BBT: Props for Loretta

BBT3 is coming, and with it a lot of people are starting to make predictions.

Loretta has already made Hoyazo's list of 40 players. Hopefully the prediction comes true and Lor gets back 2 back entries to the ToC.

I won't be able to play in nearly as many of these as I'd like to, since life is hugely demanding this semester, but I'll definitely get a few cracks at it.

Cya there!

Getting a little tired of this (again)

I'm getting tired of posting about how bad I run, but there's nothing else to fucking post.

Playing the riverchasers, I just had 33 call me unimproved on a T-high flop (He minraised, I 3bet OTB). I wimp out turn and river because I don't really have a read and my AJ doesn't cut it. After that, JJ sees a Q on the flop and an A on the turn and I lay it down. A couple hands later...

In a 26$ token frenzy I ran JJ into QQ on a T-high flop. (Called my raise IP pre, called flop bet on a wet board... Shoved it into him on the turn FTL.

Also played both daily doubles (Still alive in Double A), but double B ended in a lesson on how to dodge a lot of outs when AdTd was no good vs QQ on a T-high, two diamond flop. I turned a gutshot too, but everything missed, and there goes 12 bucks for a whopping 2 hands of tournament play. Wheee.

I run goot.

Roll is under 600 for the first time since shortly after winning the 3$ KO. I need to turn something around soon.

Trying to Turn a Profit on Tier I SNGs

So after last mid-week's debacle of running somewhat (extremely) crappy, I had a ROI on the 8$ Tier 1 token sats of about -30%. Not terrific, considering these things are supposed to be supremely beatable.

I had a very brief amount of time to try on this evening and went 1 for 1, despite running KK into the monster AQ early. Here's your key hands (for all the hand history junkies out there .. I know I'm one):

First hand of the tourney, I get a gift from the SB.

And that was enough for me to coast to the final 6. On the token bubble it was a little worrisome. With the blinds at 200/400 and all the stacks at the table between 3000 and 5000. I was 2nd lowest stack, and in danger of being the bubble boy.

Fortunately for me, some dingus thought it would be cool to shove his #3 stack in the CO with 22. Even more fortunately, the donkknob big stack in the big blind called it off with AT. Ace on the flop and that's that. Questionable play in a satellite, IMO. Yeah, we were already in the money. But both those players could have eeeasily coasted to a token.

Works for me!

See you next time, and thanks for reading.

Beating the Home Game (Part 2), 10$ KO final table recap

Ahh, sweet victory. Last night was another addition of "Poker Night at Ken's" and we had our best turn out yet, filling the 10-seater table for the first time on the first 10$ game. There were a lot of intense moments, one of which included a fairly early 3-way all in with me holding TT on a 3-rag board with two diamonds up against an unimproved 66 and AdJd. I dodged all 3000 outs and was sitting on a massive stack early. I got myself in trouble later when I underestimated how much another guy at the table had an pushed him in when I raised K8 OTB and he called me in MP with 89. The flop was 892 and from how he'd been playing, I thought he was weak, but ended up selling him almost my entire stack. I then doubled up about 4 times and went on a tear in the final 3 and ended up winning when KJ > JT heads up all in preflop.

The second game we upped the stakes to 20 bucks. I took the lead in this one when I ended up rivering a flush in the BB with 5s2s vs a poorly played top pair of aces. He told me "if you go all in, I'll call", so what the heck, I have to figure my flush is good... Early double up. I rolled from there, beating K4 with KJ on a K-high flop for another big pot, and ended up heads up with a massive chip lead. The money went in preflop with A5 vs my AJ, and that was that.

Back to back titles for the first time since the first games (2 months ago) feels good. The game is definitely a hit. The attendance has gotten better every time, and the vibe from everyone is that they love it and would do it more often if they could, so I might have to move the game to weekly, or twice every three weeks, or something to that effect.


In my mega-tilt of online play the last 3 days, I've been reluctant to do the 10$ KO recap. So I hope you guys can forgive me for just doing a brief final table recap.

So when we got to the final table, I was among the chip leaders. Chips looked like this:
Seat 1: Mike Litt (57,388)
Seat 2: FiveTenPlayer (21,570)
Seat 3: brspuppy (35,433)
Seat 4: boozinbill (47,110)

Seat 7: allyrchips (21,857)
Seat 8: Jason9 (10,968)
Seat 9: LeCharognard (8,705)

The first big hand for me came about 6 hands in, when I got dealt 8dTd OTB. And I get a gift from a limper with AK.

Seat 9: LeCharognard (12,210)

Pretty good position.

A few hands later I get TT OTB and the CO shoves 15K into me behind a HJ limp. I reshove and flop top set and move up to 120K

Then I get frisky with 87 in late position and have to call when a shorty in the SB shoves for twice my raise. His AK holds up and I'm back down to 100K.

Then I shove QT in the SB into short BB's AT and I don't suck out. 75K

I squeeze in the BB a bit later with A5 and get one caller, but a cbet takes it down vs the SB. 95K

JQ loses a big pot when I raise UTG and end up vs BB on an Ace high flop. I cbet the flop, he calls. We check the turn, he bets the river and I let it go. It's possibly he was on a flush draw and missed (two spades on flop), but I doubt he hasn't paired. 62K

In the SB, I shove A9 into BB's A7. Good for a double up. 92K

What a frickin' rollercoaster. End up all in with 99 vs JJ (something that seems to be happening a lot to me lately) and I don't improve. Crippled at 28K (6BB). But since these things are turbos, the chip leader only has ~24BB.

For the 3rd time, I shove 8T from the SB into BB's QJ. I flop a ten, and he rivers a jack, but the jack completes my straight. Back up to 71K. If I wasn't so young I would probably have suffered at least 3 heart attacks by now.

I polish off the guy I just sucked out on with A3 vs his 9T. 86K

We're now 3 handed, and the chips look like this
Seat 2: FiveTenPlayer (59,274)
Seat 3: brspuppy (124,922)
Seat 5: CheckinMyAA (85,804)

At this point, brspuppy went into psycho aggro mode and pretty much open shoved every hand. FiveTen saw his tournament end when he got in with the best hand, 99 vs J9, but a J on the flop meant me and puppy were heads up. It lasted 3 hands.

Heads up chips:
Me: 114,354
Him: 155,646

The 2nd hand of heads up, I flop another shitty top pair and go to the house with it:

So it took getting lucky a few times, and ending up heads up with the easiest player I could have hoped for. Getting lucky is something I could use more of this week (you hear that, poker gods?)


I also played a 60$ live tournament at one of the local casinos. The blinds went up reeeally fast, and I couldn't get much going. I ended up getting cripped with about 50 players left when 88 < KQs. I was all in the next hand with J6 and two players called, and the chip leader at the table showed a T with the board showing AKJ5Q and that was all she wrote. It was fun, but I don't think I'll do it again. It was faster than a pokerstars turbo, which is already too fast for me. Maybe I'll try to find a live tournament with slower blinds...

That's all for now! Thanks for reading.

Good night...

Off to a good start:

Midnight madness: AA loses to T9 on a KJT flop. Runner boat.
3$ KO: Flop nut straight with J8 vs KK and QJ on a T97 board. Even though he only has 5 outs, he finds a 8 on the turn
10$ SNG (45 player): Raise otb with K9s. Villain who has raised 3 of the first 6 hands 3 bets and I shove. Maybe a bit sketchy, but normally when I see people doing this, its with garbage. He has QQ and I dont improve.
17K Guarentee: KK (one spade) in a raised pot, I bet a Q-rag-rag board with 2 spades, get minraised, and shove. Called by 7s9s for the naked FD and he connects on the turn, I miss the river.

All these hands are within the first 10 minutes of their respective tourneys.

What.

The.

Fuck.

EDIT: And it kept on going. I finally laid a beat of my own, but I also had TT < AQ, a royal flush draw blanked vs a pair, and I missed every FD / OESD I chased. I'm tilting a bit looking at my roll right now (Have pissed away over 1/2 my winnings from the 10$ KO tourny in the last two nights).

Roll: $699 :(

Blech. I can be such a donkey.

Roll: $763 + $26x1 = $789 (It was $845 this morning .. *sad face*)

I started off the day running badly but playing well, and finished the day playing piss poor and still running bad.

I jumped out to an early chiplead in a 10$ KO tourney with ~600 entrants. Then things started to slow down, but I stayed in the top 20 in chips. Then I lost a massive race with ... you guessed it, the dreaded ladies vs AK. K on the turn was good. So instead of vaulting back into a dominant chiplead (villain had almost the same amout of chips as me), I'm crippled and donk out a few hands later.

QQ also lost another huge pot in another tourney when I couldn't fend off JT's 5 outs when we got the money in on a jack high flop.

I finished the day making a couple donktacular moves. In an 8$x18 Token SNG, I decided (when I had the #3 chipstack) that it would be fun to call all in vs the chipleader when I raised KQ in MP and he called in LP. The Q high flop saw us get it in, and AQ railed me, when I probably could have easily coasted to a token. Dumb stuff.

Twice I overplayed 99. Once I don't think it was that bad. CO opened for 3x, I shoved my 13bb stack and he beat me into the pot with JJ. Pretty standard there, I think. The second overplaying was totally avoidable. An EP tightwad makes it 3x. He's running about 12/8, and the last time he opened in EP (for the same raise), he ended up running over someone with KK. So I decide to shove my 15BB stack into him from the CO, it folds to him and he snaps it off with - again - JJ.

Another day of losing a lot of races and running a lot of pairs into bigger pairs. Some of it was my fault. Some of it wasn't.

I leave you with one of the only times I've attempted a slow play in the last few days. You have to figure that most of the hands calling my raise haven't connected with this flop, and holy HELL do ya gotta like it if you're me. I'm still angry at myself for not betting the flop.

Yuck.

I did win a couple 26$ tokens. I just finished donking one off in the 17K. Ugh did I play that thing badly. Would have helped to get more than 3 premium hands over 2 hours.

I still plan to recap the 10$ KO win. I'll do that soon.

Thanks for readin'!

BOOM!

So instead of getting to the final 15 with a shortish stack, I arrived in the final 20 with the chiplead and stayed there (or very close to it) until the final table when all hell broke loose since the blinds were so massive. This was a gift from the guy who finished 2nd... I'll detail this tomorrow.

After running so bad to start the week, this feels gooooot!

Oh, and about 7 KO's.

Thanks for readin'!
