Just got back from the 25euro game in the fitz. Finished 12th after some asian lad beside me (a fitz regular i think) made two ridiculous calls and got lucky twice.

First hand i was SB he was BB (500 ,1000). I get J 10 suited and i figured he had nothing so I went all in for 16,000. He thinks about it for ages and goes all in for 7,000 with......Q 4o!!! Jack comes out on flop and he rivers a queen. Fair enough he was slightly ahead going in to the hand but surely thats a terrible all in call with Q 4o.

I build myself up to 11,000 and find pocket 7s. with only one caller and the asian guy left to act I figured no-one had anything again so i move all in (blinds now 800, 1500). First lad folds straight away. Asian lad has about 14,000 left. He thinks for ages and calls with K 8! Flops an 8 and im out in 12th.

Is it just me or were both these calls terrible? Fair enough he was ahead in the first one and only just behind in the second but surely it still counts as getting lucky.

Ive seen that asian lad in there a few times and I think he's got a much bigger bankroll than me so maybe he just didn't really care if he got knocked out. I cant understand why else he would call 2 all ins with such terrible cards.

Oh yeh could marq or oscar post the results of the tourney

cheers

For the first one, that kind of move is always going to get you into trouble. Sure it was an iffy call by him, but if you go all-in for 15,000 with the blinds only 500,1000 it looks pretty damn obvious you don't want a call. How did you figure he had nothing when he hasn't even acted in the hand yet? The only hands your getting called by here are ones you are behind.

For the second one, the reason he probably called is because of your first move. He probably thought his K8 was in decent shape considering your move with the J10 and the fact you were short stacked and likely to make a move with any half decent hand.

I think there are more subtle ways to play this hand. Limp in and take it off him on the flop or pop it to 3k (probably more likely to induce a fold) and take it on the flop if he calls. I'd prefer to limp in personally as any other raise puts him all in or mostly pot commits him. Even had you not hit the flop you can take his blind with a flop bet (unless he's all over it) and given that you pushed preflop all you were after was his blind. This strikes me as the safer way of going about getting it. JT plays well in a multi way pot it's not the sort of thing you want to take into a race.

He kinda doesn't have enough chips to fold preflop if he thinks he's being bluffed. Him thinking he was being bluffed here is fair enough really.

I don't understand this hand. If he is directly to your left how can someone else act before him after your all in?

I don't like his call if a limper was due to act after him if not it's situational. On one hand he should be realising that after his previous call that you know he can call with any hand so this makes it less likely that you are bluffing this time. On the other if you have been genuinely wild at the table on top of the JT hand or have show a tendancy to only be aggressive with marginal hands and to play your big hands in a more considered fashion then he can make a decision that it's another bluff and call.

Obviously he decided he was being bluffed again, it's difficult to know whether that was a reasonable decision without knowing how you played a lot of your other hands.

I think they were terrible calls Rory! U were right, he was wrong, end of story. How dare he! And since I'm officially the third best player here I must be right too! How dare he i say. I shant sleep tonight i'm so furious.

AAaaaahhheem...

I think the PS tourney is a better reflection of who the best players are moreso than a once off luckfest

* Speaking of which are we ever getting that table updated Muso

jtsuited, did you play in the €30 freezeout yesterday afternoon in the Fitz? BigDragon, biteme, Marq, MadsL and I were there (in fact, we all made the final table against all the odds)

podgeen

how did you get on paul? who won, what was the prize pool?

How many runners were there at the 30 freeze-out? Is it on again next week?

bohsman

And I dealt a few hands every now and then.

On every Sunday, should grow from here, 11 players

1st 125 Ionapaul
1st 125 BigDragon
3rd 50 Biteme

biteme

Bigdragon and Ionapaul split it and I came third after running into paul when he had AK. And then getting rivered when my 42o got cracked by his AQo.

Was 11 runners. Short handed was fun while it lasted and then it just turned into rockfest :P

Waylander

I couldn't make it in yesterday and am away next weekend but will definitely play the week after that.

When it was 6-handed there were 5 rocks and 1 biteme Which is why it took sooooo long to get to the money.

This is why I was annoyed I didn't do better. I think I played too meekly we we got down to five handed and wasn't using my stack to the best advantage, but I didn't think I was in the best position with BigDragon on my left and Ionapaul on my left. Twas kinda difficult to build up chips when every time you raise no one believes you have even half a hand Although it does wonders for my table image.

i was going to go in for this game yesterday but couldn't make it in the end...i a newbie to holdem so do you think i'd be out of my depth in this game?...

Yeh looking back on the hands now I probably could have played them differently, but I forgot to mention that i had been getting away with stuff like that all night. I had built most of my stack by robbing blinds and going over the top of raises.

All the same I still think that even if I made a bad move all in, how can he call? Even if he does think I was bluffing how can you call an all in with Queen high? I understand that he may have thought I was bluffing but I still think they were terrible calls with the cards he held.

I'm not debating whether my move was right or wrong (i know I play pretty wild), i'm asking whether ANYBODY else would have commited all their chips to an all in with either Q 4 or K 8....... I know that 90% of the time I never would have called.

Anyway I dont care much now.... 'thats poker' and all that.


No fcuk it I do care!

I was right, he was wrong, end of story! (as the great Doc Farrell once put it)

Fair play to ionapaul and big dragon in the 30euro game. Damn job got in the way of me playing...

Maybe next week

podgeen

next time you go all-in when Im at your table i'll call you with Q 4 or K 8

roryc

please do...

podgeen

OK then I will.

jtsuited

indeed i was. twas me who finished 5th. tight play and no cards (apart from the bullets) got me into a right mess. Good fun though. Worst run of cards i've ever had, but them's poker. Just to turn things round i won 2 sng's (consecutively) on Empire when i got home. So i guess it balanced out. I figured we all got lucky to get to that final table!

You were far from right moving all-in with J,10. It was a very ropey call but bad plays generally do get punished. Making a massive over-raise like that is just asking for trouble.

By the sounds of it you were playing very aggressive and he fancied his chances. He probably thought the worst he was getting was 60/40, the asian lads do love abitta gamble.
