I'm calling. Let's see a flop. No ace Im betting 5200.

do you get shoved on much when you play?

I will now, I hope!!

U want people shoving on you when you have king high?

What makes you ever think that oppo is 3 betting and then checking the flop?

This lad whos playing Nadal is v good

One of the up n coming youngsters coming out of the French Academy.  Lost in final here last year in the juniors comp and also was looking good for a big run at the American before he got injured.

GTFO Safina!!

Lost to a 39 yr old lmao

Pls dont ever flat call in this spot, its simply horrid.

If you think he is doing this incred wide then shove, how light do you think he would call your 4 bet jam?

YEah sorry been a busy boy with the French Open, Darts cancelations, Cricket and other stuff.

Inter won us £808.44
Blackpool won us £1232.82

hand 2, jam

pre or on the flop?

pre sorry. against most ppl in a gukpt field its a fold. but tobys gonna be light here a very big % of the time.

We don't know it's Toby though mate...

Well we know its Toby but not Toby mcfkin Lewis

hand 2, jam

pre or on the flop?

Thort is was level 2? (blinds 50/100)? appologies if im wrong 

No, were 2 levels in, i.e. were just starting the 3rd level so blinds at 100/200

Oh I see, misread it. Hmmmm yeh i probably call pre then if I percieved the other players as weak but still dont call the flop bet for previous reasons.

Oh and LOL at your other hand, OBVIOUSLY you just flop the nuts, was gonna post on that hand aswell but everyones beat me to it and dont wanna be a +1er on every thread!

Dont forget having the blockers to the straight flush

cheers all

Was hoping you wouldn't post hand 3 because IMO it's a pretty straightforward call vs Toby!

Hand 1 I don't know much about Blatch but I assume he's ok, and that he realises the limper is a fish and likely to call.  It's a pretty damn big iso size, so I think folding is the line.  Flop was Kxx IIRC, i'd def check back, isn't a great deal to protect from and also it's fairly suspicious why he hasn't cbet a fairly dry board.

Hand 2 I think calling is worst option even tho we IP, hand just doesn't flop very well and gonna have to shut down a ton.  I guess since you didn't know it was Toby at the time i'd just fold pre, but if you know it's him i'd jam

Yeah this all sounds about right. Sigh, if only I could play like you before asking you how I should play .

Blatch - not sure who the guy was tbh, though I have seen him around or whatever, and I didn't hear what he said either lol. I'm observant.

It was Albert Sipiano, plays very similar to Ali Mallu (if you dont know Ali im gonna slap you).

He comes to table with 15 mins of last level of day to go and announces his back his hurting and his chips and going in plenty of times.

[he was pretty bemused when I asked what his surname was]

Hand 1.

Blinds are 500/1000 (100). Hijack who is a new player to the table and we assume a live-player donk open limps. Blatch isolates in the cutoff to 5.1k. We have 88 on the button with a ~70k stack. Blatch has ~45k, limper has ~30k.

Fold, call or 3-bet?

I think calling is a mistake because effective stacks aren't deep enough. I think it's okay to just fold here? Although we know he is capable of isolating here fairly wide, Blatch appears to have been playing good cards up to this point.

Anyway I call (oops). Flop is Q62 rainbow. It checks to us. We bet/check?

(if Blatch reads this, I said I had 99 but I liiiieddddd)


Hand 2.

2nd hand of Day Two (new starting table). 600/1200 (100), we have ~55k. We pick up 77 in the cutoff and open to 2800. The small blind, who we assume is a good young player, 3bets to 7400, with a similar stack, perhaps just having us covered.

Standard to just call here 3 bet a decent option?

Flop comes down Q35 rainbow. Villain leads for ~8.5k.

We call.

River brings the J. Villain dwells and moves all in. I obv fold, don't see a way around this, though I couldn't help thinking he might have KT.


Hand 3.

The same villain as in hand 2. We now realise villain is Toby Lewis. We've made a complete fool of ourselves by not recognising him, despite people calling him Toby, because we have never seen him without a cap before and he looks different (he was pretty bemused when I asked what his surname was, considering we've talked numerous times in the past lol).

We have ~50k at 800/1600 (200) and make it 3800 in the cutoff with AQs. The small blind flat calls playing a ~30k stack, we put him on a marginal hand having watched him make a similar call with 55 when he had way too short a stack to go set-mining.

Toby has a very similar stack and moves all-in from the big-blind. After playing tight since Hand #2, I've been pretty active in the last two rounds.

I feel like our hand plays well against Toby's squeeze shove range, but having only committed 3.8k to the hand, and with Toby's shove being for about 5x the pot, it feels like quite a big call to make with AQs. On the other hand, average stack is ~75k. I felt there was a good chance we're flipping at worst, and was only really sweating AK.

Best Rub ive ever heard

You may want to tell them who it is that limped and also his chat when he sat down and the fact its last level of the day

Fold pre, fold the flop, raise bigger on the turn, say ~2850, bet 63% of the pot on river.

+1

Dont usually use the old +1 option but this is a good time for it.

If for some reason i do find myself in a hand oop with 67os, calling what in level 2 would be a 6x raise, surely this is a pretty terrible flop to over peel.

Hitting 2 pair is never gonna flood you with confidence, especially if it comes a red. Also the benefit of playing connector sort of hands are that if you get a flop around your hand such as  3 5 6 there are lots of cards to come which make it easy for you to turn your hand into a bruffffff. All the cards that connect this board on the turn and river probably fill opponents hands or make them 'unfoldable' 2 pair combos or broadway, sets etc.

Anyway, as played, its a deffo value bet if check to you in position, but seeing as your big blind...... still value bet as i think most/ all better hands protect on the turn, but saying that i prob try to give tickets to value town out too thinly.

Where do u get 6x from?

I would never flat a 6x raise here in the spot.

Its 600 to call and I have 200 out there already.

Worth trading on England Friendlies?

DEFFO!!!!

Just not when the team news is uncertain, will see what happens later
