846 A 5 and u have 89 how have u got 2nd nuts?

Fold pre, fold turn and 100% fold river!

2nd one u have A4 on 25x and hit the gin card 4? Wtf?!

Fold pre A4 defo vs someone who will send u giddy, wait for a decent hand?

What are the blinds with the AQ one???

I maybe call pre depending on stacks & blinds but if ur saying 10k otf is a bigger bet than usual then I'm folding. Stop being a station IMO.

Also wtf is Celtic going on about??



Question time Smiley

I have ninja edited the post, I had 87 on a 8465A rainbow board, I seem to have had my dyslexic head on hand recall.  77 made a lot more sense then 97 based on his position call but in hindsite the massive overshove is polarised towards nuts as my hand is pretty face up by leading river with a practically pot sized bet, and he must know I am going to struggle to fold a 7 and he should also know 97 should be closer to my range than his, unknown player so he could not guarantee how wide I would defend a BB.  Rating 10/10 on the Spewometer

The second hand, Squires is a lunatic, note his 3b open was 2 3 off, the table is clicking buttons and there was a 3rd player involved who was a station (like me Smiley ) and would likely keep the action in check as he is smart enough to know that Maybury players do not fold.  It was a bit of an Xmas hit, but we had a plan in the hand and I had done minimal play back which I think allowed me some rope in this spot.

I believe the blinds were 600/1200/200 the bet on the flop was probably pot sized but in my experience in the Scottish game, it is a large lead, especially with stack sizings.  My main issue is that I have come from a table of extreme aggression, I have just been forced to fold QQ by the same villain and I am probably steaming a bit as the lead on the AAx board made little sense, if you have the Ace, it was just an odd lead that vexed me.  2 hands later you are 3B my open, unfortunately I am sensing I badly assigned the player tag and perhaps he was not aggressive but more a nit on a run of cards, unfortunately against a run of cards I am having.  I think with the nut flush blocker, and JJ/1010 perhaps being in his range, calling the flop cannot be terrible?  Fair enough we have caught him at the top of his range, but he will have to slow down AK/JJ/1010 on the turn, and he cannot be loving his hand.  He is never nutted on that flop as only 99 is tentatively in his 3b OOP range, and that is pretty unlikely based on his OOP peel in the AAx hand. Leading 25k into the pot on turn rules out QQ IMO as that is just ridic, on balance my hand  could easily be AQ with the nut blocker or even suited tbf, as AK would likely have clicked back pre in position so after the event the two hands seem pretty readable, do we fold the turn? does he play 1010/JJ with the 10 s much different? or AK with the could also play the hand this way.  I think that JJ and AK are pretty possible here.  I cannot see the turn as a fold having got here.  I think had I known the player better I can fold pre and on the flop.  Rating Spewometer 5/10.  I dont hate the hand, I didnt get them in coffined, and I think I can be good here, and win a massive pot.  It is all a learning process I guess, I hit patches in tournaments of bad play, guess its tilt and is someting I will be working hard on, I actually have an MP3 player filled with smooth grooves!

I hope this answers the questions, I have a lot of work to do on some processes and appreciate all feedback.

So u have about 44 bigs when the AQ plays out.

I don't mind the peel IP, but From what u have said about him betting big (10k) otf, just give him benefit of doubt, no need to float here in a 3 bet pot just cos he has donk lead or w/e on AAX & u have QQ?!!

The turn u r literally always behind, like what can he have that u beat by bettin that big?, live players don't tend to bet potish on turn unless they have it, also most don't have it in them to be capable enough of over thinking the way u seem to be throughout all these hands. Like 1/10 u might be right here but 44 bigs I just don't see the need when there will be PLENTY of other easier spots later on that requires much less thought process and doesn't risk ur entire stack?.

The 1st one again is just ridiculous IMO, u seriously can't beat anything here and although u have the straight there is literally not a cat in hells chance this guy doesn't have the nuts by the river.

Ill give u an example, last week I was playing some bowl comp down my local, I had built up to 85k from 30k 15min clock,  this was after the first break so prob about 2 hrs, 3 limpers I'm in the small with A7o I complete and bb checks. Flop :

A 7 6 rainbow, check check, 1 bet of about 1800 me and bb call.

Turn 5, brings 2 spades now, I lead for 4100, bb instant jams 20k on top, other guy dwell folds, I just fold he shows 34. He's usually not gonna shove the nuts on turn, cos wants to induce other guy into the pot, he's the bb, so realistically what can he have to over shove that big?

Has to be 34, maybe he's a fruitcake with A5/A6/67 type hands but these live players don't seem to go mental like that(not this one anyway), even if he had bluffed me plenty of EASIER oppourtunites for me later on.

2nd example. I have JJ this is in 1st hr so early levels I have above avg stack but not sure on excat stack sizes and blinds at the time. Guy limps I think 400, other guy limps 400, I'm otb and make it 1400, limper now makes it 2100, other guy folds I peel. Flop 9 5 3, rainbow.

He bets 3800ish, I peel, turn is the 10, he bets 15k which is a slight over bet I just sigh fold, seems all too weird at the time, I know the guy knows what he's doing and don't see any reason for him to be making a weird move like this once he's limped, u really think he's taking off with 88 etc here for example? Cos that's the only sort of hands I can be and  I think folding is the best option cos I can smell a rat.

The 3rd hand is with 2 tables out, blinds have now increased to 12 min levels, this is the structure. 2 limpers one of which is a HUGE fish, I look JJ, I make it 2800, 400/800 blinds, the star who has limped calls as does the bb, I have position. Flop :

8 2 2, 2 hearts, bb check, star leads for like 4500, I make it like 11,000 I think bb mucks and the star snap jams.

Now this pot is to put me on 120kish at 400/800. The way he plays gl if he has overpair, and if he has a deuce which he will have IMO, 1/100 times then he will check call to induce the bb in, and try to get me to do all the betting, they know I'm aggro and the fact he leads suggests he has either the 8, or a fd, I don't put him on the 8 at the point of him going all in as he wouldn't risk it IMO, but I've seen him play draws this way, specially if he has 2 over cards.

So after some thought I feel I'm happy to take this on, it's against one of the hugest fish in the room who I feel I have locked up, and it puts me nailed on for final table and should be able to run them over with this stack so with all this information I decide to call.

He has the mighty 63hearts, and can't hit the Jack of hearts cos that will house me up so I fancy my chances. I do end up losing but I'm not trying to get at that point I still feel I took the 'big pot' on at the right time against the right player and made good folds vs the rest. Had the hand held I would probably had a deep finish with a few ££ in my back pocket, that's my point.

I feel in a lot of your analysis you are trying to make excuses for all the various hands he can have that u can beat at that point and I feel that's a bad way to start/continue to think about players.

In live poker I don't think many people have caught up, and feel the games are SO SOFT u just don't really have to do that much to get ITM, obv still need luck but if u keep playing optimally u will soon get consistent results, try not to let it get personal, if some guy has 3/4 bet u 5 orbits in a row, f them, let them have it, give them the benefit of the doubt and rest assured u will soon find spots where u don't have to 2nd guess urself, chase cards or in general just be a non believer to what hand they are telling u they have.

I feel so annoyed I've done my money, cos if I still had it I would be playing most of my poker live, there is SO much money to be made, and because I've taken so many months to try and curb the bad losing side of my game, I feel that I am a much better live player for it, but unfortunately I have to wait patient.

P.s - sorry if this comes across patronising, I re read my previous post and it did seen quite abrupt, but I want u to know if I didn't give a shit or I wanted u to lose I wouldn't say anything to you, hence me tryin to put examples in this post as to why I think u should change. I honestly feel if u took some of this advice u would see your results flourish.

I am grateful of all feedback and discussion, I dont speak to people about poker much on a strategic level rather than listening to hours of bad beat stories from non thinking players bemoaning the fact they had an Ace and a King, or they were suited, or they had value ha ha

We are agreed on the first hand, I have rated that 10/10 on the Spewometer, on twitter villain commented that I tanked for ages, which shows I almost let it go, I think I just levelled myself, post rebuy period and I snap fold.  My hand is face up, and I think I indulged in a game of, he should know what I have, but if he knows that I know, that he knows, then he would know that I could and should fold.....if you get me!!!! Levels much Sad

The AQ hand I really struggle with,  I think we probably start the hand with 59bb (so even worse ha ha), although 44bb on the turn, if we assign him a range of AQ+ and 1010+ knowing he doesnt have the Ace of spades, we think we can take control on a number of turns, in a huge pot potential.  The board is a turkey for my peeling range, which is likely to include mid pairs, and broadway combos, no bar 99, or tentatively A9s (I wouldnt but Ben Jackson smooth called a 5b of mine with said hand, when I had KK, on a 99x board, so it does happen ha ha.....we run good) so I am not surprised potting that flop, as he has control of the pot.  I perhaps overvalue the nut blocker but I fancy he has to slow down a huge amount on many turns knowing I have 14 of my 59bb in a 32bb pot.  The 25k on the turn I believe rules out 99/QQ, why would he be chasing out my draws with the goods, he could have hit his AQ, and we have the nut redraw, he could be going hyper with JJ (single spade), he could be going nuts with AK (K spade blocker), or he could have AA/KK, KK we are drawing to spades Queens and Aces, Aces we are drawing to queens and spades, I would look to rule out AA as we block the nut and I dont think he would go this heavy with zero spades as he should know he could be coffined, we beat conceivable hands, and we have two possible hands of which we have a reasonable redraw against.  He was not loving life on the turn, his demeanour was off, stack sizings werent too different at the start of the hand, clearly he cant love the turn, and I think I picked up on this, as I can have AJs A10s in my range very easily.

I can agree floating flop is on the stationy side, I did not fist pump jam turn, I would have folded turn with a non spade queen, simply the one card in the deck which gets this response.  I think the AAx QQ hand is admissible here, I would say leading into a 3b on an AA flop is a high variance line, it shows aggression, as my 3b range includes a lot of A combos, unless he has housed up set mining x and is looking for AK to take flight.  In addition on a 10ish hand sample this is my 3rd raise, villain and myself have limited history although he will know of me, so my range to him could be anywhere.

Certainly I do not bring this level of thinking to local comps, this table was tough, in context to the field, I had my friend Squires back, my 97 friend from earlier on, and some hoodies, only 1 spot had been identified (bar myself ha ha). 

I agree with the sentiment, I think ocassionally I overthink myself into high variance spots in the larger compeititions, perhaps giving too much credit to other players thought patterns and the fact the spots of which I am used to plenty, do not materialise as often. In the regular "bowl" comps, for which I have a good record, I tend to work with a more chip utility strategy, keep chips, get further and then outplay when stacks begin to get bigger, and find the spots for which you always get paid.  Perhaps in these tournaments I look too hard to find these spots.  I am aiming for next months deepstack so hopefully can present a tournament report without "but he could have had" and concentrate on winning Smiley

Hopefully we get the chance to talk poker at the table some day.  I spend a lot of time railing yourself, Dan and others on Stars, as I don't do enough training research on the game, and I am looking to improve from (self proclaimed) decent local player, although the step up is a markable one, and perhaps a bridge too far, who knows.  I like your examples, FWIW I probably go broke on hand 1, with the but I have 2 pairs mantra and he could have ha ha, I think I can give up 2, and 3 I lose with you.  Interesting to know that people can fold 1, I would have flagged that as cold and assumed its a sigh call.

You can make a decent amount of money in live poker by just doing the basics well and sticking to them.  IMO, at least.

Zero change really, not played much, should really track my online cash, will have to factor that in somehow! JOY

Outlook ahead, Kellyann is off to Galway today, I am insanely jealous, my blow up in Satellite was pretty spectacular,  I got a massive double to 86k with 20ish left, puting me 4th.  I am SB, there is a 14k stack in BB, we see  two spades, now my thinking was, I do not want to give the shortstack a walk, so I shove, Why? I do not know, he calls, and wins, we now have 70k and needlessly given away 14k, we then get AJ on the button, and we raise a ridic amount, on the button like 5x to basically say, meh, I aint folding, then the 2 blinds both shove, the first is callable the second, is bigger, we can be left with 23k if we call, we have 55k if we fold, the pot is mahoosive, we call, pretty sure that is truly awful satellite play and we lose versus 99 and AK for both pots.  It is just inexplicable, I have a great record in DTD satellites I get the theory, I just blew up completely! 

We then get the 20k in bad and double to 60k to be 8 of 14, with 10 paid, then mid position shoves 20k, we have AJ again, I think based on stack sizings and proximity this is a fold, I folded 1010 in similar spot earlier when head was not mush, as really looking for others to make the moves, and AJ does not play great against a shoving range, 1010 was probably a better spot.  We iso shove, cause we are imploding and SB wakes up with AA, leaves us with 2BB which we get in good, turn trip kings and then lose to a straight on the river for GG.  Pretty appauled with the whole thing, wish the best of luck to the DTD team.

Aiming for the deepstack at the start of the month, then the 25/25 series in Glasgow for September and the GPS Edinburgh in October, we shall not be deterred

Zero change really, not played much, should really track my online cash, will have to factor that in somehow! JOY

Outlook ahead, Kellyann is off to Galway today, I am insanely jealous, my blow up in Satellite was pretty spectacular,  I got a massive double to 86k with 20ish left, puting me 4th.  I am SB, there is a 14k stack in BB, we see  two spades, now my thinking was, I do not want to give the shortstack a walk, so I shove, Why? I do not know, he calls, and wins, we now have 70k and needlessly given away 14k, we then get AJ on the button, and we raise a ridic amount, on the button like 5x to basically say, meh, I aint folding, then the 2 blinds both shove, the first is callable the second, is bigger, we can be left with 23k if we call, we have 55k if we fold, the pot is mahoosive, we call, pretty sure that is truly awful satellite play and we lose versus 99 and AK for both pots.  It is just inexplicable, I have a great record in DTD satellites I get the theory, I just blew up completely! 

We then get the 20k in bad and double to 60k to be 8 of 14, with 10 paid, then mid position shoves 20k, we have AJ again, I think based on stack sizings and proximity this is a fold, I folded 1010 in similar spot earlier when head was not mush, as really looking for others to make the moves, and AJ does not play great against a shoving range, 1010 was probably a better spot.  We iso shove, cause we are imploding and SB wakes up with AA, leaves us with 2BB which we get in good, turn trip kings and then lose to a straight on the river for GG.  Pretty appauled with the whole thing, wish the best of luck to the DTD team.

Aiming for the deepstack at the start of the month, then the 25/25 series in Glasgow for September and the GPS Edinburgh in October, we shall not be deterred 

Cliffs : I'm terrified some Irish charmer is gonna get Kelli

Ha ha, I lol'd, admittedly I did try and book her into a hotel 20 miles from Galway to escape the 'hustle', but that was sheer coincidence Smiley but excellent cliffage

Thought hasn't crossed my mind.....she is a very happy nice person, I like having her around, if I complicate matters, I probably join a long list of 'yeah, we were friends but it got weird cause he....' Coupled with the fact I would probably commit multiple felonies to try and keep me sane/her happy, I guess it's best where it is....

Poker free day yesterday, tried to fix the economic black hole by questionable European Ice Cream Football betting, how can Burpaspor be beaten 3-0 at home by a team of whom I have never heard, sounds like a fix, in the later, dig me out the deeper hole accumulator, Club Brugge masterfully managed to come from 1-0 and then 3-1 down to last minute draw when we needed a win, they exit europe like the big belgian bet buggerers that they are...merde

I have people round tonight and bar a last minute casino mercy mission when they are gone, I will be on another pokerless day, these mercy missions have happened before, so we will see....going to spend most of the weekend at rehab ("my mums"), not the best place to escape gambling as my parents both have laptops which they sit and trade betfair on all afternoon.  However, I will be treating it as a superman style solace cave (pretty sure thats the word) and planning my next pokering moves.  Probably involving winning the Sunday Storm and hand jiving my way out the hole with a thrilling rendition of "nothings going to stop me now".

I heard Kyle Maguire got second in a Galway High Roller, richly deserved, was great in the SPS (apart from getting pogo'd on his first buy in by my dirty gut shot) and a really top lad! The Glasgow players seem to have been getting the lot recently Makka GPS Sheffield, Ludo UKIPT Marbella and Kyle SPS, UKIPT, 3rd Sunday Million, enjoyed playing with some of them recently, although worryingly the Edinburgh young talent (not including me as I am old and tez) does not seem to meassure up!
