Rob Yong surely a typo?!

Gl those left in

When he said Raise it sounded genuine- probably a ten second gap before he said only kidding and tried to fold

Just depends on how smashed he was then. Cos he can just go into a daydream for 10 seconds.

Well played and UL Stu.

If it was really clearly a joke and he said it whilst mucking then I think its bad form of player1 to kick up a fuss about it.

Yeh kinda agree with this. If guy is too pissed and just trying to enjoy himself  then it kinda deflects away from the purpose of playing poker - ' to have fun'. Sounds like he is too much of a degenerates to angle to his advantage. Maybe a warning would suffice.

Does nobody soul read fold here on the flop? Not like he has the stack for this bet to be anything but than nuts hands right?

It's difficult to soul read without being sat in your seat...

Think betting the flop is pretty bad. Especially if we eliminate 55 from her range I really don't like it.

As played vs this siZing I think turn is pretty easy fold.really not sure why we'd ever bet this flop though.

Interesting she turns up with A9. Bad read from me. Difficult to advise in PHA on exact correct thing to do in-game as we all have different images. I personally find myself betting into every flop when I have the lead. It just suits the way unfeeling comfortable at the table, I make lots of 1/4 pot bluffs on flop and a flop like this one I may well include a 1/4 pot bet to balance. Especially with stack sizes.

Thanks for the comments.

If we peel and the turn doesnt help us or complete draws, then he jams. What do we do?

So turn is say 

He shoves.

Snappety mcsnapping 90% of turn cards

My bad. Maybe the rig is even more prominent in CE then?

Yeh always peeling here with not much intention of giving up the hand unless oppo turns his cards over and we see that we are beat.

DTD £250

20 minutes from end of live day 1d, we start hand with 180k, villain has 300k, average around 170k.

Villain is Renee Xie, only just to table but an hour previously she’d seen us hero call for tourney life with 4th pair. No other hand history of note.

At 2k/4k with 400 ante, we’re UTG with  and make it 8k.

Renee UTG+1 flats, BB comes in as well.

Flop  .

We cbet 12k, Renee calls, BB folds. Thought checking flop looked too strong/obvious and reckoned she would float really wide. Is that too small or should we check?

Turn  .

We check, thought leading again would fold out her bluffs. Or should we continue again?

She makes it 40k.

What do we do now? And on river when she shoves(likely?)?

Having in our hand makes it more likely she has 777, don't think Renee would flat 55 in such an EP and certainly not A5-A9. Her turn bet is big, so she is probably trying to get value from a hand like ours and be protecting against the backdoor flush rather than v betting weaker aces. I personally bet even smaller on flop, and lead not much more on the turn. River action dependant on the card, but prob betting something in this particular spot.

Explains why pleno moved to Hungary

Lol kokus is a million to ever raise fold. Just keep clicking pot until you manage to get all your chips over the line. No need to trap.

Baby Grand only ever has 6666 here. Run better

I'm gonna give the day 1 of the online deepstack for DTD a shot tonight but if I don't make day 2 then I'll probably do Cardiff. What day you thinking of going? Friday presumably?

Gona drive over this morning and late reg pal.

Thanks Dewi.

I did consider it, but I fancy going somewhere I haven't been before. Also less runners probably! Great tournament though, played the last one.
