lol @ the IDEA of folding.

As a bit of closure, i called and he turned over 54 for the bigger house.

Folding when you're beaten is a very strong play, despite the odds you may be getting. In this instance there were so many hands i was beating (nut flush, Nut straight,...etc) it was impossible to lay this hand down

Quick question for you Keith. When holding  against Duthies Aces, it looked like you were going to jump out of your seat when the flop hit you hard with  ! Do you find yourself having to supress your physical tells when you flop a monster? What do you advise doing when trying to supress your emotions?

I am sure if John had been watching your reaction on the flop it may have been easier for him to lay the Aces do your river raise.

I think i make the same play here.

Would be interesting to know what 5th position raiser had to mean he didn't connect with that flop. tight player raising to 5xBB then calling a pot sized raise. AA would have played on, KK is doubtful, JJ would have played on as would 99. TT would have an open ended straight so would probably call the flop bet. AK is a possibility as is AQ.

Any ideas what he laid down?

The other option would be to call the flop and then take it away from the SB when the A hits, but that is in hindsight and i think you played it the way i would have.

Brendan,

I only had the pleasure of playing on your table for 10 hands around 9pm on Day 1 (sorry for raising your BB!).

Congratulations on your finish and more importantly the achievement of walking into the casino. A true gent in poker.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Hand 1 i reraised to 2500 and both the SB and BB passed. Small pot won when i should be maximising hands like this.

Hand 2 i check folded after the MP bet 2500. Suspicious bet i thought seeing as it was giving me 5-1 odds. I could not see that i was ahead after the Turn, and was probably behind all the way.

Thanks so far.......keep them coming!

Will post what happened on Hand 1 and 2 once their have been more replies

[Hand 1]

After finishing a disappointing 114th in the APAT in Cardiff i have now had time to look back at my play and analyse where i think i went wrong.

3 different hands occurred which i think shaped my APAT. Feedback and analysis most welcome.

Hand 1

Blinds 200-400

Position 4

Stack = 9500

I limp in with 

Folded around to the SB who completes and the BB checks. Both SB & BB have similar stacks and SB has not been involved in many pots.

Pot = 1200

Flop = 

SB leads out with a bet of 500.

BB min reraises to 1000.

What do you do?


Hand 2

Blinds 300-600

Position BB

Stack = 10,800

Folded around to player in MP who min raises to 1200. MP player has only played a few pots and has often joined the action for a min raise.

Folded around to me in the BB who makes the call holding 

Pot = 2,700

Flop = 

I check and MP bets 1500

I reraise and make it 4000 to go. MP quickly calls.

Turn = 

What next?


Hand 3

Blinds 600-1200

Position 7

Stack = 8600

I have been moved to this table and only seen 8 hands.

Folded around to seat 6 who has a stack of c.11000. He makes it 3000 to play.

I look down and decide to make a move with  pushing all-in for 8600.

Blinds fold and it is back on seat 6. After a brief dwell he announces 'lets gamble' and flips over 

Right time to push or should i have waited for a better spot? There was 10 mins left on the clock before blinds hit the next level?

It's amazing how one can let things get out of hand.

 Inspired by this thread i have now purged my desktop and been left with:

Will Hill
Stars
Full Tilt
Gutshot
Betfair

Much better!!

Blondes,

I have just recently moved over to Will Hill but am having problems importing my tournament HH into the PT database......any suggestions?

When i try to auto-import it reads the HH from my hard drive but does not import them.

Have only ever used PT for cash games so new to the tournament side of PT.

Thought i would post here for an answer before going to PT

Thanks

  I basically need something to do whilst not playing poker.

How about Ariane B?

Try anything by Hans Zimmer. IMO his best work to date was the soundtrack to Gladiator.

Thank you very much!!

Another year, another wrinkle!

I'm In!

Looking forward to introducing myself to you all in Cardiff
