This really isn't a thing?! Shocked

For multi-tabling turbos I think this would help immensely

Is anyone aware of any on-table, visible blind limit timer? i.e. you can ACTUALLY see how long left until the next level?
4  Poker Forums / Poker Hand Analysis / MP w/AQs vs. 2 EP Limpers. Do I play? on: September 05, 2013, 10:25:36 PM
$0.50 45 MAN TURBO

BB: 2,885 (28.9 bb)
UTG+2: 1,910 (19.1 bb)
MP1: 1,255 (12.6 bb)
MP2: 1,520 (15.2 bb)
Hero (MP3): 1,355 (13.6 bb)
CO: 1,765 (17.7 bb)
BTN: 1,095 (11 bb)
SB: 2,810 (28.1 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 
UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls 100, MP2 calls 100, HERO = Huh?

-->I'm really stuck with what to do in these types of situations. And they seem to happen a lot at this level.

-->I figured I had 4 options:
--->A. CALL
--->B. FOLD
--->C. Raise to 300
--->D. Shove

I opted for B. in the hand. I figured the problems for the other options were:

--->A. Limping into a pot, with a hand where I won't know where I stand if either the A or Q hits with multiple callers. AND showing weakness to Late P players.

--->C. Virtually commits me to a pot with many players behind yet to act, who may come over the top, basically forcing me to call, AND two limpers who may STILL call (it's $0.50 turbo...).

--->D. I think would've been my option had I not folded. However, I saw this as quite a volatile play and thought there would be better spots.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you guys think, and how might I play in similar scenarios in future?

Hero (MP2): t1500 75 BBs
CO: t1490 74.50 BBs
BTN: t1470 73.50 BBs
SB: t1510 75.50 BBs
BB: t1500 75 BBs
UTG: t1500 75 BBs
UTG+1: t1500 75 BBs
UTG+2: t1530 76.50 BBs
MP1: t1500 75 BBs

Pre Flop: (t30) Hero is MP2 with Q of diamonds A of diamonds
2 folds, UTG+2 calls t20, 1 fold, Hero raises to t80, 2 folds, SB calls t70, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls t60

Flop: (t260) 2 of clubs T of diamonds J of hearts (3 players)
SB checks, UTG+2 checks, Hero bets t130, SB raises to t260, UTG+2 folds, Hero calls t130

Turn: (t780) J of clubs (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

River: (t780) 9 of clubs (2 players)
SB bets t360, Hero folds

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I made a raise to thin the field. Get two callers. Can't put the maniacs on hands because at this level people can hold random junk at this point.

Two checks to me and I c-bet. I have two overcards and a gut-shot.

Get MIN-RAISED behind me... I call, because my hand may still be best, and if a Q or A or K comes, I think I'm probably best.

Neither card comes, I'm forced to fold.

Did I play the hand too far?

Love the randomness, I would ask that you keep the updates as randomly unlinkable as possible, we will also need regular muffin updates, probably some photos where he does not look half baked though

Good luck with the diary

Thanks, man. I take on board your advice and request. Although, it is extremely worrying how difficult finding pictures of unbaked muffin is..

Got into work fairly early today. Quite a busy day. Compared the effectiveness of a few cleaning products on steel that had been immersed in vegetable oil.

Also, been talking of an arbitration case for a shipping company who were transporting vegetable oil after their sixth previous cargo was benzene. Despite there being a big time gap between the two cargoes, some benzene had been found in the vegetable oil by the receiver. They weren't happy about this and are suing the ship owner for not carrying out the correct cleaning process. However, the ship owner insists that the correct cleaning process had been followed. So, the question must be "does the recommended cleaning process ACTUALLY work". And so we're investigating that.

I had the chance to take some pictures of the old workplace, thought it might improve the diary a tad and elevate it from utterly boring to just a bit uninteresting.

No, this isn't something off of breaking bad and I cannot provide you with good gear. Although it just so happens I am in that part of town.

Going to be alone here for 3 weeks as the boss is on holiday. I feel the chances of me blowing something up in this time are uncomfortably high.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I returned from work I decided to sit down and play some poker.

Here are my results for the day:

I didn't cash in my first 7 games, but then I got some good results.

Placed 1st in one 27 man and 2nd in a 45 man.

No terribly interesting hands, so I'll leave that out for today. Obviously took some bad beats, gave some bad beats, the usual, it happens. I'll try and give more details next time.

Watched the new episode of Dragon's Den. Then remembered this classic:

Also, this is my dog, he's my good luck charm when playing poker. But DTD won't let him in. He's called Muffin:

Pretty random entries today. My apologies. I'll try and give it better structure in future!

nothing wrong with some good sledging! having played/play cricket at professional level i can tell u it gets nastier and more abusive! just a little more clever than 'ill deck you'!
and im sure your dad doesnt mind you commenting on his mental health Tongue
good luck with it all, will have a follow, not sure how u can grind those 9man sngs, sooooo boring!!

All it was was a little banter. I don't play at a particularly high level, but I expect in the better divisions the players are either better at dealing with it, or replying to it in a way that doesn't cause problems.

When "you've gone for more runs in your first over than your openers did in their whole spell" is reacted to with near violence rather than a smart reply or taking a wicket, it's a bit off.

9 man sngs are beautiful. Okay, they can be quite mechanical and sometimes boring. But they're where I learnt my game and found my feet, I've got to show them some respect!

Welcome to blonde, if you really want to play mtts at your bank roll level I recomend trying the 45 man turbos you nearly have 100 BI at the 3.50 level

games last about 90 mins and if you can fit in 2 hours you can get 4-6 in multi tabling

I was playing them at 7$ level for a cpl of weeks last month till I had to take a break

Thanks for this, I'll give them a go tonight. For some reason I've always avoided turbos and warmed to regular formats, but as I'm tight for time, I guess I have to adapt.

I'll let you know how I get on.
