    Cash games were a little crazy in the boyne valley at the weekend…………There was 10 or 12 pots that got a little out of hand and it was almost like bingo at times!

    Player 1 plays a good solid game. Bets his strong hands well and will have a pop if he misses. He can play the game well and generally doesn’t usually take unnecessary risks ….. stack:305
    Player 2 just lost 700 and bought in for back in for 1000. Raised the next 5 pots to between 12 and 15…stack 850
    Player 3 is your definitive loosey goosey gamlooor northern type….stack 650
    Player 4 is pretty tight and aggressive. A dealer thats good reader of the game and is capable of making big laydows…stack 560

    A raise to 15 preflop with a few callers….around to player 3

    Player 3 raises to 115
    Player 4 calls 115
    Player 1 calls 115
    Player 2 raises to 415
    Player 3 calls 415
    Player 4 raises to 560 allin
    Player 1 calls 305 allin
    Player 2 calls 560
    Player 3 calls 560… main pot is 1220…side pot is 765

    Flop is KdQh10d turn 3d….river 2s

    Player 1 has AdQd
    Player 2 has AcKs
    Player 3 has As9s
    Player 4 has AhJh

    There was a 15 minute delay as the pots were sorted out when Player 1 only received 920 as his main pot..a lot of dispute but in the end there was no doubt that he should have got 1220 and that’s what finally happened..

    It was interesting to see that a relatively tight solid player that I’ve played with a lot and another dealer that I’ve played with a bit can put all their tanks in when you feel players are at it all the time…it was that sort of game!

    I wouldn't have called you a "northern" type unless you mean "northern Liffey" type.

    good jaysis.....was there drink involved or had it all just got a bit emotional?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭Norwich Fan Rob


    i played about 18 hours in these cash games at the weekend, they were a goldmine really, lots of drunks and people on tilt after exciting tourney.
    i hardly ever play live cash, but couldnt leave these games despite going hours totally card dead both days and wanting a few pints.

    Especially late on, people were tanking it in, with absolutely nothing, all you needed was top pair and u were usually in good shape.

    The 2/5 game was going 2 -5 - 20 - 200 pre flop regularly............i saw everything from 300+ all ins pre flop with Q3 to a guy calling all in with 9 high (im not kidding) on a Q72 board..........he called about 150 all in with 98......he was hammered.

    I ran averagly really, no major big hands to speak of and still ended up over 3 grand up, makes up for my disasters in the 2 tourneys.

    I am totally disgusted at you complete lack of morals with regard to the above. Have you ever considered that it is wrong to take money from drunk people in this way? Would you take a drunks wallet if he was asleep on the side of the road??

    Shame on you Rob





    i really really shudda taken a spin up saturday night


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,187 ✭✭✭Flushdraw


    Yeah there was a bit of drink involved but as Rob said, it was generally just people just tanking it in and hoping for the best. Half of them couldnt bluff so you could just pick them off but sometimes you walked into a hand.But for every one that you got caught with, the 3 or 4 times you were right meant it very profitable to call with marginal hands yourself.

    At one stage on the first night, i thought Rob was going to fall asleep at the table but you could see he wasnt going anywhere because of the +EV for hanging around. Against good players, being tired at the poker table is a hazard but in these games, you had to struggle till 630 because of the easy money around.

    I never saw anything as bad as what Rob describes but it wasnt far off. All in all, the structure of the games and the cash games ran very well and Mike, Tom and Luke did a very good job..If i dont make the FT of the boards monthly, i think i'll be takin a trip back to Drog for the monthly game and the cashgame extravagansa afterwards!!

    BTW Ian....theres a hardcore 3 or 4 lads from the border that will contest every pot and pump it in.....and sepite what Solksjaer says, theres nothin wrong with being a northsider, tch!

    I think your description of player 4 seems to be slightly out as he managed to get all his chips in with AJs preflop.

    Also when you check-raised me on that K54 flop and showed a K you were almost certainly making a mistake as I am never committing my chips without a hand that crushes you. You essentially turned your hand into a bluff I think.

    Unfortuantely Reggie, i've never played a cash game with you. I've read a lot of your posts and youre extremely knowledgeable with your reading of the game but i've never seen it in person. Fair point about that hand. If i bet out for 35 or so, I think you either call or fold. If you call i'm no nearer to knowing if my top pair is good. If you fold, i take a small pot. If i check, i might get the other players in the hand to come along, or else get your c. bet on the flop which i then try to close off.

    If you have AA or a set, then so be it, but i'm only realistically behind to 4 hands. On the turn i could be behind to so much more.

    i was on the same 1-2 table as you friday night rob,
    the drunk guy to your left made for good entertainment, i thought a fight was gonna break out at one stage.

    couldnt help but make money on that table, got most of the ME buy in back so was happy enough with that

    With 20 minutes to go before the 7am shut down Mike is doing up some paperwork and I jump into the weaker of the two cash game as far as I can tell. Rob Taylor is the only one who seems even sober let alone able to play but the variance is huge. I play one hand where I open raise to 25 on the button with KQo. Its that kinda game. I get called in 3 spots and see a Q-high board with two hearts. I tank it for 110 and get one caller who misses his flush draw.

    Rob makes a terrific call for all of his chips (about 400) against one rather inebriated gent (who is usually a good player but at this point is annihilated). Rob calls with Top Pair no kicker and is good all the way home.

    Third last hand of the night (all of the above has happened within 1 orbit), I get AA on the button. Its raised by the drunken player above to 9 and I reraise to 50. Everyone folds. Player says "thats the first time you've bet all night". I point out that I raised with KQ a minute ago and he shoves for 200+ with Q3.

    Later I lost a 350 pot where one guy was all in for 75 before the cards were dealt! I had TT he had 68 and Barry "I chase middle pin straights" Hand :p had called in advance of the out of turn bet with A7. So the EV was huge but the variance is fairly large too!! :)

    lots of people on tilt after exciting tourney.


    I was one of those, wow, I donked off a serious amount of cash in quite a short amount of time in those games.


    Made a little bit back tho. I had pushed pocket threes preflop and got a number of callers, including a guy with ad6d, he flopped an ace and I rivered a three. He called me a tilty luckbox and didn't believe me when i said I was ahead pf anyway.

    So we ran it 20 hands for a €100 yoyos. lol.

    Ok, when I said it was almost certainly a mistake I meant it was almost certainly a mistake against most players. You are losing the maximum when I have you beat and winning the minimum when you have me beat. If I have AK there I am probably felting it too judging by what had gone before on that table. I probably do the same with KQ and would struggle to fold KJ there. I had AQ unfortunately so I could do nada about the check-raise. The only reason I mention that there is because I saw so many players check-raising with any sort of TP getting re-raised all in and before they know it, they have 2/3rds of their stack in there and are priced in to call off their stack with a very weak hand. I would imagine you would have been best folding preflop or just trying to call me down.

    I had KQ in that hand. generally i wouldnt call your raise from the blinds with such a hand. If the flop comes Q54 instead of K54, i guess if i checkraised, i lose my stack which is the whole point youre trying to make. If i bet it, and you either call or raise, i give up on the hand because i'm beat most of time. With the likes Eddie in the hand, i'm hoping he hits his King or even his 5 because i dont think he folds here. 67 and he sticks it all in.

    I only bought in for €200 aswel which makes a difference. I dont mind risking this early on to try and double up. The fact we only had about 20 mins to play before the tournie started up meant i was going to gamble more, as were others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,434 ✭✭✭cardshark202


    Point taken mate, and with Eddie in the hand I can see the value of calling lol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭pok3rplaya


    I played some 2/5 at about 4am - 6.30 on the Sat night. There was a guy on the table right to the end with curly hair and a rough beard (he had a mate that looked exactly the same as him) with like a 3 -4k stack. Is he one of you guys?

    That is Robin Lacey........

    He posts here right?

    I thought he had a very interesting way aggressive style considering the fish we were playing with. Basically raising and reraising in LP a ton and seeing loads of flops with big pots. I've a few suspicions but I'd like to hear his explination for his style. You know how all the advice we hear for plaing with fish is to nit it up.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,394 ✭✭✭robinlacey


    poker3rplaya were you the guy who called me with KJ on the river towards the end?

    as for the way i was playing,basically i felt that i knew where i was with the players at the table,most of them were terrible and the stacks were very deep in some cases so i wanted to be putting pressure on them and making them think i was as crazy as they were...

    the fact that i was constantly raising and had a huge stack would reinforce their idea that i was some insane luckbox,which allowed me to get a lot of value for my hands when i hit,also many of them were so bad that i felt comfortable making marginal decisions when they tried to play back at me...
    basically the players weren't good enough to realise that i was playing very loose preflop and on the flop,but tight agressive on the turn and river,and so i tried to play as many pots with them as possible,preferably with me as the agressor...

    Yeah that was me.

    I see. I think the fact that the stacks were v deep in many cases helped alot. It ment that you got so see flops with big pots against way inferior players and lots of money behind for when you do hit big. The fish couldn't tell the difference between the times you'd hit and the times you were splashing around. It worked well. Must be high variance though?

    That spade flushdraw push was pretty marginal?

    i don't know how high varience it was,i think if i could have kept playing at that table indefinitely i could have taken all the money eventually (the players were much worse before you sat down,a lot of them had either busted or left)

    but i had a few other reasons for playing the way i was too
    first of all,i dont play live much,and find the pace very very slow...
    i normally 4-8 table $3/6 - $20/40,and so i find it hard to concentrate on one 2/5 table which is playing about 6 hands an hour...

    for this reason i was trying to play as many hands as possible to prevent boredom,as well as to exploit the mistakes they were making as much as possible...

    as for the flushdraw hand,at the time i was pissed off about the hand,but when i was talking about it with my friends afterwards i didn't think there were many other ways to play it...
    (i dont know if you noticed,but it was top pair and a flushdraw,not just a draw)

    (((for those who weren't there,the hand went something like this
    villain has about 1400,i cover

    villain (probably something like 90/30 pahud stats) limps,possibly other limpers,i raise on the button with Js3s

    flop Jc 4s 6s

    villain checks,i bet 50,he makes it 150,i call

    turn is a 7c,he bets 300,i push,he calls with J7)))

    the villain in the hand was terrible,and visibly getting pissed off with me...

    i'd seen him get it all in for 400 with AKo on the flop,unimproved,and openlimp 83o,and call down with bottom pair in crazy situations...

    so the way the hand worked out,on the flop i had top pair and a flush draw,and was kind of expecting him to play back at me...

    so he checks the flop,i bet 50 with top pair and a flush draw,he makes it 150,with about 1k behind...

    now stacks are far too deep for me to push here,and my hand is far far to strong to fold (against anyone,let alone against this guy)

    on the turn i was expecting him to bet 200,which i would have called,but when he bet 300 i had to push,since i didn't want to call such a large bet and be left to call 700 more on the river,given that my top pair might still be good but it'd be very hard to tell) and i think folding would have been bad too,given the history and how we'd both been playing...

    so i think i had to push,god knows if he would have still called if he hadn't hit his kicker on the turn!

    i wouldn't say i was delighted with how i played the hand,in fact i was very annoyed after it and spent a lot of time thinking about it,but i don't really see any other way,unless anyone has any other ideas....

    i think it is so much to do with the player,and how i had been playing against him too though...

    His buddy was at my table (the 1/2 NLHE main table). Sat very very tight with a big stack. There was plenty of raising p/f and bluffing going on, but he decided to play it cautious and wait for the big hands, which unfortuanetly for him never came. The one time he made a nice play on J107xx board with a flush showing, he was called by 99 despite only playing about 5 hands in 2 hours. Similar looking but completely different approaches to the game..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,394 ✭✭✭robinlacey


    actually pok3rplaya,i wanted to ask you about the hand where you called on the river with KJ...

    i dont really have a lot of live experience and its a part of my game i'm trying to work on,i was wondering after the hand if there was something in my demeanour that made you call?

    i don't really know much about the physical tells side of things,i was wondering if there was something in my body language that gave away the fact that i was bluffing,since i only made three real bluffs all weekend and two of them were called..

    It requires that there BE a turn and river bet or else you just end up playing Loose Agg against a boat load of headcases. In a deep stacked game its very effective though...

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,004 ✭✭✭pok3rplaya


    Oh ok I missed the top pair part of that hand. The guys reaction when the river hit was priceless btw!

    Nah that night was like the second time I'd ever played live poker (I 6/8 table 200/400/600NL online). I was looking for that kinda stuff all night but I never saw it, just a lack of experience and not knowing what to look for.

    Basically I worked it out as:

    I reckoned you'd raise 2pr/sets on the flop. Given your way aggro image you'd easily get away with a value raise earlier in the hand and I figure you knew that (I'd just started to cotton on to the fact that you were a decent player when this hand happened).

    I also figured you would have checked behind on the river with a marginal hand. Weak K or whatever.

    All that left really was draws. I figured you were deffinitly aggro enough, and good enough to try and bluff a whiffed draw on the river. The reason I was debating over the call for a while was because I was trying to decide if you had QJ or two clubs (QJ straight had just completed Board was {Tc rag Kc} {rag} {Ace not club} ) and I eventually decided that by your looseness you had two clubs here more often then QJ.

    I was directly on the right of the dealer. The youngest guy at the table is prob the best way to describe me.

    Btw whats with boards being full of old people!!? I always thought we were a bunch of degenerate students.

    I think the deep stack part is the key. Otherwise this style just breaks down into one big preflop leak.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,394 ✭✭✭robinlacey


    well at least i wasn't giving anything away with the way i was sitting!
    it was a very good call,although i probably would have played a T or QJ roughly the same way,maybe with a bigger bet on the river...

    goodluck2me were you at the table?
    i was sitting in probably seat 7 or 8,i dont know,at one end of the table in the middle anyway,i'm the scruffy guy with a beard...

    Hmmmn, I think I may have dealt to you then if I have the right person, dealt to you in main event, 300 game and main 1-2 cash game for about 2 hours. If this is you then your are the spit of the WWE wrestler John Cena.

    Yeah probably, this was 2/5 cash we're talking about though. I came 7th in the €300 donkament. As I understand it a load of the dealers are posters. Are you 21ish with black hair and a northern accent? Or black hair and a kinda smig? Or redish short hair?

    no that is goodluck2me :)
    And yes, most of us would be boardies I imagine.
    Half the fun of these festivals is trying to figure out who the boardsies are.

    i actually dont mind him, i know him for quite a while and hes actually not the worst, gets a bit emotional when someone plays unorthodox but i guess we all do.

    I just thought he was far too arrogant and sleezy.

    As I understand it a load of the dealers are posters. Are you 21ish with black hair and a northern accent? Or black hair and a kinda smig? Or redish short hair?

    Cash games were a little crazy in the boyne valley at the weekend…………There was 10 or 12 pots that got a little out of hand and it was almost like bingo at times!

    Player 1 plays a good solid game. Bets his strong hands well and will have a pop if he misses. He can play the game well and generally doesn’t usually take unnecessary risks ….. stack:305
    Player 2 just lost 700 and bought in for back in for 1000. Raised the next 5 pots to between 12 and 15…stack 850
    Player 3 is your definitive loosey goosey gamlooor northern type….stack 650
    Player 4 is pretty tight and aggressive. A dealer thats good reader of the game and is capable of making big laydows…stack 560

    A raise to 15 preflop with a few callers….around to player 3

    Player 3 raises to 115
    Player 4 calls 115
    Player 1 calls 115
    Player 2 raises to 415
    Player 3 calls 415
    Player 4 raises to 560 allin
    Player 1 calls 305 allin
    Player 2 calls 560
    Player 3 calls 560… main pot is 1220…side pot is 765

    Flop is KdQh10d turn 3d….river 2s

    Player 1 has AdQd
    Player 2 has AcKs
    Player 3 has As9s
    Player 4 has AhJh

    There was a 15 minute delay as the pots were sorted out when Player 1 only received 920 as his main pot..a lot of dispute but in the end there was no doubt that he should have got 1220 and that’s what finally happened..

    It was interesting to see that a relatively tight solid player that I’ve played with a lot and another dealer that I’ve played with a bit can put all their tanks in when you feel players are at it all the time…it was that sort of game!


    Actually I was in another game when this hand happened, I know there was a heated dispute about the pots, did you hear the guy standing up behind roaring "relax lads it's only chips". It wasn't it was cash, and alot of it.

    One of the funnier moments of the weekend.

    Late on Friday night in the 2/5 game a drunken sligo young guy joins the game, he is pissed and a bit abusive but we all laugh allong. At one stage I say something (cant remember what) and he comments "oooh look at him with the big words and his suit all dressed up and nowhere to go" I point out that the word I said was in fact only 3 sylables and perhaps he should work on expanding his vocabulary. At this point Robin says something to him at which point the drunk turns to him and dead pan asks "what did you say scruffy?"
