Heh, you gotta admit he played a good consistent bluff
Don't like the 300 preflop raise too much with AK.(just a thought)

Anyway don't let it tilt you, it's a freak hand, not many people will pull off a bluff like that.

BTW it's freezing out here. I hate mid-season weather :s
Up to 180$, almost got my bonus and 10$ stellar reward. Really improved my game lately.
Watched HSP yesterday. DURRRRRR IS SIIIIIICK!!

I disagree that raising to 300 it too much. There's alredy almost 300 in the pot, so the raise is not even a pot raise.
Its a tough situation though. It happens. Just take notes on that player, and move on.

Well I'm a heads up player, so I don't like stack-amputating raises preflop. Also I don't like the fact that it implies that the cbet is practically pot-comitting. (half of your stack in there afterwards so... :s ) But hindsight 20/20, so I'm not criticizing anything.

I think the flop shove should be considered as a viable option, depending on the player you're up against. But then again that's in hindsight.

[Debi]

I would have just raised all in instead of the min raise to 900 - but either way you got all your chips in which you had to do.

Gotta love those flush chasers lol.

Thanks Daks would you have chased the flush there?

 

[cjatud2012]

I agree with Debi, shove all-in rather than encourage a flush to chase/ semi-bluff all-in.

 

[Debi]

Thanks Daks would you have chased the flush there?

no

 

[Pokertron3000]

cool thanks people bit dissapointed in myself there and I will be honest I didnt even see the flush draw there ah well back to the grind.

 

[Grinder101]

After the cbet he's pretty much pot committed for the draw. It's a coinflip against AQo and 34% against your hand (10% for a split). But I agree it's a pretty donky play overall .

Lol, don't worry dude, it's ok to fall in love with your hand if it's the nuts
And yeah there's always a next one.
Btw, I was talking about your opponent when I said it was a donky play.

I think a raise to 250 would be better. then your cbet can be smaller too.. as played, postflop is standard.

First hand guess I should have reraised pre? At this level though seeing a cheap flop and quick and easyfold when overcard hits or is this bad thinking at the early stages? Not complaining about the outcome sweet fanny adams I could do lol.

Woop aces just got cracked by jacks looks like today may be intresting........

 

[WiZZiM]

your being a little results orientated saying you should have raised pre...

rasing preflop with jacks here is a mistake at thses levels.. its a hand that i will setmine with in this spot.. the only time ill really raise with it is wehn im in late position, CO and button, ill make a std raise instead of open limping with them. postlfop is fine. so id b very happy with it

[only_bridge]

So odd results for me today. Played 6 SnG's. Placed 4th 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd 2nd.
Its kind of odd, cause I win most of my HU's, but just got very lucky in most of my games, all the way until heads up. And then it was like the tide just turned.

 

[WiZZiM]

yes that is unusual.. generally you want more first and third place finishes than seconds.. but still a decent day for you.

I actually have a question for all the SNG players out there.. just out of curiosity.. how many games do you play per month?


Oh and is bridge a hard game to learn?
