SuperStud Freeroll time

[77dave]

Playing 2/2 DC last night and we are on last round. Few people chasing the game is 6 handed and lots of action

im in the cutoff and limp in with  after a couple of limpers. Button checks Wildcat in the BB makes it 10 more playing around 1k which we cover.

2 callers we call and the button calls so 5 way action. We show 

Wildcat shows  and hits  . Next player bricks and TJ as Wildcat called him all night has shown    . We have showing. Button  . Player who bricked was 1st to speak and he checks it round. Button bets 12 player 100 with 60 already in the pot. Wildcat raises to 96. Brick folds. TJ folds we call button laugh folds.

5 street wildcat hits  . TJ  we hit  . Now our board looks super strong but we dont actually have a low yet and just 1pr for the high. I decided a check is too weak and we still want to build the pot a little but we dont quite love stacking off here just yet. I bet 100 and both players call.

6 street wildcat hits  . TJ hits  and we hit the freerolltastic  .

So what do we do know pot is about 775. wildcat has 705 remaining. TJ has about 1200 behind and we have about 1k.

Loving life. Expect TJ  is too, after all he is still in the hand

FML @ that lad saying "I've seen you on the Telly, you are TJ", & then calling me TJ all damn night. Before long, the whole of Luton-G were calling me TJ.

Bleurgh.

What do you think TJ had under?

TJ showed the 9 as his Up Card, & drew a J 4th Street.

PS - Extraordinary hand, beautifully played by Jim.

When you've done the hand TJ and 77D, would love you to talk about why you show the up cards you do and some of the strategy behind it all

Jim you have A-3-5cc, and you show the 3, to hide the Ace and the flush potential?


Fascinating game, and I am crap at it

[tikay]

Jim, I hope you Post a few more of these DC hands from last night, would love to hear the views of others, especially TPAFKALD.

My memory is shot, I cant really remember them without prompting.

That big LowBall hand would be good, too......

Happily. I'll let Jim finish the reveal first though.

In fact, as to "Up Cards", the Lowball hand is a corker as to what we show, & why, & the subsequent thinking & line. It was 100% com actually, more of which later.

bet!

You have far and away the best hand your decisions are whether you try keep them both in the pot (which yur most likely just going to get half of) or whether you try and force them off there high hands. The most logical assumption here is that they both have trips - if we pot this 6th street then they should defo both fold but in reality they prolly wont.

I like your play on 5th street taking control with the strongest board. You have the best, 100% live draw like you say chk.call here and you basically say to the table I HAVE PAIRED MY ACE NOW! also you should never get raised here ever which is nice.

For me I think you should pot and try get them both folding, also if they both call then thats amazing and if you pick one of them up thats fine too as you've got a lot of card to freeroll them with. Obviously them both calling, or both folding are the best results.

agreed that was my plan, i dont mind what they do as long as they both do the same, both call or both fold. We dont want 1 call and 1 fold.

What if - hypothetically of course - I had J-J under & hit another J on 4th street?

[tikay]

ALSO relevant is that this is the penultimate hand of the night, & I am around £600 up. BOTH other players have about the same as me, we are all playing circa £1,200.   

77Dave is about a grand up, I believe.
