As-Jx:

Double barrel is fine. After he raises on the turn, I just fold. We are OOP for one, how are we getting paid off if we 4 flush the guy? We bet, he prob just folds? We check, he checks back?

Fold turn IMO.


Ah-2h:

Fold to 4b. On to the next hand. Nope. Not calling 4b pre. Circle the whip.


A-Ko:


This is $2 NL. When this guy 4b you here, he is going to have QQ+ nearly always. I think the 3b is fine, but I would personally fold to the 4b from V. He just has it. We are flipping at best, or crushed.

AK
It's not so bad if it were 10nl where some have a 4bet bluffing range but at 2nl probably best done only with reads. I'd just flat and check fold if we whiff.
AQ meh 1.67 3bet stat in 166 hands I fold AQ to those stats it's premium crushers only.

Any problem calling this on flop?... I always think in the back of my head I should always be the one shoving so we can account for folds.

But when theres 2 other people... then its a call? I guess according to odds it is but as long as theres no short stackers.

Don't donk flop. Fold as played.

77 hand is quite close imo. We have pot odds: 29.61%, if we count 7 outs we get 28%. Now if we count the rake in things get ugly =) ....

 

[Aces2w1n]

Thanks guys... yep bad old habbit with draws like this.

 

[Aces2w1n]

I don't like being sick. Get better soon man. Folks are giving money away at a poker table somewhere right this very moment, and you are missing it.

 

[braveslice]

Get better soon, and don't even think about playing! When I'm drunk I do ok in poker, but when I have a hangover I just lose so much. And your sickness sounds like a hangover

Latest in supercoach this week is first week of finals.

Ended up on 50 points 2nd and 1st was 52 and 3rd equal 50.

Anyways got a few ppl injured but my opponent knows this but is unaware of my subtitutes playing.

So its good because my opponent will underestimate me and also be over confident and spill out valuable info in the meantime... people who think your know threat are more willing to give u information.


If i win this week i skip next week and go to semi finals last 4 teams.

If i lose ill be playing next week and will need to win to avoid elimination.

 

[Aces2w1n]

4 injuries and i scrape win a win and ill get next week off. Hopefully all my players back in a fortnight.

Fortnight if i win then its grandfinal and if i win that then thats the cash.

But long fortnight ahead and hope the players avoid further mishaps and this was the hard part.

Anyways if i had lost this week i surely wouldve been eliminated next... so a bit of luck went our way and the guy i beat had been ultra lucky... i felt due to have it swing my way

 

[Aces2w1n]

Amusing even with my alarming injuries i can still outscore the winner of this week.

Appears the 2 guys playin for next week are weaker than the other 2.

But i switched from weak to weak at the right time hopefully lol.

They say u need to put things allin to win.... sure risky but rewards there.

Weak to weak what do i mean....

Top 8 played finals i finished 2nd which meant

2vs3 and now cuz 1st lost against 4.

Ill switch to it appears 7th next week who won twice which he has similar issues but my team has huge depth and that comez down to making more money from my trades.

So looking promising. Hoping next week i win which if i played him this week id get him... then grandfinal i get some mega returns which gives me $500


I have visualized the win its close

 

[Aces2w1n]

And thats that sometime september no more stars for aussies

 

[Aces2w1n]

Moving forward im going to try and play 2 pub tournies a week and one night at casino.

This may change depending on heaters etc

 

[Figaroo2]

I don't get why the Aus Gov want to ban online poker. Surely there are more important issues to address. And why is it seen as so bad as that it even needs addressing in front of any other sort of gambling. Conservative madness. As I write this I suppose many of these issues are probably flogged to death by the Yanks in other threads.
So keep use updated on your live poker efforts. I always enjoyed reading your live casino reports. Adding in the human element seems to make it more interesting than the faceless online.

 

[Aces2w1n]

I sure will

I knew deep down it was heading this way unfortunate hence why i havnt put as much effort in as late.

poker online in Australia well the gov doesnt get any taxes from it.

Its all based on money the real reasons and they probably hope we start going towards pokie machines instead.

Looks like its the end of my supercoach season 2nd last week.

Got news i have 3 players out and my best ontop of my other 2 great players.

Only thing i can do is sit and watch it go down the drain hah

Im just choosing a dark horse for double points and hoping the big player who everyone chooses scores low. So yeah thats all i can do is shove allin 2 5 off and and hope he doesnt have a pair and i hit the 2 or 5

 

[Aces2w1n]

Supercoach ended.. didn't make grandfinal oh wells. Set myself up to be competitive and hit injuries all in the same week just at the wrong time.


Anyways played 45mins hudfree... made $3 at 2NL zoom.

Managed to win 50cents from the challenge winning a certain amount of hands within a time frame. Which is easy since I 4 table zoom.

Best hand would've been KJ and flopped straight. tripled up.

 

[Aces2w1n]

Havnt been playing but soul searching
I ask for someone to talk to to express and an ex turns up..

Weird

 

[Aces2w1n]

Looking forward to the updates! Keep us in the loop. Good luck and play well!

 

[Aces2w1n]

Wow its been this long. Sorry guys

I guess an update is... i'm still soul searching and well 2018 is near.

What have I accomplished with 2017, I've learnt a few valuable lessons and it's not exactly all poker.


1. I can't follow my head, I have to follow my heart... This sounds crazy but 2017 I've been paying the price for it. Tried doing what I thought was right, rather what was best for me.

2. Got practice in before it got banned in Australia, So that was great.

3. Keep people close to you, who want the best for you and want to better you. These people are so important and rare.... Ditch the ones who are holding you back.

4. (Added) Sometimes looking in the past isn't a good idea. If you look as deep into it as I do... theres sometimes no getting back and well sometimes its best to stay naïve. But I felt it had to be done if I had to go to the next level in poker and find the core of the problem.

So yeah 2018 is looking scarey to begin with but hopefully it'll turn out for the best. I'm currently in limbo and need to really start making some decisions and get things going in my life.


I still pickup on tells in life, Poker for me really made me see things in a different way, outside the box, I'm not sure if it's just me but personally that's what I have found.

Currently been working 55-60 hour weeks now, just trying to improve my perception at work. I found I was doing the bare minimum for a couple years but this isn't about poker it was about someone else getting that promotion that I had deserved. Anyway I feel I'm better off making sure I show quality even if things didn't go my way.

2018 ... I'll need strength and it seems like my bankroll... Need to restart my life and build it... It's not all that bad, I just feel weird because a lot of guys I know lose their family due to being ditched. But for me it's the other way and I know i'll always get women if I need it... Things always go my way in the end, but I won't take it for granted and just work on improving things 1 by 1 and aim to get fit for poker again in the upcoming year.

I also said i'd dig deep and soul search, well I have but sometimes things are best left in the past and not everything I've done has been pretty but we learn what we have done wrong and push on.



I'm still flat and meh because I know whats to come in the upcoming months.

Still in dude. Sounds like you have a plan, and you are going to move forward.

 

[Aces2w1n]

Yes but its scarey but we all know high risk high reward... ive learnt not trying at all is worse then failing

 

[Aces2w1n]

Sitting waiting for a pub tourney to start.
