blonde poker forum

Hi guys,

I'll be playing day 1b of the £100k guaranteed deepstack this friday, and will fire up to 2 bullets. If the 2nd bullet isn't needed then refunds will be dished out. Also if I'm lucky enough to bink a ukipt seat then any % will be carried forward.

Why should you invest? I focus on MTT's and, whilst I'm not claiming to be an extraordinary player, I am a profitable live player. There is a lot of value this weekend with a lot of players coming through the freerolls and other satellites on partypoker. I believe my game has improved over the past 12 months, and approach the game with a more mature attitude now. Plus it's only a few quid for some of you ballers, so back me as your lanky, big eared pony this weekend.



I'm selling up to 40% with 20% already sold to previous investors, so 20% left @ 1.00, so 20% = £120   10%= £60    2.5%= £15

Here's a link to my hendonmob, missing a few results totalling another 2k ish for some unknown reason.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

George

Glgl

I knew I shouldn't have posted this as I was drifting off to sleep. Can't seem to edit the main post so as of now 10%= £66 etc.

Thanks for pointing out the mistake, a great way to start a staking thread  ;shame;


Booked your 5 ball, I'll PM you now.

Another 2.5% gone.

12.5% left of this pony

Sent now George

Ty Ty! I'll keep my phone at the ready for some beautiful bad best stories inflicted on my opponents.

just start floating check raises with J high no draw, youll be chip leader in no time ;)

That's just standard, abc poker. I'm looking to cold call a 5 bet in the small blind pre flop with 9 3 off. That's the sort of play that separates the men from the boys.

Are you playing the deepstack?

i shall be punting tomorrow at 3pm i think.

Hopefully see you sunday then!

Ps: Your hendonmob is outrageous.

SOLD OUT


Rest has been taken.

An excellent start to day 1 sees me stuck in traffic just on the outskirts of Nottingham. Should be there before level 2 begins.

Just folded what ended up being quads. Solid

On the first break now after 3 levels and it's been a nice start. First 2 and a half levels were standard, gaining a few chips. A couple of key hands which went my way:

I raise in mid position with 8 10 of clubs to 1200 @ 200/400/50, the blinds calls.

Flop: 25K two clubs. Bet 2500, small blind calls and the big folds.

Turn: 5x. Bet 4000, called by the sb.

River: 9 of clubs. Bet 7500 for value and called. Up to about 72k.


A few hands later early position raised to 1200,  2 callers infront of me so I call late position with J10, and 1 caller behind.

Flop: 998 rainbow. Early position bets 2500, all fold, I peel.

Turn: 10. Check check.

River: Ace. Check check. My 10 beats his 8.


Up to 80k through 3 levels

Frustrating few levels, on about 65k on the 2nd break, going into 600/1200/200. Been fairly card dead but I'll post a few hands:

400/800/100

There was a raise mid position to 2000 call, flat K10 off.

Flop: 10 10 3. Raiser bets 2k, another player calls, I call.
Turn: 4. Check check check
River: 7. Initial raiser bets 3, raised to 7 by other player, I re raise to 16k and there's 1 caller, I take.


Hand 2:

Utg I find KQ clubs and raise to 2100. 2 callers. Flop 10 9 2, 2 spades 1 club. Bet 3700. Sb shoves for 4k more. Call and shows 10 8. Holds.

Hand 3: not keen on how I played this, any comments appreciated:

500/1k/100.

Utg raises to 2500, 2 callers. I find 10s in the big. Just call.

Flop: 356ddx checks round.
Turn: 2x. I Lead for 5k, button calls.

River 5. I bet 7, button raises to 17. Sigh call, he flips quads.


Was up to 100k at one point, sitting just below average now.

The re entry period has ended so if I don't make day 2 I'll either play tomorrow or the turbo on Sunday.

600/1200/200

Utg+1 10 7 of spades, raise to 2700. 2 callers.

Flop: 10 6 5, two spades. Bet 3600, both call.
Turn: 2x. Bet 10k, 1caller (who has around 20k behind.

River: 7x.
 I shove. He tank folds, says he had A10.

Up to 105k.

800/1600/200

Button raises to 3700, find 44 and peel.

Flop: Q62 rainbow. Check check.
Turn: 3. I check call for 5600
River: 4. I bet 8500. Folds.


KQ of clubs under the gun, raise 3800. Utg+1 shoves for 25k. Call. Shows 55 and he holds.

Back down to 80k

Getting myself in a few positions to chip up but it's not happening.

Had a bit of a battle with the guy 2 seats to my left.

First hand: I open utg with KK to 3800, he 3 bets to about 8000, i 4 bet to 20k. He flats. I'm sat with about 65k behind, he has about 80k.

Flop: Q 9 3.

Given the stack sizes I'm finding it difficult to make a decision, so jam.

He tanks, folds 10s. He keeps saying he wishes he'd have called after thinking about it longer. Again, any advice is welcome here.

Next hand. I'm on the button with A10 of spades, make it 3800. He ipen shoves for 90k. Says he had a pair and didn't want to let me shove on him again. Hmmmm.

Moved from table 1 seat 1 to table 15 seat 2.

Really enjoyed playing against the guys in seats 2&3, one of them who won the ukipt nottingham last year.

Still on level 9 and a great hand for me.

Utg limps for 2k, mid position makes it 7200, look down at Aces for the first time tonight. Make it 16k. He calls.

Flop: KJJ 2 clubs. I bet 25k, he tanks. A bit of playing with his chips, didn't put him on a J or KK from my read. Shoved for 100k. I call. He has AQ clubs for the royal draw. Jack on the turn makes him dead.

Next few hands: have 77 twice in a row and lose twice. Then find AJ in a 3 way pot. Thevturn brings 4 to a straight and I don't put him on it so raise him. He folds an overpair to the board.

On about 250k heading into the final break. Average about half that. Blinds will be 1200/2400/300 when back

Solid!

Lost a 50k pot 99 vs QQ.

Got about half of it back next hand with 4 clubs on board and i have the king of clubs. Won another couple of small pots.

About 275k @ 1500/3000/400.

2 levels left

Lost a biggie on a busted flush. About 210k

Going into the last level in a couple of mins.

Running pretty bad right now

The last 2 levels were simply awful, missing flops, having dominated hands spiking their card etc.

About 5 mins towards the end of play I min raise the cut off with A5 diamonds to 8k, big blind shoves. I thought he had around 100k, was later told he had 60k (2am problems, tiredness wasn't helping) but i passed. The guy was actually shoving pretty much any 2 for the last few hands. Probably should be a call or fold pre.

Despite the shitty last hour or so I'll be coming back for day 2 with 158,000, returning at 3000/6000/500, and was just below the average for the day (175k ish).

I'll sort out refunds for the unused 2nd bullet following Sunday's play.

Chunks mate

Glgl Sunday and you can sort the refunds from our shares of £26k ;)

Cheers Eso! Yeah still nice to be bringing a few chips back, I suppose I was just being bitter at what could have been, but that's a terrible mindset to have. Let's run good Sunday!

River seeems close between c-call, c-fold and bet-fold, i don't think i'd c-fold unless it's vs someone who just wont bluff or value bet thinish.... but I dont think many/anyone will be raising river in this spot to that size as a bluff.


Seems like a fold vs most people in the deepstack readless, pretty surprised anyone would be shoving 15bb utg1 vs utg with 55 tbh, but i'm assuming you had reads... if he's shoving 55 then KQs is doing pretty well vs his range.


Not sure why you'd shove flop on Q93, such a good flop to bet-call... you get people shoving a load of pairs, any Qx, JT, KJ... all of that stuff, jamming just makes his fold all the stuff you get it in great against. Sure he'll call with AQ, KQ JQs, maybe JJ/TT, but nowhere near as wide as when you bet-call.


Nothing major, looks like a solid days work. Gl tomorrow.

Thanks for the input.

With the 2nd hand I was getting about 1.5/1 on the call, 21.2k more to call into a pot with 33k already in the middle, with KQsuited, and the guy wasnt a complete nit, was getting involved in a lot of hands and so I thought it was a fairly standard call, but maybe should be folding.


And with the 3rd hand you highlighted it was the stack sizes that really put me into a weird thought process, and the fact he just flatted the 4bet. I thought betting 20k again perhaps looks too fishy, and perhaps tank jamming 65k into a pot of 45-50k ish could get some calls from hands like jacks + 10s. But like I said I wasn't happy with the situation and was happy to take the pot.

Thanks again, time to spin it up tomorrow!

Yeah vs the guy you described it's pretty standard, but there are a decent number of deepstack players who will be shoving super tight in that spot, just got to judge for youself, sounds like you got it right with the KQs.

Think your thought process is somewhat flawed in the KK hand, sure it's a big pot and it's good to win big pots, but if the guy has QQ/99/33 you're going to lose whatever happens. The SPR is so low and the board is pretty dry, it's not like your hand needs to protect it's equity. You just want to make sure the villain gets it in as wide as possible. It's lovely winning the 20k he's put in already, but missing out on the 65k he's got left by making him fold 9x, gutshots, JT, random pocket pairs that might spaz-jam... is a really bad thing. It's amazing how many gifts you'll get in a deepstack, so it's somewhat criminal to not give them the opportunity. Bet 13-17k and call it off or jam turn if called. The number of times you'll see someone jam 44 in that spot and be like 'i thought you had AK' never ceases to amaze me.

But how many of these hands are realistically in his 4 bet calling range pre? The guy was definitely too solid to have AQ/AJ/J10, smaller pairs and I'd say probably 9's. Yeah i agree, definitely missed out on max value, it's one of those spots i've not played often and my play reflects that.

Win a few lost a few, maintaining the same stack for the first few levels.

At 4000/8000 lost most on a queen high board with KQss vs AQ.
 
Down to fumes. Quadruple up needed

A huge double up to 11 big blinds, A5> Q9ss on K103JQ

On a break now, going back to 5000/10000/1000 with about 92k. Got a few shoves through, still looking for that double/treble up

Doubled to about 170k. J10> AQ.

Next hand found aces, I 3 bet and original raiser folded. Lost 2 small pots with A10dd and QJdd to stay about 170k, about half average at 5k/10k/1k

GG.

In the big blind with A8dd, mid position raises to 24k, I peel.

Flop: Q87. Check check.
Turn: 9. He bets 25k. Call.
River J. I shove for about 100k, he snaps me off with A10. Sigh.

I'll sort out refunds when I get back
