My raise on the flop was intended to look weak to induce an over bet and boy did it work, my heart rate increased as i pondered him having QQ but as ever they never have what they should do and he turns over a meager bluff so i take his stack home with me :dude

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread

Poor play by me' date=' losing my stack with trip 4s to trip Aces. I could probably justify it at this level given the way things go but all in all I played it pretty poorly! Ah well[/quote'] Was a bit loose but you assumed you would be ahead and you were unlucky! I've just taken a guys last $18 after he went on tilt, well i thought he did! A few hands before he called all in with ace high with 3 diamonds on the flop, he lost to the diamond flush but he tried to justify his call by saying he had pot odds or something which is rubbish as his only diamond was a 3, so he lost most his stack. A couple of hands later he pushes all in, now i'm feeling lucky and call with A4 hearts for $18, heads up he turns his cards over - AQdiamonds! gutted. the flop comes something like 5d Ac 9d so we have top pair but he has the nut flush draw, i can't remember what the turn was but the only card i could win with came on the river a 4c! well unlucky for him but fortune favours the brave. And i know that looks like i'm on one of those great pkr streaks but they must be the only 2 hands iv won in 2 hrs lol. :dude

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread No, there was no raise on the flop. If you missed that flop with position you bet. Even if he was checking say KK I was behind. I got greedy and I lost because of it. Before the flop I had a feeling it was dangerous to get involved as there weren't many players to pay me off and I wasn't guaranteed too and the flop check was very suspicious. Truth is I'm probably not alert enough at this stage and I paid the price. On the bright side, I have already turned $10 into $25 on the Omaha tables, so I'm making bits back...

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread Let's celebrate, i tilted away the $90 stack i had in no time at all :cheers:cheers:cheers:cheers:cheers:cheers:cheers:cheers It started really when the guy i beat earlier came back to the table and seemed like he had 10and above every hand, it was raise raise raise and he got over $100 so i started to play him with random hands, but was missing everything, then got tired and bored and didn't really care anymore but i'll win it back tomorrow :dude:dude:dude:dude:dude:dude:dude:dude:dude:dude:dude:dude

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread Aye, I don't believe so much anymore it's about cycles. I think there is a bit more of a case of us not playing optimally and we make mistakes which we otherwise don't and that's why we lose. Anyway, I'm really starting to get into this Omaha stuff. It's really simple, I've been playing a total of 1hr now and I'm up like 2 buy ins!

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread Cheers mate. PKR isn't a great place to develop much of a game but it pays off pretty nicely and you can develop a pretty good albeit slightly passive TAG game while you're at it. Just had a look back at the first post from PKR which is exactly 2 weeks ago. I had $140 in the PKR roll then and I am about to end this session about $80 up, which puts my PKR roll just above $600. $50 of that was the bonus so as you can tell the fish have fairly deep pockets ;)

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread Sometimes you learn from mistakes, and occasionally you learn from other peoples mistakes. I remembered the hand above (Where i busted AQ with KK) and I thought from the betting patterns here that AA or KK was what the initial raiser had. Even if he had QQ or JJ I was beat. Probably the best lay down I've made for a good long while: Table Type: Ring Money Type: REAL MONEY Blinds are now $0.25/$0.50 Button is at seat 2 Seat 1: KimiRaikkonen - $59.64 Seat 2: MingGinGusset - $17.25 Seat 3: EVILBET - $42.25 Seat 4: 27Nade - $72.53 Seat 5: KaBaTuff - $68.36 Seat 6: Daveco - $36.75 Seat 7: Dranziel - $44.82 Seat 8: Monster31 - $56.17 Seat 9: iesche - $22.72 Seat 10: mantisman - $14.33 Moving Button to seat 3 27Nade posts small blind ($0.25) KaBaTuff posts big blind ($0.50) Shuffling Deck Dealing Cards Dealing [As Qs] to KimiRaikkonen Daveco calls $0.50 Dranziel calls $0.50 Monster31 raises to $1.50 iesche folds mantisman folds KimiRaikkonen calls $1.50 MingGinGusset folds EVILBET folds 27Nade folds KaBaTuff folds Daveco calls $1.50 Dranziel calls $1.50 Dealing Flop [Qc 8d 4d] Daveco checks Dranziel checks Monster31 bets $4 KimiRaikkonen calls $4 Daveco folds Dranziel calls $4 Dealing Turn [Js] Dranziel checks Monster31 bets $10 KimiRaikkonen folds Dranziel calls $10 Dealing River [5c] Dranziel checks Monster31 checks Taking Rake of $1.93 from pot 1 Monster31 shows [Kh Kc] Monster31 has One Pair: Kings Dranziel mucks Monster31 wins $36.82 with: One Pair: Kings

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread

Btw Nade' date=' what did you mean when you said 'haha kimi, nice flop'?[/quote'] I said haha when i saw u call after i raised because of what i'd just written on the other thread re. the worth in calling with a lower hand, but it turned out you did actually have a decent hand! 'Nice flop' was because i was peed at missing the flop altogether.

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread

Ah righto. I know that time you had QQ where I called you with KQs and won and was just wondering if you were referring to that. As obscure as it might be I just didn't want the table getting hints etc. Must treasure the donks for they give PKR meaning :)
Plenty of donks about that's for sure

Not anymore! Why must you always tempt fate like this? :tongue2 Time to end the session I think, before I start donking too much. A couple of well played hands but the session was rather blemished by that stupid play with AQ against the A3.

You were solid as ever really, the AQ was a bit reckless but you've learned from that. I felt i had a good run of the game and players on there with the biggest stack but just getting tired and i know what happened last time i got tired!...

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread Solid enough but I made a couple of bad plays that cost about $10 total towards the end which I decided was when I should leave (loose call with AJs and stupid cbet with AKo). Anyway, I should know better with AQ now and I think it probably cost me $30 so the session could have been better. Thankfully I cracked thoses aces so I still had a profit. Might check back on in an hour or so and try and get me some fish before playing the BoB tonight.

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread I don't know about you but when i get to that sort of stack i tend to play hands a lot more selectively i.e. I'll only play when i have position, the money is right and know the players i'm up against, as you saw i managed to steal quite a few pots when i got over 100 with or without a hand. BTW, What did you make of how i played that nut straight? I know i got the maximum in that situation but wondered what a different PoV was.

Re: Crouchie's Poker Thread To be honest I'm not too sure because I wasn't really an outsider look in so to speak. I didn't know you had the straight but I did know that you had at least a set because I'm sure we both had the guy with QQ marked as a super rock and he was very easy to read. However I did find the minimum 50c raise into a pot of about $10 very suspicious. It's not going to push off the overpair on the flop but on later streets he might come back to it and that'll be a reason for him to get away. The smooth call of his reraise was great though and I liked your turn bet. Gave him just enough rope to hang himself with. Specifically I thought it was played pretty well but it did end nicely. There's a big disparity between a lead out 50c bet and a lead out $18 bet when the turn is a bit of a blank and I suppose it could make people suspicious. Anyone who can't get away from an overpair is probably going to make the same play if you lead the flop for say $4 then if you lead it for 50c, except that on latter streets he's probably less likely to be alerted. Still, at this level it's hard to know how specific to be as you sometimes don't feel many people are paying that much attention. Either way, it was a nice session for both of us :) I'm guessing you've made back your original PKR losses and are now nicely in profit?

Now you point it out the 50c then $18 raises were very suspicious, add in the middle of that the re-raise up to $8 from my first bet of 50c the alarm bells would have been ringing. If i was the 'monster' in this case i would have called the re-raise up to $8 but that coupled with a massive bet of $18 would have turned me away but as i say it was a big donk play by him. Anyway i'm not going to play it the same every time, for example against aggressive players i'd just let them bet. Cheers for the info :ok And i am in profit but the other times i've got up to this level it has dissapeared pretty quickly, i guess i've taken a step forward by quitting when i got tired so i'll be looking forward to taking more tables by storm with you. Will be on in a little bit.
