Started off at DTD last night about 9, had to be the NITTIEST 1/1 game I've ever sat in, most sat with the max and I'd bet the average pot size was under £5. The amount of times it folded to the blinds and they'd just check a board down was ridiculous.
I soon piped up "Someone needs to lose a pot already.."
Ohai der
.. Open the CO, 3 callers (most ever fwiw), Loose-ish player (villain) peels from big.
, £8, call.
turn. Check check as I had no plan what to do if c/raised..
riv. I go for £17 of his money and he says he hates the river.. YES CALL... and calls with
. Nh. I really don't know whether I should just c/call or even c/fold this river. I'm playing a lot of hyper HU SNG's online and a lot of the time I find myself value betting super thin, this doesn't feel that thin but the more I think the more it's difficult for him to pay off with worse.. Thoughts?
Played another where I opened
and got peeled by the bb.
, he's the kind of player who's called me for 3 streets with just a bare K in this spot before so I'm praying to make the flush, bet £7.
turn, How on earth can I miss now? Oh shit did I really just say that...? £16..call.
Riv wiiiiiiiiii, £32. He does a fold
#tellbox.
Won £11 for the session. Solid
Off to gala then! Place has gone down the pan since a friend of mine left and I haven't been back since. Tried to buy for the max (#brags) and get some reload money "No? Why do you need more? If you want more just get cash out at the table".. FFS what is when you have something great it gets ruined for abso no viable reason. As if a dealer/camera wouldn't notice me casually adding 8 ponies to my stack when I've already got the max. You also now can't get chips from the desk yourself, need a managers permission, this is bad for me as I like towers and they give you bowl chips.
Anyway, we're sat in the game, position on cash game hero Sean Belton YES. Played probably 5 notable pots for the session so if you don't like HH's you can stop reading until after the card graphics end.
Hand #1; Overlimp LP with
, this is just terrible and something I've almost got rid of in my game, think this was the only time I limped all night. anyway, few people limp behind including villain behind us.
, checked to us and we lead for £8, he quickly makes it £20 with £75 behind. Thought about just setting him in right there but decided to see a turn for a bunch of dumb reasons. The scarecard
comes on the turn and I c/raise him his stack. He does a call with..
! Bricked out so we're down £130 for the session now.
Hand #2; Non-pro does the popular "head shake, sigh, almost fold, ok raise to £6" move with £100 stack and I'm just praying for a pair or something juicy to stack his AA/KK.
YES, call OTB, few others people including bb who's a bit tilted. £80 stack.
YESSSS, bb checks, opener bets £15, we pretty quickly make it £44 and before the bb has acted he almost moved all-in out of turn, the bb then moves in! We do the stato "call instantly" and hold vs
and
, was pretty sick cause the riv was an A, thought I lost!
Hand #3; Two people move all in over my 3b and we hold with
..
Booking a nice £150 win now, got the next seat on the featured table with Belton, Goulder, George from DTD, and a few other hero's.
We move over, position on alex and belton which is always nice, was trying not to goof off or spew though. Think I only 3b alex once with KQo and had to call a 4b jam from a shortie who accidentally slowrolled with the nuts, pretty funny he stood up like he could never win and then said "oh wait I have the nuts!" lol. Had to laugh
Alex also tried guessing who Girl #1 was. We played 20 questions and he gave up after question 8 with loads of help from me! Weak!
Hand #4; Cash game hero George opens UTG+1 and we peel QJ OTB. KKJ, we call a quick £6. Q turn, decent argument for folding my hand to a bet here, but me and george have never played a hand yet he has ALL the history on me cause he deals for me a lot. Anyway I stubbornly call a ~£16 bet. J river and I fold to a £21 snap bet, feel like out of all the hands I played last night I played this one the worst, only lost £20 in the hand but the manner in which I lost it and the way I played it bothered me a lot. Surprised I didn't stubbornly call the river seeing as I'd butchered it up to this point anyway.
Hand #5; I open
and non-pro in the bb calls.
. Bet and called.
turn, Bet again and was called, he has PSB back on the river which is a
, feels like a bet but I checked, I spoke to alex after and he described it as a spot to bet less than turn and have him call. We showed and were good anyway.
Hand #6; Penultimate hand of the night, and likely the hand that will get the most responses. Villain is a tight/nit reg who've I played with prob twice before, apparently won the Iancredible 100 but he deffo seemed more aggro today, was drinking dunno if that had anything to do with it but he'd be opening a LOT and has also 4b alex once already.
He opens UTG (Been doing this a lot too) and we 3b
and he SNAP calls, He's playing £220 (in for £100) and we cover him.
. We £17, he SNAPS, literally before my chips are in his are.
turn, I bet £23 (Thoughts on sizing?) and he snaps again, Riv is a
, your line OTR here? I went for £32 and he snapped again with
. Once again I don't know if I'm value betting too thin here and whether I should c/call or c/fold river.
Lost almost all my profit during this last hand and it was time to go to work so we quit the game winning £21, +£32 for the night, SO solid
We managed to NOT get mugged also, but deffo gonna set up a deposit account as I feel iffy carrying 2 buyins around with me everywhere.
Got back from my work shift about 9, getting too old for these all nighters! Especially working this bowl amount of hours, my hours got reduced due to our "Right hours, right place" policy so it's completely fucked me in terms of £ earned outside of poker per month. I'm still working 5 days per week so it's not like I have more time to play, I just feel more tired due to the gruesome starting times. Started looking for another job but it's so hard, I have nothing special in terms of qualifications, just the usual 5 A*- C's in Maths/English/Science etc and I'm so shy when it comes to interviews/bigging myself up so it's really difficult for me to move on to better things work wise.
DTD tonight, possibly some 1/2 depending on how tough the game is, if not 1/1. Hopefully see some of you lot there.
Lastly, started listening to Taking Back Sunday's album yesterday, it's fkn incredible.
Enjoy.
