I knew it.

I'm gonna do my own PHA post later. I'll include wind speed, medical references, Freemason chants and everything.

Then Girgy will come on and say, "U played it like a donk"

Here's the bits I get:

Quote
Villain is a pretty spewy reg, generally confined to preflop superlight 5b jams.

Spewy is hard to define. Spews a lot? I guess a spew is when you bluff big when there is little chance it's going to work, or when you try and value bet too thin. A reg is someone who plays a lot at these stakes.

Traditionally when playing pre flop, you 3-bet your monster hands (AA, KK, QQ, AK). The trouble with that is that if you 3-bet just these hands, anyone good knows what you've got and just folds. So people have started 3 betting some other hands too.

In response to that, people have started 4 betting some junk as well as their premiums back. What this note says is that this guy's favourite way of blowing a lot of chips is to 5-bet light.

Quote
Call open is pretty high in the bb although doubtful KXs.

Calls raises a lot in the big blind. Doesn't do it with King X suited much though.

Quote
River aggression factor 1.6/17% which i think is pretty important.

Aggression factor is the ratio of bets or raises to calls. It's a favourite stat of Hold'em manager or PokerTracker. You can get it to split it up by street too- so this guy is betting on the river about 3 times for every 2 times he's calling. That's quite high (?). So you might infer that he's the sort to bluff missed hands on the river a lot, or the sort of player to try and check raise you off marginal hands.

* NB this paragraph might be complete bollocks, since I don't really know much about aggression factor.

Quote
wtsd 31%/won$sd 47.

31% of the time they saw the flop with a hand they went to showdown with it. They won 47% of hands they showed down.

Quote
doesnt believe a flop cr

If you check raise him on the flop, he thinks it's a bluff

Quote
, bet and bomb on wet board multiway for value

You should play hands fast on wet boards against him (so reraise the flop, don't just call and hope he bets again).

Quote
avoid seat in blinds to his button/3bet his btn open a TONNe

Try and avoid sitting one or two to his left. If you are sitting one or two to his left when he has the button, 3 bet him a lot. (I presume that Alex means this guy raises about 100% of hands on the button).

Quote
5b jams small pps bvb

as we said earlier, he likes to 5 bet light, with say small pocket pairs in blind vs blind confrontations.

Quote
4b bluffs sb pre in blind wars

And he 4 bets light too in blind vs blind confrontations (this is obvious implied by earlier notes).

Quote
float him a lot srp

srp Huh??

Quote
goes for cr on turn in 3b pots often

Check raises the turn in a pot where there has been a 3 bet before the flop.

Quote
4b jams ATs mp v btn

More 4 betting light- he really doesn't believe 3 bets from the button.

Quote
c/c tpgk, stationy

Will call down top pair, good kicker- so play your bigger hands fast, and don't try and bluff him off top pair so much. A calling station.

Quote
the triple barrel is a hand, does barrel equity oop and giveup

Doesn't triple barrel bluff. Bluffs when has some equity out-of-position, but then gives up.

Quote
peels any pair to 10:1 direct implied 3b.

If you 3 bet him pre flop, he will always call with any pocket pair if the implied odds are 10:1 of the bet.

E.g. you're playing £0.50/£1, He has  two hearts Two Clubs, he raises from middle position to £3, you three bet him to £9 from the button, he will always call and see the flop providing both your stack and his are £90 (10*9).

Tiger Blood Alert!!!!

Luton £150 chopped five ways at 2:30pm when the blinds became bigger than the average stack. (£1240 each and £800 for the shortie).

I had an accident in the first level and spent the next 10 hours on the respirator. If clinging to the wreckage was an Olympic event, I would be looking at at a podium finish in 2012.  

I was a great comp with a great atmo. (Especially my table cos I was on it).

Special thanks are due to my Rail. Namely Lucky McBink and Phil 'Snattiramas' Cooklin for shouting "Queen Queen Queen" when I was all in AQ v AK. (They almost got duffed up when it came on the river).

BTW- Lucky McBink shook my hand last night. We've shaken hands many times before, but until now, he's always been sitting down and me standing up. He looked confused doing it the other way around.






Anyway, that's the WINNING report over for another year.


Got to run around the field this morning to stave off the effects of fish & chips, lamb jalfrezi and half-price Easter eggs. Then its off to Barnsley to visit my old mam, and perhaps a few hours grinding Stars before going back to the Big W tomorrow.

SBR = $224.14


PS- had 2 disputes with Kendall, won one outright, free-rollin' on the other. Toasty!
