3rd hand of the tournament.

30k in chips, 2 hour clock. etc etc

Read on the table is tough, Phil Galfond is there, so is Twin Caracas and Ed Moncada. Certainly wishing you have drawm a different table.

On this hand UTG limps for 100, UTG+1 also limps.

You get dealt KK UTG+3 and raise to 450.

All pass to UTG who now makes it 6000.

You have no reads on him.

WTF do I do?

meh fold i guess.

fold and inwardly smile about the fact that even on a tough table we still have some terrible opponents

+1

Ship it in, hope for the best then head off to the Venetian for a $300 deepstack if it all goes wrong.

i think this is a fold too

its nice to know you have position on the guy where all your chips are coming from later in the day

Good one. Could the raise to 6K have been accidenltal (5K instead of 500) ?  seems a very excessive raise amount to me. I know you said no reads, but, i would attempt to have a lengthy chat with him, see if he starts to glow. I guess you have to go with your gut feeling here. Fold if you think your behind. Get them in if you think you're ahead. He might be daft enough to go all the way with an inferior hand having already raised to 6K.
 Not that i know anything about these scenarios. Either way, i hope you enjoyed the adrenalin rush at the time. :) GL in Edinburgh too.

shove and hope he folds Aces because he doesnt wanna go out with 400bbs with 1 pair?

I fold and hope he sticks around

right click on his forehead and make a note.

insta fold

What did you do?

Throw the kings in his face


But in reality doubt I will fold kings just not good enough

simple fold. painful, but simple.

Well it depends what tourney it is

What part of the thread title leaves you in any doubt?

rotflmfao


Ho ftw

I know its the wsop I was just saying  for me to fold kings pre in a tourney

I doubt I would fold kings pre in a 50 freezeout

what if your oppo turned over AA

would you just be like sigh im not good enough, GEEEEEEEEEET THEREEEEEEEEEEEE

Punch him in the face obv

Jam and beat AK

lol

limp pre and wait for the internet kid on the button to raise because he thinks your a old fish? (sorry for the old comment)

Heh, it was me making it 6k to play after limping UTG.

I devised the plan in the shower the morning I played.

I decided to lookvery nervous (fumbling with my chips etc) and say not a word to anyone and not play a hand unless I was dealt a big pocket pair (which I would play as per usual) or AA which I would play in the weird way I described in the OP.

I figured a weak player would probably fold a big hand here, but a strong player might well fall for it and ship with KK or maybe even QQ. Interesting to see Flushy and Trigger were the only players who gave the answer ship.

The raiser in question very nearly shipped. He tanked for over 5 minutes and alot of the time looked like shipping but eventually open folded KK. Sigh.

Maybe I cost myself 5k in action on all streets, but I think it was way less than 6-1 he shipped.

I wouldn't have tried this in any event apart from the WSOP main event.

Good thread though!

mbn to know your gonna get AA utg on day one

nice work keith

this!!!

I gave myself 45 minutes, maybe an hour to try out the plan.

The time wouldn't be wasted, watching opponents, trying to figure tendencies etc.

It wasn't just UTG I was going to do it, I was going to limp/rr from anywhere or just open rr big.

possibly my fave ever thread as you've just stacked flushy and trigg on level 1 of the ME while everyone else saw straight through your play

rotflmfao

I think the open raise rr big might have got you your jam moreso than the limp

Why make it 6k pre? Literally the only hand you're getting action from is KK and even then the guy might find a fold.

Yeah, it probably was too much. 3.5k would have been better.

Don't agree with this.

I think 4150 would be optimal. The 50 is vital cus it makes you look like a tool.

Also for maximum idiot effect use as many small denomination chips as possible taking forever to count them out and then splashing them on to the table giving the dealer lot's of unnecessary work to do.

You really need to maximise your idiot EV if you want to get this move through.

have u fk stacked us, we bink the cowboy

And absolutely bang them onto the table.

then maybe act as though you're not happy with the amount and start throwing more chips into the middle one at a time

There' the difference, Flushy would bink, but you wouldn't imo.

Should have raided the official WSOP shop beforehand, so you are now head to toe in official WSOP attire. Possibly rounded off with a ridic hat, that you hope might get on the opening credits of ESPN's coverage.

that reminds me longy, this is the hand we discussed on friday night and I believe that you're now sitting in the bar with flushy and trigg having been stacked

Should have got a white cap and got celeb poker players like Flushy, Channing and Devilfish to sign it.

keith has a few redic caps ive seen on occasion

so...

In the only tournament where anyone half decent would fold KK preflop (ok, not quite true) you got dealt AA, had already pre-decided to play it the way an uber-awful player would play it, acted like a uber-awful player at the same time to make it look more like AA, and got your opponent to open fold KK, taking the minimum possible.

I really respect your game keith, but not sure I understand the reasoning behind this one. Surely to anyone without any pre-knowledge of your game it is a relatively simple sigh-fold everytime?

Do this, it'd be amazing.  ;tightend;


And yeah as Numpty says surely this would be a better pre planned bluff than a good way to play AA?!

I think a fair percentage of terribad players play a huge range of hands badly in the wsop. I've seen players stack in level 1 with TT pre, go totally crazy with AK, putting six or seven bets in. I've seen plenty go broke with aces after the flop when there is peanuts in the pot. Really I've seen totally ridiculous things like you would never believe.

In this specific case, if I make it, say, 1300 to play, I probably get one caller, maybe two (as it turns out definitely 2, the other limper had TT).

So, I'm playing AA OOP against two unknowns (well, unknown except the first limper is a member of Team Pokerstars online and can presumably play to a high level). This does not seem a particularly nice spot. If everything goes perfectly I might make 6k in this pot.

So, instead, I decide to make a wacky play, which could, just maybe, get someone to stack off. I figure at least 25% of players would stack off with KK there. And some would with QQ too.

I told this hand over dinner in Edinburgh, and again 2 from 7 would have stacked off.

I don't know if it's a good play, but I certainly don't think it's terrible.

i think the main flaw in the plan was not recognising his worldwide status as the mfkin camel

mfkin Camel!

It can't be terrible putting tonnes in pre with Aces tis better than open folding!

Would a better play not be a big chip/small chip style raise where instead of 3x100 it's 1x100 2x1000 ?  ;angel;

LOLZ.

I was playing in the $10k heads up at the WSOP.

My opponent in the first round was Tom "KingofCards" Marchese.

There were 256 games in the first round and we were one of the last three still going on after nearly 3 hours.

Someone walked past the table and said "C'mon Camel, finish him off"

he looked a bit shocked and asked, "Are you the Camel on Pokerstars?"

I shrugged and said "Yeah"

He looked at his mate who was railing him and said "how fcking bad do I run? I think I've drawn some random old guy and actually I am playing the fcking Camel".

He won of course.

Pretty massive compliment. Marchese is abs sick

sick brag.
 
 ;popcorn;

He used to play HU SNG's. My record against him was really good. That was before he was famous.

My record against gboro is even better!

My sickest brag was definitely at last years WSOPE.

Teddy Sheringham came up to me and asked "Are you The Camel?"

I nodded and he said "pleased to meet you, my name is Teddy"

As if any bloke of my age didn't know who he was!!!

rotflmfao


That's awesome!!!

Yeah it is strange that I didn't want to fold kk, 12 hours into a drinking sesh. I tend to loosen up a bit after a few!

Just posting so I can tell people I posted on the same thread as The Mfkin Camel.

I don't understand why you would want to play your AA any differently in the main event than you would in any other tournament. People preflop stacking off ranges are obv tighter so that should make you less inclined to play the AA super fast because people are considering folding KK pre to 4bets.

I'd be pretty soulcrushed to get dealt AA vs KK vs TT in the main and win like....6bbs

hmmmmm, surely flat and check jam any non-k flop is gonna make more? i know its the main and survival is much more important but this just seems mental. also kingofcards is one of the best nl players on the planet, pretty huge compliment.
