100th Post, The Home Game, Meeting a GBIFF

So I was sorta hoping to hold out my 100th post for a decent cash or something, but that could take years, so instead I'll talk about the home game that until this week, I had been crushing.

Since I started this home game in late December, we've met almost every 2 weeks, with some exceptions due to scheduling conflicts. In 5 months after 11 get togethers for exactly 23 games, this is what the leaderboard looks like.

1. Ken C: 540$ <--- me
2. Eric T: 160$
3. Sean L: 145$
4. Sean M: 140$
5. Ben S: 130$
6. Ian: 130$
7. Steven L: 120$ <--- better known to some as "Leafs"
8. Evan W: 80$
9. Tristan: 75$
10. Alex M: 50$
11. Mark P: 30$
12. Jene W: 30$
13. Travis M: 20$
14. Shane: 20$

Needless to say, on the average, the field is pretty soft for a not-completely-shitty poker player like myself. The #3 player is my personal pupil. The problem with just about everyone in the game is they overvalue weak holdings, and don't know how to play aggressive properly. Since I took Sean L under my wing, he's gone from slightly below middle of the pack to #3. I told him after the game last night that he's not getting any more tips..

Now how about this Leafs character. A couple months ago I was welcomed into the +1 community. Shortly after my inception, I got acquainted with this "Leafs" person who had just moved out to Calgary. He caught wind of my game, wanted in, and offered free beer since he works at Molson. Needless to say, I got him out as fast as I possibly could.

The game last night was the first time he'd managed to make it out. Always strange to meet a gbiff. He quickly went to work on the weak field. I tried my best to take the winds out of his sales, but he got there twice against me, once with A9 vs AK (vs another AK) all in preflop, and then another time with K8s > A2o in resteal situation (he raised OTB, I shoved from BB). He took 2nd in the first game for 20$, and took the second, bigger buyin game down for 100$ when QJs beat 44 all in preflop.

It was fun havin' you out man, despite the fact that you took my spot as the master of suckouts. haha...

That's all for now. I've finally got internet at home again, and hopefully PokerOffice support has fixed the bug that basically makes it useless for FullTilt since the last update, so I'll be at the tables a bunch over the next lil while trying to chip up to a respectable bankroll.

Thanks to all my readers.. regular or otherwise. The first 100 posts were fun. I'll try to keep it that way.

Sampling the Skills Series

I'm blasting away in the Skill Series playing Razz. I had a tough run to start, but in hour two I'm really making a lot of hands.

Here's a fun snap shot from mid hour 1.



I'm currently 5/31 and we just started the 2nd break

thebmore and I get into a pretty big pot with my (J5)A to his (xx)3 when 4th and 5th make us (J5)A75 (xx)3QK. I crack 11K.

Down to 3 tables. I'm 7/23 with 10,440

Big pot vs oossuuu, a good catch on 6th makes my A2569 the best hand (he's showing 3T2K). 13,440 and 7/21

Loretta hits 4th and I don't. 11,840

I've accumulated this stack without a single KO. Odd.

It's really easy to bluff in razz... see below.

RNallin wins the pot (13,700) with J,8,4,3,A

Back down to 15,490 .. 3/17

I make my first big suckout and bust Al. Up to 21k

Take a smallish pot off Fuel. 23,918 puts me 2nd of 15

Again I get sucked on 7th street, this time by Rambler spiking an ace, and I'm way back down at 14,368 (6/13)

Ugh. For the THIRD time, my opponent spikes an Ace on 7th. Down to 7618 (11/12)

I'm the tourny shortstack and I keep having to bring in .. These hands are great... (AA)Q,

Out in 11th when I pick a bad spot with (36)8 vs (25)3. GG me.

Ah well, it was fun. Running bad in endgame always kills me.

Blog-as-you-Go : Midnight Madness

Just underway.
Hand #2: Call raise OTB w AJs, whiff, fold to cbet (1395)
Hand #3: Raise 9Ts from HJ, OTB, SB call. Cbet rag flop, OTB calls, SB crai, I fold. (1105)
Hand #7: Small BvB pot (unraised), I flop OESD and turn a FD but cant semibluff him off 2nd pair (1000)
Hand #11: QQ in HJ turns into bluff on KxKJ and I take the pot (1180)
Hand #16: 77 in BB, OTB raises, I 3b, he takes a while and calls. I shove for a little less than the pot on KJ6 and he folds (1605)
Hand #26: Lose a big flip vs CO from SB with 88 < AK, crippled (475)
- Double up OTB vs CO, A8 > K9 (860)
- Presto UTG flops a set 3-handed and I ~double up (1660)
- AQ in SB, MP limps, I raise, BB shoves for a tiny bit more, MP folds, I call and hold vs 8To (2160)
- Moved for third time >.<
- I have a donkey on my right I can't wait to take advantage of...
- 2 orbits of death at new table and it's break time (1860)
- Getting into desperation mode. Another orbit of death, just shoved K2o OTB (1700 ~14BB)
- This table is so tight... 18/9/1 overall
- Another dead orbit, got two steals in (1960, 12BB)
- I raise A8 on the CO, BB (just got here) shoves, I have to call and suck a river 8 vs his AK (4000)
- My first hand in ages! 22! I go set fishing and miss (3300)
- Bluff a raggy board w 5-high from BB in a limped pot, take it down (3600)
- Get a sooted ace in a small battle with a MP limping nit. He plays a pretty transparent flush and I fold my TPNK (2800, 14bb)
- Raise 66 UTG and get a friendly flop. cbet takes it. (4000)
- Antes just kicked in.
- Aces!! Scarey board (8QQ8K) and I win a decent pot vs 66 (5665)
- BB in a limped pot, checks all the way and a river jack makes my J2o good (5555)
- JJ in MP, I raise and BB calls. He c/f's a rag two-heart flop (6280, 21bb)
- Getting braver with my steals. 84s in the CO gets me back up. (6405, 16bb)
- AA picks up the blinds (7330)
- 2nd break. When we come back I'm gonna have 13bb. Need more love than JJ or AA every 20 hands. 135/222 (6 off the money)
- ITM! woot. My M is 5.
- Raise 66 UTG, no love on the flop 3-handed. Under 10BB
- Out in 201st. Flop gave me hope...but no.

Decent Cash

Final tabled a 10$ 6-max tourney (I always seem to do well in these things)

Ran pretty good the whole way. Would have been nice to dodge the OESFD though. (Money in on the flop)





I'll take it!

Now Aces suck too

Played for the first time in over a week today. Feeling pretty confident. Now that my bankroll is crippled (I'm officially a loser on FT now), I'm down to 5$ SNGs and the ocassional 6.5$ double heads up for a token.

The token tourny was over in a hurry when I ran TPTK into a naked flush draw on the flop and in true fashion made it on the turn.

Then I get my first premium pair since my current 0/6 streak with KK/QQ

KK is 0/3 in its last 3 appearances (2/3 for running into AA)

JJ and AA don't really show up anymore.

Gooooood times.
