Monkey Staking II

[GreekStein]

not getting 5-2 odds, hoping to be 55-45 underdog at best and more often than not 3-1 dog or worse - only thing in favour is chip stack though making calls like this and one with A8 stack probably wont last that long

mate the KQ hand is standard, he is never folding there.

[matt674]

i said he's never folding, i like people who think K high is the nuts

Villian shouldn't have 3bet the kq in the first place imo, Matt's opening range utg means that he is rarely getting it in good and Matt is probably not folding many hands he opens here.

Once he 3bet yeah pretty standard.

well mixed day so far played a few tourneys and one satellite to the warm up.......

Didn't last too long in first $10 played and in the 2nd was down to about 5 tables when my KJ was no match for 73 on a JJ3 board in the battle of the blinds

then in the $20 freezeout what i hoped was a perfect flop turned out to be the exact opposite

http://www.pokerhand.org/?4775546

best bet is he actually requested time on the river before calling - slowrolling ftw!!

The up side is that currently 5th of 14 with 11 seats up for grabs in the warm up so can easily fold way to $215

[matt674]

ok, seat won - if still around at 6pm then lets see if we can end this challenge in less than 2 days

should have taken the $T - i forget people on stars can't lay down pairs

back to the 180's, think i'm just going to play one each of the $10 & $20 and call it a night

[matt674]

its not going to be my night, was going to reraise on flop but then thought that initial raiser might shove - saying that at least this way i managed to keep some chips

lol, first hand back in $20 and run A10h into 10-10, where are those 10 ace decks when you need them?

[matt674]

sigh, chip leader has been constantly reraising and setting people all in with any 2 - just my luck when i try to get it heads up against short stack he changes tact and i hit top pair

well stars is now ****ing me over big time - first i get moved tables, it comes up that i am disconnected and it times me out before i get chance to act - all this while i flop a set at my other table and i continue to play no problem.

it wont let me sit in and play continues around me as i am sat out - i reboot stars and now it wont even let me log in

[Ironside]

wont let me log in either
