The Best In The Business

Pretty interesting hand actually.

whale utg makes it 2300 at 1kbb, whale makes it 6000 straight from co (means strong range), other whale overpeels. I have 66 in BB, expecting UTG to call almost always, 20 minutes left of the day.

I have 25bbs, wug overpeel, flop set, make monies? or just preserve stack?

maybe its not even close and I'm the worst.. wug?

[Eso Kral]

Geeeeeeeelllllll buddy!

[George2Loose]

I'd fold with 25 bigs and preserve

[Doobs]

Don't think the 66 is that close.  Looks a fold to me.  You have to get a full double up from your set to make it worthwhile and you could bleed on a low flop vs an overpair, or find you have folded the best.  Just seems bad when you can probably pick up chips in easier ways in a softish field. Almost inevitable it is AK vs AK when you fold.   Gold and walk away don't look at the flop or their cards, just seems it could easily tilt you whatever happens.

 You are way better at hold em than me now though.

Would fold, don't think it's close tbh. Confirmed you're the worst

You would hate it in Vegas 6 months trust me, there will likely be a point in the next 4 weeks you would pay 10k to snap your fingers and be anywhere else in the world lol

Best bet is to come back end of October for Halloween, Vegas is amazing then and you have 3 weeks cash games till the WPT 5 diamonds starts which is really sick for tourneys and cash games

Glgl

Like this, Halloween in the states in general and defo Vegas is soo much better than anything we do.
If you stay in vegas long term you need people around to keep you from going insane. For me, it's one of the best places in the world when you're winning and one of the nut worst when you're losing.

Good luck with the grind

Yup, salmon, but his feet can almost reach the floor.

He seems to be in good fettle.

The Smallest In The Business

[pleno1]

So busted like 850th ish with 780ish paying today. Lost standard hand qts>a5

Felt very ok, basically just folded and didn't get any marginal spots to take and then standard jams.

Hopped into the turbo and busted first level. Was so weird that everybody was raising to 400 pre flop as their standard open sizings and almost every pot was 3bet. I think I made one bad call that I regret.

Fish limps, I raise to 350 with kqo from 5000, fish behind makes it 850 and then fish in sb cold calls. I think I should just fold here even with a great price, I just have bad reverse implied odds, probably sounds like a standard call but at the time I think I kinda knew it was a fold. Thing is in America these guys are just so unpredictable they 3bet hands like 33 and stuff just for no reason. I was going to make a big post about lots of examples where players are making huge mistakes folding to 3bets. Like in the hand where the guy had 33 I had KThh and this seemingly right guy 3bet me from 1000 to 2300 Im basically just calling very very wide vs these 3bets and playing flops because people's 3vet ranges here are so fucked up.

Another interesting hand.

Day 1 in the millymaker I make it 900 at 400bb, a "reg" makes it 2000 and I have a6s there's like 3.8k in there and it's 1.1 to call.

I call and flop is t62

I check, he gets 250 with 2 yellows and a blue, I match it up and put in an exact min raise leaving 350 chips behind. He tanks and tanks and folds AK. So the pot is like 13k I'm essentially all in for 2.8k and he folds ak here, pretty crazy.

Anyway my bust out in the turbo I wasn't very happy about. I limp bvb and older guy 8x and I fold. Very nice hand I raise button to 150 (by far smallest raise so far on the table) and he 3bets me to 600. I have 3000 total, what's the worst hand you'd jam with here? Once 5 people post I'll post what I jammed!

Anyway I jammed and lost.

I went to play a SNG I have heard a lot about these and when I went over I decided to play a $275 just to see what was happening. I get there and it's basically winner takes all so we all put in 2750 between us and its winner takes all and we tip the dealer at the end. Everybody then does extra last lingers, so the whole table put up 100 each so it's now 3750 for the win. I then made 100$ last lingers with 2 people so personally I was playing it as a 575 and if I win it all I get 3950 but can recoup losses if I last longer than others etc.

I don't mean this in a bad way or anything but it was literally me and 9 big big fish. I ended up winning it but honestly it was nothing about me being good but others simply being bad. Bare in mind this is a winner takes all format. Bvb guy makes it 900 at 400bb I jam 2600 effective and he folds TT?!?!

I get heads up and open jam 17bbs and guy takes 4 minutes, he's a hollywooder and I know he likes to mess about he plays with his cards and I tell him I know he's folding can he please speed up as its a turbo and this hand has taken 25% of the level and I don't want to disrespect or embarrass him (SNG regs all know each other) by calling the clock. He asks dealer to turn his hand over and not be dead, I obligr. He has 88. I'm like wtffffff. We end up agreeing that I swear on my dogs life I don't have "ace rag" and that I'll show him my hand. He did not like seeing 66.

Eventually grind him down heads up by seriously in this winner takes all match I saw at least 10 r/f vs 4-8bb stacks. It was truly ridiculous. I feel like a huge fish for even posting about this in the blog, but if I start blogging about playing SNG's then you know why...

They have 500s and 1000s that are also apparently very, very good value and the 500s with last lingers can play like 1300s my friend said and you pay like 1.8% rake. Obviludly the variance can get pretty high though as its winner takes all but a lot of the edge you get from these is making very profitable deals later on. Ie of its you and 2 regs left you will obviously chop it so it's not higher variance and if it's you and 2 fish they will often give you extremely favourable deals.

Next year I will 100% be running a SNG/MTT stable in vegas where the guys will play SNG's in the RIO and MTT's around town, will sort a big house out etc and be coaching a bunch.

Tomorrow is the 1500 no limit event. I'm really excited because this is exactly what I want to excel in. My goals online are to be the best player, play great gto/balanced/unexploitable style on the whole but in vegas like I said previously my goal in to try and be one of the best regs in the 1000-3000 events. Obviously variance will never show who will be the best, but I'm going to be incredibly tough and self critical towards my performances and pick on the smallest mistakes I make. Would love a deep run tomorrow. #bracelethunting

Only read we have is that villian raised your limp too 8x bvb. So likes to raise big but not sure what kind of range this is with. Worst hand I Jam with....probably QJ think it's ok to have a peel range here, but I'm a nit and hate to pile so much pre flop with the bottom of my range.
