I assume you had AJ or KJ here??So I decided to isolate him and raised to 1500. All else fold back to him and he calls. Flop is perfect. J-J-9. He checks, I check behind. Turn is a 4, he bets 1500, I sove for 2700, he calls and shows JQ. Lovely, until another 4 hits the river. If my hand stands up there, I,ve nearly 9k and cruising. (%^£$dgdkkewd826***")
Nice report, keep it up, and hope you run well when it's needed. i.e. the ME!!!

If you keep on getting it in good it'll turn around Connie. Best of luck!
Getting it in with KQ against 99 is not getting it in good though. You gotta figure here your racing at best.
But as Connie mentioned his holding here is irrelevant; he's squeezing given the knowledge he's picked up on both opponents.
However, the only question I would ask is if he has enough knowledge of his opponents to enable him to profitably make this move given he had only recently moved to the table? It appears he was only 50% correct.
A marginal call by the 99 but a correct one. 0 -

Nice read Olly! (and MD). But you say WD, and i say WD for what? No touch yet though I feel I've played as good as I could. Still, 2 weeks to go so hopefully I'll get a run at some stage. But I'll report regardless of what happens.
Connie
WD on your play so far Connie! - I'm unfortunately not an investor in your WSOP adventure but if I was one I'd be sitting back quite smugly reading these reports thinking what good shape I'm getting my money invested in - and in poker that's all you can do. Sometimes its important to remind yourself that you are playing well irrespective of results and it sounds to me like you are. Cashing will come.
I like that you have the Roy Keane/Paul O'Connell hunger though - nothing won yet!! 0 -

And in response to tm2004 you are failing to appreciate the difference between pushing in this spot with KQs and likely dead money in the middle and calling it off with KQs. The guy only has to fold 1 in 5 times for this to be a very profitable spot. In reality I'd say he folds more like 50% of the time given Connie's table image.
When Connie squeezed here he had 2 players to act behind.
I'm not questioning the play at all i'm just asking if Connie made the play with enough knowledge of his opponents to be confident they would both fold to his all-in re-raise.
If not then i'm sure he has to think he's in bad shape with all his chips in the middle holding KQs
He was only at the table a short while; enough for them to both buy his rock image and fold? 0 -
He got it in behind twice. lol.If you keep on getting it in good it'll turn around Connie. Best of luck!
I am not criticising his play by the way. I think he played both hands fine.
I think you can expect both of them to fold a lot of the time when faced with a shove from someone who has not played a hand for 50 minutes.When Connie squeezed here he had 2 players to act behind.

I think Connie correctly identified the caller as not having a premium hand based on his actions in a previous hand which he described.
Therefore he only had to worry about the original raiser as possibly having a very big hand. This is a perfect spot for a squeeze play knowing that player A(original raiser) will likely fold 1010 or worse, and possibly aq or worse considering also that she has another player to act behind her.
Player B who has reraised with kings in a previous hand and done his best to help his opponent to fold preflop(for some insane reason) is certainly not holding premium cards as he has flat called, so you can be almost certain that you are racing with overcards if you get called.0 -
Nice reports, Connie. Its tough when you are not getting the cards, but you have to wait it out. Swings and roundabouts.
Cry like a baby when you get knocked out (remember that guy/girl on Youtube crying about Britney). We might see you on TV.

Hi Olly,
Yeah, he was very close to folding it anyway. He thought for about 3 minutes. He was a decent player who I knew would be well aware of the image I had portrayed. He said to me after the hand that he felt I had one of 4 hands, QQ-KK-AA or AK.( if thats his thinking then he shoulda folded lol). I had played (for want of a better word lol) 4 laps of the table here by just constantly folding. As Eagle says above, I knew villian didnt have a premium hand when he flatted behind, of course the lady (original raiser) could have had anything but I felt without a big holding, she wouldnt continue in the hand with that guy behind her to act. I thought it was a good spot to get them in. If I had 5k instead of 4k I think he folds. If he folds there, I add nearly 50% to my stack. Thats poker I guess.
Connie
If he put you on one of those 4 holdings then it's a dumb call as he's in bad shape to all but the AK and even here he's racing.
Didn't know you had played 4 orbits at this new table so that obviously changes the dynamics of the squeeze all-in push.
My question was nothing to do with your holding & more to do with your table image as preceived by the 2 opponents your raise had to get through.
GL the rest of the trip Connie. 0 -

I like it when hands are discussed and how they could be played different ways and thanks for your imput. Discssion on hands played is good for ones game. On the hand itself, I said in the report that I came to this table with 5,500 chips. I didnt put a chip into a pot except for my blinds and I had 4,300 left when this pot started, so I had payed 1,200 in blinds with blinds at 100-200, hence 4 laps of the table.
I am of course aware that I could have waited for another occassion, blinds were just going to 100-200 with a 25 ante, but after that its going 200-400 so I was aware I needed to get some chips within the next 50mins. I'm happy enough though to think that that squeeze gets through often enough to make it the right play.
Thanks for your good wishes, I'll take them to the table with me today:)
Keep reading and commenting, I appreciate it

Your welcome Connie.
I support (in any small way I can) any Irish player that takes the leap & goes to Vegas to play the WSOP.
You guys live the dream for the rest of us Irish poker players who have not yet had the chance to experience Vegas and the WSOP.
Keep playing well regardless of the results. Make your decisions based on the situation & circumstances and not in any way with frustrations due to how you are running. If it's your time it will be; if not it won't.
I am never dissapointed if I am busted having played the hand well & gotten my money in good. What else can you do.... 0 -

unlucky connie, well played, thanks for the updates, they make great reading. the AA on the Q56, easy to choose to hold off for the tunr bluff in hindsight, in the moment though, its a tough decision.
glad to see the cards are finally starting to come round for you, its all building up to the big one !!!! GL!! 0 -
