    A hand I played last night in a live game - YOU make the play!

    Re: A hand I played last night in a live game - YOU make the play! Ok now I had to think for a second. His check indicates either he did not hit the flop at all or he hit a monster. A monster in this case would be AAA 555 or 666. If he had a better ace than me he surely would have bet the pot on my check. I do think because he is such an aggressive player he would have bet trips 5s or 6s as he knows I could well checkraise him here with a variety of draws or if I have an ace - if he has a set of aces that has to be the case ace on the board and I figure myself very unlucky - if this is what happened then he is going to get paid. Very good play by him by not biting and making a continuation bet with nothing on the flop when I planned to check-raise however now I have to reevaluate the hand. I have already decided the probability is I have the best hand, I would allocate him maybe a 20% chance of a slowplay and 80% for my pair of aces being the best hand but now I cannot slowplay myself as my hand is a lot more vulnerable than it was on the flop. There are three spades now and although I can discount him having a flush (if he had a flush draw on the flop I am sure he would have bet it as a semibluff) there is a large chance he has a lone spade in his hand and I cannot let him hit it for free. Any J Q or 10 rolling off on the river would make a broadway straight possible and of course there is a fair chance the K has made him a pair of kings. I come to the conclusion I have the best hand but no way can I slowplay now, so I bet the pot (7500) and am called very quickly by my opponent (hmmmmm)..... River...

    Re: 30k on 365 Its not that much different mate, just the prize money is a little better.... You still only get 1000 starting chips and the blind structure is very harsh. Also everyone still seems to play very loose and not really care about it, but to bhe honest with 1500 entrants you do kind of have to gather chips give yourself a shot at any of the decent prizes.

    This is the major online tournament of the week, every sunday night on stars they hold a 215 buy in 500k guaranteed MTT.

I have played in it a few times before, and got in the money a couple of times (nothing major tho just a few hundred bucks)...tonight im gonna give it another go....anyone else fancy it? Jez

    Re: A hand I played last night in a live game - YOU make the play! Yeah it was pot limit......he had about the same chip stack as me (30 odd k or so) This is a pretty good flop for me. There are plenty of draws on that board but against a lone opponent I am not quite so worried about protecting my hand on that board at the moment, the only thing that is a real danger in my mind is the bigger ace. I am definately going to play here, the only question is in what way. To bet out would not be a terribly bad play - it protects my pair of aces if he does have spades or a straight draw, however it will cause him to fold most losing hands here. If he had a pocket pair or anything other than a bigger ace he will fold if I bet out, the only things that I will get action from are the draws (not that likely) or if I am beat. However I could go for a check-raise. By checking in first position I could induce him to bet an awful lot more hands than he would call me with. For a start I know he is a very aggressive player and liable to bet the pot on a semibluff if he has a draw of some sort. By letting him do this and checkraising him back over the top it really tightens my grip around the hand and would probably make him fold something he could have easily outdrawn me with (after putting a lot of chips in the pot with it). He might also bet if he holds a pocket pair, or indeed if the flop missed him entirely and he just wants to test my cards and see if he can pick it up right here without a showdown. Of course he will bet if he has a better ace as well and I will hang myself with the checkraise, but his range of possible holdings here is very wide, far more so than most players, and I have already made up my mind to go through with my hand now.......so I check and he checks right behind me :o (motherfcker :lol) Turn....... $$$&$$ Your move?
