Love your writing style Stu, seems like your playing good hope you can bink something soon!

Re: NLH hand looks like you played it fine to me, if you check back turn anyway its likely they bet for value on the river and you have to make hero fold or you lose more chips. Betting gave you a chance for a cheaper showdown IMO so i dont think you made a mistake.

Cant really comment much on stud hi/lo as i havent played it, or if i have like odd horse tourney?? but missing possible value of 900 when bb 300 doesn't seem to bad, feel free to explain more anyone?

Good luck sir

Refund cheers.

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

OUT of today's $2500 no limit holdem at the end of level five. Unfortunately, there wasn't too much of interest to write about, apart from the exit hand, which accounted for most of the starting stack.

The table was pretty tough- had Pez on my left, a young British guy three to my right who played very well. Not quite sure who he was, but he was very competent. The rest of the table was fairly solid, no chips were being given out for free at all.

Exit hand: I had 5,800 at 100/200 (25), and had two red jacks UTG+2. I raised to 450, and it folded round to the young British guy in the big blind, who had played aggressively so far. He flatted, and the flop came a nice   Two Diamonds. The pot had 1225 in it, and the effective stack was 5,350. I bet 600 and he check raised to 1,500 after about 20 seconds thought.

Whilst on one hand it seemed standard to get it in on a flop where I was very likely only beaten by a set, it was slightly confusing to work out what his get-it-in range would be. It didn't feel like it was going to include too many tens, and possibly not even ace-ten, but at the same time, his value range that had me beat seemed very thin too (two pair an impossibility, sets are hard to make, and an overpair seemed fairly unlikely).

The main thought was therefore that his non-bluffing range was stuffed with a lot of hearts- and these would often be either two overcards with the flush draw, or a gutshot with the flush draw (9h8h, 8h7h, etc). There was of course some possibility of a stone cold bluff, and little possibility that was check raising some equity like pocket eights or T9; he was obviously not the kind of player who would raise to find out where he was.

So, there was obviously serious consideration to flatting the flop, looking to get it in on favourable turn. However, this could possibly give away a pot to non-nut flush draws if I were to pass on a black ace turn, and could give a free card to the times he was check-raise bluffing with just two overs. I could obviously never be a dog to a flush draw, and so I decided to get it in. This is probably a very standard decision, but I just thought it was worthy of interest and some thought, because it seemed unlikely that this opponent would get in too many hands that I had smashed (e.g. QT).

He had pocket queens, and the board, and the turn and river ran out without a black jack. This is probably a standard cooler, given the perfect flop for my opponent's situation, but I would be interested to know people's thoughts about a spot where we are 4.5 PSBs deep, and there might only be one hand (AT) against which our opponent will allow us to get in stacks favourably.

So, this concludes the package, gutted to have not done better, sorry guys.

Value of package is the $4030 cash in the $1500 PLO8 event, plus the $6,950 cash in the $2500 razz event, so is $10980. (So, 1% is $109.80, 2% is $219.60, 5% is $549, etc)

Could you let me know bank deets so that I can send payments whenever you like. I will be back home on July 11th, but can send any time from now, that would you like.
