A QQ tournament hand

[NoflopsHomer]

Hmmm, since I'm a lone voice for going all-in here. I'll try and explain, I've got 50 outs on JJ and xpressman on AK. The half chips preflop and half post flops stinks like AK to me, this means it's less likely that 50 outs has AA or KK but still possible, I think he flat calls here to see the flop and work out what to do next. Surely, you'd re-raise with AA or KK here preflop?

having played 50 outs a fair bit i'd say AK suited here preflop was possible, post flop AK of clubs? or JJ

[Royal Flush]

At this point i had his range so narrow that i was 95% sure he had AA and 99% sure i was behind.

[Feb 2 22:55:25] : Flush Royal : AA mr outs?
[Feb 2 22:55:29] : Flush Royal folded.
[Feb 2 22:55:29] : Showdown!
[Feb 2 22:55:31] : Seat 1 : 50 outs has Ah
[Feb 2 22:55:31] : Seat 6 : xpressman has
[Feb 2 22:55:37] : Board cards [ ]
[Feb 2 22:55:37] : xpressman has Pair:
[Feb 2 22:55:37] : 50 outs has Pair: Aces
[Feb 2 22:55:37] : 50 outs wins 5,230 with Pair: Aces
[Feb 2 22:55:41] : BOND--007 : lol
[Feb 2 22:55:47] : Hand is over.

I don't make a habbit of folding QQ on J hi boards! It kept me in the game long enough to get outdrawn a couple of times on the final and to bubble!

[JungleCat03]

you've got no more info than prefllop!

but u fold now...

.....u always planned on folding a non-Q flop?

Fold preflop then!

This smells fishier than the alleyway next to my old house where my local chippie used to chuck their rotten fish.

I don't think you can reasonably be this specific when putting your opponents on hands, especially based on just preflop action. You're better off considering what range of hands your opponent could have, because very few people are predictable enough to give away exactly what they are holding.

I know xpressman, he's a Luton regular...estate agent from North London who runs a business called PropertyXpress...geddit!

Not that it helps now, but he's a any pair/Ace rag merchant.

Pleased to be of assistance

[TightEnd]

Hello Ian, welcome to Blonde! 

[Xpressman]

After reading that Tight end reckons im a Ace/ Rag, any pair merchant, i would like to thank him for his wonderful observations!!, and its so nice that he finds it in himself to discuss my personal business on the Blonde forum,i suppose i should thank you for the free advertising but im afraid that at this moment of time i should refrain from that !!

I would like to point out that i had previous to this hand been badly outdrawn and lost a stack of my chips, i decided to make a move with my pair of sevens however the flop came. I was fortunate enough to have to under cards on the flop with the jack , so if someone had the jack or a over pair good luck to them!!

 It was not The World Series and only a small tourny, yet Tight End must butt in to slag my past play  , well thank you for your comments Tight End, i have only been playing the game a couple of years and still got a lot to learn and iron out bad play from my game,but if you were a so called authority on the game i can see why you would find it in yourself to belittle someone online, well you are not a authority just a man by seeing how many posts you submit who has to butt in a make a disrespectful remarks about me for no good reason, well if thats what turns you on just keep me out of it , i dont discuss you on here so dont talk about me !!

Sorry if i offended anyone with these remarks, but i just felt i needed to make a response.

Im pleased to report that i made 7 Final Tables Since December in small live tornys, and a few online, I must have ironed out those bad habits of calling any rag/ace, and going all in with any pair ,or maybe not ??

I enjoyed my visit, ty for listening, Xpressman

 

[TightEnd]

Whoops.

Ian, you know me better than that. I apologise that my attempt at humour seems to have backfired. I was attempting to make a joke based on the fact I knew you and your opponents didn't. Of course you don't overdo Ace rag or any pair. I apologise again.

[b4matt]

  an unfortunate 1st experience of blonde poker for you ian...

I hope you can accept T.E's apology. This forum's mostly constructive and always has an'edge' of humour. T.E's comments i'm sure, where not serious, infact there's numerous other threads where he berates the abuse of other players, thus i hope you can find your future time on blode as rewarding and as usefull as i do.

All the best, Matt.

[pleno1]

Going to do a Greekstein sorry.

Some commmm replies in here.

[Royal Flush]

Norrr i went mad with a Q and a Q pre flop, then tried to justify it!

gr8 game tighty.

[GreekStein]

Tightend, please refrain from offending people on the blondepoker forum or else I'll be sending you another pm very soon.

Xpressman - do stay with us on blonde. It's a wonderful place and I for one think both your business and your poker play are excellent.

Thanks,

[EvilPie]

Oh this is so priceless. I can see many bumps whenever one of us gets shouted at in future.

[bolt pp]
