Title: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: MC on May 24, 2010, 06:32:14 PM Hand 1.
Blinds are 500/1000 (100). Hijack who is a new player to the table and we assume a live-player donk open limps. Blatch isolates in the cutoff to 5.1k. We have 88 on the button with a ~70k stack. Blatch has ~45k, limper has ~30k. Fold, call or 3-bet? I think calling is a mistake because effective stacks aren't deep enough. I think it's okay to just fold here? Although we know he is capable of isolating here fairly wide, Blatch appears to have been playing good cards up to this point. Anyway I call (oops). So does limper. Flop is K62 rainbow. It checks to us. We bet/check? (if Blatch reads this, I said I had 99 but I liiiieddddd) Hand 2. 2nd hand of Day Two (new starting table). 600/1200 (100), we have ~55k. We pick up 77 in the cutoff and open to 2800. The small blind, who we assume is a good young player, 3bets to 7400, with a similar stack, perhaps just having us covered. Standard to just call here 3 bet a decent option? Flop comes down Q35 rainbow. Villain leads for ~8.5k. We call. River brings the J. Villain dwells and moves all in. I obv fold, don't see a way around this, though I couldn't help thinking he might have KT. Hand 3. The same villain as in hand 2. We now realise villain is Toby Lewis. We've made a complete fool of ourselves by not recognising him, despite people calling him Toby, because we have never seen him without a cap before and he looks different (he was pretty bemused when I asked what his surname was, considering we've talked numerous times in the past lol). We have ~50k at 800/1600 (200) and make it 3800 in the cutoff with AQs. The small blind flat calls playing a ~30k stack, we put him on a marginal hand having watched him make a similar call with 55 when he had way too short a stack to go set-mining. Toby has a very similar stack to us and moves all-in from the big-blind. After playing tight since Hand #2, I've been pretty active in the last two rounds. I feel like our hand plays well against Toby's squeeze shove range, but having only committed 3.8k to the hand, and with Toby's shove being for about 5x the pot, it feels like quite a big call to make with AQs. On the other hand, average stack is ~75k. I felt there was a good chance we're flipping at worst, and was only really sweating AK.

You may want to tell them who it is that limped and also his chat when he sat down and the fact its last level of the day Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: Rupert on May 24, 2010, 06:38:31 PM Was hoping you wouldn't post hand 3 because IMO it's a pretty straightforward call vs Toby!
Hand 1 I don't know much about Blatch but I assume he's ok, and that he realises the limper is a fish and likely to call. It's a pretty damn big iso size, so I think folding is the line. Flop was Kxx IIRC, i'd def check back, isn't a great deal to protect from and also it's fairly suspicious why he hasn't cbet a fairly dry board. Hand 2 I think calling is worst option even tho we IP, hand just doesn't flop very well and gonna have to shut down a ton. I guess since you didn't know it was Toby at the time i'd just fold pre, but if you know it's him i'd jam :D Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: Rupert on May 24, 2010, 06:39:15 PM Oh god yeah the guy who limped was quite clearly doing his best to bust out before the end of the day so Blatch is basically never light there and probs limps behind with medium PPs. Has to be a pretty clear fold pre I think!

Sigh, if only I could play like you before asking you how I should play :). Blatch - not sure who the guy was tbh, though I have seen him around or whatever, and I didn't hear what he said either lol.

It was Albert Sipiano, plays very similar to Ali Mallu (if you dont know Ali im gonna slap you). He comes to table with 15 mins of last level of day to go and announces his back his hurting and his chips and going in plenty of times.

(laughs to self) Yeah obv know him, though would expect him to raise in this kind of spot. Sigh @ me not hearing what Albert said.

We don't know it's Toby though mate...

Hand 2 fold pre. As played fold turn. Hand 3 easiest call ever but assume u was cold decked since the hand is here :( Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: GreekStein on May 24, 2010, 09:41:58 PM hand 1 - fold
hand 2 - fold pre hand 3 - meh. I don't hate either. I know Toby's going to jam wide but can't see him jamming 32+bbs with worse than AQ, though obv some pairs we're flipping with are in his range. We must take into account that Toby is in form and lucky. Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: MANTIS01 on May 24, 2010, 11:44:09 PM Hand 1 - bet 8.8k on the flop. And upgrading your hand from 88 to 99 is a fairly unambitious lie imo.
Hand 2 - Fold Hand 3 - Call after folding hand 2 Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: LeKnave on May 24, 2010, 11:55:41 PM hand 3 - meh. I don't hate either. I know Toby's going to jam wide but can't see him jamming 32+bbs with worse than AQ, though obv some pairs we're flipping with are in his range. i read it as he has a similar stack to the small blind. ~30K @ 800/1600. if he has like 55k i fold.

Yeah sorry for being unclear, he has a similar stack to us, ~55k Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: AlexMartin on May 25, 2010, 08:52:54 PM calling in hand 2 without a plan looks to be the worst play. AQS vs a lewis squeeze when we have 1/2 average chips. dont slowroll the poor guy imo.
hand 1 just fold pre. Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: GreekStein on May 25, 2010, 10:00:19 PM AQS vs a lewis squeeze when we have 1/2 average chips. dont slowroll the poor guy imo. Alex against an MC open (James is tightish) and a call what are you squeezing for over 30bbs? Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: celtic on May 25, 2010, 10:09:30 PM Who is Toby Lewis?
Title: Re: Coventry GUKPT hands Post by: 810ofclubs on May 25, 2010, 11:41:53 PM Flop comes down Q35 rainbow. Villain leads for ~8.5k.
I think the flop was Q33ss i bet 9.3k and you called. Turn was either a 10 or a J non spade. I bet a commiting amount and u quickly folded. This sound right?

As aforementioned, by skills of observance aren't all that great!Turn was def a red Jack, and you def said "I'm all-in" on the turn...

Pretty certain u can shove a very wide range here profitably.
