blonde poker forum

As I am trying to become a BRM nit, I thought I would get this out of the way now just incase I make a fool of myself in tomorrow’s GP and lose all credibility…

It’s likely that not many people will know me, my name is David Milligan, I have been a long time stalker on Blonde, but didn’t really start posting until the end of last year when I started to get to know more members etc.

I have gone from working shifts serving in the RAF to having a cushti office job, which means I can troll the tinters and post all day as well as having every weekend off to play pokes. Which is nice! With this in mind I am looking to up my volume into more decent-ish live events, starting with Saturday of the DTD June Deepstack. Have played these a couple of times along with a UKIPT and feel more than comfortable at the tables, in recent times I have been close to the money and found myself donking off stacks trying to exploit the bubble  or just making unnecessary moves. These are two things I have worked on and am close to eradicating from my game. I am hoping being staked would make me focus more and stop me from blowing up.

Live: I have always done well in the lower stakes MTTs (£50-£100) and often go deep with a decent amount of top 3 finishes. Sadly the majority of which were not flagged events. However I have picked up a couple of mini flags along the way:  http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=125574 (http://pokerdb.thehendonmob.com/player.php?a=r&n=125574)
(Although I have played at Luton a few times I don’t actually think that Leg 6 flag on there is me.)

Online: I primarily play low-mid stakes MTTs. Used to play on stars but recently moved over to DTD which is pretty much the only place I play now, unless I have enough time to play the bigger comps elsewhere.

I plan to play regardless and am looking to sell 40% with no mark up.

1% = £3.36, 5% =£16.80 and 10% = £33.60

Flame away.

After a bit of a rollercoaster start went down to 7k and ground back upto avg. Then this.

It is going to be a bit of struggle to explain my Exit hand as there was a fair bit of history and attributing factors. But here goes:

100/200 25, UTG playing 25k makes it 525 (very standard for this guy, has raised 3 out of last 4 UTG, obv the new button..)  UTG +2  makes it 1525 playing roughly 24k (this is also pretty standard for this guy, has been pretty aggro and punishing standard opens and all limps..)

in next pos i look down at  Ahrt Kc playing 16k, my immediate thought is to 4 bet as i genuinely feel neither of them are that strong, however.. a few hands previous i had 3 bet the UTG+2 guy, he had let it go and said he was on the verge of jamming, i 100% thought if i had 4 bet here, he would snap jam it in my eye and i wasn't prepared to call it off with AK pre, I take what is probs the worst line looking back and decide to flat. (i don't think anyone at the table would ever put me on AK flatting here and i also think my cold call could look uber strong) anyways it is folded round to utg who makes it up. the flop comes  Aspades Td 5s, utg bets 1/3 pot, next pos calls, I feel like it is a standard C bet/call, I 3x the initial raise, UTG snap jams and next pos folds.. This is where the history really kicks in (UTG had been super super aggro and jammed 2 flops previous when someone had raised his C bet, also he witnessed me make a big fold in a previous hand which made me feel like he thinks he can just run over me and i will buckle) I dwell for a while and come to the conclusion that he would do the exact same with any flush draw esp Qs Ks etc/any ace. I obv call and he flips 55 for bottom set. MBN. i pick up outs with a Qs turn but he fades.

I am disgusted at myself for going out with TPTK in lvl 4.

Sincere apologies and I can guarantee there wont be many ppl out there annoyed at themselves as much as I am right now. having written it down I wish i had just folded/4 bet and didn't think into hands so much.

Jam pre?

Just 4 bet get it in

Yea, on reflection i should just 4 bet and snap him off, the fact i had 3 bet him previous and he said he would jam actually works in my favour. Was deep in self loathing last night, over thought the situation far too much.
