Just realised the email version doesnt work in Universal Replayer.  Any chance you have the original HH file on your comp somewhere (from PT4/HEM)?

If not ill just flick through on PT4, but loads easier for me if I can use UR....

For some reason my HEM isn't saving hands properly need to get this sorted so i can't sorry

[theprawnidentity]

I can't get it to work on UR or PT4.  Does anyone know of any alternatives?  I could have used the PXF replayer but I would have to resubscribe.

wow really tilted right now played the big $162 ws killing it early on. I expected a serious high level of poker and all there was were people sticking 30BB in KQo vs 88 stuff like that went pretty card dead and folded AKo with 20BB when there were 2 all ins in front of me, i figured that i was against something like 10's and AK/AQ so not in amazing shape didn't feel  a need on reflection shouldn't have folded. Then shipped 10BB with A3dd called in BB by A9ss and he holds

[SuuPRlim]

AK hand really depends on the stack sizes of the ALL-INs in front of you, if the first guy shovs 9bb and someone with 21 BB isolates them by going all-in as well then you have a very very easy All-In, you crush one range and do fine vs another getting a gd price (first guy AI with KTs etc and the guy will re-iso a lot of pairs AQ, AJs etc) also what positions they doing this from, if its UTG1 shoves 10bb and 19bb in shoves nextt position its a lot different to CO shoving, and BTN isolating as the btn's range will be  lot wider given there is significantly less risk off running into a big hand cold.

If it's something like Raise to 3bb, shove all-in for 14bb and then someone else shoves over the top for 25bb's then you have a definate fold, given the first shover will be shoving tighter persumably given they have more bets and over an EP opener (more chance of them having a better/calling hand) and this will. in turn make the 2nd ALL-IN's range very strong as his hand need to be ahead of the first shover's range, and there is the risk that the initial opener has a good hand too, AK does ok vs the first range and pretty meh against the second.

Need to pay real attention to these things in game as they are hugely hugely relevant..

yeah i did at the time the original shove was for around my stack between 15-20BB the second shove was for around 40BB if i remember rightly UTG+1 and UTG +2 i was on the button, so both shoves are pretty strong in my mind, i think there was a blind level jump about to happen as well so should really just have gone with it. thanks though

Just sort of had an epiphany about playing that tournament last night really happy i played it to be honest, yeah it cost me $162 which I'd played all day to win but it's also given me a lot of confidence in my game i outplayed a lot of people at that level and in the end got a little unlucky. Also just playing the big $11 now and realized how much more confident i am maneuvering my stack about and abusing people haha. Also got a seat in the last sat on stars for a UKIPT package 2 guaranteed about 20 people in wish me luck hopefully I'll be playing it..... you'll all know i guess.

Just a quick question if anyone wants to answer: I'm playing 80BB villain is playing 35BB he min open i 3-bet pretty small on my button with  am i just giving him a chance to shove here and losing the equity that my hand has so should flat or is this a standard 3-bet he opened hijack im on button?

Can of worms question.  You can do either profitably I would suggest.  I would flat sometimes and 3b sometimes.

SSOSOSOSOSOSOOSOSOSOSOSOSO MAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!! playing UKIPT sat on stars and also big $11, i blew up a bit in big $11 this affected me in the sat as well i was cruising in sat then messed up a few hands due to tile! went down to around average then with 12 left get AQcc in SB playing 30k blinds 1250/2500 guy makes it 7500 out of a 40k stack i shove he calls with J10 of clubs flop comes 892 ccx so im huge takes some of his outs but gives him straight outs he binks an offsuit Jack. How the hell does he make the calls or the raise in the 1st place its just suicide. About 5 mins before in big $11 had AK in BB playing 80k average is 75k and blinds are 1k/2k i think guy shove MP for 18k, button flats; thought process here he could be huge but mostly good players do this and he was TERRIBLE, SB calls so dead money now basically i have to shove i shove button snaps with QQ and wins a flip to go chip leader in the tourney wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii whats a life.........

[polerization]

Only just realized that was my last chance to get in the UKIPT. Bit gutted i got bad beated now anyone got a spare £1100 hanging round to put me in?

Was just sat playing the big $8.80 (bowl comps for life) thought I'd put a quick post on here not been up to much recently apart from playing tournament's on stars, i have ran deep a few times and came 202nd in the sunday million yesterday which was sick! As for live poker nothing going will be playing the xxl25's wednesday and thursday try win the big game seat. As for life feeling good (need to lose weight!) but Saturday going back home till after christmas should be nice spending this much time with the family!

On a side note thought i'd say what a lot of people are thinking hope you get everything sorted alex so you get the diary back soon!

[verndog158]

im no OFC pro, but if he showed that, isnt that a fouled hand?

[Rexas]

nope, assume wild 2's, so straight flush, flush and trip nines for 46 points.

[verndog158]
