roll of course). You can punish people more for mistakes which is the aim of the game. I always want to match anyones stack on the table at any one time so I can bust them if the opportunity arises. As long as you are a +EV player these conditions will result in more $$$ in the long run. Pocket pairs and flopping sets are my personal favourite stack busters. I like calling raises with them in anticipation of cracking big pairs that people tend to play very badly. If I dont have a max buy in these sorts of plays become less beneficial because I am not getting the implied odds to flop my sets. If you are playing at a level where you are scared or just worried to lose a max buy in at that level, then I dont think you should be playing that level personally. Drop down a level and take the max buy in there, itll make you a better player doing the right things in the long run imo. Having said that, theres nothing wrong with just going on a glory quest type thing just attempting to turn $20 into a lot but its basically gambling rather than playing to your potential I think.

Re: Heads up against AA
Yep Gaf is right there. Its all about the implied odds of the stacks. If we are both only having 10bb or something like this then its a definite fold. Btw the raise option is a bit stupid why the hell would you want to raise :lolIf he pushes all in on the flop, then it's a simple decision for you based on your chance and the pot odds - and DEFINITELY then gives you the implied odds to call pre flop.
Steal gone wrong?

Re: Steal gone wrong? Id call that for 3/1ish. If youve got a live 2 then its easy call and if he has an overpair then its about correct odds. Best hand to crack AA with anyway! :lol But yeah call. Hes got 7bb hell be pushing with many things id assume (espesh if youve been raising so much), you could even be as good as 45%ish or something if you get lucky and catch him pushing with something like Ace rag. I think youd specifically have to be against pocket 8s to fold this, correct me if im wrong though of course. And on the concerns of stacks, its not gona cripple you or anything so thats not a worry.
