Pokerstars SCOOP 2012

[JohnBoyWWFC]

Day 1 ends at 6.30 GMT I think, so I could get an hour in!

 

[BlueNowhere]

Yea not playing $11 for same reason, late starting time and I have college tomorrow.

Isildur is running sick deep in $530+R. If I was him I'd just feel so awesome every time I regged for tourney and saw my available balance.

 

[BlueNowhere]

Isildur is an absolute sicko, other guy used his whole timebank.

Well that was shit, out first round. Every light 3-bet got 4-bet and every value 3-bet he folded. Every board I played back on he managed to catch. I played 70 hands and didn't one have better than top pair with average kicker J9 on J2238 board. big hand and final hand:


river sucks so bad, I was pretty sure I had him

Thoughts on turning my hand into a bluff on river with Q9?

 

[BlueNowhere]

Just had a quick look through HH re player Jonny and you need to call more OOP, also look for chance to jam the BB over his raise, you can do this pretty wide and he won't call wide enough to make it unprofitable.

 

[BlueNowhere]

I'm raise/calling flop. As played I'm checking back river. I think you're trying to target too small a part of his range when you bluff.

Also that 67s hand 3-bet shoving is going to be better than calling.

Sick cooler last hand

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

I'm always a bit uncomfortable playing suited connectors and such OOP in a 3-bet pot. I always feel like if I hit, I can play it well, obv, but if not, I've bloated the pot and feel the need to take the betting lead. If I flat, my range feels so much wider and it's disguised when I miss. Obv, with his hand, I would have got a fold, but I felt like I was 3betting quite wide, hence why he 4-bet shoved me with A6 with quite a bit left.

Obv never getting away with AKs v AA 25bbs deep, felt like I held my own v an obviously decent player.

 

[RamdeeBen]

sick cooler john.. ;(

what happened to you blue?

 

[BlueNowhere]

But you hadn't 3-bet shoved yet which means that he will fold a decent amount. From the HH replayer I thought it looked like you were relatively tight from the BB, whereas you should be calling more. I did the maths before and jamming 67s in that spot is optimal.

 

[BlueNowhere]

sick cooler john.. ;(

what happened to you blue?

Busted 1st round, think Isildur stole all my luck.

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

TBH, I genuinely think I was getting pretty poor hands from the button, usually I'm opening close to 100%. Maybe I'm wrong.

 

[RamdeeBen]

just won 2nd round after 5mins. A bluffy sort of player who was check raising with 6,7os and all sorts. managed to stack him on the turn with pocket aces and on a k,10,x board after i 3bet pre.

fingers crossed i can win next game and i'll be in the money i think.

 

[RamdeeBen]

annd i'm out.

he was so bad it was unreal. literally had him 4 hands or something alll in and he either split lol or sucked me out. last hand lol

he opens 10,j I shove k,q he spikes trip 10's and to add insult to injury i a jack on the river gives him the nuts and me a straigth lo....

so sick i run so bad
oh yeah and also connection decided to play up big time during heads up meaning i got diconnected a few times.

not my night arrrrrrrrrrrrrrg **** :<

 

[BlueNowhere]

Fields are so soft in these big HU events it's unreal lol.

 

[JohnBoyWWFC]

So, I just jumped in the $11. Decent start, up to 5,500 despite having to fold a set second hand in. Anyone else in?
