Last hand of the night madness..again!

Flushdraw

“COME ON!”, “GET IN THERE!”, “COME ON”, “THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!”.

Fist clenching, punching the air, high fives all around as the dealer pushes in a monster pot…..which popular boardsie do u think I’m talking about???

The venue was the jackpot, Satuday morning. The game was the 1/2 PLHE straddle for 7/25 cash game at least once an orbit so getting your chips preflop when ahead meant nothing as all-in bets were being called by 34s and J5o etc. Crazy stuff indeed!

Final hand of the jackpot, Saturday morning…boardsie has just turned a healthy profit into an unhealthy loss in the space of 10 minutes….To say he’s tilting would be an understatement…He’s built his stack back up to about 1000

Not sure of the exact preflop/flop betting on this hand (pot preflop with a call and pot on flop with a call I think). On the turn, the board shows 10 6 5 2 rainbow. Sean (quiet chap with glasses ) pots for 85. He has a 2500 approx stack and has been running well. Boarsie re-pots for 340. Sean thinks about this for an age, at least 5 mins and bets 1100 puttin boardsie all-in.

Boardsie has a short think and says “ I’m sure I’m ahead “ and calls for about 1000 and flips over A 10….A disconsolate Sean flips over 10 9 and with no help on the river, it’s a 2k pot so ship the motherf****** sherbit!

I think for once, this usually quiet and reserved boardsie was allowed his little outburst. The frustration, the beats, the few pints that were all inside, spilt out in a moment of ecstasy. A fantastic read and a tremendous call. Congratulations Halfbaked

ah now im only messing about it being a bad call. last hand of the night in the same position im sure most people would have called.

Saturday nights 2nd place finish was as pleasing as any victory ive had - especially when you consider i donked the first half of my chips to Peter in his first hand at the table.

At the start of the Final Table 195k chips in play, Chief has 88k, I have 17k. I jokingly say to Liam Flood that im gonna let Chief knock everybody out and id be happy to take 2nd. What happens? Well Chief knocks everybody out of course and i limp into 2nd with 7k stack.

A couple of key hands - when 3 handed blinds at 1k 2k. Chief c.143k, Random Other 42k, me 10k. Chief on the button decides to "make a move you know" and raises to 12k, Random other pushes for 42k with AQ, Chief without any hesitation in the world says "ah yeah, I call, ive got live cards" - now under any stretch if the imagination i couldnt have put chief on 10 6 sooted - but yes he called and donked away 42k.... 6 or so hands later Chief 97k, Random other, 87, Me f'all. Chief on the button "Raise, 20k", Random other raises all in, Inside I start dancing in the knowledge that Chief will call and call he does with A3 sooted against 66. Chief of course beats him but not in any old contentional manner - not with an ACE but with a club on the river to hit a flush... Easy to see now why Chief regularly donks away stacks at the final table.

He has a habit of overplaying tptk like that. Its not that it was a good read, more that he's a calling station that could never let go of tptk

Especially with Jimmy playing in them! He just couldnt let go of a hand or resist bluffing. During 1 hand i was involved with him, he bet 200 on the river and i reraised all in for 18 more. The pot was over 600. He folded. I flashed a 4(blank card) as i was mucking my cards and he reached into the muck and pulled my cards out and looked at them! He's a funny onion!

Is this Jimmy taxi driver, 50+ (looks much older than he probably is, looks about 70)?

I too was at this game with halfbaked and flushdraw.One of the strangest sessions of poker i have played in a long time. It was a good call by halfbaked . I was delighted he won that pot because i had never seen someone lose three buyins in 3 hands in a row before, he was getting sucked out by jimmys call of 110 preflop with 34.. they were suited says jimmy.

entertaining game all the same with 3 big fish at the table. the whole of the othere table in ther jackpot were waiting to get on this table!

well done peter and flushdraw you did real well after a shaky start even getting me to lay down the rockets.

You were very unlucky with that hand. It was the first time i'd flopped a set in a long time. Tough but good fold.

It was funny watchin the other table sweating to be moved across! There must have been about 6k at the table. Shane was another victim of the suckout..When holding QQ, the flop came QJ3 with 1 heart. Jimmy put himself all-in calling Shanes flop bet of 140 with J9...runner runner heart for a flush...not good!

i dont think this is a good call at all.
all i can say is i know Peter is better than this and he must have been on tilt.

Pete was suffering from a bit of tilt but he had built his stack back up impressively. He had potted a helluva lot leading up to this hand and it hadnt gone unnoticed by the table.

Pete had been playin so LAG for the 45 mins or so before that hand, so Sean must have figured Pete to be using his aggresion and tryin to steal so he put him to the ultimate test by puttin him all-in. Anyone thats played with Sean a few times (like myself and Pete) knows that he risks huge amounts with marginal holdings and makes some dubious calls.

I'm sure Pete reasoned this in his thought process along with other factors and made the call. Theres no way Pete would have put another 550 into the pot if he thought he was behind. Dont think tilt played a factor with this call

mickste

have to agree with flushdraw, sean had been playing with some ridiculous cards and the length of time it took him to reraise peter all in was suspicious in my view. If he had flat called the bet I think peter would be a lot more worried on the river. peter made a good read. I was pretty sure peter was winning and he said it before sean put him all in.

gholi i think the fact that the guy reraised the pot with tp weak kicker shows what kind of player he is. He was already down 500 leaving the se before we got to the jackpot.

he could of walked out 2500 up losing just 100 on that hand but left losing 1000.

Nah it was a crazy tilt induced donkey call, but as stated, he has a habit of overplaying one pair holdings like that. It's his achilles heel.

Sean takes forever to make a decision at the best of times. I've seen him agonise for 2-3 minutes before raising with the nuts and bluffs alike.

cardshark202

The re-raise with AT on the flop is pretty awful anyway.
Defend yourself halfbaked.

EDIT: Seems i totally misread the hand, but i hate a check-raise on the turn.

Gholimoli

ive played with Peter and i know he is a good player.
im sure he does not mind me saying that i think this was a bad call.
for what i undestand the pot was raised and called or raised and reraised pre flop.
then given the action and Sean 3betting there i dont think this is a good call.
now i dont know Sean but unless he is some stupid muppet who dosent know sh1t then i dont think this is a good call.
think about it this way :how often are you ahead here when the pot has been contested preflop and then you get 3betted on the flop ?
apart from actually seeing what Sean has in his hand i dont think any read could justify this call.

eggie

Peter, I hope you started singing "I feel like dancing, dancing!!!" Nice pot.

HalfBaked

No more boards in work, damn fun police have blocked it:(

I have been playing like a demented loon for the last half an hour. Lagging it up to the max and managed to build my stack back up to 1000 after taking a nasty hit in three hands. In the last orbit I have taken down pretty much every pot, in most instances not having to show. The last hand of the night is called and I blind raise to 7 which is then raise to 15 blind on my left. I look down at A-10.

Flop comes down 10-6-5 and I pot it. Everyone folds except Sean who calls on the button. Having played with him all night I'm fairly certain I can rule out an over pair (he would have raised pre flop). I think he most likely has top pair, or second pair with and A/K kicker, outside chance he has 7-8. Considering how LAG I have been playing I think it’s fair to assume he thinks he has the best of it.

I decided that I was going to check raise the turn unless a scare card comes. Turn comes a 2 which is pretty much the best card in the deck. I check, he bets, I re-raise to 450.

I actually thought he would lay down the hand, but he goes into the tank for what is literally 5 minutes plus. During this time I keep looking over and he’s looking up at me every couple of seconds, looking at his chips and then looking back at me again. The longer he takes the more certain I am that I’m ahead, he really looks confused by the re-raise and I’m almost certain he thinks I’m trying to take the pot away.

I’ll admit that I was still taken aback when he re-re-raised. But having already thought through the hand and those previous my decision had been made and I called after a relatively short time.

It did feel really good when I was right:).

Peter hoping and thinking are not the same thing. You're mixing the words up here. Admit it. You're a tilting lucksack whos tilty call payed off against a donk.

Nice pot, I don't know if it was a good read or just lucky. Congrats anyway HalfBaked.

BUT whats with all the high-fiving, air-punching, screaming etc?

It might just about be acceptable at the end of a tournament where at least the runner-up is getting a consolation prize...however in a cash game there is a big loser in this hand as well. I'd be livid if I lost this pot and a party broke out around me !

I read dreadful stuff on the AntesUp site about the carryon of Americans during the WSOP MainEvent when they knocked people out, this behaviour sounds similarly undignified.

I hate to bring more poetry onto the forum tonight, but Kiplings lines about treating the twin imposters of triumph and despair equally, they are apt.

I wasn't there and don't know anyone involved to see, so I may have got the wrong impression of what happened.

i think it was a lucky hand for you but i know where you were coming from making the call, :eek:


i was playing with you's in the SE before heading the jackpot.
i also was in a big last hand wit sean, i raised with QJc preflop, and i flop the nuts AK10, [rainbow] anyway sean has AJ... the turn is a blank and the river is a jack - not quite sure how the betting went, but there was lots of action on the flop and turn - anyway i was all in on the river , i still have the nuts and sean has 2pair.. all thats needed is a Q to make the straight, sean thinks about it for an age... after about 5-6 min's he looks at me and says you probably have it but i call..... anothe 280 euro??
all he had was top pair till the river and even if the jack didnt hit i think he'd still call......

anyway Pete nice hit and nice call... well done FISH .. lol

Ah, Bottom Feeder - aka Wes!!. You played that hand against Sean well - but he had no business calling you down. Ridiculous stuff altogether.

Given the way Sean had been playing all night in the SE, Peter's call makes more sense. As for being pumped at the end - why not? A hand like that, he declares he is ahead before calling and is rewarded for a great read and a brave call. I'd be doing a classy jig on the side of the table.

lol thats me

lloyd that would be a sight ... u dancing on the table... the fcukin size of ya lol

i would be delighted to take that pot down as well..... but its not nice wen its rubbed in man.... hence the high fives .... shame on you pete.... "COME ON" ............. !!

Goodluck2me

imo, if you win a pot like that the best thing to do is tip the dealer, rake in your pot, stack your chips and then take a walk outside and do whatever feck you like out of sight, its very annoying losing 1000 euro pots, its much worse getting it rubbed in your face.

Thats what i was thinkin watchin you play this hand. I knew you hit the straight on the flop and all the standing up, sighing, shaking the head deserves an oscar! It was a crazy call alright, but your river bet was nice, knowing that he finds it very difficult to let go of top pair..nevermind 2 pair.

hey flush if you remember back i was standing up talking to john when you and halfbaked asked was i playin the hand or wat...! wen i raised there was a big ohhhhhh cause you's taught i was folding.... remember... anyway i knew i was gettin paid.... lol
