Just tried a satellite to event 8 and came second for $7 ($2 net). Heads-up was funny with neither of us wanting to commit even with stupidly high blinds. Eventually got in pre with AKs vs A8 flopped a flush draw and lost of course. Might give it another couple goes, 6-max knockout tourney sounds hot.

On a side note I got $40 from rakeback pros which is quite a large amount compared to my bankroll, rakeback rocks.

Tried a $7 MTT to satty in to event 8 but that didn't end to well but played another $5 6-max sit-n-go and won it.

Playing now and it's going well. Kinda slow and boring but it should pick up. 5k starting stacks with 10min blinds moving to 12 then 15 later on. I have an awesome fish to my right who has already handed half his stack to me.

I'm right in thinking that I should be playing Axs any pair and SC's if the action isn't crazy. Seems to be working. We're looking to make big hands with implied odds and should be wary of overpairs I think. Just fold pretty much everything else for now.

Oh does anybody have an idea how long this might last? I have no experience over $5 or with massive fields (15000).

EDIT: I'm getting lots of decent hands 1010/JJ etc. No massive ones but I better not be using up a card rush at the beginning when it doesn't really matter yet lol.

From another player I have about 100 hands w (74/3/3), $5PLO, never chatted before, as I just sat down at a table...

"Tight nit regs are not welcome here - this means you, sly"

I shoved pf my first hand in bb over two fish w QQJ9ds, asked after the hand whether that was better, response:

"no, all you did was get rid of the droolers"

I left the table the next blind (I rarely stay at a 4 handed 6max table, and the two fish left).

Sigh, I feel unloved... :D

Sigh... I will probably never get closer to a wsop package as I did last night. Finished 6th..so close I could smell it. Stormraven finished 4th and Rex finished 3rd. He should have won it - had a massive lead and lost 2 big all in pots to a weaker hand.

It was the OFC WSOOF final Main Event. A handful of our members won the $26 entry in the previous 3 events they held. (That is how Rex got in - he played for us a few months ago). I paid the $26 entry to play. There were less than 300 people in it - but we still did good for the 3 of us to final table.

Rex should have won it. He had a huge chip lead when it was down to 3 and lost a big pot when he was ahead that had put the other guy all in - and then lost the final all in with AK against Q9.

We did all win a $216 tournament ticket which is something at least - but a long way from that top prize we got so close to.

It was fun - we had loads of CC railers pulling for us.

(It was at Full Tilt)

Ok..... so I went to a local card club Saturday and played some $1/2 NL cash.... I only bought in for $100 because I had cash on me, really wanted to play and didn't feel like driving the other direction to the bank.

So I get there buy in and hour and a half goes by with only three good hands...44, 99 and A10. I took down a very small $16 pot with the A10.
FINALLY I get JJ in the SB. A guy in early position makes it $8 to go... I throw another $25 to make it $26 total. It was only an $18 raise, but I wanted to raise enough to either really make this guy want to play, or more than anything to get him to fold. He is a complete maniac.... Honestly I can't stand the guy personally and he plays poker like a maniac, but a very lucky maniac! So he calls.... Flop comes Q82 rainbow. I grab the rest of my chips, which is only about $28 worth and before they are in the pot he is like "I put you all in no matter your bet!". He then says "Your aces or kings are good" and he flips over JQ for top pair! The turn nor the river helped me.

So I went home and played MW2 until 6:00am!

Calling pre-flop is pretty standard I think, how about my line for the flop and turn. I don't think he had an overpair as he only thought for a second before folding. Is this max value or would calling the turn be better?

This one was just lol, I played it because there were a couple of callers and it was purely to flop a draw or two pair. Ace may have been good too.

I just call the turn in hand 1. You have the immortal huts so you can afford to let him catch up a little and he's firing pot into you on 2 streets after raising UTG. His range is really strong yet you're shoving over him on a paired/possible flush board. He should fold AA to you there.

I like raising flop in hand 1.

EDIT: once you decide to flat call flop, you should flat call turn too.

Yeah I hated the heart on the turn. I pretty much had my mind on stacks rather than value (wrong I know) and hence possibly lost a lot of it.

I didn't think this flop hit his range too well so I checked the flop to allow AK to bluff and obviously call the JJ/QQ that would probably bet. When he checked I didn't really put him on much. When he flipped them over it was a ffs, really? Moment.

Villain never has AK here because he jams it preflop. Failing to cbet this flop is criminal.

I know and i'd normally fold it with little thought but the guy did the same exact thing twice within 5 hands and had a flop check raise of 44% over quite a few hands. I know the board was a little worse and it was also probably slightly tilty.

I'll read over it again anyways, thanks.

EDIT: Oh I see, it's the c-bet? I'll read the article.

I've never read it so well put before and it makes tons of sense. I really mean that.

Thanks for pointing me to it guys.

How does it change when the board is very drawy after say CO calls your button 3-bet. Not at all? Do we take a chance he's drawing and check behind?

If the board is super drawy and villain will peel a street light then cbetting is ok.
But checking back to induce isnt to bad either.

If the board is drawy you're no longer WA/WB you're BA/WB (Barely). It's fine to check these back as well and go for the delayed cbet on the turn when your equity is better.
