wow gross even grosser that you can't fold ever lol never AA/QQ here probably KQ lol jk sick though i assume he had Kx

also just curious who selects the hand?

And can I enter more then one ?

 

[Debi]

We will probably select the hand - or give Phil a few choices. You can submit multiple hands.

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

Would be good to have some discussion on thought processes too.

 

[nabmom]

I had already seen the villian make a 3-bet with AJ, which is why I called PF. Plus I'd have position on him throughout the hand. Is a shove here too loose when I'd already seen him call large bets without the nuts?

Another loose player whom I'd seen call cbets with weak hands. How do you ever know how to put these types of players on a range? I try not to bluff these guys but have trouble knowing what they might be holding.

And now for something completely different, a very pretty hand from my last HU battle.

Here's a great example of where I figured I was ahead in this HU hand, since my opponent often will stay in to the end with bottom or middle pair. Which, in HU, is often the best hand!

+1. But, in my defense, it is quality spam!

 

[Blobweird123]

What's the word on this? No chance my hand is picked, but I still want to see this happen. My vote is for Scourrge since his was very thorough through his thought process/reads.

I figured I'd get one more hand in here with commentary just so I have a decentish hand in here

pokerkiki Posts SB 15.00
theWATERBOY73 Posts BB 30.00
pifan2004 Folds
ChuckBundy Folds
lukyhearts Folds
SHERMSTICK Calls 30.00
PokerPete343 Folds
buzzsaw44 Folds
S3mper Raised to 95.00 (hero) [3c] [5c] Stack *2,530 (BTN)
pokerkiki Folds
theWATERBOY73 Folds
SHERMSTICK Calls 65.00 Stack * 4,100

Pre flop I was just trying to take the limp (on the BTN) and the blinds figuring if we went to the flop I could rep a bigger hand if I missed and have a polarized hand if I hit

*FLOP*
[Jd] [6d][4d]
SHERMSTICK Checks
S3mper Checks

I flopped a open ended straight draw on an ugly board I decided to check back for a couple of reasons 1.) I didn't want to get check/raised and be forced to fold or play a bigger pot on an ugly board with a draw with 2 possible dead outs (diamonds). 2.) I wanted a chance to be able to steal it on the turn or river without putting my entire stack at risk if I miss.

*TURN*
[Ah] for [jD]-[4d]-[6d]-[Ah]
SHERMSTICK Bets 120.00
S3mper Raised to 395.00
SHERMSTICK Calls 275.00

When he bets out he could be just trying to take it or have a weak Ace I doubt he limp calls a hand like AK-AQ-AJ or even AT so if he has an Ace, a Jack I can get him off of it.

When he calls my raise my first reaction was "GAHHHH" However it was a small raise so I figured he could be holding onto a weak/marginal hand

*River*

[8c]

SHERMSTICK Bets 210.00
S3mper Raised to 920.00
SHERMSTICK Folds
S3mper Mucks
S3mper Won 1445.00 from Pot 1
S3mper Won 710.00 from Pot 2

On the River (complete brick) he bets 210 into a decent sized pot and to me it just looked like a weak blocker bet with a hand like A-9. So I raise 710 more and I felt like the way I played this hand that it would be something I would never do without the nuts or a flush and felt that a weak Ace couldn't call here..

He folds so I either played it horribly with good results or played it decent with good results lol

Aw man too bad I missed this. It would of been nice to get Phil's critique on a hand I posted in brags, beats,challenges. Thread titled Bovada 10k Final table. Oh well maybe next time. GL to all that entered.
